Found this little chappie while I was preparing my latest original for loading.
It was a quick demo recorded on my Boss Micro BR sometime in October or so last year (2011) while I was working on Shine.
It was a sort of "blow the cobwebs out…
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
Well, here we go then...

**Cobwebs - A A J Russe**
Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...
Take off your underwear
Over…
New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

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…

This is a pretty intense listen for something written 25 years ago! You have a wonderful gift for making every word sound completely in the moment and real.

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"*
You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor.
Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.

I BUY GUITARS
Em
One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke
Am
Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars
Em
I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…
I have no memory of writing or recording this song. I have no idea what it's about.
CONNIE'S SONG
Em D C B...
(Em) Before I knew anything (D) about you, I (C) loved you
(Em) Whenever you would show, I stared in (D) wonder
I heard you…
Not sure if this one is worthy of the 6:00 running time as it's not nearly that much of a prog epic. I think I over did the padding (unintentionally). I could have cut the break in the middle considerably, and the solo at the end could be cut…
Love the 335 lead. I see what you mean about mixing, though. And the drone - that's a cute idea. I wasn't gonna listen now (VERY late, VERY drunk), but the description of the drone made me press play. Sounds cool, but I almost wanted more of it - I am drunk, though! That lead, wow, wanna switch a guitar on now... but... there's always tomorrow/today... and bed feels like a good idea.

WITHOUT THINKING
capo @ 3 in C
C I do things without E thinking
Am (walk down) I admit it's true
But I do C nothing without G thinking about C you
Am I turn a corner
Em I pump some gas
F I fold a pillow case
C I wash a G glass
I stand…
Oh yeahhhhhhhh... Of the three - Simone, the Paul and the Strat - I think I'd go for the Paul myself... if I wasn't so married it might be different :)
Oh yesss... I did miss this one when you posted it... Found it now, though. Love it. I can't get my missus to sing. I was sure she had a few "Hey Hey"s in her... Anyways... this is fab. DADGAD and the mix of voices floating over it.
actually a song i only wrote a few weeks ago rather than one from eons ago lol...
wanted to keep this recording as simple & raw as possible since i have a bad habit of over working/over editing stuff, so hopefully that shows somewhat…
Another new song

Where in the world did we go wrong
All the bad guys are coming on so strong
We're slowly losing all our rights
A quiet revolution overnight
Whenever you think that it's not right…
Did you know that if you use a drummer in GarageBand you can shut off the snare drum? I didn't. I setup the entire song with the drummer (Benny) and then copied the track to a standard MIDI drums track and deleted all the snare hits. Cool…
I came dangerously close to calling this ABACAB, and also to having the song form be ABACAB. Bullet dodged? I was noodling out the bass line and drum parts on my iPad and I had three sections. I couldn't decide which one had the better hook…
Dig this one too. First listen I was distracted by some work stuff... then a delivery... life, eh? Came back and hit play again and it's like old friend.
If ever there was a song that begged to close an album, it was this turkey.
A couple of things here. First, I don't really know what I was going for. Quiet, slow, boring? Probably not boring, but there you go. The cool thing happens in…

My song writing happy place is sort of slow to mid tempo dumb rockers. Something like 75-90 beats per minute. Every once in a while I feel the need to shake things up and write something super hyper active. This is an example of that. I also…
LOL - you always sell your stuff so well in your blurbs. I actually like the lead takes like this (that's assuming these are the sloppy ones and you didn't replace them!)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff

Very nice Andrew , must have been difficult to sing man , i think the length of the song suits the content and style , fab

Love it. What a vocal on this. You always connect the listener with the song. Another beauty added to the catalog.
Heart-felt springs to mind, love it

Mrs R is right . . . *"It's ready"* You have acomplished what many can not; Offer a complete thought in a succinct manor. Nice going Andrew! You make it sound easy.

Comments made by Andrew Russe
Oh this is WELL COOL. Giving Mrs R a tour of the MTBottles peeps. I haven't heard Mark Imsdahl for ages and ages ... so smooth.
Oops... just ordered another one....
Mrs R loves this one too :)

Still love this one. Pity I can't favourite it twice...
Yep... My name is Andrew, and I buy guitars
This one touches me.
There should be a "happily" somewhere in that last comment (in case she's reading... hehe)

Well that rocks
Nearly missed this one! Like it.
Yep, I'm with Greg, the groove on your stuff is one of the things that drags me in
Cool guitars
Dig this one too. First listen I was distracted by some work stuff... then a delivery... life, eh? Came back and hit play again and it's like old friend.
Loving the lead and the backwards guitars at the end. You might think you're over using it, but wow it's a mighty cool sound.
Liking this one a lot. Making me want to reach for the Robin Trower albums.
Nice one.

Wow. Not got anything more constructive to say than that... just... Wow... not sure how or why, but this works for me
