    "Automatonic Electronic Harmonics" Lyrics
    Music & Lyrics by David Michael Bennett
    Ever since the first time I opened my eyes
    I've awakened to the same thing
    Other automaton friends roughly built like me
    The first time I opened my mouth to speak
    steam escaped to the air
    and black oil dripped from my lips
    and onto the ground
    Well daylight struck a chord with my
    photo-receptors
    Night greeted me with a sea of stars
    Our eyes all flashed blues and greens
    through the night
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    People are soaring, always exploring,
    higher than they've ever been before
    But we are still down here,
    feet on the ground near
    what will rise us up with the rest
    Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,
    mechanical in nature all the time
    And pulses are firing in our head wiring,
    guiding all our actions and beings
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    I am not an unimaginable thing
    My thoughts are tangible
    though they're full of springs
    I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words
    My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth
    They say
    Oh, oh it's so down, but baby it's sound
    makes your worries cease to pound
    And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights
    for some time just to be held tight
    And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song
    one that drifts on for so long
    And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive
    and pointed up shining light to the sky
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    Epic and so cool
    Epic and so cool
    Epic and so cool
    Epic and so cool
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics

    I had the rare privilege of acting alongside these fine humans when we were at Grossmont College in 2007. We studied under a classically trained mime by the name of Jerry Hager, among many other talented teachers. Jon rode a unicycle to class, David always had a voice like honey poured over thunder, and Rabbit was always stealing the scene. Cheers fellows!!

    I love how Spine hits soprano notes in some songs, baritone in others, and goes into a throat voice in Honeybee. It's a very difficult sound to produce and having the ability to do so plus having a wide vocal range while sounding sexy as hell is amazing to me. Also doing that while playing one of the many instruments he's skilled in and keeping up the persona of Spine.

    Some other small details I love:
    - any time The Spine says "baby"
    - The Spine's costume changes to black and white during the bridge 2:38
    - The costumes progressively adding more accessories (glasses, jackets, and belts oh my) 3:11
    - 3:27 the twins slowly look at The Jon until he starts drumming again
    - 3:40 Rabbit's jacket blowing in the wind that's only affecting hers and not The Spine's
    - 3:44 melodica with distortion added????

      Hey hey hey hey you last two - get fucked if that's how you're going to describe Isabella doing what she needs to to feel comfortable in her own damn skin. What, should she sacrifice her sense of who she is for your entertainment? The outfit, paint and vocals may have been more to YOUR liking before she came out, but I guarantee she's having a better time. And that's entirely your opinion - I personally love the new styles of clothing, paint and vocals. She's a woman trying to be herself, not a fucking "bad drag act." Go listen to 'Transform,' you dicks.

      I was lucky enough to see them at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irvine, California, in 2018, and their performance was AMAZING.I can "blame" my wife for that. She found them on the list of performers at the faire and thought they sounded interesting because of their name--also, I think she looked them up on CZcams and listened to some of their music--plus, they're Steampunk, something she knew I liked, so she, told me, "You gotta check these guys out! They're cool and they're Steampunk robots! Right up your alley!" So we went. :-)
      Loved everything they played. The goofy stuff they did between songs, with "breakdowns" and needing to be "fixed", a robot "nurse" coming out to make quickie "repairs", the band talking about having only limited time in the Renaissance time period--they were obviously anachronisms traveling in time and space. LOL So much fun to see them in action. And the black member--I'm so sorry to have to describe that way, as I don't know his character's name--his voice is fucking astounding; he performed a song for the first time ever that he'd written, and it was GORGEOUS. Their costumes were really cool, too, lots of detail, and a lot of it looked like stuff I'd wear on pretty much a daily basis if I had it in my wardrobe. Ancient Goth over here. LOL So much fun to see them perform in person.

    Lyrics:
    Ever since the first time I opened my eyes
    I've awakened to the same thing
    Other automaton friends roughly built like me
    The first time I opened my mouth to speak
    steam escaped to the air
    and black oil dripped from my lips
    and onto the ground
    Well daylight struck a chord with my
    photo-receptors
    Night greeted me with a sea of stars
    Our eyes all flashed blues and greens
    through the night
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    People are soaring, always exploring,
    higher than they've ever been before
    But we are still down here,
    feet on the ground near
    what will rise us up with the rest
    Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,
    mechanical in nature all the time
    And pulses are firing in our head wiring,
    guiding all our actions and beings
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    I am not an unimaginable thing
    My thoughts are tangible
    though they're full of springs
    I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words
    My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth
    They say
    Oh, oh it's so down, but baby it's sound
    makes your worries cease to pound
    And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights
    for some time just to be held tight
    And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song
    one that drifts on for so long
    And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive
    and pointed up shining light to the sky
    It's just our
    Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
    Electronic
    Harmonics
    Epic and so cool
    Epic and so cool
    Epic and so cool

    Yet another sublime example of The Spine's amazing vocal range. And their harmonies are pure joy.
