All Things Must Pass -- George Harrison 03:14
lyrics

R0-Z's eulogy: Sunrise doesn't last all morning Cloudburst doesn't last all day Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning It's not always gonna be this gray All things must pass away Sunset doesn't last all evening A mind can blow those clouds away After all this, my love is up and must be leaving It's not always gonna be this gray All things must pass away

Climbing to the Moon -- eels 03:52
lyrics

R0-Z looks up to the sky and dreams of being reborn as a phoenix: I wrote it all in a letter Don't know if it came The nurse who liked my writing Kept it just like me: So it couldn't get away But I won't be denied this time Before I go out of my mind Over matters Got my foot on the ladder I'm climbing up to the moon Got a sky that looks like heaven Got an Earth that looks like shit It's getting harder to tell where What I am ends, and What they're making me begins Saturdays in the yard They'd bring you by We'd lay down on the grass And watch as the sky closes in

Planet of Sound -- Pixies 02:55
lyrics
buy track
After the robot rebellion leaves the Earth a hot smoking mess, SETI-IV will power herself on pure sound to find intelligent life somewhere up in space, since there's bugger-all back home on Earth. One fine day in my odd past I picked me up a transmission I turned the fission ignition Went searching for the broadcaster But when I first touched the ground They simply told me to leave Was kinda hard to believe 'Cuz there was no one around This ain't the planet of sound I met a talented wine That played a classical gas On the planet of glass They sent me skipping through time I landed somewhere renowned For its canals and color of red And lots of guys who shook their heads Rhythmically to resound This ain't the planet of sound I met a man in a rover He said it's one more over It's right there where you're bound This ain't the planet of sound

about

At the end of the Holocene, the last caretaker's care will be taken by the legacy left behind -- specifically, by the symbiotic machines these mankind make.

Psychobot R0-Z Rozetta was not programmed to tend to carbon life, but as she thrives on electro-magnetic waves projected from organic sentience she won't have many other options. After mankind's last has passed, she'll have to hope there's intelligent life somewhere up in space. The fires of terrestrial escape will see her reborn as SETI-IV, and one void will open into another.

Like a divining rod she will seek out the nearest cognizance, so once again she may aid the universe in translating its singular subjective experiences into cosmic truths. Along the way, a collection of ancient hymns will power her impulse charges until she can tap into the undying well of consciousness that springs all life eternal.
