Shine
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!
Shine - A A J Russe
On my way
To bring you comfort
I found a girl
At the side of the road
She seemed hurt
And obviously suffering
So I stopped
I don’t know why
Shine she said
And don’t stop wondering
Shine
And don’t let go
She might have been somebody’s daughter
She might have been somebody’s wife
I wiped the tears
And bought her coffee
Cigarette
And held her hand
I watched the fire
Slowly dying
Held her tight
As it passed away
Shine
And don’t stop wondering
Shine
Please don’t let go
She might have been somebody’s daughter
She might have been somebody’s wife
It made me think
How much I love you
I know how much
But does it show?
Can you feel
My arms around you?
Or is your fire
Dying slow?
Shine she said
And don’t stop wondering
Shine
Do not let go
So I will try to keep on wondering
I will shine
And not let go

So damn good...So it's gigging at the Quay..Truthfully how many took the dive in and yelled back, come on in, it's warm as fuck!
Not enough is made of your talent for musical arrangement as it's taken for granted in the shadow of your vox. You have such a huge talent, Russe. More please.
Just Chillin' to your music - much appreciating some fine music, singing and great songs. G:) Thanks, A
Really beautiful cover of 'whiter shade of pale'. Cracking vocal.
Great track Andrew...downloading now! Thanks for your continued support and kind words. Very nicely produced your stuff is.
This is really good - nice production and a catchty melody. Thanks also for listening to my own songs and taking the time to comment. Paul
Good song! Best thing of my day so far, well except for 'I Like This Girl'!
D'ya know, this is such a great song and performance.
Don't know how I missed this one. I'll second Tess' comment, WOW.... "Shine" hits the mark!
I Really Like This One.The Acoustic Guitars Are So Crisp And Clean
That be some good production right there. Dag nabit! I enjoy the different looks of the verse sections as the progresses. And the big vocal harmonies...I thought that ac gtr lick was gonna fly off into django territory.....always fun listening to your tunes. I learn something everytime.
This is a very intoxicating flavor, between the melody and the music and the content... Great job!
Good song all around. All the instruments interact well and the recording is clean. You have a great soulful tone to your voice.
Nice groove. Ever heard any Fred Eaglesmith? Backing reminds me of his band - a very good thing in my world!
Let's not mince our words here. WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. Astonishingly pro - very shiny indeed! I can't believe I missed it.
Oh, it's lovely Andrew! Really great vocal and I love the tempo. Sort of jogs along!
Very much enjoyed!Good to hear a new one up from you! Good luck on the new studio!
Every time I think you won't be able to top what you've already done you prove that you actually can. I love the sound of this song - needless to mention your voice and songwriting. Good to hear something new from you, Andy! Keep them coming! Regards, Steffen
GREAT song, Andy! Excellent lyrics, melody and instrumentation. Man, you've got a heluva vox! Love that touch of gypsy guitar! Very well done! DD
Oh yeah,top class piece of work
From about 1st 1.28 seconds I was hooked. The vibe is Just right for me (listening on laptop speakers and the song is filling the room!) .... Just the right amount of quirk to spiral that roots sound into the stratosphere! I love how you have the Reggae, Gypsy and Rock merged into one amazing showcase of Talent that cant help but shine! If you are ever in London, Let me know and we will do a Vodcast for you. Peace T
Nice!
