There is no band, no song, no video, no sound, that is more “now” than AJR. The band — three brothers born and raised in New York City — has achieved a startling quick level of success with “I’m Ready,” a buoyant electro-pop single that’s taking off on social media. The numbers: over 1.5M views on YouTube, thousands of singles sold each week, features in Billboard, the NY Post, and on MTV. Festival performances in front of 10,000+ people.
AJR started to become popular with their track "Weak", which they wrote in a few hours and released 16th September 2016, that was made Platinum in 5 countries, including the US, and Gold in 4 more. It has more than 500 million Spotify streams.
They followed this up with their album The Click, released 9th June 2017, featuring the single Weak as well as "Drama" and "Sober Up", the latter of which features Rivers Cuomo. The album reached no. 1 on Mediabase's alternative singles chart the following year. An extended "Deluxe" version of the album was released 21st September 2018, including an acoustic version of Pretender, a track they worked on with Steve Aoki and Lil Yachty.
30th January 2019 saw the release of "100 Bad Days", which was performed on Jimmy Kimmel on 11th March (coinciding with the release of another single, "Birthday Party"), and got included on Taylor Swift's "Playlist by ME!" in May of that year. Dear Winter was released 5th April, and got a sequel, Dear Winter 2.0, on 25th October.
Neotheater was their next album. It was debuted 26th April 2019 and was possibly where the band got noticed the most, hitting number one on Billboard's Top Rock and Top Alternative charts, and 8th on the Top 200 Albums. It featured 100 Bad Days, Birthday Party, and Dear Winter.
"Bang!" came next on 13th February 2020, at first intended for a Deluxe version of Neotheater, but later integrated into their next album OK Orchestra. "Bummerland" was then released 31st August 2020. 22nd of December 2020 saw the release of My Play, 2 days after they announced OK Orchestra as an album. Then 17th February 2021 saw the release of "Way Less Sad".
OK Orchestra, often teased as OKO, was released 26th March 2021, featuring these 4 singles and a track with the Blue Man Group. Merchandise was release on the 23rd March, and a game called OKO World was released on the 21st.

AJR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To take us home
We're fine alone
Yeah
Im running out like a clock ticks running
With my head held high
And everyone's looking at me
It only seems like the dreams of a boy
Too afraid to stand up,
too afraid to make a choice for me
I can not go living that way
(Yeah)
So I,
I hold your hand and i
I hold you close
Hear my words like a song you'll be singing tonight
You'll be singing tonight
You'll be singing and it goes like
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home, we're fine alone
We'll see the world through scratched up glass just
You and me, were meant to be
In a Snowglobe
well im done with these hipocrites and love lies
Signing out of love with the passion of a robbery
As if you stole my heart away (yeah)
Im living on in a snowglobe
Looking at the outside world
You are so close i can see
What you could see in me (whoa)
I hold your hand, and I
I hold you close
Hear my words like a song
You'll be singing tonight
You'll be singing tonight
You'll be singing and it goes like
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home, we're fine alone
We'll see the world through scratched up glass just
You and me, were meant to be
In a Snowglobe
Look outside the window
Snow is falling down
But with her it makes you want to cry
And every single moment
That we've come to share
Is more vivid than the world
On the outside
Girl i swear, we'll be a dream
Forget the world and live with me
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home,
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home, we're fine alone
We'll see the world through scratched up glass just
You and me, were meant to be
In a Snowglobe
The song "Snowglobe" by AJR is a heartwarming and intimate love song. The song talks about how the two lovers don't need any fancy cars, materialistic things or outwardly possessions to make them happy. They are satisfied with each other's company and the world they have created together. The opening lyric "We don't need no flashy limo, to take us home" suggests that their love and life are simple yet fulfilling. They choose to live in their Snowglobe, where everything is perfect and serene. The Snowglobe serves as a metaphor for their love affair. The two are happy together in their little world while they have no care about what's going on outside of it.
The second stanza of the song talks about the singer's struggle to free himself from the judgments of society. He is tired of living his life to please others and wants to take control of his life. He holds his lover's hand, and together they make the best of the present moment, which is reflected in the lyrics, "We don't need no flashy limo, to take us home, we're fine alone." The chorus of the song, which repeats multiple times throughout, reiterates the theme of the song by emphasizing that they don't need materialistic things to be happy. Instead, they find joy in each other's company and feel that they are meant to be together.
Overall, the song "Snowglobe" is a beautiful love ballad that emphasizes the importance of being content with life's simple things. It sends a powerful message that happiness does not solely depend on the riches one possesses, but it's found in our relationships and the meaningful connections we make.

I feel like I'm in my own world, but with you by my side, I can see the potential you see in me and the world around us.
Look outside the window
Snow is falling down
But with her it makes you want to cry
And every single moment
That we've come to share
Is more vivid than the world
On the outside
Girl I swear, we'll be a dream
Even though the world around us is beautiful covered in snow, it's still emotional to experience it with the person you love. Every moment we spend together is more vibrant than anything on the outside. And I promise, we will be each other's dream.
Forget the world and live with me
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home,
Let's leave the rest of the world behind and focus on being together. We don't need extravagant things or possessions to make us happy.
We don't need no flashy limo
To take us home, we're fine alone
We'll see the world through scratched up glass just
You and me, were meant to be
In a Snowglobe
Again, we don't need lavish things to feel complete. Together, we'll view the world through our own perspective just like in a snowglobe, and that's all that matters.

@foxling8169
I've been a huge AJR fan for about a year now and now that I've discovered this channel this is my new favorite song
@certainpeople159
you gotta listen to more music if this is your favorite song
@EldritchVelvet

@jazzyminification
The world is a marble heart? Was released in the same ep and got onto living room
@flashingsoojin
@@jazzyminificationi think they re-recorded it for the oficial version that got into living room
@jazzyminification
@@flashingsoojin they didn’t re-record the vocals
@ananonymousbean2731
I wonder if they plan to resing their really old song- just for nostalgia's sake- this song sounds like it could use a little polishing but Id really like to hear them sing it again
@EpicNick
But if even if they did, most likely people would hate them for that since they specifically ask not to re upload their old songs, and all if the sudden AJR announces they’re remastering their old songs they would be hypocrites
