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…
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.

Possibly the last one for this years RPM
The Only thing I feel
The wind blew against the window and brought the morning I
Sunlight hit the curtain and I’m sure it trying to break on through
My senses woke to the smell of tobbaco…
I was having a new gear day I received a new pedal for my Bass only £23 so I was playing with it with my eventide H9 and mojo mojo pedal and the tracks developed into this...corruption
Hope you enjoy
Another RPM
Reg starts to worry that he's forgetting his loved ones that have passed
Your memory fades
I can’t see your face no more in my mind
With my eyes closed your image starts to fade
I forgot your vioce how it…
Another for the RPM
Reg starts to thinking about things...
Why did God give us thought?
Everyones afraid of the darkness
close your eyes you dissapear
Suddenly you are nothing but a voice
Syllables of sound a constant…
Another RPM
Reg is dreaming of summer ....
Tangerine
I’m lost in myself on this cold Febuary morning
Walking the dogs trying to smiling inside
But my heart feels sad its yearning for the sunshine
Where everything…
Another RPM
Things are looking up for Reg I mean its nearly spring
Spring
I think I hear a whisper
I think I hear the whisper
Of spring
its on its way
I can see the snow drops starting to climb back into the world…
Another RPM
Reg is looking back on his childhood.
Mama says i can't play with you no more
I don’t know how I’m gonna tell you
But mama says I can’t play with you no more
Your not like all the other boys
I can’t play with you no…
Lessons not, quickly forgotten.
Stable eye, upbuild downtrodden.
Troubled times, lay down often.
Catch the sky, once in a while.
No longer a sound.
Lack of presence feelin' down.
Nothing to put my arms around.
Emptiness is not profound…
I saw her mother
Just the other day
She didn’t know me
So I froze on what to say
When she was happy
Nothing made her frown
Danced so much
They even gave her a crown
She was , she was royalty
Really wish that she remembered me
She…
What's your angle?
Why, you want everything for free?
Is it your ego,
or how you want the world to be?
Chase your desire,
But your blind to the cost.
Grab at the surface.
Your ideology is lost.
You can't have it all!
This is the price…
Push & pull,
Left & right,
Up & down,
Don't forget your dog's in this fight.
Courage!
Might!
All so hard to see in this light.
Couldn’t put it any other way,
Hands up in the air as if they’re trynna say,
Will I ever be…
One last cup of coffee
Before I hit the road
Where I’m going
You only know
Don’t forget me
Once i’m sold
Breaking down slowly
I suppose so
I’m beaten up
But I’ve grown up
Beaten up
Grow up
You’ll make someone happy
For a year…
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
I wait, I wait,
For you now.
Now that you're ahead I wonder,
Will you turn and wait for me?
I wonder.
If I lost direction,
Would the favor return for free?
I wonder.
Hit the brakes, hit the brakes!
Wait…
I guess it's really gonna be farewell,
For as far as I can tell,
Once upon a time story sounds so swell,
the kind of story that we would tell,
We tell the children that it's all, alright,
Nursery rhymes to get through the night,
Hush little…
I saw you walk right by me without a second glance.
I heard you talking right behind my ‘ugly’ back.
Who knew that we could turn from friends to strangers so so fast,
I thought that this was just the end.
I always argued it was your fault…

Looks like the clouds
Are being blown away
Looks like the sky

And i wanna know

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
"And when you wonder..." gets me every time.
There's magic in your words...
This is absolutely brilliant, Andy.
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.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Especially the rhythm guitars on the choruses - those choruses really pop and bounce, must have been fun to play.
Nice one. Love those guitars. Cool track.
Oh yes.... A fine set of songs
LOVE THIS
Reg has been thinking the same sh!t I have!!! Omigod... I'm not Reg am I? Cool track
This drives along... nice one. My advice to Reg is to learn not to think - it's what most of they "Normals" do...
The sun is shining here. Sadly it means I probably ought to attempt the 1st lawn cut... but there is SO much cat poo...
I'm listening to this 3 weeks later.... and it's MUCH more springlike now... as long as you don't turn the radio or tv on :-/
Woah... I get the reference/influence... but this takes the idea a whole different place for me. Shivers down the back of my neck (and some memories)
Woah... superb ending. A mighty cool set of tracks guys. Well done.
I knew a girl like this... or is it more that I was like you? Guess we'll never really know! LOL (I certainly don't want to find out now!)
"this is kind of a banger.. *cowbell" LOL Mighty cool track!
Woah yeah.
Oh wow - that instrumental is perfect in an already cool track... I was about to type "cool riff" and the instrumental took off and took me with it.
Digging these songs.
Yeah, nice one. Like the imagery.
Good opener!
Another superb set of songs, as ever :)
Another goodie. Love the languid vocal on the verses... just sucks you in.
Love that chorus. The verses are pretty darn cool too... and I love how you used a truncated verse one as a middle eight.
