Here we go again…
I didn’t think there was anything left in the tank, but here we are.
Ready for a lie-down now!


Ifs Buts And Maybes - A A J Russe

Yes it was me
Maybe I couldn’t see
How you loved me
Maybe it’s late
To discover how much
You cared
If there was time
If we live it again
Maybe I would know
Before you go
Maybe finally we could be

Ifs buts and maybes
May be how
We survived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don’t count
Anymore
Ifs buts and maybes
May be the way
That we lived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don’t count

What if I tried
To remember the time
That you kissed me
What if I find
That the line in the sand
Is not there
Now that I fade
Where your memory played
And I miss you so
Try as I might
Nothing will lead me there

If I could count
The ways that it could be
I’d fly like a bird
But ifs buts and maybes
They don’t count
Anymore
No they don’t count

Ifs buts and maybes
May be how
We survived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don’t count
Anymore
Ifs buts and maybes
May be the way
That we lived it
But ifs buts and maybes
They don’t count

Thanks for keeping me company on the train to Brighton. Looking forward to hearing you develop these in time. Liking unplugged Russe - enjoying the rawness and spontaneity in places, making the artistry all the more apparent. LL x

Great song. Was playing and singing along with it like I wrote it. I didn't know the word 'demo' still existed in music. It sure doesn't apply to this tune. Sure as a puffy(singer/songwriter/player) I hear the layers...but at the end of the song it was perfect as it was. I totally get the 'wait until you hear it with everything I hear' composer vibe. But this aint no demo. This is a song. Awesome I'm a wordy bastard considering I'm just your basic''ego driven organ grinder monkey'!

Awesome! Very catchy melodically (complex in a great way) and otherwise. I love the bridge....and the "they don't count anymore"...love that....and nice ending vocal too. Your challenge seems to be going extremely well.
