See what Rolling Stone had to say about the new “Promises Are Never Far From Lies” remix by Thievery Corporation’s Rob Garza.
los angeles show review
“The level musicianship is beyond impressive, it’s fascinating. It isn’t something you see too often these days. A pretty common question I get is, “what’s the last great show you saw?” I have a feeling that the combination of AM, Shawn Lee, Brett Bixby on keys and Pete McNeal on drums will be the answer for a long time.”- Audio Absinthe

CITY BOY
Lyrics written by AM
sit in back rows
with nothing to say
born into headphones
running away
you needed someone
to turn you around
you couldn’t make it alone
come get what you wanted
there’s nothing denied
you’re at the center
of everyone’s eye
places we’re going
you wouldn’t believe
you are my ultimate prize
in the light
city boy is blind
wanted for your style
silly boy you
now you’ll be my lady
living in my city
i’m waiting now my lady
it’s time for you to pay your dues
in the light
city boy is blind
wanted for your style
i’m waiting for you
you
