This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…

Hi Andrews! Pleased to meet you here on this wonderful site, and thanks for the kind words on my tracks earlier this week.
I really like this song! A great story, and so richly delivered. I look forward to listening to more of your music!

Just posted a remix of this one - I was never happy with the old one and couldn't figure out why...
I finally did yesterday - the vocals were mixed too loud!
So I lowered the vox and took some bottom end off the band (thanx Stoman - You were right!)
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D
Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :)
The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.

Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.

Didn't want to write this song … I figured there were one-thousand songwriters (here in north Texas alone) that were stuck at home and writing goofy songs about the virus. But, it wouldn't leave me alone, so I recorded it to get it out of my head.
Black is white
White is black
I crossed the line
I can’t go back
It all comes together
It all falls apart
I’m on the edge
From the start
I’ve gone Colour Blind
To her signs, Colour Blind
Tears on your face
A broken heart
Unkind…
We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…
I’ve been trailing yarn for days,
Ahead of what may come, dismay.
Soot, and ash, and bone-
Gnarled and undone.
I’ve been railing stone for change,
Two cents - task on the brain.
Root, and clothes, and thrones-
Ravaged and unloved…
Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face's not dead.
And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.
Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang…
The trees are shaking, from your insolence.
They stagger, choking, their breath on the wind.
It makes me question, it makes me recant.
Where have we been, and where have we gone.
When's the point when we say all is lost.
Is lost.
Swimming…
I,
Like the Tide,
Have been breathing with the moon overhead,
While the world lay all silent in stead.
The rocks peaking out on the bed,
The anchors all out in the dredge.
My eyes,
See too slight,
With a heavy brow, I look towards the…
I see in color,
Even when, the words, black and white
I hear in flutters,
Even when, the words come in trite.
After all,
I'm tied to this anchor.
I'm tied to this hull.
Tied to this deck, through the night.
I better get to climbing…
My spirit's been running wild
Chasing cats, and howling at the moon
I've felt this way for awhile dear
Yeah someday, I'm gonna marry you.
So go put on your firey cap,
Be my anchor and my mast.
If I ever feel lost at sea,
I'll just remember…
A brand new song....
Don't listen to the man
You know who!
Since we can't play together because of the lockdown we all played our parts at home.
Hans Nooitgedagt Jr - drums
Bingsolex - guitars
Erwin B - bass
KC - vocals, guitars, keys…
wow I haven't uploaded on here in 2 years....
this is a remake I did last year of a song I did in 2015...
Still not perfect & I might redo it again but hey ho...
Wow... this one's intense. Love how you were reaching for stuff here... I can see the progression from the earlier version which was almost TOO intense for us!! lol
soooooooo this is an acoustic-y (technical term) song about something... reevaluating the lyrics suggests possibly a murder? (tho idk it can mean anything tbh)...
i wrote this song today and then recorded it today and then was like wooaah why…
I was listening to your stuff late last night, early this morning... wotever... Playing it to Mrs R now... she hears the same thing as me... You have an AMAZING voice... do some more - PLEASE! :)
Keyboards (bagpipes) performed by Starry Nightmoth. Lead guitar by George Harrison. Vocals and all other instruments performed by Gene Eric Mann. Thunder and rain by Mother Nature. Lyrics by John Lennon.
so.... i first wrote & recorded this song in 2015, and then did a new version in 2017, and here's my updated 2020 version...
still not totally happy with it but... here we are anyway lol...
A new song that I wrote last week
This lockdown starts to work on my nerves
KC
Caught in a lockdown – And there's no way out
It drives me crazy – Wanna shout out loud
Caught in a lockdown – The days all look the same
I'm losing track…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
awesome cover!!! One of my favorite songs. Beautiful harmony
Hi Andrews! Pleased to meet you here on this wonderful site, and thanks for the kind words on my tracks earlier this week. I really like this song! A great story, and so richly delivered. I look forward to listening to more of your music!
Oh, yes, the new version sounds even better. The bass still sticks out a little on some notes, but overall it sounds great.
Just posted a remix of this one - I was never happy with the old one and couldn't figure out why... I finally did yesterday - the vocals were mixed too loud! So I lowered the vox and took some bottom end off the band (thanx Stoman - You were right!)
This one really tickled me. Great job!
The more I listen to this the more I like it.
Still love this classic of yours
Great stuff Angus love it!
The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :) The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.
excellent blending of instruments, voice and sounds/textures. Good drums too.
Love this. So much drama. Great contrasts.
Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.
Great keys mate nice track and thanks for your comment
Very interesting story. Your music catches the mystery of it.
As usual your work shines. Keep on keepin' on.
Damn! That is one fine piece of work! Love all the different layers that are going on
Nice one - great sounds here.
Wow . . . this one raised the standard. Nice job Andrew.
Wow, truly EPIC! amazing vocals! I like the summary of what inspired it too.
Progtastic!!!

This put a smile on my face.
Like it.
Rocking! :)
Yep. Hope you're keeping well.
Wow
Another goodie.
Awww. This is stunning. Sorry I missed these songs.
Yep :)
Over five years late to this... sorry. Love it though.
Nice one.
Wow... this one's intense. Love how you were reaching for stuff here... I can see the progression from the earlier version which was almost TOO intense for us!! lol
We're liking the two voice thing.
We really like this one.
I was listening to your stuff late last night, early this morning... wotever... Playing it to Mrs R now... she hears the same thing as me... You have an AMAZING voice... do some more - PLEASE! :)
Still miss you Gene
I like all three versions. This is the one that pulled me in.
Liking your stuff.
Very interesting... just searched Sonic Pi... VERY interesting.
Like it! Getting a laid back Tom Petty vibe.
Cool! I'm intrigued to know what else you're going to do on these tracks once the world has returned to normal and you've got access to more kit.
