2005 Songs
The North Star of My Soul (2005)
by David Mussen
This was the second song I wrote for Robot Holiday. The lyrics were originally written for an entirely different song. When Jonathan asked (berated) me to try to come up with something for 2005 I went back to this song, but couldn’t find the music, so I took the lyrics and re-wrote the song.
Jonathan Hughes: bass, electric guitar, organ
Joelle Labert: vocals
Alex Lynne: background vocals
David Mussen: acoustic guitar

Lonely Christmas Eve (2005)
by David Mussen
This was the first song that I wrote for Robot Holiday, and may be my favorite. I think the acid test for a good song is if it can be played as a Bossa nova. I had been carrying around the image of sculptures made by the wind since I was sixteen years old, so I was glad to find it a home.
