Growing Old on Bleecker StreetAJR

Released: October 16, 2013

Songwriter: Ryan Met Jack Met Adam Met

Producer: Ryan Met

[Verse 1: Ryan]
No point in dreaming if you’re alone
No point in walking without the road
No point in crying without that someone there beside you
Saying it will be okay

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan]
I'll take my time
I'll take my time
You cannot rush
What can’t be timed
And it's tough believing
There's someone living out there
Happier than me
Happier than me

[Chorus: Jack]
We may be lost, and gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry, we cry together
Like it was meant to be

[Verse 2: Adam]
I woke up last night from a dream
That we'd grow old on Bleecker Street
Sit by the fire and I'd play my guitar
But dreams are only dreams

[Verse 3: Ryan]
And then I wonder when we leave
Will the moon still be white
And the river green
Sometimes I wonder if we matter at all
If we're not written down
Who will remember now?

[Chorus: Jack]
We may be lost, and gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry, we cry together
Like it was meant to be

[Outro]
We may be lost, and gone forever
The rain will wash our memory
But when we cry, we cry together
Like it was meant to be

AJR

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.
