Bring Your Daydreams To Me
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
Fine song, fine, fine song. I love your slight country feeling here, really true sounding. This really works for me.
Andrew,mighty country slow bluesy winner.this set of lyrics is why ilistento country tunes .. Faved
another nice one
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!
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!
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!
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.
Sweet ballad, Andy! Well written. Love the tone you're getting on your reso - rich and sweet. Excellent slide work. Well done! DD
Hope you don't mind. I added this to my "Favorites / Other People" playlist. I enjoyed this Adrew!
Andrew, this is truly wonderful. I love it!
What remains, what will be - don't write down but to remember, but to sing. Live with them and with them go...
Hi Andy, I just got signed up here, and I'm glad to see that you are here as well. I just wanted to comment on this, your latest song... I find words difficult to say how much this song moves me! I think this is a Perfect song! I am a fan, LG
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.
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
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
Very nice song, love the slide!
You made it to the top big boy.......top of the world......very deserved for this song..............when you make it to the top of Alonetone, thats high praise indeed.
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. :)
Three times lovely! Love your voice - got a great tone and some real power going on. Mix is gorgeous also.
very nice;)
Magic man!
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.
Excellent! Sung like a song writer!
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.
