Take Your Time

I’m a dumb man, but there is some good advice in this song. I had my father (who had passed away earlier in the year), my mom, and my cousin Janet in my mind when writing it, especially the last verse. I am by no means a confessional songwriter but this one is from the heart.

Perhaps You Should Not Have Invited Us

I tried to become a robotic version of Joelle Labert for the vocal. About when the party is in full swing, how a bad apple may appear.

Holiday Slow Dance
by Rob Lynch

A simple and sparse tune which began as a drum micing test. The howling low vocal is my attempt at making things uncomfortable.

Robot and Snowman in 3D
by David Mussen

This was my first Robot song, and it is really only a robot song because of all the hard work that Jonathan put in to it. I wrote this after reading the article When Robots Weep: Emotional Memories and Decision-Making by Juan D. Velásquez which I came across completely by accident.

Ragdoll

Ragdoll
by David Mussen

I was probably nine years old when when I got all sulky, and most likely, indignant about not getting what I wanted for Christmas. My mother then told me the story of her 1947 “Un-Christmas”. My Grandmother was the only one working (Granddad was out on disability) and so the family didn’t get presents under the tree that Christmas. Seven years old and no toys for Christmas. Believe it or not I actually listened to my mother, and the story always stuck with me. So I wrote her this song because that seven-year-old girl would have probably been just fine with getting a rag-doll. Also, I can’t sew.
