Charlie Harrison Wow what can I say? Great album! Mr. Robinson has it all: killer hooks, great lyrics, dreamy soundscapes. I laughed. I cried. I eargasmed. Favorite track: Realign.

Oliver Friedman Sing Myself to Sleep is a testament to the range of Mr. Robinson's ample talent. From the pure shredding on "Better Man" to the contemplative "Forgive Me Still," this album's note-bendingly detailed production has me coming back time and again. Mr. R's creativity is a surefire addition to our collective guitar lexicon -- and did I mention the man plays piano, too? Give it a listen, and take part in a grand celebration of what binds us all together: love, compassion, and some truly groovy music. Favorite track: Hideout.

Midnights Walking past streetlights Hoping that my life Can find its way home Seems like My thoughts just don't feel right But now it's just me I Don't even know My cares are falling like the leaves I slowly sing myself to sleep Monday Starts off in a bad way Can't make me say Why it feels wrong Late May No leaves in the driveway The feeling won't go away Still lingers on My cares had fallen like the leaves I slowly sang myself to sleep My cares are falling like the leaves I slowly sing myself to sleep

Time of Love 03:22
Wrote a song trying to use every word but your name You don't even hear what I say Sit back like you think it's just another tune "Don't know much music but I like the groove" Thinking back on the day and I'm looking for quotes Reading through things that you wrote Wish you knew how much I agree with you Act surprised when you say it like I never knew When will my time of love And your precious time match up? Catch your eye on the street when I'm walking to work Pretend I don't notice that smirk Don't know why you make things difficult Got me waiting for some kind of miracle Go to sleep trying to conjure up the words that you'd say To tell me it'd all be okay Don't you know you're like a special cure for me? Dream about the kind of couple that I think we'd be To see that this time I love Will be special time for us All this time let's suppose that I'm wrong My infatuation wasted all along But just one time let's pretend that I'm right We can discover our future tonight When will my time of love And your precious time match up? To see that this time I love Will become the time of us

Better Man 04:15
Got a list of questions I just can't ignore Like what exactly we've become And if you're really with someone All the times you wish that there were something more Cause every time you laugh You look off just like a child All those thoughts that you keep inside You lock down, cover up, and hide Girl you know that that's what's making me go wild Wanna be a better man for you Gonna find the sweetest song that I can sing There's no treat in the world I could buy That would match your fire inside Spreading out, lighting up, and burning me You say you've settled down Wrote off your deep desires But while you guys copy the twee And cliché couples on TV I'm not giving up on placing our love higher You know I'd be a better man for you So you better tell him now what he can't see That there's no check in the world he could write That would make him seem alright So I hope you wisen up and tell your boy to leave And get something better baby Gonna be a better man for you Gonna find the sweetest song that I can sing There's no treat in the world I could buy That would match your fire inside Spreading out, lighting up, and burning me Cause I'd be a better man for you So you better tell him now what he can't see Ain't no check in the world he could write That would make that man alright So you better get on up and tell his ass to leave

Realign 03:01
Adam was nineteen Always played his six string Only girl he never knew Wasn't any room for two Sarah was twenty-four Everything you need and more A girl that if he'd ever found He'd rearrange his life around Isn't it odd? Making matches in his head, taking steps at playing God It's just fine Got her in his life, he just has to realign She was in the back of the show How it worked he'd never know but Seemed that all the riffs and lights Brought him to this time of night Couple weeks took their course Under her magnetic force Melodies dull compared to Her just being there Isn't it odd? Making matches in his head, taking steps at playing God It's just fine Got her in his life, he just has to realign But that night when she was left there all alone He revisited his former love with clear, majestic tone In the wake of seeing light fall on her face He found music not replacing but just doubling her grace Thought he'd do something good Took her out to the woods Told her how he'd always felt and How she'd always made him melt She said, "Well okay. What do you want me to say?" He said, "All you can do is Let me play a song for you" Isn't it odd? Making matches in his head, taking steps at playing God It's just fine Got her in his life, he just has to realign Isn't it odd? Making matches in his head, taking steps at playing God It's just fine Got her in his life, this happens all the time

One-sided conversation All the things I'd never say Picks up my heart And runs away If you felt the way I felt I would drop everything else for you And I will before What I have in store for you and me How many people's dream seem so fickle Spending time by your side You and me, by the sea We'll be happy Broken hearted, broken faces Everything in different places Everything I wanna be Messes with my personality One-sided conversations All the things I'd never say Picks up my heart And runs away How many people's dream seem so fickle Spending time by your side You and me, by the sea We'll be happy (x2)

Hideout 04:34
Do you want to know my favorite place to hideout Somewhere you won't find by any sign or lighthouse You don't need to book a flight Or even stay overnight Everything'll be alright, just don't make a sound Finjamos que este mundo es pequeno Solo necesitamos nuestro sueno We can stay in all day Watch the time pass away People'll say what they say, but only we'll know Pillows stacking high above creates our fortress Making sure the uninvited guests don't join us Pull the sheets over my head Laugh at everything you said You and me laying in bed becomes a chorus We'll run away one of these days But tonight it's alright To just stay

Frozen Over 04:30
I saw the text you got while we were by the restaurant bathroom Guess you'll tell me soon enough I'd always thought we'd solve our problems as we came to them but I know communication's tough Was it the things I said when I had actually cared about them That I became a joke to you Was it that time I didn't want your friend to stay in my room That's not something I usually do I can't blame you But also I can't even understand Crafting a future Besides the one that you and I had planned I hate that now you have to act like I was bad to you Ailment leaving you uncured Your characters, they don't just vanish when you tell them to But, guess you're writing your own world Take a month to fill the list of things to yell about Take a month to change my mind Paint a smile on just wide enough to cover my mouth To make up for all the lost time I can't hate you For going somewhere you wanted to be, but New England frozen over Is trapping me in weight up to my knees One day the ice'll melt and break away and Show all the scars I earned along the way, just Hope someone likes the looks of my new face

In the still of night's embrace Bending time to find a space Tired, lost, or still distraught? Speak aloud to hear my thoughts Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me still Gardens I refuse to sow Pray they somehow still will grow All the things that I ignore Show me how I could do more Love of mine I have not kept Covered faces as we wept Hiding from the world's demands Pray to help me understand Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me still Steady shaking I should know Wake to sleep and take it slow. When tomorrow's day begins, Will you still forgive me then?
