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…
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…
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…

Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Acoustic ghost story. Recorded 2010.
Easter 2010 I decided…
I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…
Great stuff Andrew. Have a listen to my solo stuff...Tiggy Acworth. Many thanks for so many kind words...keep singing and eventually the world will hear!

That be some good production right there. Dag nabit! I enjoy the different looks of the verse sections as the progresses. And the big vocal harmonies...I thought that ac gtr lick was gonna fly off into django territory.....always fun listening to your tunes. I learn something everytime.

A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…
Oh yeah, I love me some Beatles! Any Beatles, even the trippier stuff (maybe especially, haha). This one is certainly a fave of mine, and you give a great rendition here. I did not know Robin Gibb had a version of this, dang Imma have to check that out too! You definitely have the soulfulness down, as I feel that's what the song entails. Great great great! =D

I could sit and chill with your music all day, it's quite relaxing and thoughtful. Much respect over here, lovin the smooth blues-y, folk-y sounds. Very very much so. And the stories you tell are impeccable, I can feel the emotion. You're very real. Keep it up!

I'm sorry to say I don't know the original, but your version.... well, wow! It reminds me of "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley.... I don't know why, but perhaps it's in the same vein. I don't know, but anyway, just beautiful, really.

A world of corridors corporate finance
There's a party somewhere, I'm not invited so I don't care
It's the law of the jungle the mantra they chant

And you've got a date with a stranger who flirts with danger…

The End of Love (Lyrics)
She said she was a dreamer
So why did she lie
She told me she loved me
I had to ask her why
She couldn't look me
straight in…
The first song I wrote, and yes Fran nicked it !!! It's about the nightmares she was having,which was keeping me awake at night. Same old dream about her childhood & her mother,say no more !!
Fine song. And really the first one you wrote?
Wish I could get my missus to go near a microphone... I've got her as far as wearing headphones in the studio and passing comment on what's happening... but I can't get her to contribute any noises (apart from turning on the washing-machine when I'm trying to record a vocal!)
Lyrics:
You think you know what you’re talking about
You get your way when you scream and shout
Look all around, you’ll find someone to blame
I’m just a pawn in your little game
I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…

Not sure whether I should really find "break up music" so restful (not the break ups I've been through anyway!) - but I did this. Wonderful feel to it. Enjoyed it a lot.
I find this one is the most accessible of the ones I've listened to. I really shouldn't like this stuff, but I find it strangely appealling - I'll be back to give some more of it a go. :-)
The last one for the day....what can i say it had to be done.....
Broken Dreams(Lyrics)
We’ve all had dreams broken
we’ve all wanted the absurd

The instrumental on its own didn't grab me (sorry MTC! It was mighty fine but it didn't move me). But this... wow, not only does it work like this - very well - it makes sense of the original instrumental for me.
Fine FINE work chaps.
Still like it :-)
Faved this one as well. It's got a bigger, wider feel. I think it's the same lead vocal track? If not it's still got popping on it - do you use a pop-shield?
We did four versions of this song - all with different guitars (or combinations thereof). This is version 2, my own favorite version.
You can find all four versions at my web site:

Hi folks - Uncle Paul is back at it after a 4 month hiatus from music.
Sometimes I just have to walk away from it. I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about.
I forced myself through the 2012 RPM Challenge
and quit playing right after…
Someone's opened my ears (not sure who, but it's probably someone on here) - I started listening to this the other day and thought "yeah, it's ok" and stopped it after 30 seconds to look for something else.
I love the title though, so I just gave it another go... well, someone's opened my ears since then! Like it a lot :-)
A girl I know just asked me to write a song for her... Afterwards, I told her, "Be careful what you wish for!"
So this is my most recent tune, written and recorded in June of 2012... It'll be on this year's album, 'Footprints In The Hourglass...'
And here's another!
Nice work guys.
I don't seem to understand enough about what you're doing to make sensible comments. Except this - I like it, keep doing it!
Yes.
You're exploring a slightly different place than I am, but several times recently I've clicked on one of yours just to see "what's cooking" and each time you take me closer to this different place.
I'm starting to feel that vaisvil tunes are essential "Andrew Russe listening"! :-)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Yeah.Takes me back to high school.
Like. So clean.
Clean! Like the simplicity. The intensity.
Love the delicacy of it.
Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
I Really Like This One.The Acoustic Guitars Are So Crisp And Clean
You are a mad man! This is F'ing epic! I can here influences throughout , Floyd, The who to name a couple. Spot on everytime. Magnifico!
Sweeeet! It's early morn but need to listen again late at night with a large bourbon. Another excellent track Mr Russe
very wonderful work,, seems like you had a bit of fun doing this...
still kicking ass i see andy, still on my piepod for the walk to and fro work. braw tell yer maw.
I wish i could sing like that...damn...those harmonies are bad ass...your music is much more than a song. It seems locked into almost a epic tale..
Beautiful cover!
Great stuff Andrew. Have a listen to my solo stuff...Tiggy Acworth. Many thanks for so many kind words...keep singing and eventually the world will hear!
That be some good production right there. Dag nabit! I enjoy the different looks of the verse sections as the progresses. And the big vocal harmonies...I thought that ac gtr lick was gonna fly off into django territory.....always fun listening to your tunes. I learn something everytime.
This is a very intoxicating flavor, between the melody and the music and the content... Great job!
Thanks so much for your kind comments.....and keep up the great music...."Anyway" is a wonderful track

What grabs the most about this is "things are bad, but I ain't dead yet.." Love the blues! I felt this one a lot.
Comments made by Andrew Russe
Compelling tale and wonderful backing for it.
This thetworegs/Billy jack pairing works really well. Love the riff in the verses on this one.
Oh wow - love it! Just found you off someone else's list of recent favourites... Faved and followed immediately! :-)
This is fab... Excellent vocal, and I love the guitars
Fine song. And really the first one you wrote? Wish I could get my missus to go near a microphone...

Yep, I can see Alvin Stardust doing it too...
I can't believe I didn't fave this last time I listened to it. Fixed!
I like this a lot. I love the descending banjo into the chorus.

Wow. I didn't understand it at all... But I did kinda like it - you had me listening all the way through. Gonna check out some more.
I missed this, how did I miss it? Fabulous!

Very smooth. Lovely live feel. Fine song and arrangement. And what a voice the man has! :-)
Rockin!! Almost convinced me to put away the acoustics and start doing some electric again. Loved it.

I like this. I need to check out more of your stuff.
