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.

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

I tried to send a comment on here giving you my email (iris_selene@sbcglobal.net). If it worked, no need to even read this one, it's just the same stuff. I want to thank you for your feedback and we should chat, talk music, and I should get to listening to more of your stuff too. You're a great musician. Alright, thanks so much, hope we talk soon!
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…
Hearing traces of early Bowie! Woot! Love you in this poppier guise, but your voice shines fantastically towards the rock out close! (Also, loving those "ba ba baas"!)
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…

Acoustic tale recorded Christmas 2010.
I wrote it years ago. Even tried rehearsing it with the band I was in at the time. But I couldn't play it properly. It took several weeks of practicing DADGAD (never really used it in anger before) until…
One of my two contributions to a "Beatlesfest" we had over on songcrafters.org a few months back.
I still can't believe I covered this... having done it though, it feels like nothing is sacred. And, more worryingly, I feel I might possibly…
I saw this I was like "Oh hell yes!" And then I listen and it's like.... a harder rockin version..... wow! Very interesting in a really cool way. This song can tug at my heart strings no matter what. The brilliance of the Beatles can be conveyed through any way you wanna play it..... thanks for this one!

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
Acoustic love song. Written and recorded between Christmas 2010 and the New Year.
I'd just finished recording Elizabeth's Room and was tooling up to record a pop-rock song when this little beast popped out of nowhere, almost perfectly formed…
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…

Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.

You and me both, buddy! Haha. Nah I kid. It just seems really hard to get people to listen to new music. There's just so much of it around. :)
But thanks again. Much appreciated.

Andrew...best song I have heard in a long long time...i am blown away. Everything is perfection on this. Your voice is great...your voice is similar to Ed Roland from Collective Soul...but more soulful....I must listen to this 500 more times....thanks for sharing.
Lyrics:
After the Sun goes down
Lay in bed no sleep to be found
And the shadows dance on walls
After the Sun goes down
Just a reflecting time
The clock just seems to unwind
The silence gets so loud
Just a reflecting time
It won…
Back for another listen. I went to bed buzzing last night because of this. Over breakfast, the missus had to put up with me explaining and miming the virtues of this performance... (poor girl)
That entry at 1:19 - crumbs. And 3:38 til the end... And the end itself... It sounds so "live" that I'm expecting crowd noises!
Woof! Lovely.
When you want to do it, you've got the "expressive Hendrix" thing completely and utterly pegged - how to play it and how to record it - I'm in awe.
I know guitarists - and you probably do too - who'll sit around saying "oh so-and-so just copies Jimi/SRV/whoever" ... don't ever listen to them - they're just jealous lol. They bought the right gear, the pedals, whatever, and they still can't make the sound...
You've got it in the fingers/brain/soul, and I find it a joy to listen to.
Magnificent stuff.
I saw the title and I thought "I know a girl like that..." we have a wine rack with a lot of bottles beside it waiting for a space lol
So glad I liked the track as well!
Yeah...
I wanna get one of my strats out - but it's past my bedtime... (it's certainly past the neighbour's bedtime anyway lol).
Loved it.
I'll be back for more :-)
At first I thought "he's uploaded, er, a recording of Jimi"! lol
Brilliant, captured the feel of the riff, the way he double-tracked parts, the whole thing...
Loved it.
Using a drum track laid down by a fellow collab artist up in alaska [Rata_tat_tat], I put down some silly wierdness today whilst enjoying the nice coldness of a few of Miller's finest... Ha
Rata_tat_tat on drums
LG on Bass
Lg on guitar
LG on…
Lovely track. Gorgeous feel. I'd have been happier if it had been longer - I put it on and went "yeah" and wandered off to another window. There was a real feeling of "Oh!" when it stopped - had to come back and hit play again! lol
"Lovely tinkly bits" - Can't really top that for a comment, B lol
And it's so true!
Loved it all. I thought it was just OK when it started, not quite my kind of thing... But it grabbed my attention enough to stay, and then it just dragged me in. Faved by the end. Nice track.
I heard Wildgeas track Erase the Breeze on alonetone earlier and this came to me straight away so i had to get both sides of Reg on this one.. and kick it out while i had a little time ….hope you enjoy…Thanks Paul
I need to feel real real Love…
Yep, that works :-)
Cool song on the original track. Enhances and brings out that riff. I listened to the original first and thought "it's the riff I'd go for" - and I'm guessing that's what gave you the mood for the lyrics/vocal.
Nice work both!

Oh this hangs together very well... VERY well. Really interesting arrangement - all the different parts shouldn't really go together... but they fit seamlessly.
Love it.
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
awesome guitar and vocals awesome song.D DOG
Ooo, and the tee shirt by the sounds of it! I'm afraid to say that I have string of dead bodies behind me too! Tell the truth boys!!!
Ha ha! A man of the world then Andrew!! Rock on that man! Bethan
I Can't Believe This Song Hasn't Got more plays. Great Song.

!!! Oh heavens...unbelievably sad. The production and performance are polished and professional but, ouch, my heart.
Like that!
One of my middle names is Elizabeth, so this is automatically cute to me. Don't really have words, I just really like it. Good job!

Love the folky ness. Quite soulful! Lovin the lyrics too. All of it, quite good, yes indeed.
Andrew does it again!
Brilliant...I can here this in a movie if you get my drift? Reminds me of Cat Stevens.
I really like your singing, i feel that you put a lot of yourself into your songs. Very melodic guitar lines too, i like slide arrangements!
Soulful...always playing for the song, a musician's musician. I dig the low organ and how it pops out at the end of the bridge. Another Great performance.
That *SLIDE* adds the perfect touch. Fantastic song!
Dude...this song is killing me. That slide guitar is placed perfectly in the spectrum...everything is....god damn that is a good tune...jeez louise!
You and me both, buddy! Haha. Nah I kid. It just seems really hard to get people to listen to new music. There's just so much of it around. :) But thanks again. Much appreciated.

Mighty fine song. I like how you've controlled all those guitar parts to make a smooth rolling track. And like B sez - that whistle is gorgeous.
Like it. No, that's wrong... Second listen, I love it. Gorgeous guitar sounds.
OK... I've got to dust my strats off now (I've been enticed away by a cute 335 recently).

Loving your stuff - fantastic guitars on this one. So much expression in the lead.
Huge sound! Loved it.
Liking your stuff - I'll be back for more :-)

I kinda like how the extra sounds, the rain etc, are louder than the performance itself. It really works like this.
Oh yeah, this was one kind of goes off on it's own. Some fine playing on here.
Lovely track. Gorgeous feel. I'd have been happier if it had been longer - I put it on and went "yeah" and wandered off to another window. There was a real feeling of "Oh!" when it stopped - had to come back and hit play again! lol
