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 of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD.

**The Knife - A A J Russe**
A dark and star-less night
Probably driving rain
That's what they think became of me
A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…

La la land , by David Bevan and Tiggy Acworth
When you’re in lala land the sky is always blue,
Yeh in between here and never land is something quite untrue,
CHORUS
You’ll amaze as you gaze into your imagination,
A world of makebelieve…
WOW!
I'm obviously about to fave all your stuff if this anything to go by lol
Inventive, melodic, and extremely fun to listen to. And a superb voice.
Faved and followed :)
This Guy's In Love With You Skeen Remix 120728(Burt Bacharach)
You say, this guy, this guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile, I can tell we know each other, very well
How can, I show…
This is a lil tune I had written over fifteen years ago. It is one of my favorite progressions and I figure in the near future to record a full band arrangement with vocals. This is just a ruff take working out a melody over the changes.
This song was inspired by a long walk....
Lyrics:
Down by the river, down by the shore we go
The moon above cast a beautiful glow
We walked around talking through the night
I can’t help but think how it felt right
Hey Constance, don’t you feel…
I keep trying to comment this, but it keeps disappearing into the ether...
Obviously there's a "Gushing Bullsh1t" filter on the comment engine on alonetone lol.
I'll tone it down then - This is brilliant. And the way you sing her name makes you want to meet her. Love it to pieces.
This is a song about questions, especially after experiencing the loss of someone special.....here are the lyrics:
Down past the bridge
By Saint Peter‘s church
She hums a prayer
Her eyes blue and bare
She’s longing for comfort…
It's definitely worth following Bethan around on this site...
Fine, fine song.
I love "She wants the truth... she says"
... ALL boys need teaching this (before they find out disasterously for themselves) lol
For my Wife
Liz and the boy are currently staying with her sister by the coast.
Just to catch some chill time after all that has happened this year.
They are gonna spend the school holidays up there.
Should be cool for the both of…
Back for another listen. It's early morning, I'm having a coffee and doing some emails and a bit of listening before disappearing back into the room with too many guitars.
The one I'm working on now isn't acoustic, but this is what I wanted to listen to first.
This is kinda uplifting and the right thing to start with :)
This song written by Mark Imsdahl..I found it over at Greg Connor's ...I liked it so much that I asked Greg and Mark if I could do an electric version of it and they agreed...i want to have Mark blow some harp on it when he gets back from vacation…
Right from the opening guitar notes...
(faved right then, didn't care what might follow!)
... stately stuff, superb.
I've been fave-ing a lot of stuff recently, this is one where I felt like I needed a "super-fave" button...
Love it.
In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…
Ah, I remember this kinda stuff. Don't listen to it much at all nowadays, but it's nice to hear every now and then. This reminds me of "Ultimate Sin" period Ozzy - can't remember who the guitarist on that is (probably someone really famous in the guitar world!).
And Ronnie James Dio - WHAT a voice that guy had...
I'm with captgene on this one - "Rocks"
This was from about 4 yrs ago thru a Guitar Center King of the blues online collaboration. I was using Guitar Rig Jimi Hendrix Octavia on this.....pretty hairy sound right there.

It's just past 8am on a Saturday morning, no work, thank goodness. Got my strong black coffee and cigarette...
... and this is the first thing I hear.
What a set-up for the day.
Fabulous...
Many thanks

Aww yeah... fabulous
Not sure that I'm going to get involved in the fest myself, but if I do get time, this was the main one I wanted to do but I couldn't figure out how to approach it. I'd have wanted to strip the famous hook out as well, but I couldn't see what was left that I could make something of...
THIS on the other hand is exactly what's left and you've grabbed it by the short and curlies.
Fine job sir.
I took an old track that was a cover of Hear my train and dropped the vocals and added some new electric guitar tracks. I had just upgraded my recording setup and was testing some hardware and software when I did this. It has a punchy lil guitar…
Tasty.
Does sound very summery - almost enough to block out the rain going on here.
Maybe it's cos I'm a guitarist, but I felt no "rambling on" without the vocal. It's almost got an Allman Brothers vibe to it.
Please also listen to the second part of this track, "John Capulator".
This part represents first scenes of comics, John Capulator's appearing from the morning fog in a narrow alley, huge double chainsaw massacre near crowded underground station…
Please also listen to the first part of this track, "Man of the morning fog".
Lots of letters downstairs.
John Capulator is a comics character drawn by my uncle. This is his own description of JC:
well first we must know what John Capulator…
I was about to comment when I listened earlier but a bunch of other stuff happened.
Really like this. Very atmospheric. And like B says, some fantastic guitar all the way through. The lyrics weren't up when I first listened, and I wasn't really listening to the words, but the moods the music and vocal were painting really fits the words.
Nice one
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
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.

Awww, I LOVE this. Fine song obviously... But it's a wonderful and fabulous rendition of it.
Oh this is beautiful listening. Might just be working out changes and melody, but it stands as it is. Very relaxing.

I keep coming back to this one as well. Such feel-good music.
And I need another listen to this as well. This is gorgeous, utterly gorgeous.

Short and sweet... but what a tone! Made me think of Jack Black in School of Rock - I think this one qualifies as a "face-melting solo" lol
And a new one from T as well! Bliss... This is wondrous. Love the "Three thousand pennies..." line.

Hey, second listen, the hook is there!!

I've listened to them in the wrong order! But, hey, it's fabulous. I see how this fits on the front of John Capulator.

It is! (ah and you've added an about, and stuck them in the title) SUPERB version
WOW! Brilliant version (it is what I think it is, isn't it?). If it isn't... er... brilliant anyway! Love it.
