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.
