First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

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…

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…

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.

Love it - Your "throwaways" are comparable to my highest quality prized possession recordings (Actually, I haven't even had one of those yet!) :)
Great track!

Super Tune .......Steve
Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Place In The Sun
Toms Tune / Lyrics
It’s the spiraling mind that’ll slowly unwind
And scatter thoughts for no one to find
It’s the restless heart that simply come's apart
Forever searching for a new start
No I’m not one to ever come…
So Many Things
By Mark Andrew
So many things, inside my head
So many words, that needs to be said
Time, travels on
Days and nights, nights and days,
all have their song
Time, travels on
Days and nights, nights and days,
all have…
Belladonna
(Timbob Tune / Chris Lyric)
I see her beauty shines so bright
In the red summer sunlight
Venus casts her blinding light
Much to Mars’ delight
A molten marriage of fire and ice
The seductive serpent in paradise
She’s the Goddess…
First Lie
Chris Tune / Toms Lyrics
I heard you singing from the roof tops
saw you swinging in the trees
tripping on a cough drop
dealing your disease
I watched you watching from the washroom
heard you tumble down my stairs
passed out…
Trying to figure out what an Inbeseen might be - but who cares? Whirly organ, scrunchy guitars, and that bass (I'd actually like to hear more of that - there's some groovy stuff going on down there) - what else does one need?
Solid stuff.
Oh yeah. Nice contrast between the verses and when the double time kicks in. And then the stonking guitar that kicks off the middle section - woof! I specially love the guitar in the verses.

Ambient, building electric guitar instrumental, something like a cross between the late great Gary Moore and some softer stuff by Allan Holdsworth.
Imagine your spacecraft nearing a black hole, and the strain it puts on your vessel. Then, as…
When this started, I was disappointed that it was going to be an instrumental to close. But I was wrong, the guitar does the job of a vocal, lyrics and all...
Superb set of songs - loved every minute of it. Well done, very well done.
Morning Glow
End of the line
Ahead of me just loneliness
Scanning the horizon - only emptiness
Losing heart for a while
As the twilight’s rolling in
Getting caught between the darkness and despair
Used to never fail
Used to find a…
Oh I LOVE how you use chords and harmonies.
Wonderful dynamics in this one. It almost feels like it has two choruses, the bridge is so powerful. And then when the chorus proper kicks in, it's shiver-down-the-spine time... Superb.
TIME TO HEAL
The gates of freedom close at hand
Time to rise and take a stand
Sometimes you have to let it go
Leave behind all that you know
To draw a line up in the sand
Some secrets stay inside
Finding a way to hide
So many moments…
And a resonator! (Sounds like you've got the same guitar collection I have - hehe).
Aww this is a gorgeous song. The backing vox are spot on. And I think this my favourite lead vocal so far.
On, I DON'T have a pedal/lap steel - is that what it is? Sounds fabulous.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
This is really good - nice production and a catchty melody. Thanks also for listening to my own songs and taking the time to comment. Paul

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFF in a good grooving way. Sensational man, sounds wicked done up like this. This could be huge on the radio right now.
Great song....
Love it - Your "throwaways" are comparable to my highest quality prized possession recordings (Actually, I haven't even had one of those yet!) :) Great track!
Smoking track - I could listen to this one all day, bud!

Nice closer - I'm a sucker for a good organ! Fine album. Well done guys :-)
Oooh, nice contrast
Loving the guitars on this one
Nice one
Oh yesss - very strong riff. Liked this one a lot.

I'd wondered where you were at! Good to hear you. Rockin stuff.
How did I miss this???! Rocking
Yep, listen to that Peppermint woman - come back and upload some more... this is fabulous
Ooo, and this is a goodie
...but I love this one.
I like this one...
Oh, gorgeous organ sound.
Love the emptiness - the arrangement fits the mood rather well.
Mac's & Gene's comments brought me here... Glad I made the trip. And this was a jam? Very cool.
