The first RTR demos were recorded on a $10 hand recorder, and, out of curiousity to see how well the songs would do, were posted on a small, unknown MySpace music profile. Slowly, people began to take notice, and soon the profile began to fill with plays and friend requests. Inspired, Jon began to write even more songs, and soon enough found himself in the recording studio, laying down tracks for what would soon become Reboot The Robot's debut EP "Nothing, Something, Everything".
Many studio hours and a few hundred bucks later, "Nothing, Something, Everything" was released to online retailers on July 14th, 2009, to overwhelmingly positive reviews and praise. Fans reacted well to the album, and soon there was demand for another EP release. Digging through older, unfinished songs as well as new ones, the framework was laid for what would become Reboot The Robot's sophomore effort, "When All We Have".
Recorded at Blind Dog Audio in Longmont, CO, and produced by Kevin King, "When All We Have" has become a hit among fans since its release on December 1st, 2009. The EP spawned many new fan-favorite tracks, including "Deception Is What The World Calls Romance" and "Not Giving In". As an added bonus, fans that purchase "When All We Have" on RTRmusic.com will also receive 2 free Reboot The Robot Buttons, as well a free signing of the EP.
Currently, Reboot The Robot is taking off time from writing new music to focus on an untitled covers album. This new covers album has a tenative release for summer 2010. A full band debut is targeted for a late fall/winter 2010 release.
Real Tonight
Reboot The Robot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I come near
I hold on to you, and my hands
Disappear.
Your heart is beating much too fast
The feel of your lips,
Pressed against mine,
The touch of our fingers as
Oh God I'm so lost in you.
Please make this real tonight (x2)
Oh God I'm worked up so tight.
Please make this real tonight.
The sweat on your body,
It drips on me.
And I am thrown into ecstacy.
You are what makes me complete.
The pull of your hands
Upon my back...
I look in your eyes
And you smile back.
This is what I've waited for.

Your body trembles
When I approach you, I sense a slight shiver going through your body.
As I come near
Every time I move towards you.
I hold on to you, and my hands
When I embrace you tightly, my hands instinctively go into hiding.
Disappear.
I get so lost in the moment that I forget about everything else.
Your heart is beating much too fast
You are so overwhelmed by what is happening that your heartbeats are abnormally rapid.
The feel of your lips,
The sensation of your soft lips touching mine.
Pressed against mine,
Being pushed against my lips.
The touch of our fingers as
The physical connection of our hands as they come together.
They're intertwinded...
Our fingers are interlocked, creating an unbreakable bond.
Oh God I'm so lost in you.
I am fully absorbed in this moment with you.
Please make this real tonight (x2)
I hope that this time is not just a dream and that you feel the same way.
Oh God I'm worked up so tight.
I am incredibly nervous and excited at the same time.
The sweat on your body,
The perspiration covering your skin.
It drips on me.
Your sweat falls on me.
And I am thrown into ecstacy.
My pleasure reaches its peak upon feeling your sweat on me.
You are what makes me complete.
You are the missing piece that completes me.
The pull of your hands
The force with which you hold onto me.
Upon my back...
Your hands are clasped tightly around my back.
I look in your eyes
When I gaze into your eyes.
And you smile back.
You match my gaze with a warm and welcoming smile.
This is what I've waited for.
This is the moment that I have been looking forward to my whole life.
