AJR

I admit I've been running
From the problems day to day
Yesterday never seemed to pass
When we look to the promise
To find what we have lost
Tomorrow never seems to last

If only I could be a richer man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll find a plan
I'm not afraid

I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the time comes to begin here
I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

I admit I've been trying to find a better home
I've wasted all this precious time
I can see you're denying with every chance you've got
You know this victory is mad

If only I could be a better man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll take your hand

I'm not afraid
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here
I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

I found a light through the shady hole (shady hole)
Where nothing lives and nothing grows (nothing grows)
I found a light that saved my soul

I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the times comes to begin here
I'll be there

I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here
I'll be there

I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way (oh yeah)
Nothing's in my way
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way

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.
