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…
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!

Acoustic blues. Recorded in 2005. I was trying to record something else, can't remember what, and the missus was going out. She had cyclist Lance Armstong's book, or was talking about it. Sounded like a great title for a song as well as his book…

A song for whoever likes it. Erm, and it's not really what this life is all about - but don't ask me what it is about, or even why you want to know what it's all about....erm...rambling now.
Well I likes it :)
(Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees
Shaking…
I am blind but I read you like I´m reading braille
I´m half drunk but what is rushing through my veins
Isn´t caffeine or alcohol though the kick feels much the same
Blind, half drunk I stumble but I’ll get up and try again
I must have said a…
Oh yeah! :)
You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
w/m
oldrottenhead
On Norwegian shores
Neath the autumn sky
Sitting by the water’s edge
Counting bees and flies
I’ll soon be going home again
I’ll be saying goodbye to my friends
On Norwegian shores
The sunlight bright
See a million stars
When…
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…
@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol
(He seems to have put on a bit more weight than I imagined, though...)
As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing.
But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
I am slowly coming to the realization that I am sacred.
I trust you do as well.
It was so easy to be bitter
To hate the life I was born into
And I almost lost myself in this fight
Cutting what was so sacred
I could not see beyond…
Cave Street posted a track recently, their contribution to the Woody Guthrie Project, organised by Akron Family.

Once upon a time, a man couldn't think of a song to save his life, and then one night it just came together. I miss the cello though. (all recordings are a work in progress)

Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Excellent! :)
Let's not mince our words here. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Astonishingly pro - very shiny indeed! I can't believe I missed it.
Love your vocals man. I'd like to hear the whole band thing on this one. Bass, drums, piano, harmonica - oh yeah!
Really enjoyed that!
Wonderful arrangement - haunting delivery. I love your voice...great LIGHT and soft shade!
Well, you sing it so well. Sometimes we just have to get a song out of our systems. Thanks, that's great!
This track exudes rhythm. Super vocal and I love the guitar.

Beautifully captured. This was number 1 in the UK on the day I was born (45 years ago this week!)
Great cover mate excellent.

ROCKIN!! Those drums have got me in hysterics.
Well I likes it :) (Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)
Wooo... love the harmonies.

Oh yeah! :) You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)
Woo! a choir. Nice one
Yep, good to see this on here.
Wow - this is wonderful.
@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol (He seems to have put on a bit more weight than I imagined, though...)
Gorgeous playing. The song's never really moved me as much as other things do, but this version is beautiful.
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing. But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
Yep sirree... Don't need to mess with it for my money. Instant fave.
Yep, this is a bit special
Oh yeah. Fine version.
Oh this fine listening.
Liking your stuff :) Love the chorus on this one.
Oh superb...
Brilliant... This had me in hysterics, a work of genius.
Yep, another good one :)
