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

boundaries on greys anatomy tonight
September 22nd, 2011 — 3:14pm
Brad Gordon and I wrote this song Boundaries originally for the movie Twilight but alas it did not make it into the soundtrack…almost but not quite. You can hear it tonight on the 2 hour season premiere of Greys Anatomy. Check it out here now at www.itunes.com/am or http://bit.ly/ambound
BOUNDARIES
I try not to see the warning
Hide the worry across my face
And you still hold me
My mind is a violent ocean
Between love and what others say
Could they know me
Oooooohhhh
Oooooohhhh
Is it safe to remove our boundary
Will the road be built for two
Would I be lonely
Is this an historic story
Together, our bodies blue
Or will you own me
Ooooooohhhh
Ooooooohhhh
You still hold me
Could they know me
I’ll be lonely (my mind is an ocean)
Will you own me (my love will hold me)
You still hold me (hold me)

kexp song of the day
August 8th, 2011 — 12:13pm
Dark Into Light is Seattle’s KEXP’s Song Of The Day
What they say:
“The resulting pool of creative inspiration blends influences from pop, soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian tropicalia, Turkish psychedelia, and soundtracks and library music from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s into a melodic blend of electro-soul that would make even the most hardened hipsters bob their heads. Today’s featured song, “Dark into Light,” most immediately calls to mind a more upbeat Thom Yorke, with a grimy bass over light percussion and gentle but empassioned vocals, strung together with gliding synth swirls and pads.”- Nick Heinlein, KEXP
New album Celestial Electric coming soon.
