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…

THIS IS THE OLD YEURGH MIX - THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HIGHER UP THE LIST NOW, FULLY LOVED BY AR. THIS ONE IS LEFT HERE AS A MONUMENT TO SOMETHING OR OTHER (AND IN CASE YOU PREFER IT)
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.

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
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!

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
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.
