These songs can be heard on XM Sattellite Radio, the WB Show "High School Reunion"... also on KCRW Los Angeles 89.9FM... The song "Miracle" is featured in the upcoming film "Elvis Has Left the Building" starring Kim Basinger.

rachel robinson had had enough. so she started writing songs. "all my life i had kept a journal. journals are kind of a bummer because you get it all out, write it all down and then it just sits in the dark, waiting to get re-read in some nostalgic moment, only to get stuffed back on the dark and lonely bookshelf having accomplished nothing but poking at old wounds. songs are the ticket. you see, you write a song about what or who you think is the subject... then the song flies away and takes on a life of its own, it touches other people with connective truths you may have never intended, you can take liberties with songs, fictionalize these stories, exaggerate, lie, whatever... then it turns out that the 'subject' is actually only the 'object', and by exploring that object the subject, yes THE subject, is revealed. transformative stuff. and the ultimate playground. songs come from pain, songs come from joy, songs come from nowhere is the actual truth. the fact that they come at all is a f***ing miracle. i don't keep a journal anymore."
