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.

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…

I was going to do another instrumental but heard a song at the start so changed direction and came up with this one...
Another day comes
Yesterdays youth seem miles away
As age creeps on day after day
Life isn’t what it used to be
And no…
Glad you changed direction - powerful song. Liking that insistent piano motif... during the instrumental (cool wah on the guitar!) I was suddenly aware of why I'd been feeling on edge all the way through... kind of focuses me on the lyrics. Cool.
A collab with Mike_S over from the otherside at songcrafters on his instrumental track King & Country which he kindly took the lead off for me to play with and i came up with this Thanks Mike
The people like ants looked up and they just…
"Treasure" is an alt rock song that i wrote.
Lyrics:
Dig it out
Leave it in
Seven inches underground
In the shade of crooked tree
I can't stand another night
Wrap it up in plain white
Lift me up then bring me down
I like having you…
This is a true story. Im pretty sure this guy still has a taxi job on the night shift in Denver.
Too long since I’ve posted a song. Most importantly, I got Norm to dust off the skins and record some percussion for me. Good to hear Norm and…

This was all written on the bass - I wanted to get an earthy 70s Rickenbacker bass vibe on this so naturally there's liberal splashes of Moog and Hammond Organ to accompany it.
It's kind of 'prog-lite' and again needs vocals. It's a working…
I managed to work on 16 songs for this year's 50/90 before I did something strummy in 6/8 time. I've started working on another 21 songs since and I've yet to do another one. That will likely change before today ends. Sorry, strummy songs in…
I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar.

FMGWABP
Great stuff.....
Aw that's ace. Nice one guys!

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.....

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.

Cool sounds
Oh yes. Digging the playing on this.
Love the feel of this. Then when I looked up and it was finished!

Love how this skips along. Nice chorus/hook. And that "Yeh, yeh, yeah..." before the middle 8 is just fabulous. Love it.
Oooh yeah, love it.
Woo. DIgging the lyrics.
Whoa! Yeah, that's kinda woken me up!
Cool sounds.
My A grade in O-level Russian (over 40 years ago! I'm getting old!) gets me as far as "Black City" ... but not much further... Mighty cool track.
Ooooh yeah... ROCKS. Love it. Love the lyrics.
Oh yeah... this washes over me nicely.
Kinda trippy. Love those guitars.
Like it. Relaxing at first, then kind of unsettling. Love the sounds.
Very cool sounds
Awww... second listen... it's gorgeous. Do some more!!! :)
Oh flip... YESS! Love it. Great to hear new stuff from you... and Norm too! Mighty cool. Love that guitar with the stereo delay.
Nearly missed this! Digging the bass sound...
6/8 is good :) ... cool set of songs in this batch. Keep going!!! :)
Oh yeah this one stands out big time. Love the build up. Love the space under the lead.
