I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

What no comments? This one works for me. Love the lyrics... Actually, I'm wondering whether, like me, you were watching the winter olympics while writing? All sorts of stuff snuck into my lyrics, inspired by the coverage in the background. And when the games finished, the ideas dried up for a day or two for me - almost like I'd relied on them. Anyways, remembering how I was feeling those couple of weeks, I can kinda see how this one might have had the same thing going on in the background.

You've got outtakes?! With my FAWM, it was "done, don't like it, but hey, chuck it in the pot" LOL ... Loving the vibe of this one... and I'm glad I'm not the only one going "awkward vocal/lyrics" and other folks go "hey it's cool!!!!"
Can you see the morning light?

Liking your songs - I'll be back for more (and yes, indeed, nearly all the ones I did for FAWM 2022 I'd be expecting to record them as "band" songs... but I've now got into this acoustic vocal thing to get all the old songs done as demos...)
RPM 2022. I finished a song.. does that count?
Well the early bird
Catches the worm
Eats it up
And shits it out
Onto the lawn
And into the dirt
Where the worms crawl
And use the soil to form
To be eaten once more
By the early birds…

Foolishness - A A J Russe
Written 3rd January 1988
Recorded 1st March 2022
The Shoebox Demos Vol 1
****
While writing and recording songs for FAWM 2022 I discovered that I can create acoustic demos of nearly any song I've ever written…
Hehehe... there's LOTS of youthful angst is these Songs from the Shoebox... possibly an embarrassing amount... You wait... let's see if I'm brave enough to record the ones from 1978/9!!!
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Loved this when I first heard it two weeks ago. Still a firm favourite for me. I love the whole album, but I think this and the closer, The Final Few Minutes, are my favourites. I guess they both speak directly to me.
In the final few minutes
That I'll be around
Will you waltz with me in it
Would you turn me down
Would you turn me down
As the time's running out
And I make my advance
Would there be any doubt
If I take the chance
Can I have one…

Classy (I'm running out of superlatives). I'm digging this album.
This grew on me. Love the chorus, I think that's what did it for me.
What can I add that hasn't been said already? (Dang, Riff, Wow) ... digging it.
Whoa! What an opener. It was cool as it started, then the band kicked in. Love it.
I'm glad I'm not alone on liking this one :)
It's a gorgeous sound.
Hey it's cool!! :)

An excellent set of tracks... work Zoom meetings kept interrupting my enjoyment, though!!
Nice one - I hope this is the start!

Sorry! Only just got round to listening to any of your stuff... (And in moment I've gotta go off and cook my wife's dinner!) Welcome :)
Whatever... it's so cool. We need something other than a Favourite button for this... a "You Win" button or something LOLOLOLOL
Yeah, maybe some Mr McCartney vibes, but I'm getting 10CC myself...
HOLY SH1T!!! This is fantastic...
