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…

Another wonderful track , I still think I can Here shades of Roy Harper in your music , and in my book that is a good thing , that isn't taking anything away from your songwriting , you are still very original

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...
@ facemask - there's time yet! I hope... lol
There's a LOT of competition though... and to be honest, I only really started saying what I wanted when I gave up the idea of becoming famous!!

Inside out
Everything seems inside out

Song #7 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. Another one with my Juno Synth as the main player. It ended up being much longer than intended (but it fits with the title...). I call it a Peter Griffin ending (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4X8HsEj7d4…
We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.
Another Rpm Reg is still sad ......
A sad song

The story is sad
But the story isn’t long
I’ll begin the song
About a woman who’s dead
Died in her sleep
alone in her bed…

Rachel & I went to see the new Bob Dylan movie "The complete unknown" last night of which I throughly enjoyed although Bob did come across as a bit of an arse at times. But anyway I was having a strum and thought I'd try and write a song in…
Song #6 for my 2025 RPM Challenge. This one is sort of a dance (anti-dance) song. Composed mostly using my Juno Synth. It took ages to put together oddly. Thanks to anyone who dares to listen!

And you…
Song 5 for my RPM Challenge (the half way mark!). Decided to use my Juno synthesizer for this one - I love that thing. Did this yesterday after a nice winter hike. Thank you to anyone out there who listens - much appreciated xoxo

Song 4 for my RPM 2025. I wrote and recorded it after dinner tonight. This time, I picked up the lovely Martin and strummed away. Another opportunity for some harmonizing. Thanks again for listening!

3rd Song for my RPM challenge. Went back to my piano and kept it minimal. I love singing harmonies (grew up listening to CSNY). Thanks to anyone who listens xox

Were you searching for pieces of me

First song I'm posting for RPM 2025. Not sure I'll finish this year....but I'll try.
Wrote this after listening to more of the horrible news coming out of the US.
Watching for you
Over shoulders
Can’t believe our eyes
Bolt the doors…
Woah! Very dark. I was wondering whether you'd be doing RPM. I talked myself into doing FAWM again this and I'm now thinking "why did I do it?!?!?!" ... determined to finish but struggling at the moment! GOOD LUCK - there's at least one person waiting for the next one from you :)
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
Brrrings it out !! love it Shades of Steve Harley perhaps and those harmonies are stunning. spot on and punchy as hell. Great song.
Another wonderful track , I still think I can Here shades of Roy Harper in your music , and in my book that is a good thing , that isn't taking anything away from your songwriting , you are still very original Rob

I'm not going to lie to you ....loved you voice.... great emotion.......nice subtle melody..loved it
Great cover love the voice
Nice chord progression! It adds a sense of uneasiness that works great will the lyrics
excellent
I am really enjoying your music this afternoon. Thanks for coming over Andrew.
What a sad tale. I love your voice and your diction is perfect.
Andrew, welcome to Alonetone. Oh love your sound. Man, you're really good. A little gruesome lyrically,but brilliantly well performed.
Great tune.

Same with this one. You've even got me checking out Microfreak online!
Wasn't expecting to like it when it started... but it's strangely hypnotic and likable
Bad pun or not... I saw the title and it made me click! Cool track. Yeah that works for me
Yeah.... like it.... second listen- love it!
I've just been trying to explain Reg to Mrs R... decided I can't do it as well as he does himself.
Yeah, I subscribe to that way of thinking! Thumbs up from Mrs R too.
Love the feel of this. Cool vocal.
We like ... (Mrs R listening too) ... This, like Almost Felt Like Dancing earlier, throws me right back into being the "university student me" in the early 80s - I can almost taste it. Very cool track.
A truly happy ending!!
Loving these.... I'm hearing the ghost of Alex Harvey trying to break through here... probably my imagination.
It's good to hear old Reg again. I was gonna say "will he ever be happy?" ... and then I read the blurb lol
That works!! Pretty much nailed it. And it's got me into the mood to listen to the early Bob Dylan albums again.
Yeah.... like it... takes me back to the 80s!
Oh yes indeed. Love this.
Missed this one! Nice :)
I love that "I don’t think that this Jar is enough" line, and how you sing the "You Maybe mine for a while". Cool harmonies as well.
Oh yeah, like it.
Nice one. And yes, very cool concept for an album, I'll check it out.

Cool! "Dark Arts", eh? LOL I'm coming back out of my long sleep - I'll do some more listening soon :)
