I've posted this "Naked" version because Mrs Russe wanted me to... :-)
It wasn't "finished" in my mind - there was a certain amount of "orchestration" to come.
But I ended up liking the starkness of this version.
The original intention…
Here we go.
This one started out one morning several weeks ago when the sun was still shining...
If it's as wet and dark as it is here, just close your eyes, I'm sure you can imagine it if you try hard enough...
Lollies, chips, and beer…

Great writing and another tender vocal performance. I agree about the Naked version...BUT.....I Do here the orchestration you speak of going on and it should fit it well especially in a slow 3/4 tempo. Great work!

I wrote this thing in 1994. When I played it to some friends back then they went "yeah, but where's the rest of it?"
I've been struggling with that concept ever since. Then, a while ago, a couple of kindly souls removed that worry from me…

Very very cool instrumentation! I'm a sucker for water imagery as well, but love the references to current things (though James already said it). Awesome job.

Wrote this after hearing on the radio of a bloke who ran off to France with his underage girlfriend and guess what? he's doing time (asshole) Thanks to Lady Jane for backing vocals
Ooh yeah, nice one. Love the vibe...
Just been reading about Percy Bysshe Shelley (France, underage girlfriends)... and just now me and the missus were talking about the possibilities of flute (always makes me think of Ian Anderson when I consider flute)...
And then I hear this little beautie. Excellent.
I haven't mixed the song yet - it's really raw. Hopefully, I'll have it done by next month.
Lyrics/Music by Nick Plagakis
Am I a fool to love you
Am I a fool to trust you
You took my heart
And broke it apart
Now you come back
Looking…
Another excellent bit of music by Geas.........and we co wrote the lyrics..that surgens knife works wonders.........Thanks Geas
Sometimes (Lyrics)
Sometimes i hear a whisper
sometimes i hear a scream
sometimes i don’t know whats happening…
Actually this version really works. First time round I really missed drums and bass. But when the vocals are going it sounds like Reg and Les are utterly made for each other.
Well my friends life has been busy. Needed a break tonight and jumped in the car for a drive. One of those, don't know where your going just want to listen to music and relax kind of rides. Headed out and found myself on an old county road through…
All about my business I just closed down. 'The Strip Joint', got myself a real job, employed & being paid !!!!! Mind you, most likely I'll have the pants sued off me & I'll end up a bankrupt......That's life...........
You had a strip joint?!
And you closed the place down without inviting us all for a last (free) farewell party?
Shame... lol
Nice one. Love the groove.
t twenty, life was all planned out.
Did everything they said to do.
Stopped thinking for myself and turned my will over to you.
Ten years later, I was gone.
You'd stolen my identity.
I tried to pick the pieces up, but there was nothing left of…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Naked is good :)
Still loving it ........
Naked is nice ....loving the musical feel to it like something of fiddler on the roof ........beautiful vocal......
Lovely cheeky vocals atop an infectious groove - completley digging your lower register. Very saucy. :)
Lovely tune - be good to hear orchestration, but it stands as it is.
Nice one mate favd
Great writing and another tender vocal performance. I agree about the Naked version...BUT.....I Do here the orchestration you speak of going on and it should fit it well especially in a slow 3/4 tempo. Great work!
:)
Really cool mate, excellent groove.
/song
this progression is magic
Love The Lifeboat. You'd fit right in here in Texas.
Delicious! Love the groove! B x
excellent composition and mix. great growly vox.
Enjoyed your vocals ... lots of feel ... nice chord progression ... well done
Very nice track.
What a fabulous track! Also, heartfelt thanks, for you kind comment!
These lyrics are prize winning! Great work!
Very very cool instrumentation! I'm a sucker for water imagery as well, but love the references to current things (though James already said it). Awesome job.
Enjoying a Sunday scotch and this.

Cool version. Les coming along nicely - you'll have to raise your game soon to keep up with him.
Brilliant. In-yer-face sound from the start. Love the lyrics. Superb track.
How did I miss this? Love it.
Don't know the original, but I like this.
Oooh yeah, like this one a lot
Aha! Just noticed that you guys have appeared on here. Nice one.
Oh yeah, this is going to work.
Well that was a jolly little three minutes... Like it.
Well, that's a relief then...
Oh yes, nice collab.
Superb. Love the vocals - shiver down the spine stuff...

Sounds like he's taking over :)
Not sure I'd have liked the drive... liking the jam, though
Tasty version.

Wow!
Wonderful sounds.
Love what you guys are doing, looking forward to hearing more...
