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.

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!

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…

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…

So come down, and fade away,
The lights are still hanging from last holidays.
And the place in the dark, we'd occupy,
Is leaving my heart, feeling nullified.
So slow down, and walk with me,
Dark empty lanes, under heavy leafless trees…
Wow, apparently I've listened to this before, but I don't remember... (many thanks to galinka's recent favourites for finding it again :) )
Good song and vocals and all... but on this listen, it's striking me that those guitars are amazing.
Every 3 years, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) asks teens from across the country to meet up in a city to worship, fellowship, learn, and serve. This year, it was New Orleans. 33000 youth gathered together to demonstrate God…
Superb - love the chorus.
I'm actually one of the ones who heard but decided not to listen. But I can hear that this song and performance express the message almost perfectly.
Beautiful song :)
I wrote this music and realised that what I had created sounded like Air on the G String (BWV 1068) by J S Bach. It's not finished (I will re-record it).
I hadn't read the about while I was listening, and I was thinking the title must be a pun...
Love it (the track and the title). Looking forward to hearing the finished version.
Wow.
I was listening to your stuff the other day. Completely unlike anything I'm exploring, but something was grabbing me.
Hearing this new one made me click "Follow" :)
This song's about why sometimes you have to live your life, even if other people don't like it. Yeah, and I like Shakespeare too.
LYRICS:
I don't know why you won't speak to me
I could use a little sympathy
I don't know why there must be…
So, I'll drink up, beautiful,
I'll leave bottles, up and down the coast,
When I get to that light house,
I'll burn it down, and laugh.
Skeletons rise up to meet me,
In a place where the waves touch the beach,
And hollowed bones, broken…
Dug up another old one. Still trying to some new songs sorted, can't seem to get into gear. Old age ???? Oh by the way, just a piece of fiction, me & the old gal is on 38yrs of marriage !!!! You less for murder !!!!!!!!!
Might be a piece a fiction, but I've got one of those pieces of paper somewhere ("it says right here we're not married anymore"), and this kind of sums up some of the emotions that such a piece of paper evokes... lol
Nice song :)
Woah Yeah :)
Love this.
On this one it sounds like you need to find a bassist who thinks/plays like you guys do... I'm too busy unfortunately... and I live too far away... (and I'm not good enough neither) lol
Backing track for Coz I love you by Slade, this was my first attempt at doing a cover version. It's a lot different from the original.
this is the new version with a few added instruments and the vocals ...
The Inappropriate Question
G C/Gbass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting.
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.
Soon I will be a grand mother
I have a husband…
So, I'll drink up, beautiful,
I'll leave bottles, up and down the coast,
When I get to that light house,
I'll burn it down, and laugh.
Skeletons rise up to meet me,
In a place where the waves touch the beach,
And hollowed bones, broken…
Outside this motel room, there is a world gone man. Mortals eating the flesh off the face of other mortals. Mad shooters mass murdering strangers for no apparent reason. Well, baby, I say we just stay here, you and me, make love, and forget about…
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.
Nice one mate dig it
sounds cool ;-)
loved it ... very raw
great song, outstanding vocals, dig the solo too!
This is excellent. Shades of sonny landreth! Vaisvil
I like this one :)
Good one.
braw tell yer maw
wow, fantastic guitar and great lyrics...
Had to wait until I could get a better listen. Well worth the wait, excellent cover Andrew. Made it your own.
.. :-)
Beautifully captured. This was number 1 in the UK on the day I was born (45 years ago this week!)
Great cover mate excellent.

Yep. Mighty fine.
Oooh yeah. Like it.
I'm loving this accordian playing

And I LOVE this one.
So the gypsies dance to Deep Purple then? Like this one a lot.

Yep, back for another listen. Fabulous, stark, and beautiful.

Yeah :)
Wow (big Slade fan here), this is REALLY interesting. I like it a lot. Can't wait to hear the vocals on it.
Brilliant. "How do we know that a promise is anything more than a wish..." Woo This lonely little song needs a lot more attention.
I think this is so good I can't figure out anything sensible to say. I LOVE this song and how you've recorded it.
Oh yeah... love it, my sentiments entirely :)
