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
Like you…
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 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!!

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…

I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that.
It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.

I like the sound of your voice. You can be gentle or hectic. Both are good. Wish you all the best my friend. I have written your name in my book and will listen to more Helen. X

from the album “Savior of the World”

Keith Howell on drums

It’s so tiring just to be near you
So close and for so long
But i wouldn’t want to be anywhere else

I wanna know, the weight of the world
It must be so much It crushes my soul
Oh no, now i feel It’s coming apart…

Without Hands (Perfection)
Verse One
It’ll never snow here
In this quiet little town
even winter brings
a green green ground
still stranger yet
in his monolithic place
so delicate
with scars on his face
Chorus
All the words you…
Paisley Tears
Verse One
Awake to the sound of broken glass I know,
It’s far too real
A wispered word could spark a fight
We learn to play so still
In Shadows hiding from the light
Children against thier will

But I’m more than…

Verse One
This life in focus
I feel it has no meaning, its purpose ever fleeting
And how we get through
This world and aspdcts thereof

Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
Blue Skies
Verse One
I try to imagine, a sky too blue
Your hearts older, but mine ages too
I turn to wisper, you've lost the war
Holding to everything, you've lost

And we're all to blame
Holding your fame to favour
All your…
Kisses Goodnight
Verse One
After Goodbyes and all,
We’re now on our way
We’re leaving here for now
Cold hands, spin me around
Eyes lock and innocence becomes
My eyes
PreCH
The photographs
Still frames in my mind
Forged memories…
everybody's waiting for the light
but we don't need the sun to show our bright side
strip away the veil before your eyes
wading in with nothing on our minds
good morning swimmers
if you should respond to our invite
you may even come…
we can see all the damage done
well you might be the lucky one
i can see where you're coming from
you just might be the fortunate one
this is my final run, this is
i can breathe when the race is run
and i might be the only one
you can…
Don't shiver when it's cold outside
Don't confuse a sense of place with pride
We're first to see by the dawn's early light

when i was telling all the other kids i was 13
the hotel has a pool, it has a couple of vending machines
with all my story telling done, i went home to mow the lawn
i fell under the blades and now my summer dreams are gone
that's just one…
spoon full of sugar in the mouth
far too sweet had to spit it out
now by bitterness replace
a winterfresh, peppermint taste
it still lingers on your breath
on your lips, the kiss of death
so have another piece of cake
wash it down with…
Hey, can I see the little treasure that you found?
Tell me where did you find it, was it lying on the ground?
Well this treasure that I found was just lying on the ground
Out in the pouring rain
Tell me, from me to you, what's it going to…
It all started with a tinkle on the ivories
Blue eyed boy
some say you’ve got it
The gift of the gab
The harmonious Tounge
That can sing a love song
With all the good intentions gone
Somewhere some blue eyed boy weeps all…
Song 10# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Wrote this today with my synthesizer, drum gadgets and keys. A bit dark, maybe for a movie about an assassination. This concludes my RPM for this year :) Thanks to anyone who has listened.
Into the light…
Track 1 of my Mulligan EP, recorded for the 2025 RPM Challenge. Inspired by my time working in betting shops, of all things. I used my Variax Standard for most of the guitar sounds, trying to get something like a Biffy Clyro type of sound.
Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I've experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is…
Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff

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!
This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember
Nice vocals! Somewhere between Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.
Good story behind the song! 32 years? It's as smooth as vintage wine.
Great track A, could easily hear it on a 'Family' L.P. in the '70s......
Beautiful track mate
Another AR touch of class Bravo!
Great voice, great song!
I stopped by for another listen this morning. I've seen a few tributes to Gene. It's nice to see that. It's been a little quiet around here since he's been gone.
I've liked just about every tune that I've heard of yours. Keep it up.
Wonderful song, impeccable vocal. most impressive Andrew.
Superb, Andrew!
Good voice, nice lyrics
I will miss his very specific and kind comments.
There's a whole bunch of talent here. x
Very touching tribute.

Yeah, digging these tracks. The drumming is very cool, especially noticed it on this one.
Oh yeah, love this one
Oh yes... digging this. Good opener!
A powerful set of songs, and a really good listen, well done.
Woah. Powerful stuff. Didn't need the meaning (or I didn't need it), I didn't get the details but I got the point - really moving.
Love the story behind the title - I've got songs like that too. One of the reasons I am SO MUCH of a one man band is because of bad experiences with bands. Cool song.
Powerful stuff
Rocking!
Oh yes.. And a mighty fine RPM guys... well done!
Oh yeah... nice
This one jumped out at me.
I'm having to look up words with this RPM! :)
Love the groove on this one. I can almost feel like I'm in the room while you guys are playing it.
WOAH! What an opener
Aw yes... love it. And it reminds me - I haven't finished listening to Lonely in the Park :/
Well done! You weren't sure you were going to finish when you started were you? Nice finish.
Cool sounds! Like it.
Mrs R loves it too (she was already gone to bed yesterday)
Is THIS why I didn't get her???? I was certain Santa had her wrapped up ready for me this time and then on the day it was just the usual stuff under the tree
It's a cool "stomp". We liked it (me and Mrs R) - does sound like you're having fun.
