AM – Tonight on MTV
TONIGHT if you are on the West Coast and Central Time Zone, AM’s new Self Preservation music video will make its MTV debut on the hit show Subterranean on Tuesday Night/ Wednesday morning, March 16th at 2 am E.S.T. (NYC Time) 11pm P.S.T. (Calfiornia Time) Shot on HD by director Blake West,
Human instincts for survival and self preservation run deep. AM wrote this song during the worst financial depression America has ever seen.
On the day of the music video shoot, AM and the band got word that Michael Jackson had passed away and they all felt the irony of shooting a video the day that the “king of videos” has died.
AM said, “With such a heavy subject matter we wanted the video to have a playful element to it. We decided to have the whole band playing “live” and juxtapose the performance against some old archival footage…. educational, government and union propaganda films from the 1950’s.”
“Self Preservation” is from AM’s new album Future Sons & Daughters produced by Charles Newman. Newman was simultaneously producing AM’s album and also The Magnetic Fields’ new album “Realism” in Los Angeles and NYC last year.
SELF PRESERVATION LYRICS
every now and then you wonder what went wrong
short-term memory sings the latest song
but over time the many lines were drawn
forcing everyone to a place where they belong
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by
friends and lovers were never approved to provide
but a parent is anyone showing you how to survive
if there’s no game then there’s no win or lose
but as it stands now it’s got to be me or you
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to survive
we know by now
it’s hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by
