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.

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…
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."

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:

Reg has been talking to the Lover man and listening this time..........
Karma (Lyrics)
Somebody told me what the lover man said
And man did it turn out to be so true
If you take it
And you break it
You break that girls heart in two…
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
Yep sirree...
Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.
cover of the pink floyd song
dr alfredo de pietra on guitars and myself on vocal duties. a slighty different mix from the two versions at songcrafters.
Well What do you Know asked the young lad ....Reg thought about it and replied with a song........a kinda doodle from late last night that took over then couldn't be left........
Well, What do i Know? (Lyrics)
Somebody asked me well what do…
Another one here for 1 week only. My daughter gets married in October & she wanted 'Their' song for their first dance at the reception played by me & sung by her husband. So I came up with this version. Now I need to learn the cello…
This is the song that opened my ears to Rock music thanks to my sisters record collection…..i've been wanting to give this one a go since i first ever heard it at the age of about 10….so its only took about 40 years and thanks to Speed Demon i…
Back for another listen.
Last time I listened to this I immediately went upstairs and wrote/sang some rude lyrics into my recording machine... This time I'm just gonna go to bed and have a nice sleep...
Had a couple of ours spare this morning while the gang have gone for a bike ride/walk....so here goes...
Lets Fly (Lyrics)
Everybody's laughing but I feel like to cry
As I watch the party pass us by
I don't know what to think or what to do
Baby…
Here's a cover from the Band from the late 60's Gene again is in charge of the music and the mix and a great job he does of both..... i'm doing the warbling hope you enjoy..........
Well Reg Knows somethings up but what is it every time he ask's her she says nothing....now what does that mean??...he knows something is a miss.....
What's Gone Wrong (Lyrics)
Do you realise what you mean to me
Your my heaven here on earth…
I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
A cool mixture of MIDI and conventional instruments.
Slide guitar courtesy of my trusty Zippo lighter.
There is no better lighter / slide :) Buy one, it could save your life.
For M.T.
Enjoy!
Oh yeah, this is the biz. Lovely stuff.
I've tried using a Zippo as a slide - can't get on with it, just can't compete with the stack of various slides standing beside the recording machine...
As a lighter, though, cannot be beaten :)
it was a fun song to do and had different changes of some different musical styles than i've done before. overall im pleased with this songs outcome.
especially since from this point forward i will be making music on a different, better pc. i…
The absolute first song I ever wrote, sitting alone in a cold gray prison cell. This particular also actually took me the longest to actually complete, as it was several years before I seemed to actually get all of the words right.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
dig it from the first note cool guitars and bass & vocals downloaded...thanks! KC
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

Well, I've not heard this one before meself... Very very tasty
BIG vocal! Nice one.
Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.
Yah buggers!! (Quietly takes a sheet of paper out of the pile of "possible covers to attempt") Brilliant, guys. Mighty fine version
Yeah, like this one, it's a grower
Good start! lol It rocks, I love the groove when it kicks in.
Nice one.
Back for another listen. Last time I listened to this I immediately went upstairs and wrote/sang some rude lyrics into my recording machine... This time I'm just gonna go to bed and have a nice sleep...
Nice one. I'm getting "happy" from this too - still with an underlying "something else", though lol
Superb. Utterly brilliant track. Not my usual kind of thing musically... but it dragged me in... and, well, wow...
Oh yeah, a FINE version. I'd NEVER have guessed that The Band was the next on the list lol What's next???
Oh crumbs, this is brilliant. It's a bit of a stunner...
Ohh it's totally fabulous. A superb lead vocal performance, blissful to listen to. And I'm with La Savage on the backing vox - they are gorgeous.
Like how this one skips along. And I love the sentiments :)
Oh yeah, this is the biz. Lovely stuff. I've tried using a Zippo as a slide - can't get on with it, just can't compete with the stack of various slides standing beside the recording machine... As a lighter, though, cannot be beaten :)
Couldn't get this to play... had to download it to listen to it.... But, boy, was it worth the effort!! Gorgeous.
Like it. There is so much going on in here. I'm a bit tired at the moment anyway, but I just lay here on the sofa and let it wash over me.
Huge and rocking.
Yep, like your stuff - looking forward to hearing more.
Fantastic sound. Love your voice.
