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!

A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…

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…

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!

Oh yeah. Like it. From the lyrics, it should be kinda depressing... but it's not, I find it really uplifting. So you could think, oh, the lyrics don't fit the music... but they DO!! I don't know how it works but it does. Love it.
I LOVE this... I got a notification that you'd posted - I thought "who's this? I remember the name, but..." Looks like I followed you when you first joined, but I'd dropped off the edge of the world by the time you started posting again! I got some catchng up to do :)
Winter 1977 / 1978 - band is Clay percussion, Evan guitar and guitar pedals (synth sounds), Mike Barry piano, Mike Craddock bass, and Chris guitar (with echo / volume pedal)
This was the next to last jam of the night
So I put 77/78 together with the title "Oh Well" and came up with... "wow! they played that?... ummm... er... ok... when does the riff start then??" lol ... Once I got to the end, I realised it obviously wasn't ever going to burst into "I can't help about the shape I'm in / I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin"... So I went round again... and appreciated some very cool sounds. In fact, this is mighty cool.
I've been busy lately playing The Last Of Us 2 and the similarities between what's going on in reality and the game are on point. We're not far off the cliff. I imagine every man for himself and Evil is resurrected in plain view but believing…
The last time I played a computer game (apart from solitaire!) was Tomb Raider 2!! So I don't get the references... but I do get the music... wow some cool sounds there...
OK... I've been misled by a track comment... I was finishing enjoying Shoulder Mounted Attack Borb and reading ahead for the next track... "calm reflective" indeed... eh? I need a lie down now... and I was barely off the horizontal anyway... Still, I'll happily agree with the "something compelling"
I have an aggressive species of cockatoo on my shoulder, so you probably should follow standard social distancing protocols.
His name is Mitri, and he's a lesser sulfur crested cockatoo, so he's kind of a jerk.
LOVE the title - pretty much describes me. Wasn't sure I was going to like the music too, but I do!! Big time... I'm gonna be checking out more of your stuff.
A simple tune with a sweet melody. New version uploaded with the sound more balanced and a better vocal track, I think.
Lyrics:
You thought it could be simple
You hoped it would be fine
When you took the path long travelled
You took…
Love the lyrics. I was thinking like this the other day - not specifically for or about me - but I was explaining what Jimi Hendrix's Highway Chile meant to me when I was young (to my wife, she was just nodding, so I'm guessing it was one of those "uh-oh, Andrew's talking about music/musicians again, better nod my head" moments!). And then I was wondering about Neil Peart and how he used to write about stuff like this... and then I wonder how... etc... etc... IN my case, I deliberately stepped out of the spotlight before it got that bright - I miss it but not what it costs... and yep, years later, the music got young again... did I say love the lyrics?
My latest composition - It was the first song I worked on in Dubai after curfew was imposed in April but it started life in January in the UK and was called 'Abundance Of Time' and has taken me until now to finish. It's a bit unusual as it has…

Cool sounds. I was going to listen out for the two basses (I'm considering it on something I'm working on, probably won't though) ... and then I missed it because I'm working in the other window... I shall try again!
Are all of my songs this month funeral dirges?
I like playing over a 6/8 groove, but I don't know if this one is holding up for me. I don't dislike it entirely, but it seems lacking somehow. I almost like the lyrics but I think I should have…
This one is long. Much longer than it needs to be, but at the time it seemed like the right move. The chorus to this one came to me while I was watching TV with the family. I fear (hopefully wrongly) that I stole it from the background score…
Loving the groove of this one. And another really cool chorus. Don't worry about the length - I was expecting a cool guitar solo for that long... and I got it :)
Not sure how I feel about this one. It’s not as bad as some of my crap, but it’s not that great either. I kinda like how the bass does some strumming, but damn if that intro isn’t way too long.
The rhythm guitars are an ES-335 Pro to a RYRA…
I see what you mean about the lentgh of the intro... But you'd lose the tension it creates if you shortened it? Loving the sound of the guitars on these tracks.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Very nice song...I take it...will listen again))
Very nice sound drums...good wave. And I like Your voice lot)))

Delightful!
Much kudos, much kudos indeed! =)

Good song! Best thing of my day so far, well except for 'I Like This Girl'!
OMG, this is simply awesome! Oh man I am smiling!!!
D'ya know, this is such a great song and performance.
yeah! that's the ticket! priceless!!
I really like this song...everything about it hits the spot. So glad you didn't throw it away.
Came back for anothe listen:)
wickedly good, simple as ever, but sounding just right. Great touch on this one AR
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!

But only two tracks! I want to hear more :)
Love that little guitar left playing at the end
Oh yes. This too. Love it.
Somehow the site had recorded that I'd listened to this. But I hadn't ... So I thought I'd give it a go. WOW! So glad I did - love it.
Oh yeah, that works.
Sounds like slightly more elbow grease than I'm prepared to put into it was also involved

Haha!... yeah, ok I'm hooked.
Another cool title... and track to go with it...

And another cool chorus! Yep... I think this could be my favourite of the four. Love the lyrics.
