Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978!
I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…

Thanks for your latest round of positive comments, Andrew. Really most appreciated. Have access to unbelievable range of sound libraries etc and looking to try them all at the moment!!!

I struggled to get this thing completed. I've been sat on it for weeks, finished, debating whether I was really prepared to let it go.
I loved the song when I wrote it, inspired by a wonderful week at the end of September. But the recording…

I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

I felt compelled to have at least one song that did not use any computerized instruments. This is two tracks of voice and three tracks of guitars. Just me.

"Under Watchful Eyes" is my 10th song for the RPM Challenge 2013. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

i just played some simple triads that matched the basic chord progression to Pachelbel's Canon in D(didn't try to play the original melody or anything), then improvised a few solos, hope you like it.

yes...actually vocals on this one. My buddy Dave laid down some vocals to the lyrics I wrote back in 1994...original arrangement from '91 to be uploaded later...this recording was pulled from a cassette tape and not mixed...sorry for quality…
Dancing in the rain alone
I strain to hear a healing song
With teardrops falling to my feet
I will listen for Love's heartbeat
I'll fly away on angel wings
When I hear the angels sing
Stranded on an island of fear
The ocean's rage is all you…
A noodle that turned into a doodle which turned into a song....thats what you get when you watch David Attenborough's Africa on TV................
No Rain (Lyrics)
The earth was scorched as dry as stone
nothing anywhere wanted to grow
the Devil…
#RPM Challenge 2013#
I’m a lucky boy
I’m filled with joy
I got angels guiding me
Happens every time
I don’t walk that line
Seems to work out splendidly
Stop and look around
I’m the luckiest boy in town
Ain’t no better can be found…
a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…
Title Track - RPM 2013
we all clap our hands to the beat as the beat goes by
jazz & poetry in the fifties almost died
Rock n roll became the goal as people slicked back there hair
Rock, Rock and roll , the parent were in despair
Elvis was…
Entry #2 RPM 2013
Mama Please
She falls flat on her face
she’s totally spaced
she has no disgrace
her life is a waste
she has no respect
she’s so full of hate
she drinks from morning till it’s very late
she’s living in hell
she’s trapped…
Entry #1 RPM 2013
Anything for You
Some rise early, some rise late
Some're up til morning light, some go to bed at eight
I'll be there baby whenever you tell me to
I guess you know by now, I'll do anything for you
Some like to rock, some…
Fine RPM here, loved every track. Took a while to get it going what with the AT "Oops" messages, but I got there :-)
Solid vox from Reg on some great tracks.
Steve Krell (SLKrell) and I have been feuding over the same girlfriend for a while now. In fact, there are several songs about her on Alonetone. Here is the latest in the story:
SLKrell says it’s a drag
Rosie made him pack his bag

Well the new women in Regs life became the keeper and his wife and they lived happily ever after...well up to now anyway...Reg can never seem to keep the pessimistic thoughts totally at bay but he was trying...He felt reborn on the birth of his…
Comments on Andrew Russe's stuff
I must be corny. I like it.
Like this a lot....especially the unexpected chord progressions in the 'all the morning it was raining' segment....!
Love the way you got that Guitar tuned up, She sounds fine af:) Great song, masterful production/arrangement!
Hahahahahah - I fell off my chair laughing when I saw your comment, Greg :)
EXCELLENT! Reminds me of a blow up doll my friend once had. Everything you ever wanted.
Lala sounds bright and lovely and a little mischievous... Your comments on tracks are always appreciated! And your tunes are super easy to enjoy :)
Thanks for your latest round of positive comments, Andrew. Really most appreciated. Have access to unbelievable range of sound libraries etc and looking to try them all at the moment!!!
Apple eatin magic cup touchin all wetted up in drained wine! Nothing says love better than that. Always a pleasure to hear your goods Sir Russe!
Hey, really love the feel of this track.....and Lala is sounding pretty damn awesome too!!
Lala has got off to a winning start! Great lyrics for Halloween and beyond... and awesome tune and beat as ever. LAC
Lala sounds awesome! Really like the feel of this one... your lyrics mesmerizing
Have you been indulging in the carnival row......excellent as always
She sounds like a mean ole gal ..... She's drove you to your darker side ..... Love it ... Good on ya Lala .....
Nice to see you're still recording. It was sad when you disappeared off twitter. Ally's brother.

Comments made by Andrew Russe
This one particularly stood out for me - didn't notice it was over 10 minutes!!
Nice RPM, really enjoyed it - well done!
Love it.
Back for another listen. It's a grower :-)
Oh nice. And very smooth picking.
AND THE FAVE BUTTON WORKED FOR ME!!!! lol
Never realised it was a pop-rock chord progression! Pachelbel rocks! Nice one - some really tasty guitar work.
Woo! Like it.
This is wonderful.
I can't see how you're keeping the standard up while creating so many - who cares? Just keep them coming!!
Nice one. Not quite what I was expecting at all - feels (to me) like a departure from both of you.
Oh yeah - you can sure write these.
Had trouble getting this to play earlier - real glad I gave it another go. Wonderful.
Nice one.
Superb stuff.
I seem to have embarked on listen No 2 of the whole thing... lol You're right to be proud of it - it's pretty damn good.

This is a wonderful track. "Always knew he was filled with sin Now he’s out and I am in" Class!
Gorgeous
I heard this earlier as part of the album. This is a magical track.
