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:

I like it. It leaves an unmistakable impression, well constructed.An air of tragedy about the story rather than joy - but, sometimes songs write themselves. Good work/play. Thanks for sharing.

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

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.

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.

she wanders about inside my mind sending me crazy from time to time but i love…
Excellent.
A little less "cuddly" than I was expecting from the title though... Not sure whether the object of the song needs to take out a restraining order or not lol
The new one's almost done, but as this site hates Windows, got to delete and upload songs to move them up !!! Blame the Grandson for this one. Toby asked 'what's that' A Electric guitar, said I, hadn't played it for years, out popped this, bless…
Okay , this may be my last Hendrix cover for awhile. I have been itching to record a few new original songs that are waiting in the wings. These covers were fun to do and I discovered alot about the songs I didnt no before. On this one I added…
One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
The second of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.

Hi all. I am new to all this. I have been writing lyrics for many years and have done nothing with them, until now. Thanks to Lady Jane , I will be putting these projects to life.All original stuff. Symphony in me is just a bit of fun, unmastered…
I tend to name my tracks off of internet memes and science fiction writers/books when I cannot think of a song. This one is named after a series of excellent books by Harry Harrison entitled Deathworld. Seriously. Go read them.
Anyhow the…
That's a cool groove.
Welcome. Yep, this is the place to put your stuff. One of the things I love about it is that I end up hearing and enjoying stuff that I wouldn't normally search out... like this! lol
Looking forward to hearing more
I boarded up windows,
Fixed the cracks on my sills
And I, bought a new pair of scissors,
Cut away scattered seams,' so it seems
I took a vacation,
Away from the dark creaks, floor boards in my eyes
And it's been a long, been a long, been…
I almost faved it on the title alone before listening. Superb title.
And the song doesn't let it down... knew it wouldn't...
I love the groove. And how your vocal works that reverb in the verses.
This is my attempt at incorporating some classical instrumentation with a song ... I even tried singing a bit of opera ... well one bar of deep "la la's" LOL. Used my Godin acoustic electric for this one.
Thanks for listening
The second word
Then from the three.
The middle stands out.
Second from I.
No reason to doubt.

Epic and superb.
Inspired and inspiring - nice one, very nice one.
When I started I looked at 18:42 and thought "you've gotta be kidding me!!". But I've been entranced from one end to the other... Off to part two now.
Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.
I put the bass line down and arranged the drums Saturday morning and returned later that night about 10:00 pm . I worked until 2 am and laid…
YESSIRREEE!
This is the bizness. I knew you could pull it off :)
Particularly love the bridges ("That's why") and how they slam into the chorus. Always loved those bits...
And the solo, and the guitar on the last chorus/out - sounds like you've got walls of plexis rattling the control room windows.
... and lol at sticking EXP on the front of it.
This one needs a FAVE of the FAVES button.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
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.
Very nicely done - air of tragedy as jip mentioned prevents me from loving it but unmistakable mastery. Fabulous title. You're welcome.
Another beauty from the Mr Russe songbook ....love the E Bow!!
I like it. It leaves an unmistakable impression, well constructed.An air of tragedy about the story rather than joy - but, sometimes songs write themselves. Good work/play. Thanks for sharing.
*Another Masterpiece Andrew!* Very unique and interesting.
I think it works... sounds great! As usual, the vocal is stellar.
Wonderful story telling. Another great song! Thanks for posting this one even if it battled you!!
Great songwriting, as usual! The mix needs some EQ, it's a little "thick", and the drums don't quite suit the song IMO. But nonetheless, great job!
I was totally enchanted, great song.
This song just totally moved me. WOW!
Enjoying a dip into a playlist by you! Your music is just awesome! Thanks for my Sunday afternoon soundtrack.
Nice guitars, background open chords too. Good one.
Really nice production and playing. It has a wonderful 70's feel to it.The vocal matches perfectly to the style.
Real magic
Incredible production and mix. I hear some Three Dog Night influence.
Well Howlin Wolf is back
Great sound / feel

Oooh yeah. Nice one.
Oh yeah... Nailed it. This is superb
Now that works. I love the aahs leading into and through the string section.
Aw this is fabulous
Yeah... like it. Grab an oar and get rowing ya buggers...
Thought I'd better listen to the original after hearing Colin Garvey's covers of it. Yep, I can see why he went for it. Nice one.
Like both versions. But, with the mood I'm in, this one edges it for me at the moment. And you're right, it's a great song.
Rocking stuff.
Yep, liking the sounds you're making :)

Might be bog standard, but it sounds great :)
Wacky as ever... :) Liking those rhythm guitar sounds a lot.
Very cool track. Love the arrangement, vocals, everything.
Woo, this is a bit special, T Love it.
Brilliant. Rockin. Excellent, what a trip.
