A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

I said it…
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…

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.

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...

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

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.

If anyone is interested in trying their own lead on this track let me know i will upload just the backing track.
Take care everyone and stay safe
Ukulele and vocals performed by Jazz, 12.
She's starting to write her own stuff (proud!) but just to get her in the studio for the first time, here is a cover of a song by Vance Joy.
Haven’t uploaded any material in ages! I have been building custom guitars which has been taking up some of my spare time. This track features my first guitar build which I am playing over a backing track.
This was a collab between my old friend Joe and I from a couple years ago. I recorded the basic track and sent it to him so he could play the main melody/ guitar solo over it. I took the ending of the guitar solo section and reversed it to give…
Here an acoustic trial session of a song I’m playing around with at the moment. It’s half in French and half in English for now. One day, when time allows me :-) I will add musical instruments. For now questioning myself whether to do keep this…
Synths are meant to represent the fast beating heart of the technological city, with its busy trains and industrious people. The breathing is life, and the cheerful keyboard is supposed to be the fun and excitement of life in a city with a flourishing…
That beer on the table yours or mine?
I only left the room for a short time.
If you've gone and switched them I'm gonna be sad,
Cos that beer was the best one that I ever had.
Don't drink my beer, you hear?
I'm counting to 4 just to make…
I came back for a second listen on this one to check out the "60s studio tricks" again - but WOW, this song, the song itself, is a grower... 2nd listen, it could well be my favourite... The fade-in flanged part is "shivers down the spine" time... almost a pity it fades so soon after that!
And there's something really uplifting about this one. Each time the chorus comes round... fab.
Cool guitar sounds too - over the whole album - but I love them here.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
What a lovely song Andrew , quite touching
Great song man! Thank you for all your nice comments...makes it all worthwhile.
Dig! Enjoyed it! You've got a very groovy, cool style -- Rock on!
We're digging the other trax too!!!!
The Bee Gees meet the big bad-ass wooolf. Very cool.
I like the guitar, and range of vocals
Great sound there
I really like this tune. Your music is super! Very, very cool! All of it!
Fantastic!
Nice one Andrew great track
Magic.

Very nice Andrew , must have been difficult to sing man , i think the length of the song suits the content and style , fab
ahhhh,,, isn't this often the case?? nicely done
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
This one got to me right away. Wow, great song!

I'm with Mrs R on this one... it was ready! x

Comments made by Andrew Russe
Oh yeah. Cool playing.
Nice one
Made me smile there Greg
Wow. That's mightily cool.
Mighty fine playing.
That's cool. The reversed solo at the end works really well.
Well that's rather yummy
Wow... big sounds.
Like it, keep playing around with it. I think it sounds better in French - I feel more listening to it.
Sigh...
And this is amazing! Weird but utterly compelling.
Love it.
Yep, very cool. Shouldn't be my sort of thing at all - but it grabbed me. Excellent sounds too, really excellent.
This makes me smile. Love the funky guitar picking.
Yep :-)

And this one - I'm always a sucker for descending bass-lines!
On first listen, this was one of the standout tracks for me.
Well that was a very enjoyable 40 minutes - loved it all the way through - nice one, cool album Gary.
