Nice color on this song Jimmy, beautiful guitar work 🎸👌

Nice song with beautifull interpretation !

Interesting « futuristic » song. Amaaazing guitare and congratulations to the singer who has done really well despite all the key changes!😅

You said in some comments below that you should have shortened the solos … what! No! Never! Love the piano outro, too.

@hearthouserecords: OK, I love that, I'll go check out that playlist. Thanks!

Awesome collab you guys! Enjoyed the change in keys. Indeed a hard one to sing!

Awesome ! Nice collab with Bubba 👏🔥

I wrote this song with Bubba Maddux late last year and just finished it up. We both worked on the music and the lyrics together and I played the instruments and Bubba Sang the song! He did an outstanding job singing it since the song has 5 key changes and is very difficult to sing! It's sounds a bit like a child of Pink Floyd and David Bowie, very futuristic. Well, maybe not so futuristic the way AI is taking over everything! The video is on YouTube and it's pretty mind-blowing, Hope everyone enjoys it, Cheers!🖖

“LIKE ROBOTS DO”

THE BURNING LEAVES UPON THE GROUND,
THE GRASS, THE TREES, OBSCURE THE SOUND,
THIS FEELING OF IMPENDING DOOM,  
SMOKE FROM THE ASHES HIDE THE MOON,
REMEMBER WHEN OUR LOVE WAS NEW?
NOW WHAT’S A THING LIKE ME TO DO?

HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS, HALF ASLEEP,
THE TRUCKS, THE CARS, THE LINES THAT CREEP,
 I’M FEELING DROWSY, PASSING OUT,
 HORNS HONKING WILDLY AWAKE THE DOUBT,
 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LOVE WE KNEW?
 NOW WHAT’S A THING LIKE ME TO DO?

I’LL KEEP FLOATING THROUGH LIKE ROBOTS DO,
EXPRESS NO LOVE, NO EMOTION TOO,
CLANKING AWAY WITH RUSTY PARTS, 
JUST LIKE THE TINMAN WITHOUT A HEART,        
BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE I CAN STILL RECALL,
A SENSE OF WARMTH BEHIND THIS WALL,
YOUR LOVELY FACE, YOUR EYES OF BLUE,
FUNNY THE THINGS BROKEN ROBOTS DO?

REMEMBER WHEN OUR LOVE WAS NEW?
NOW WHAT’S A THING LIKE ME TO DO?          

I’LL KEEP FLOATING THROUGH LIKE ROBOTS DO,
EXPRESS NO LOVE, NO EMOTION TOO,
CLANKING AWAY WITH RUSTY PARTS, 
JUST LIKE THE TINMAN WITHOUT A HEART,        
BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE I CAN STILL RECALL,
A SENSE OF WARMTH BEHIND THIS WALL,
YOUR LOVELY FACE, YOUR EYES OF BLUE,
FUNNY THE THINGS BROKEN ROBOTS DO.

"LIKE ROBOTS DO" (Feat. Vocal/Lyrics By Bubba Maddux)

Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an OK lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio. If anyone wants to collaborate on any song just let me know, I'll be more than happy to collaborate. I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, so let's all sing a song!👍😎✌🏼.
