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…

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!

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…
A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
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…

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...

Well she don't mind crying…
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
Alpha males and their sycophants

HARD DRIVE HOME

what turned our love into stone
what makes me listen to the love songs on the radio…

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.....

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
Oh, that hit the spot!
Awesome recording, LOVE IT!!!
Don't normally like cover songs...unless they're turned on their head. And you have done a killer job...Great.
Straight out of the Commitments sound track I say.....Great track
Very amazing.
Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
I have the BR1600CD, I recorded almost all my stuff on it!
Some nice dynamics, sounds like a pretty polished pop rock tune!
Some excellent stuff here, nice one. :)
Top track mate.
I dig your voice...veey soulful.... Nice acapella version....
S-w-e-e-t Piepod I love it Andrew! LG
Great storytelling Andrew. Real nice recording.
Simply beautiful
Master class in minimalism. More doodles please.
Such an intimate sound. Wonderful vocal! Holding my breath while listening.
love it
Brilliant, soulful vocal! Well done! w;-)
Really cool track mate.
Yeah! Has a nice live sound to it, you nailed that.
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

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.
