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…

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie.
It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815.

This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
Mrs R likes these three (My Friend, More then, & After All)

She don't dislike the other stuff, but... er...
Oh you know what I'm trying to say!! lol
This song came from prayer and is to give hope and encouragement to all who are having trouble moving forward due to their past.
Lift Up Your Head
Young lamb torn and bleeding
Caught in barbed wire, scared and alone

The banjo, bass and guitar on this song
was played by Michael Jeffrey. This is one song off the record we did together back in 1975/6 on his 4 track machine. Michael and Barbara Anne Taylor sing harmony.

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
@guest
:) don't let that inner puppy get sunburned.
Some of what you've been doing yourself recently went into the ability to create this one. And I nearly even posted the songwriting demo!!! :0
This is a poem written by my late grandmother, Margaret Nina Hogan, written for her first daughter, Dolores. This was probably written in the early 1930's in England. My grandmother wrote a lot of poems throughout her life and i have put about…
This is the story of Abraham and Isaac and how this prefigures the Eternal Sacrifice of Jesus.

The production of this song was influenced by Paul McCartney's song "Sing the Changes"
He Calls Me
I’ll climb rugged mountains
I’ll swim through the sea
I’ll walk hills and valleys
My Lord is calling me
Oh, He calls me,
Yes, He calls me…
So MTC put out [this wonderfully sparse instrumental piece](http://alonetone.com/mtcband/tracks/shadow-of-myself) and a vocal line just jumped out at me. Then some harmonies jumped out as well.

Fantastic, utterly brilliant. The audacity to take this on...
Made me rethink some old bollox I've got waiting for me to finish...
Superb guys - HUGE grin on this old face...

one cool thing about piano pieces is that they lend themselves to being rearranged for other instruments, since the piano encompasses the entire range,,, this is a pared down version of my last weeks submission le baiser apres-midi = the afternoon…
You asked the other day about the story behind Sleeping With The Ghost - I've been wracking my brains to remember what caused it.
It's pretty much out of my head, and I was exploring the break-up of my first marriage - although I'm not sure I actually knew it was breaking up at the time I wrote it!
I think the imagery came from a children's program on UK TV when I was younger? I think it might have been called The Mandeville Ghost, or something like that, anyway. There is a ghost of "Sir Geoffrey of Mandeville" documented - contains nothing like this though.
Also, the legend behind the plot in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" had a quite a bit to do with the pictures in my head when I was writing it.

oooo, very nice. I liked the original, and the flute addition is wonderful (for some reason the sound of a flute takes me nearer to "an afternoon kiss" than just piano alone does).
I've been teasing Steve (SLKrell) about Rose, from Las Cruces Nevada, ever since he wrote a song about her for Valentines Day a few years ago.
Rosie is a figment of our imagination. I wrote a song about stealing her away from Steve:
http…
Could this possibly be the same Rosie that was round my place the other day? Surely not?
:-o
Small world...
(But don't tell the missus...)
This is a mighty fine song...
the one I got out of it is just a touch "racier" - I'm waiting for Steve Tyler to do his vocal on it now - But if it is the same girl, I reckon she's been a-messin' both you boys around some...
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Aww brilliant,the rabbit hole is a comfortable place to be. I see you have visited here often.
Vocals, guitar, bass guitar and overall production is on point. Sounds good!
beautiful lyrics “ my heart was broken when the last girl found it” ... love the backer bouncing along nicely ... Loved your phrasing... did I say I loved it ... downloaded and saved ......forever
Love the song, I will now get to know more of your music. Awesome creation
Incredible vocals. The song reminds me of something that would heard in a Tim Burton movie.
Unique with a few fun twists like “we still don’t know how long to wait .... forever”. Love it
Wow...just wow. Andrew, this sounds great, and I love the song. Beautifully done!
Life on Mars - like
Lyrics, melody....well crafted mate
Killer guitar tones, again great vocals man, dry and in my face- and again, the emotion comes thru- great !
Hey man - first i want to thank you for listening and commenting on our stuff - i am guilty of not spending much time on the Atone - anyway - this track is killer man! The melody is playful yet the lyrics seem a bit sarcastic, kinda intense. Love your voice too
Beautifully played and sung
Amazing lyrics - an incredibly bittersweet tribute...
A touching song! well written and performed love the middle 8 very much enjoyed! KC
Love this.... mysterious and sad and lovely....
We, in our depiction of that night in the old West would have said, "...a hot cup of coffee."
"And Blazey’s left her homework on the trainEven though they’re thirsty They don’t stop to get a drink..." forever lines...
It's like you are channeling Bowie from a slightly different planet.
I have had similar response to Bjork and Kate Bush lately...
Love the way you stretch and twist the chords.

It's often really useful listening to someone else's recent alonetone favourites. A class bowl of noodles, sir!
Henny, this one is growing on me each time I hear it. I REALLY like this one.
Wonderful - and I think it does its job too. Fabulous chorus.
I like this a lot.
Yep. Love it.
Ooo, I found this cos someone favourited it (thanks B!) It's gorgeous :)

Beautiful.
Oh yes. Fabulous.
I was listening to them in order, enjoying everything, and then suddenly this one kicked into action - quite woke me up :) Loving what you're doing.
Like it :) I was reading the comments, and waiting for the harmonies - oh yes.
Oh what a classic! This is hilarious and utterly brilliant. You're not Nigel Tuffnel are you?
Can't get over this one though... Off to the broom-cupboard now to exorcise my inner Percy
Like I said off elsewhere... I loved Every Day. This does the job, boy do it do the job :)
Wooo! When I read "hip-hop" I thought, oh no, it won't grab me. SO WRONG!! I love this. Yeah, do more, post more :) Faved and followed.
