I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew!

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.

Ahhhh....good to see u back in the forum! Love the light touch and well placed notes. Soulful and thoughtful lyrics. Many listens and likes for this gem.

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

"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.

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.

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
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.
Think you are one of the most unique artists I've come across on Alonetone. I appreciate your encouragement. Best of luck. H Music
Lovely chord sequences, tender stuff. Nice.
Unbelievable quality yet again, can't seem to get this out of my head for the past couple of days...and that's a very good thing!
Dynamic. Top stuff once again.
Oh yes Andrew, that's the Bees Knees, to my ear's a No. 1 for Joe Cocker
Rockin' good
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose - surely one of the greatest lines every written, great version.
This is my favourite ever AR track. Your vocal is amazing, and the song-writing, superb. -Tess
Obviously brilliant. -Tess
Yes,yes, yes, Soul is alive Andrew. Ill download and play this one for Cindy and Sierra.
Great chord changes and build ups. Well done Andrew! ________________________________________ I had to go look up the word *"Dirge"*. I like hanging out with people who are smarter than me.
A magical voice, that draws you in & fills your soul. Love this track. w;-)
Another soulful, fabulous vocal ! Another fabulous track! w;-)

What a soulful vocal! Excellent track! w;-)
What a universal little scene. Well told. Every little boy has to deal with that uncertainty. Will she? Sad it never changes for so many of us.
Pensive, maybe. But not dirgy. Just a little more voice in the mix please.

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