AJR

In the town that never sleeps
Lullabies of traffic beeps
Soaring silver skyline by the peers

There's a place I know well
Just south of kitchen's hell
The blaring sirens seem to disappear

So look out on these cobblestones
Just one more time
Watching all the passers by
Their purses and their ties

One more look around this place
Before you have to go (before you have to go)
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets

Local kids wearing black
Standing at the subway track
The tourists wearing every other shade
Staring out towards the shore
No one listens anymore
The melody
The stunning river paints

So look out on these cobblestones
Just one more time
Watching all the passers by
Their purses and their ties

One more look around this place
Before you have to go (before you have to go)
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets

Where the men hold hands in the silent night
And the grass is greener than the traffic lights
And the rain makes empty streets
And where the city hides to drift asleep

Where the men hold hands in the silent night
And the grass is greener than the traffic lights
And the rain makes empty streets
And where the city hides to drift asleep

I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets

In the town that never sleeps
Lullabies of traffic beeps
Soaring silver skyline by the peers

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
