AJR

Raven's fly up in the sky
High above the mountain
Let's take a look at a babbling brook
Rising like a fountain

Why not play us a song
With a piano in your pocket
And why not play us a tune
Before I have to go

Children sweat
Their mother's let them play out of their vision
Little do they know they have to go
For they are on a mission

Why not play us a song
With a piano in your pocket
And why not play us a tune
Before I have to go

Everyone and everything
Find a place in life
But please excuse me if I'm off the subject
Maybe I was right cause' if you
Happen to find a lonely place
With nowhere to go but down

Take me there I'll help them with myself
I think this is just a kiss
Waiting for the moment
You can't rush what can't be touched
You can't change the past

Why not play us a song
With a piano in your pocket
And why not play us a tune
Before I have to go

(Piano in your pocket)
Before I have to go (In your pocket)
Before I have to go

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.
