At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…
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…
I wrote this little ditty back in May, did an acoustic demo and then played it to one or two people. I always meant to do something a bit more, er, "expansive" with the thing... So I stuck it in the corner for a bit and forgot about it.

I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…

This one is all gimmick but I like it. I think it has album track one potential, but I'm not sure yet.
The last few projects I've done have seen me writing melodies out on a keyboard, then writing lyrics to fit the melody, then recording the…
The notes about the chorus made me laugh. Yes - I tried singing along, I couldn't even manage the two halves! I'd have given up and used two tracks, two voices, singing alternate lines. That would work - even if you make it obvious it would still work for the listener. And it's an excellent melody.

A couple of notes: First, I am so tired as I finish up this mix that I have no idea if this sounds good or not. Second, I am not sure if I like this song or not, but I am kinda leaning toward liking it. Third, I am pretty sure I already wrote…
This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…
A new song
Hans Nooitgedagt Sr - lead guitar

I turned on my TV
And I watched the news
A virus on a killing spree
It just gave me the blues
Watching my TV
Couldn't believe what I did see
The president…
Classic jazz was my father’s choice at home ,us kids knew all the greatest horn players . This is for Dad .
Les Paul gold top with p -90 ‘s. Fender jazz bass .
When you talk about me you always put
Me down
You always say I’d be better off
Under ground
You were really holding back tonight
Alright
You offered me a second shot
But why?
It Doesn’t matter what I say
It Doesn’t matter what I…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
I hope you’re the right one for me, you see
Time is ticking, I’ve been thinking
This can’t be forever you see, for me
It’s been so long and I’ve been strong
But too many things have happened
I need a change
I hope you’re understanding…
Please let me in, baby Let me in, let Me in, Baby let me in
I’m looking up your number now
Hoping to hook up somehow
When you hear me ring?
Please let me in
Baby let me in, let me in, Baby, let me in
I’m knocking on your door right…
We’ve been down that road
So many times, before
I know it isn’t easy
For you to let it go
We both agreed, to take things slowly
But when we take off, watch us go
Take me now, I just feel, like letting go
Take me right now, I’m letting…
You can look forever
For your happy home
But you won’t find it
No matter where you roam
You need some direction
You can count on me
And I’ll be your fool
Every time you’re feeling
You have lost your way
You come to me
And pretend…
I have NO idea what you're singing about... :-) but I'm loving your daily songs and find myself waiting for them to appear. Just played this one to Mrs R - she likes it too.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Great stuff.....
Aw that's ace. Nice one guys!
And a very nice broom cupboard it is too... still think we should have done some AC/DC :P
Really like this 'ballad with a cutting edge' Angus...great track! Dave B
Still love this song....
Great song, great vocals!
This deserves another WOOF!
Andrew..... if you keep this up ..... I'm gonna give song writing... Amazing man.....
Like!
Great stuff Mr Russe!
Completely full of soul! w;-)
I am not now afraid to go naked, 5comets from here. loved the female backup voicings
Whoop! Much awesomeness here... love it! I couldn't help but sing harmonies to the 'She says' bit :)
Love the SOUL you put into this vocal! Great job!
Very well done. Especially like the vocals. The drums sound great as well.
Well done.
Ooh I like when the band jumps in full force. Nice punchy mix. That is a nice throw back riff and solo at the outro.
Smooth yet lightly grungy, like hot sauce on egg salad -- delicious! Rock on!
FMGWABP!
Nice and tight. Very clean recording. Well done Andrew. It would be fun to hear the acoustic version.

Nearly missed this one. Glad I didn't, it's mighty cool.
Oh yes. Liking this. Loving the guitars.
And this. Yes.
I haven't been keeping up - yep, good one.
Well that works for me. Nice one. I'm a sucker for a falling bass line.
Nice one. Digging that guitar.
Oh, this is SO cool - really glad you found it.
Rockin :)
Cool track, nice one.
Awww... sweet and tasty.
I'm right in thinking these earlier posted tracks are the later recorded ones? Slightly different feel - loving them all.
There's some superb vocals on these tracks.
Ooo, here's a different feel. Nice one.
Yep, you've got that 60s-70s pop-rock vibe that I love.
Loving the feel you guys are getting.
It sounds to me like you guys have got more than one lead vocalist?
Oh yes, cool sounds :)

Oh yes. A mightily cool tune. I close my eyes and can taste it. Nice one.
