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…

Another one of my lil ditties that I started writing at the bowling alley. First game I bowled a 204 the rest of the evenin the games were less exciting. Get me high, then strike a blow

Here's a new one, heard a saying on an advert, 'your home isn't a home unless... ' Out popped this, right let's see what you've all been up to lately, had a few days off. Catch up time.
A song for whoever likes it. Erm, and it's not really what this life is all about - but don't ask me what it is about, or even why you want to know what it's all about....erm...rambling now.
Well I likes it :)
(Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…
I am blind but I read you like I´m reading braille
I´m half drunk but what is rushing through my veins
Isn´t caffeine or alcohol though the kick feels much the same
Blind, half drunk I stumble but I’ll get up and try again
I must have said a…
Oh yeah! :)
You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
w/m
oldrottenhead
On Norwegian shores
Neath the autumn sky
Sitting by the water’s edge
Counting bees and flies
I’ll soon be going home again
I’ll be saying goodbye to my friends
On Norwegian shores
The sunlight bright
See a million stars
When…

@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol
(He seems to have put on a bit more weight than I imagined, though...)
As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing.
But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
I am slowly coming to the realization that I am sacred.
I trust you do as well.
It was so easy to be bitter
To hate the life I was born into
And I almost lost myself in this fight
Cutting what was so sacred
I could not see beyond…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff

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.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Wonderful crazy stuff.
Faved from the outset. Love the vocals. Fabulous tale in the lyrics. Brilliant. Looking forward to the update.
Oh yeah... killer, soulful... and wonderful :)
I love the "Is that it? Is that your perfect plan?" Someone needs to say this to me sometimes... she probably does... and I don't notice! lol
Looking forward to the "Cornflakes" song now :)
Yeah, love how it skips along. Nice one guys.
ROCKIN!! Those drums have got me in hysterics.
Well I likes it :) (Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)
Wooo... love the harmonies.
Nice one.
Oh yeah, this takes me back :) Nice version guys
Oh yeah! :) You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
Woo! a choir. Nice one
Yep, good to see this on here.
Wow - this is wonderful.
@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol (He seems to have put on a bit more weight than I imagined, though...)
Gorgeous playing. The song's never really moved me as much as other things do, but this version is beautiful.
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing. But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
Yep sirree... Don't need to mess with it for my money. Instant fave.
Yep, this is a bit special
