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.

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

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.

Feel So Blue
Shes the kinda lady I've wanted all my life
The kinda lady that you want to make your wife
Once i found her I never stop the chase
I didn't want my entire life to turn out to be a waste
So I told her that I loved he…
One of my favourites from the 60's. Stones recorded this one twice: with strings and with vibes. I've done it with cajon and a little grit.
Thanks for listening.

IF THE SPIRIT MOVE YOU........... Oh, my Lord done just what he said
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
He healed the sick and he raised the dead
Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me
Shine on, let it…
..and the next one is...
Acting Like a Fool
Laying here half asleep
with sun shinning down through the window it peaks
The crack of the curtain shows the world outside
What have I done where have I been
was I really back out on the scene…
Reg and Regfunkel reunion tour 2012...live in the Bunker...
Yesterday's Dreamer
Yesterday's dreamer sat on the sidewalk
Trying to find a way through his clouded mind
There was no rhyme or reason
To why he was feeling so down inside…
I was finally able to finish this one up over this past week. Like always I am never satisfied but I have come to a point where I just tell myself enuff is enuff and move on to the next song...pheww! Hopefully it sounds good on everyone elses…
Still haven't got the headphones on it... but it's turned up LOUD this time :)
I can hear all the sparkly and shiny bits properly now - I could tell they were there, but I had to have it very quiet last night...
Love the guitars and the organ. Love where the vocal sits.
Nice. Very nice :)
Yep... :)
Kinda shows you don't need no drums to rock if you've got a vocal like that (says the man struggling with drums on three tracks now lol)
Love it.

Just read the "About" blurb (it wasn't there when I first listened). I've only been hearing it on PC speakers so far... but it sounds to me like "enuff is enuff" was the right call. I'll give it another listen on headphones tomorrow.
The missus likes it too :)

This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.

She don't dislike the other stuff, but... er...
Oh you know what I'm trying to say!! lol
This song came from prayer and is to give hope and encouragement to all who are having trouble moving forward due to their past.
Lift Up Your Head
Young lamb torn and bleeding
Caught in barbed wire, scared and alone

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 :-)

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!

Yeah. The magic has not left the bunker yet...
One of my (many!) favourites from the 60s too. So I approached this with a little bit of trepidation... But WOW! What a fine fine version. Loved it.
Nice one.
BRILLIANT!
lol love it... OK, what is it fueling this stuff? You guys are getting some air as well aren't you?
Is there some sort of mid-life crisis thing going on down in that bunker?! :) Very moody... Love the restrained vibe
Fab... this is the business, boys :)

Superb.
Yeah, just what I needed at the end of a hard day's sleeping at the office... My dog is done now.... and raring to go.

Oh yeah, summery. Gorgeous tones.

It's often really useful listening to someone else's recent alonetone favourites. A class bowl of noodles, sir!
Henny, this one is growing on me each time I hear it. I REALLY like this one.
Wonderful - and I think it does its job too. Fabulous chorus.
I like this a lot.
Yep. Love it.
