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…
Here's a new one. Well, a new old one, actually... And a bit different than the last one!
Something old, something new, something borrowed, and, er, something blue...

**Nobody Loves You - A A J Russe**
Nobody loves you
Like you…
I wasn't going to post this - it's the original demo that the finished version is based on. This is the same lead vocal and resonator part that's on the full version - no EQ or anything, just the naked tracks. There's two bars of silence before…
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…

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
A new one...
I wrote it on 5th February, and managed to record it in less than a month (a head-cold and lack of hearing in one ear slowed the last lap somewhat).
But seeing as the last one took over 8 months, I think I'm already ahead for…
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…
Now this is my kind of rock n roll! You have the whole package... guitar playing, vocals to die for & superb production. If you were playing anywhere near me, I'd be there like a shot!
Thanks for the kind comments on my stuff too, mate. As you asked... all my guitar tones are from a VOX Tonelab amp modeller, which I record dry & add reverb/delay in the final mix.

I enjoyed the demo version immensely and then this was up next. This brought an already great track up to the next level! It was a real pleasure to hear these back to back.

Poor old Reg walks the roads alone....again......Acoustic & Vocal....
No-one don’t know nothing (Lyrics)
Life’s got a little crazy since it all went bad
the angels up in heaven are looking down at me real sad
cause no-one knows my name cause…
My wife is slowly collaging the walls of our studio with random sayings and images from magazines, artwork, photography, album art ect... so I had the idea to pull all of my lyrics for this track from the walls.
LYRICS:
What's my next…
Reg is leaving in the morning...there's a great big world out there to see....Acoustic & Voice trying to play that Bb Harp.........
I can’t play it safe (Lyrics
i can hear you say you want to play it safe
but i’ve got dreams i want to…
I jumped on Chunks tune from over on Songcrafters...Thanks Chunk
I can't go forward for looking Back (Lyrics)
she held her self open
she laid her self bare
she told me her dreams
show told me her dreams
she told me her dreams how i could…

Hes back on the booze.......
Fallen from Grace again (Lyrics)
before you judge take a walk in my mind
walk in my shoes if you’ve got the time
people don’t laugh i’m broken again
cause i’ve fallen from grace again
i’ve fallen from grace again…
"I'm dreaming of good times, hey baby what was your name?" - yes!
Love that riff. And that little cowbell count just puts a big smile on my face every time it appears...
Oh yeah, and a classy title too... lol
James said it: "Oh yeah..."
I've been listening a lot to the original recently, and this version's got the vibe. I'd love to hear a mix that you're happier with.
Oh, and some FINE harp playing.
Nice feel and gorgeous vocals. Nice one. And jingles/tingles at the end :-)
Have you guys got more sunshine than the rest of us? That's two tracks with a really summery vibe. How have you managed to summon that up? I'm frozen and shivering here...
Had this one written before the end of year. Finally hit the record button a couple of weeks ago with some electric rythym guitar tracks and built it from there. I was having a problem getting the song to mix right and had an idea to try a different…
Mark wrote the lyrics after waking up with them in his head. He didn't know what to do with them so sent them, entitled If I Say, to Lady Jane to play with. Then Jip sent some music, called Jozzy, to Lady Jane to play with. Being a lazy mare…
Music: Jip
Verse lyrics: Mark Goldsack
Chorus lyrics: Lady Jane
Lead recorder: Lady Jane
Vocals: Lady Jane
A wonderful collaboration that came about by Jip and Mark sending me music/lyrics totally independently and me having a eureka…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
I like this song.
Wow, amazing transition from the demo. Both are great in their own way...nice work!
Love this. Love the gtr...
Great song, Andrew. Love the chorus and the gtr riffs.
Nicely Done. Great production and mix. Thanks for the comments from a couple weeks ago.
Clean as a whistle, soulful expressions, masterfully produced. Top notch!
Super sound, very airy and dynamic arrangement, thoroughly enjoyable!
Nice clean sound, enjoyable to listen to.
Said it already, but your voice is superb! The emotion you convey in this wonderful song is breathtaking!
I grew up in the '70s & your music reminds me of the best of what was on offer in that decade. Your singing makes me jealous... cos I can't :-)
Now this is my kind of rock n roll! You have the whole package... guitar playing, vocals to die for & superb production. If you were playing anywhere near me, I'd be there like a shot!

Oh my... this is so good!
Well constructed ditty :)
Soulful classic rock at it's best. You sing beautifully & your arrangement is masterful. Loved it :-)
Wow! This is just awesome.... "Silver swan don’t let up if it takes too long".... I love this line What a great story to go along with another amazing track! Thanks for sharing this one
Tight as a drum. Very pro.
This song rocks!

I'm glad you did decide to share this. The slide and shake guitar is outstanding!
This track is fabulous. The way it blows up in the chorus is fantastic! Beautiful lyrics my friend!

Flip, you've been busy while I've been twiddling me thumbs... Another cool stripped down track
Oh yeah, this works... big time.
Oh this is the business. Nice harp.
Cool track guys
What a voice. Nice track.
Aha... I needed waking up... and this did the job. Rockin
Nice one.
Yeah, like it. Makes me think of Marc Bolan.
Cool track.
Oh yeah... five chunky classics. Looking forward to the other half of it.
And more slide - tasty. Like the effect of the chords and how it rolls along. Tasty stuff.
"I'm dreaming of good times, hey baby what was your name?" - yes! Love that riff. And that little cowbell count just puts a big smile on my face every time it appears... Oh yeah, and a classy title too... lol
Ooo! I hear slide... Oh this is rocking stuff sir. The old feets is tapping here. Great way to wake up this morning. Love those lead breaks.
Both kinds of music... rock... and... roll. Yeeha! Nice one.
