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…

This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
This song has been sat on the marvellous mechanical mouse organ in the broom-cupboard for well over a year.
A few weeks ago I got a bit of a scare - the mouse organ nearly broke down (in the middle of sorting out Delta Dawn). While I was fixing…

I dig the classic flavor of this one. Some choice bass runs. Groovy lyrics. Great vocal delivery. Superb mix-down skills. Thanks for checking out "niaR" on my Gene Eric Mann profile. Hear it as "Rain" on my Nightmoth profile. Rock on!
Pop-rock tale about a character in a novel that I fancied. Recorded in 2009 on a Boss MBR.

Waiting for the story to unfold…
I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.
Well Reg got to thinking about his Hippie past and that its nearly time to go mushroom picking again before that first frost............i had nothing to do with it by the way....i'm innocent your honor ......Honest "Guv"....
Picking the Shroom…
Well if it was a dream Reg would have met his wife on the Dance floor but as it was'nt he met her at the Bar ...of course.....and if Reg was a musician instead of a singer it may have been in time too......

For disappointment…
Oh yeah, love the groove and space on this.
One of my favourites of yours. It starts driving and just keeps pounding. Great instrumental outro...

I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…
Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
Yeah :)
Like lots.
Love jip's guitar signature on this, so smooothh. And I can hear the sun setting outside the tent, and the pillows, lots of pillows.
Er... or is it an entirely different sort of love? (Why have we only got one word in English??!)
Love it. "Lyrically challenged"? Pah! needs no more for this listener :)
Had written this one many years ago. I had it recorded originally in a different key and with different instrumentation but it I just was not happy with it. I deleted the original lyrics for the chorus and added a bridge section and lyrics. I…
Woo... not heard this before. It's wonderful. I don't want any backing on it at all, I want it like this...
If you do end up with a backing - and I'm sure it'll be yum - but pleeze do not take this one down :)
you know they say you have to write some rubbish before the good stuff comes out?... Entirely Garageband, not a live instrument on it but it was clogging my head up.
So are you saying this is part of the rubbish or the good stuff? lol
Sounds good to me. Love the chords and harmony. And then the bass line in the middle eight... I'm always a sucker for a falling bass line.
Woo... I heard the original, but hadn't noticed that the search for the lyrics had been successful - must have been asleep or something at the time...
Like it :)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
really good track...production, vocals all top notch!
This is really good stuff. Songwriting firmly placed in late 70's art rock/pop, which is a very good place to be, if you ask me. Contemporary, skilled production makes for a tasty sound palette and a very enjoyable listening experience. Bravo!
...always a tremendous amount of care and effort put into your music. Like it.

"You don’t ever get to touch the dancing girl"

About time too! Wonderful, as always :) *Kicks own ass into gear*
Good un' :)
*When she leaves to get undressed We’ll just imagine where she’s gone* Just brilliant.
Really like this mate. Great lyrics
Reminds me a bit of classic rock Bowie. Really cool!

One of my extra-faves. This is a topnotch, toe-tapping slice of...oh nooooesss!!!!! Over too soon!!!!
Loving your blues vibe - sounds like the real you.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Big sound! And it really does dance. Nice one
I nearly missed this too! Superb.
Lovin the slide sound you get.
Very groovy, and slightly disturbing, as usual... lol
Oh this is brilliant... nearly missed it!
Brilliant... I've known guys who actually operated this way... how the hell it worked I'll never know...
Oh wonderful... still, that's what I expected lol But you didn't disappoint. I love the effect on the last verse. Nice one guys :)
Oh yeah, love the groove and space on this. One of my favourites of yours. It starts driving and just keeps pounding. Great instrumental outro... Mine's a vodka martini, don't forget the olives...
Another classic... (I mean this version, not just the song!)
Oh yes, a nice bit of boogie... And I'm with slkrell on the "from state of misery" hook.
Love the guitars and arrangement. Big and inventive sounds. And some mean leads in the instrumental.
Didn't think I was gonna like this... but woo, it's a mighty fine version.
Speechless... No idea why, but I love it lol A crazy and wonderful creation.
A new one! Well, an old new one, then... who cares? I was waiting for one anyway :) Good to hear. Nice one.
Yeah, like :) Lovely set of words. Fine song.
Yeah :) Like lots. Love jip's guitar signature on this, so smooothh. And I can hear the sun setting outside the tent, and the pillows, lots of pillows.
