I think because I am! Am I robot and/or man? Think Descartes!

Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
The Message is the story of a man that receives an interstellar message, transmitted from a dying planet that portends bad things for much of the universe including Earth. He resists, but ultimately succumbs to act on this (ala Moses or Noah). He warns and gathers people and deals with the difficulties and uncertainties of interstellar travel. And once reaching the planet, massive adaptations and transformations occur.
Lyrics
Cogito.ergo.sum W&M Ron Tintner I'm the transcript of a genome, With a positronic brain Programmed from the upload Of a man that had my name He died when he was 40, A thousand years ago He gave me an identity But did I get a soul? My parts are fully modded, To maximize the gain Super strong and smart and fast, Impervious to pain I get Herculean missions. I do them without fear But "He's just a frigging robot.." They talk... I hear Am I robot? am I a man? I had my doubts? Now I understand? Chorus: I think therefore I think therefore I think therefore I am I think therefore I think therefore I think therefore I am I think therefore I think therefore I think therefore I am I doubt therefore I think therefore I am This world would never be the way its come to be If all these things were never done to me CHORUS Tag: I doubt therefore I think therefore I am
