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'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…

#RPM Challenge 2013#
Oh it caught me by surprise
I Looked into your pretty eyes
Nothing more than a simple kiss
And a moment like this
We don’t need no fancy cars
Diamond Rings that shine like stars
You never really asked for more
Than moments…

A song that I wrote in the mid-90s, became a bigger number when my band 'Y' took it into the studio and we tightened it up a notch. Proud of this one (as of all of my babies) G:)
The story is of the actor on the stage...
A story of conflict between a couple. I played the part of the male, Shelagh (I think) was herself. Came together in the studio and was a favourite live.
Here's number 08 in the saga of Reg……………..Reg has been so down since he stopped drinking…….he feels so alone he's gone and done something stupid…..but luckily he was found by the postman unconscious on the steps leading to his bedsit….the postman…
For the grandchildren, when I get some!
Moonbee started life as a doodle, then he was turned into a little story, then a song!
This is Part 1 of the series - I have no idea how many there will be in total!

Doctor (Lyrics)
Doctor can you help me, can you stop the pain thats roaming around in my head
Doctor give me something to stop the Hallucination thats coming…
Here 's a new one from the Kite boys. It's not been floating around too long, it's been quite a quick one from the moment that Tim dropped a little gem into our in boxes.

Me on…
This is a little ditty I did for a local songwriting group I'm in. The prompt was "No instruments" and a previous prompt was "One chord only", so I combined the two.
The haikus were written for a creativity group I'm in, so I used them for…
Seb is asleep so i thought i would start this years RPM challenge and i decided this years RPM album is going to carry on the story of Reg and Regs travel back into the real world after his breakdown through his abuse of drink and drugs and his…
Mummy's home today so i have sometime to play .....so heres one i've done for the Acousticfest over on the cool lab....Reg just wouldn't listen to good advice, so he's eneded up in the slammer......i even try a bit of Harp on this although i haven…

Alive
For the first time I see

For now, Again
Buried…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff

Nice lyrics and great voice dude.Good stuff
Very nice... Like something in a musical. The voice doesn't sound like Freddy Mercury but has the dramatic tension...
Hello Andrew Thx for all the comments on my songs! sorry I havent shouted back sooner!! i do appreciate bro! this is a cool song! like the style Brian
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!
:)

Faved from the intro... Sounded so sweet, and the lyrics looked good... luckily the track lived up to it all! Lovely song. Yep, winner.
Oh yeah, very well put together. Love that bass groove holding it down.
Nice one. Big vox!

One of my (many!) favourite songs. Nice performance.
Nice one. This thing better have a happy ending!!
Wonderful video. Reminded me that I haven't watched all of my Noggin the Nog DVD yet.
Like this a lot.
Well ole Reg certainly is in a bad way... Nice one, love the vocal on this.
Ooo yeah...
Aw this is just gorgeous. Good song well delivered - and some mighty fine arranging, love the sound.
Cool! Rockin and janglin all at the same time. Like it a lot.
Ha! Ha! Laughing out loud here. Brilliant. And a fine acoustic sound, and the slide work is just gorgeous.
When I read the "about" I thought "uh-oh, it ain't gonna grab me" BUT! It's fab, love it :-)
Yeah, slightly different, but still Reg. Like it.
I can hear The Who too on this. Like it. Love the groove.
Oh yeah, what a sound. No messin, couple of guitars and bass... and wow
Ah... another goodie. Vocal, piano, and cello - what a fine combo they make.
Nice one T. Loving that guitar sound
