FAWM: "Mr. Robot Plays the Ukulele"

Mr. Robot Plays the Ukulele

Liner Notes

February 2nd, 2025, marks World Ukulele Day. To celebrate, as I do every year, I tried to combine my lo-fi post-apocalyptic songs with the ukulele. This is how the song "Mr. Robot Plays the Ukulele" came to be. I hope you enjoy listening to it.

Lyrics

Mr. Robot Plays the Ukulele

I dreamed yesterday of the future
Maximum post-apocalypse
Tin, steel robots
They took care of us tenderly

They read us books, said goodnight
They patted our heads, did the shopping
They played the ukulele and cooked deliciously
They were our best people

Mr. Robot, Mr. Robot
Play quietly for me and sing
About the end of the world as we know it
About love from funny romantic movies

Once again, repeat
Once again, repeat

I woke up happy
I was no longer worried about destruction
I had dreams again
And I believed in friendship

Tin souls and processors
Safety and complete trust
A robot that is a therapist
Takes out the trash and makes coffee

Mr. Robot, Mr. Robot
Play quietly for me and sing
About the end of the world as we know it
About love from funny romantic movies

Once again, repeat
Once again, repeat

Mr. robot, mister robot
Play softly to me and sing
About the end of the world as we know it
About love from funny romantic movies

Once again, repeat
Once again, repeat

Tell me softly
That it will be a beautiful day
Smile beautifully
And take my hand, take

Mr. robot, mister robot
Play softly to me and sing
About the end of the world as we know it
About love from funny romantic movies

Once again, repeat
Once again, repeat

This was awesome. The video must be A.I. generated?
Lovely singing and again, I really dig the lofi elements. Terrific music a delightful treat.

This is amazing. I love Mr Robot. I love the tune, but mostly it has a very confusing-on-purpose Mr Robot vibe. Like, it has that vulnerable-he's-fooling-himself-and-he-knows-it thing that is the essence of why anyone loves Mr Robot.

This all goes together well, catchy chorus and lyrics are descriptive.

Here from Tumblr, love the song and the style.

@bradbrubaker 2w

Great production over all. The center warbly strummed section transitions well into the wide spread more synthy backing. Great singing, too.

Loving it, intro too, cool textures in it while very vocal forward, but I gotta say it’s all blended just right, playing with the rhythm in ..I mean, I kinda just freaking love it!
