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…
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…
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…

Gene has woven his magic again around the music for this cover by Boston...and also done a hell of job on the mix too..Thanks Gene for letting me play....hope you enjoy
A song for all the rainbow people; musicians, artists and healers, to name but a few.
A true collaboration for Jip and Lady Jane as they meet up for the first time in 32 years and, together with Mike and his witty one liners, come up with this…

Literally hot off the press, this is how my life is going right now.
(c)2012 T.A.Beckett
I used to work in an office.
White collar job just the same.
Order this and order that.
Put the Devil to shame.
Then one day the boss man
Asked me to change…
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
It's not the easiest thing
but, what's a gal to do
I've been so good
I might even be a southern baptist
I must admit
I love fallen in love with you
I don't care that I'm just in the air
and another…
Stripped this down to perform during my acoustic live sets.
The Devil's March (unplugged)I see, your red mist rising now...A storm...That ruins all around...The road...That Hell is marching down....The demon seed is walking proud.....And…
The cupboards, of this old house
Don't close like they used to
And your mother, is just as old now
Wouldn't you say
The lanterns, you hung in your teeth when you were young,
Still light up the room
Yeah it's true,
If anything is true
I wish…
I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
lol - the bass was an organ set to "hammer house of horrors", perhaps I overdid it! (The reverb on the vox is deliberately "chilly" as well)
I wanted stark and lonely in the verses. But I also wanted comfort in the choruses - which is what the other instrumentation was intended to bring... but I've given up on that idea... it now sounds to me like the singer is incapable of bringing the comfort he offers, and he knows it... so I'll leave it them both to it :)
And nope, I didn't steal the teddy bear... But mine were removed from me and given to my sister when I was about 8 years old... so I do know exactly what I'm talking about lol
I saw "the Watchmen"....got me thinking.
are we truly immortal?
will we live through the material passing
or have we died oh so close to the light
not from this earth
not bound by its laws
A slave of no one
I will move beyond

Continuing my obsession with the Buzzcocks Spiral Scratch EP, this is a medley of the four songs made using an Android ap called Chordbot.
There's two versions, this one and the one next to it here. And some guitar played over with the melody…
Oh this one! Without a doubt :)
Listened to all four tracks as well. Nice one. I loathed the Buzzcocks in the late 70s, but I came to appreciate them a lot more later.
I think this needs a guitar solo but i'm not capable of doing it so if anyone would like to give it a go i would love to hear what you could come up with its in C. Otherwise i'm quite happy with it...now with a solo by Billy Jack
Please Don…
I just bought a new Gibson SG Standard guitar with P90 pickups. I bought it after listening to Steve Krell's Gibson Gold Top with P90's.
Here is my first recording with the guitar.
Lyrics:
Sitting in my living room
Sunlight will be fading…
Having another listen for that guitar sound :)
Funnily enough, my SG and Explorer have swapped pickups (wonder if this had anything to do with it?). The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.

I'm reaching that conclusion too :)
If I'd held it back and put the parts on that I was rehearsing that day it would have been fine... and possibly better...
But I was trying them out today, and they seem surplus to requirements now!
(Mrs R has got her way lol)
some mistakes, like playing live, but i make them right quicky. the song is for halloween and make of the lyrics what you will.
the drums have phaze on them. some of the soft guitars have phaze and flange. the beginning 2 1/2 mins are slow…
:)
It's the rock part in the middle that grabs me most - love your vocal in that section, almost fluid and liquid.
I like how the whole things hangs together. Just waiting for that weird ending now.... ah here tis...
oh yes, very cool ending!
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
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!
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.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Oh yeah. Cool geetars.
Nice one
Aha! Love it :)
Rockin stuff.
Absolutely KILLER! Love the harp and those vocals. What a track.
Woo... like this one a lot, straight from the off. There's some fab guitar going on. Love the solo.
Love it :)
Not sure I've heard the unstripped version - have to go hunting. Like this one though :)
And this too... love the harmonies.
Yep :)
Wonderful.

This is a little bit special.

Woo yeah. This un's a goodie. And a real stand-out Reg vocal on here. Superb.

Nice one. Heartfelt stuff.
