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…

Song 2 for RPM 2025 (I actually wrote this one first). Dusted off my electric guitar for this one (yeah, maybe I should practice more).
My heart is falling for you
Your heart, is longing to be free
And my days are very numbered
And you…
Excitement is one of ten songs on my new album "Treasures". The album covers a list of 10 words describing different characteristics of ENJOYMENT. The words are:
Love, Joy, Happiness, Relief, Contentment, Amusement, Pride, Excitement, Satisfaction…
First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Woah! Very dark. I was wondering whether you'd be doing RPM. I talked myself into doing FAWM again this and I'm now thinking "why did I do it?!?!?!" ... determined to finish but struggling at the moment! GOOD LUCK - there's at least one person waiting for the next one from you :)
music ,mixing and mastering , vocals /b,v/ guitar , lead gtr , bass , / keyboards used for brass and strings , played by myself , song written by myself ,...hope you like it thank you for your time .......cheers tony cee
Oh yeah, nice songwriting and arranging. Love it. Followed.... I've been very dormant on here for the last few years but I've seen your comments during that time - MANY thanks for those. I'm right in middle/start of the "write 14 songs in February" thing now... when I've got on top of that I'll start doing some serious listening.
Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!!
ODE to the LAST LEAF
VERSE 1
This season is ending
Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf
Let go and be free
Free…
Just noticed I hadn't actually sent the comment I was typing when I listened the other day!!
Anyway, loved this :)
Had no idea I was about to start posting again myself!
Its been a while since I jammed with Norm so i've used his mile of sorrow and turned it into a Christmas song........Merry Christmas Norm .....
Christmas
it is here
Christmas
everywhere
On a moonlight drive with the midnight sun

A little more rock and roll than my normal mellow vibe. I might play around with this some more, but for now, it is what is :)
Guitar, bass, bodhran, vocals, and a casio keyboard drumkit.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day . . . . And with any luck we might have a bonus "LIVE" Leprechaun track coming soon. The Minnesota Coffee table met and recorded a fun version last night.

Based on a riff brought back to life after many years, and remembrance of a childhood fever dream. Wrap this in the context of the past two years and this is the musical result.
Sometimes life knocks you down and decides to kick a few times for good measure. It can be hard to push though at times, but it’s important to persevere because it can and will get better. This is a song about staying strong and remaining hopeful…
Since venturing beyond twenty atmospheres, our intrepid explorers were assumed lost forever. Never underestimate the human spirit and instinct for survival, especially when it’s fueled by a defiant shanty.
I’ll never understand those who are famous for being famous, and I honestly don’t care to. Unqualified influencers and fake internet gurus, this one's for you.
Faved in the first 20 seconds... I had read the blurb by then, YESSS, so I probably would have faved it no matter what it sounded like!!! lol ... It sounds cool too, so phew!
This song was written and recorded on Garageband during the month of February, 2022 as my submission to the RPM Challenge. It's a rough draft that I'll continue to work on in the future. Please forgive the recording quality...(I'm still learning…
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...

Real pro track Andrew. The mix is awesome.

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

Oh yeah, like it.
Nice one. And yes, very cool concept for an album, I'll check it out.

Cool! "Dark Arts", eh? LOL I'm coming back out of my long sleep - I'll do some more listening soon :)

Yeah! merry merry merry Christmas :)
Merry Christmas! :)
Woah! Wasn't expecting that! But yeah - play around with it some more. It's got a cool vibe.
Wow! I wanted to get away but I couldn't! That's really powerful... OK, now I need to go listen to 2112 as an antidote!
You'll be needing some of the black stuff with that one :)
Assuming it is hopeful! That's how I'm hearing/feeling it :)
Cool song. I like the imagery and the hopeful end to the verses.
Love it. This whole set (Abyss) is pretty inspiring - the ideas holding it together, the arrangements and recording, nice one.
Yessss. Utterly brilliant.
Oh yeah. Love it.
Faved in the first 20 seconds... I had read the blurb by then, YESSS, so I probably would have faved it no matter what it sounded like!!! lol ... It sounds cool too, so phew!
That's a gorgeous song.
Yeah, why not :)
Nice one.
