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

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.

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…
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…
@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…
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

I wanted to take a shot at this too, so here's my demo. It was really just half…
Once upon a time, a man couldn't think of a song to save his life, and then one night it just came together. I miss the cello though. (all recordings are a work in progress)

Well Reg decided to go out Dancing down the Disco to see if there were any young ladies about........he shouldn't drink!!!

But the polarity must have been wrong
She drew me in while I repelled…

@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)
