Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen.
I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

Thanks for your comments on my latest... I agree with you... some things we’ve changed during this time would be best if we adopted them forever. I don’t think I can ever drive in bumper to bumper traffic ever again... virtual hugs to you and yours. Thanks for listening!!
There seems to be a lot of it about - ukes - did everyone get them for christmas or something? Should I be getting one? (Used to have one years ago, the young Andrew rated it at the same level as a recorder - an "instrument of the devil" lol)
Expert use of the thing here, sir.

It was 3 minutes before I realised I was listening to two things at once lol. I was thinking "this one is far too complex for me".

Yep, I was kind of going for 70s (early-mid 70s Slade was in my mind - bass and vocals, the rest fits where it can). I actually feared I had the drums TOO upfront for that!! lol
I tried and failed with a lot of percussion too - I felt it needed it. There's some tambourine, and some voices doing shaker noises - but none of it was good enough to come too high in the mix. What I really wanted was some clapping, but that didn't work at all!
#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…
New mix (24th Oct 2013).
Vocals & Lyrics: Errol Chugg
Composed by Steffen Offermann & Errol Chugg
Guitar: Bobby Clohessy & Mark A. Shrider
Bass: Andreas Glummert
Drums: Ken Grover
A song that I wrote in the mid-90s, became a bigger number when my band 'Y' took it into the studio and we tightened it up a notch. Proud of this one (as of all of my babies) G:)
The story is of the actor on the stage...
A story of conflict between a couple. I played the part of the male, Shelagh (I think) was herself. Came together in the studio and was a favourite live.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
I'm going to play this a lot along with She was dead ... fantastic.
Hauntingly beautiful. Well done!
Love the chord changes in the intro. Great hook.
Yup the same around here the haint remains when the body is gone. Its a bit hard to explain unless you are A Cherokee I liked your explanation for all of us to peek into your process. good on this

Beautiful version
Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.
A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.
You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!
Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.
Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*
Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected
Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)
Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.
I think we both needed a break from the dark covid songs :-) very well written song! enjoyed! KC
Loving it 😁

lol - keep taking the tablets! Love it.
Tasty
Yep some good stuff in here.
Nice one. Me and the missus are watching Band Of Brothers again at the moment - for me, this has the same emotional kick to it that the B.O.B. theme has.
Ooo yeah. Like this. Nice song and gorgeously clean arrangement.
On a second listen, it's not a just "nice one", it's a "very nice one"
Very nice sounds - looking forward to more.

Nice one. Been listening to quite a few of yours - I like the sounds you're making.
Cool track. Like that "swampy" guitar.
Oh YES - this is mighty mighty fine.
Faved from the intro... Sounded so sweet, and the lyrics looked good... luckily the track lived up to it all! Lovely song. Yep, winner.
Oh yeah, very well put together. Love that bass groove holding it down.
Nice one. Big vox!
lol - like it
Yep...
One of my (many!) favourite songs. Nice performance.
