Finally, at last... I've got something finished...
Been working on this for a few weeks.
A bit of a rocker... (and an aging lecherous one at that)
I got it as close as I could and then mixed it loud... I've over-cooked it slightly - but…
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…

That's six days and 22 hours longer than most of mine but then it does show yours are much classier love that guitar and the vocals as good as ever ... Great lyrics too

I have been smiling for 4 minutes. My face hurts. This is such a rocker! I cant even pick my favorite line, but I think you said bag of trees and if so, that's it. Just great!

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…
I feel like I just got back from Narnia! Seriously though, the bass guitar is so cool and perfect in this song. I would want to turn this up loud on a wardrobe sized speaker!

Thanks for the encouraging comments and for letting me hear this song!! Wow! Such a great concept and hook. Imagery, vocals, production. Stuck in my head for the foreseeable future although, many of your other songs await!
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…

Ya know, online collaborating is the greatest thing going since the trans-Atlantic cable.
The next best thing at least to actually being there.
ORH on the lead vocal and synth strings. Hoop on electric guitars, bass, robo drums, backing…
Woo... it looks like I've missed loads of classics of yours Jim...
It also looks like I need a "Aww F*** it... just Fave em all" button, you're wearing me out having to keep moving me mouse around lol

sort of alice in wonderland or maybe you might read something else from it. that's up to you.
They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones

Missed this one. Tis mighty fine, mighty fine.
Paints big pictures. My only complaint is that it went away too abruptly for my liking - that 4 minutes went by very quickly
got a new ukelele still trying to tame it.
recorded 3 tracks of uke and one of vox on micro br using onboard mic, still trying to tame the onboard mic.

Not sure where I was going with this, but it ended up quite dreary for what I thought were quite motivating lyrics.
Watch this space, it may well appear again with more upbeat music.
Lyrics:
I choose the light to drive away the darkness
Choose…
I see what you mean about the motivating lyrics and how it ended up. But it really works like this. And like others have said, the harmony vocals are fabulous.
A world of corridors corporate finance
There's a party somewhere, I'm not invited so I don't care
It's the law of the jungle the mantra they chant
Alpha males and their sycophants
And you've got a date with a stranger who flirts with danger…

The End of Love (Lyrics)
She said she was a dreamer
So why did she lie
She told me she loved me
I had to ask her why
She couldn't look me
straight in…
The first song I wrote, and yes Fran nicked it !!! It's about the nightmares she was having,which was keeping me awake at night. Same old dream about her childhood & her mother,say no more !!
Fine song. And really the first one you wrote?
Wish I could get my missus to go near a microphone... I've got her as far as wearing headphones in the studio and passing comment on what's happening... but I can't get her to contribute any noises (apart from turning on the washing-machine when I'm trying to record a vocal!)
Lyrics:
You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame
I’m just a pawn in your little game
I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…

Not sure whether I should really find "break up music" so restful (not the break ups I've been through anyway!) - but I did this. Wonderful feel to it. Enjoyed it a lot.
I find this one is the most accessible of the ones I've listened to. I really shouldn't like this stuff, but I find it strangely appealling - I'll be back to give some more of it a go. :-)
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd
i dream of being loved again
to hold and not let go
i’ve been waiting for a long time
to try and…

The instrumental on its own didn't grab me (sorry MTC! It was mighty fine but it didn't move me). But this... wow, not only does it work like this - very well - it makes sense of the original instrumental for me.
Fine FINE work chaps.
Still like it :-)
Faved this one as well. It's got a bigger, wider feel. I think it's the same lead vocal track? If not it's still got popping on it - do you use a pop-shield?
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Excellent great job
Killer!!!!!!!!!!
The hardest thing to do I think is to write great rock songs. You have many my friend, real nice, and he sings too!
wow, how do you think of this stuff?...terrific!
real nice guitars sound yeah a little like gibbons etc...but who cares when it's this good
Oops, looks like I'm making comments again without logging in Greg
I just played your latest song for the little Mrs. Now you are a family attraction!
It's all about the money/honey ;)
Rocks!!!
Oh yeah!
Oh, that's sweet! I love it!
Now that's rock n roll!
Nice tune...
That's six days and 22 hours longer than most of mine but then it does show yours are much classier love that guitar and the vocals as good as ever ... Great lyrics too
Real pro track Andrew. The mix is awesome.

I like the soul in the vocals here; nice bluesy crooning.
Nice imagery / Story telling.

Wonderful stuff. The voice and guitars sound like they came into the world together - excellent collaboration

Glad I found the legendary uke tracks :-) Listening to them all now, this one is my favourite so far.
Nice one :) You've got a cool "70s" rock/pop combo going there.
I see what you mean about the motivating lyrics and how it ended up. But it really works like this. And like others have said, the harmony vocals are fabulous.
Compelling tale and wonderful backing for it.
This thetworegs/Billy jack pairing works really well. Love the riff in the verses on this one.
Oh wow - love it! Just found you off someone else's list of recent favourites... Faved and followed immediately! :-)
This is fab... Excellent vocal, and I love the guitars

Yep, I can see Alvin Stardust doing it too...
I can't believe I didn't fave this last time I listened to it. Fixed!
I like this a lot. I love the descending banjo into the chorus.

Wow. I didn't understand it at all... But I did kinda like it - you had me listening all the way through. Gonna check out some more.
I missed this, how did I miss it? Fabulous!
