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.

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it.
I'd actually settled down to finally record a…
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…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
This song's going on 32 years old...
Some 12 years older than I was when I wrote it!!
I borrowed the title from one of my favourite madrigals, The Silver Swan by Orlando Gibbons:
"The silver swan who living hath no note, when death approached…

Ok - a collab between myself, Lady Jane and FDR. I hope the MP3 does it justice. Nice one you guys.
I put the basics together, FDR did lead and suggested the theme on "gliding", and LJ created the words, sang, added some effects (chimes, woodblock…
This is a bonus track of sorts for the mock EP It takes a village. I had the verse chord chages around for many years but just until last week the song and lyrics came together really quickly. I thought I heard a band arrangement originally but…
Woo! Something different. Yep, stripped down works... Like this one a lot.
I suspect that you have the same problems that I do with "stripped down" lol (I'm sat on something that's probably "done" - actually Mrs Russe sez it is - but it feels scarily naked to me!)
And that guitar midi controller does the job. Now you've said it, I can hear some "guitar thinking", but I wouldn't have questioned it at all if I hadn't known. Mebbe I've got to get me one...
Sometimes I can find solace in the sky.

A pretty raw version of a wonderful old Fairport Convention song. Recorded using the built-in mic on my iPhone, with elec guitar running through a small VOX amp w/ some delay. The room is hardly soundproof ... BUT ... I like it ... hope you do…

Yes :)
I love what you do with words.
Gumbo, don't be too quick to volunteer - that was my first reaction too, but after a few listens I could hear a darker side in this little song...
Gumbo? Gumbo? Guys!... quick, get the spades... he might still be breathing lol
Cover of one of my favortie Beatles songs, from the White Album.
I actually bought a capo for this, after 30+ years of thinking capos are for wimps.
The Songcrafters.org Beatles II fest prompted me to go ahead and record it.
I wrote this song at a bowling alley in my small hometown in the Panhandle of FL/Lower Alabama
She blew into town on a one night Stand
Over eggs there was no one holding her hand
Just like the sauce
She became a mystery

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Very impressive ! love it
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one That you decide to wear." Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train." And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail."
Still love this tune...
great vocals....amazing pipes you've got there!
Excellent song. Well written and performed Andrew. Reminiscent of early Bowie for me, but unique and stylish in it's own right.
brilliant, love the guitar work !!!
wow, cool !
Nice work. Many of us would like to be able to play and sing as well as you, I'm betting.
Love it. Well played and very ZZ. Keep on rocking!
You like that girl, I like this song :-)
really good !
Takes me back to the days of great 70's era rock. Tops!!!!!
Missed this one. Nice breakdown section....sounds like red SG doodling :)
It's great the way you play different styles. Keep on rocking.
Brilliant. Love the atmosphere...
My condolences ...
The lady died. Yesterday, I believe. RIP Ally Sixsmith, thinking of you xxxxx
wow, wonderful ! This is really smooth and soulful. It has a bit of a Kinks vibe.
Andrew never disappionts , good stuff
Now I know what it's about...it's a whole less tragic and a million times more amazing that people like you exist.

Wooo! The blues has come creepin' into your stuff :) Nice one, like it.
And I REALLY like the instrumental... woof!
Oooh yeah - rocking riff.
Rockin. Love the guitar.
A star in the making. Don't let they oldies hold you back :)
Oh superb... Beautiful, inspiring.
And I still utterly adore this song... We need a "Fave it a second time" button lol
Nice one. I like the stripped down approach - really powerful on this.
Oh I love this.
Simple and wonderful.
Oh yeah. Inviting, yep. Love it.
More clever words - how do you do it? :)
Mighty mighty fine.
Oh YEAH!! Wot a groove. Vox, geetar, everything... Faved & followed :)
Yes :) I love what you do with words. Gumbo, don't be too quick to volunteer - that was my first reaction too, but after a few listens I could hear a darker side in this little song... Gumbo? Gumbo? Guys!... quick, get the spades... he might still be breathing lol
Oh FAB! :) These are the vocals we wanted from the old version... Am I allowed to "un-fave" the old version?! ;)
Oh yeah, very nice version. The song kinda passed me by, this one of those covers that wakes me up to the original :)
Yeah... short but very powerful. Love the imagery. OK - there's only four so far. I want to hear MORE!! :)
