One day, maybe someday
I’ll be so out of touch
I’ll become a trumpet or a drumset
In a sad orchestra
One day, maybe someday
In a world speeding up
It’s getting hard, so very hard to keep up

One day, maybe someday
I’ll be so out of touch
I’ll become a trumpet or a drumset
In a sad orchestra
One day I won’t know what to write
And I can’t be eighteen my whole life
But I’m too fucking young
To feel so fucking old
But I’ll try and I’ll try and I’ll try
But I’m not dead yet
So I guess I’ll be alright

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.
