Bring Your Daydreams To Me

Uploaded March 6, 2011 7:16pm.

511

New one from me. It’s ended up as a bit of a “crying into yer beer at Bob’s Country Bunker” sort of song lol…

I’ve been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after my first marriage ended.

I’ve written a song around them two or three times before, but I wrote a new one yesterday.

The recording is a bit of a first for me. I told myself this morning that I was going to record a complete song in one day… and I’ve managed it. Usually I would have replaced a few of the parts that I don’t like, but I’m going to pretend they’re not there instead!

Bring Your Daydreams To Me - A A J Russe

Write down the names
Of the things that you wanted
Cross out the ones you’ve received
Those that are left
Highlight as daydreams
Bring your daydreams to me

Now draw up a list
Of the hurts you have suffered
Especially the ones that won’t heal
Make a note of the times
That you needed comfort
Then bring your daydreams to me

I can’t be everything
Don’t fool yourself that I can
But just this once
I can bear anything
Bring your daydreams to me

You have a lot of talent and skill, Andrew. I'm enjoying going through your songs. You sound like Jack Bruce sometimes (compliment)

Thanks Andy your on the money... not sure what upset him in the lyrics I can't find anything offensive but hey it takes alsorts to make a world he must have been having a bad day.... And by the way this is still a beauty

Yeah.Takes me back to high school.

Guest said July 16, 2012 12:53am

I could sit and chill with your music all day, it's quite relaxing and thoughtful. Much respect over here, lovin the smooth blues-y, folk-y sounds. Very very much so. And the stories you tell are impeccable, I can feel the emotion. You're very real. Keep it up!

Anton said July 12, 2012 10:05pm

I really like your singing, i feel that you put a lot of yourself into your songs. Very melodic guitar lines too, i like slide arrangements!

Greg Connor said July 12, 2012 5:50pm

That *SLIDE* adds the perfect touch. Fantastic song!

JR James said July 12, 2012 3:17pm

Dude...this song is killing me. That slide guitar is placed perfectly in the spectrum...everything is....god damn that is a good tune...jeez louise!

JR James said July 12, 2012 12:45pm

Andrew...best song I have heard in a long long time...i am blown away. Everything is perfection on this. Your voice is great...your voice is similar to Ed Roland from Collective Soul...but more soulful....I must listen to this 500 more times....thanks for sharing.

dobrodaddy said June 13, 2012 1:42am

Sweet ballad, Andy! Well written. Love the tone you're getting on your reso - rich and sweet. Excellent slide work. Well done! DD

Bloody great song , the vocals do it for me every time

boy named bri said March 18, 2011 6:27pm

Just enjoyed rolling through your 5 "Latest Music" tracks. You have a very nice sound. Remind me of a guy I used to play coffee house gigs with, Rick Walker. Nice work mate. :) And thanks so much for all of the kind comments on my tracks. Really encouraging to hear fellow musicians say such positive things.

crackitopen said March 18, 2011 1:22am

really like this song...love the first verse especially...and I like how you string out "I" in the beginning of the chorus...I say you made a fine song in one day...good to meet You... Michael

twirretwarre said March 16, 2011 9:12pm

Big applause Andrew, great lyrics, almost therapeutical. The music is giving the right accent on the lyrics, totally fitting! (And I am relieved you came over the shock and relaxed when you heard my music! :-) I had a big smile seeing your comment! Roeleke

Dave Berry said March 15, 2011 7:01pm

One of the best songs I have heard on any internet songwriters site............ever

thetworegs said March 11, 2011 8:11am

beautiful....that all i can say to this one .....beautiful

Guest said March 11, 2011 8:06am

What can one say but, wow! This also has an Hank Williams feel in parts. The emotion of it. Seemed to be rather common in country music in his time. Gospel..soul..blues. You are quite the alchemist. This one goes on the space station with me too. :)

Norm said March 10, 2011 9:46pm

Excellent!

Wildgeas Music said March 10, 2011 9:04pm

Man, this is a real nice track...well done.

Geir said March 9, 2011 3:55pm

This is just too good !!! Love it Andy !!!

Guest said March 8, 2011 8:53pm

Magic man!

Dave Berry said March 8, 2011 6:46pm

Like Cave street says.....Blue Rodeo, thats a good comparison, and that is a high compliment indeed, one of the best loved Canadian bands out there....you done real good here Andy.

Cave Street said March 8, 2011 1:44am

Excellent work, reminds me of Blue Rodeo, one of my all-time favorite bands!

chesook said March 7, 2011 8:18pm

Really like the chords changes and vocals.

Movement To Contact said March 7, 2011 8:14pm

Perfect vocals, and a nice mellow song. Very clean recording. :)

Djörk said March 7, 2011 2:54pm

instant classic - really nice job!

Guest said March 7, 2011 1:43pm

Excellent! Sung like a song writer!

Gary Fox said March 6, 2011 10:10pm

Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.

Gumbo said March 6, 2011 8:53pm

My beer is all blurry ....

stoman said March 6, 2011 8:41pm

Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note. I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.
