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:

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.

What a great story to go along with another amazing track! Thanks for sharing this one

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.

I've been messing around playing guitar from time to time... I came up with some progressions and thought maybe I should lay down some tracks since I haven't posted in a while. I found the beginnings of some lyrics I had jotted on my iPhone and…
I just acquired a five string banjo. It was broken and I did a lot of work to it. It is now playable, though I'm waiting on some parts (the 5th string tuner is no good so it only has 4 strings, and I have to tune of of those 4 using vise grips…
Yes - Like it. Really works like this.
I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off.
This has re-awakened the urge.
This is one that I started with a synth progression and over the week it grew....
Everything is in there but the kitchen sink I think. Used midi for GB synth sounds, choirs, bass, Kontakt strings and organ, piano,horns, sax lab for sax, godin…

Music and Lyrics by OsCKilO 2013
I had never seen a place so cold...
Glad I don't live there any more.
Happy that I like the simple life...
Bright lights.
Sun and Moon.
Any Star that lead away from you.
Now I move on, not moved…
Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
from the jail cell came a song from the condemned .......

No it's not the Zep track....it's a bit of blues Reg style thinking of those poor folk who survived the levee breaking in New Orleans but had nothing and had lost loved ones.......

oh She is beautiful even dressed…
This is the title track off my second album. That means it's not a new track, or recording. It was written in summer of 2012 and recorded around October or November of that year. But it had not been put up here and I thought I would share it…
A little sick; but couldn't resist.

The lighthouse is still: calling me out to play.
I know we flipped the covers, but still I can feel the waves
The glass in the mirror, wont mean a thing till the wind sings along.

Home Again

I was brought up just north of New York City
Where the Merrit greets the Hutch
In a noisy house on a quiet street
Where the neighbors know too much
There's a weekend in spring when they throw out old things

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! 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.
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!

First of yours I've heard. Nice one. Got me clicking the "Follow" button.
Yep, like this version too.
Yes - Like it. Really works like this. I want to get a banjo, but I'm filled with trepidation over what sort to get - so I keep putting it off. This has re-awakened the urge.
Cool version.
Nice one. I like everything-but-kitchen-sink music anyway (well, I can't not, can I?!), love how you've fitted it all together. Gorgeous track.
Oh yes, love it. Around two minutes, the stuff on the right (I'm in headphones) scared the crap out of me!! I actually ducked as it appeared lol
Aww, this is fabulous.
Yo T :-) Good to hear some new stuff from you. Like it.
Oops! Wrong account... that was me :-) Yeah... love the vocal
Another goodie. Where DO they all come from?! :D
Oh this is class. Love it.
Like it! Lots
Yeah, like it... DIY and all!
You are a crazy man! One of a kind...
Nice one.
Another cool chorus. And you're not alone on the subconscious song subject!
Nice one, like the chorus a lot.
Glad you couldn't resist. Love it.
Don't know the original, but I like this version.
Yep, cool RPM. Nice one. Digging the Stones and Crowes type boogie.
