1) AM is an artist from the UK, who is a part of the drill collective 410, and one half of the duo within the collective, Skengdo X AM. Born in South London, AM is widely regarded as one of the genre's most skilled rappers, and was highly influential in advancing the genre in terms of lyricism.

2) AM is an indie rock band formed in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silverlake, California . New Album Future Sons & Daughters was produced by Charles Newman (Magnetic Fields). The band consists of founding member AM (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Michael Sawtizke (electric guitar), Mark Getten (bass), Jesse Nason and Brett Bixby (piano, organ, synths), Chris Lovejoy (percussion) and Derek Brown (drums- The Eels/ Everest).

About AM:

The lead singer and founder is "AM" whose moniker is derived from his initials. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana he brings twanging Americana, twinkling folk-rock-pop, caressing Philly soul, and funky R&B whatchacallit to the band's sound. He has drawn influences from various artists including the Beatles, Badfinger, Curtis Mayfield and Jorge Ben, and demonstrates over and again the simple fact of songwriting life: that imagination and taste is what it's all about. AM was handpicked by French duo Air to open their U.S., Canadian, and French tour and also toured with Charlotte Gainsbourg in North America in 2010. They have been compared to Wilco, Beck, and Last Shadow Puppets,

“…AM writes literate, emotionally balanced tunes that are infectious without being moronic, hip without being oh so, and pop infected without losing their edge… he is a songwriter ready to be discovered by a wider audience, an audience interested in smart and sincere songs that speak to the vastness of the human spirit.”

Future Sons & Daughters
4**** Q Magazine UK
5**** Sunday Express UK
The new album Future Sons & Daughters is a heady brew of twinkling Anglified folk-rock-pop with arguably, some of the best bridges and choruses in the bizness, that showcases AM's acute finessing ear for the ancient art of real, true songcraft. The album was produced by Charles Newman (responsible for the sounds of The Magnetic Field and who simultaneously produced AM's record and The Magnetic Field's new album) and was recorded in both Elliot Smith's old house and Wilder Studios.

The latest music video is for the single "Grand Opinion" and was directed by Blake West and shot at the beaches of Zuma and Malibu, California.

Troubled Times
AM's debut album "Troubled Times" had every song placed in a movie or television show which hasn't been done since Moby, and received a slew of other accolades including iTunes "Best Indie Album Of The Year."

Side By Side - Duets Vol. 1
This album features original tracks and two cover tunes performed with friends Meiko, Susie Suh, Julianna Raye, Buddy, Tina Dico and Rick Garcia. (5 Bonus tracks available at iTunes) In earlier reviews, AM's music has been called "mellow gold" and "Side By Side" reinforces that. The EP is worth owning if only on the strength of two of the performances - the original "A Part Of Something Missing" performed with Rick Garcia and the incredibly haunting and beautiful cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." "I'll Be Your Mirror" is a Bossa Nova gem performed with Rufus Wainwright's Julianna Raye. Gus Black (a singer/songwriter in his own right) directs AM's music video "Hear Me Sing" featuring Buddy.

Holiday Happiness & Cheer EP
AM delivers holiday music for the first time with his new EP “Holiday Happiness & Cheer”. Included is a beautifully haunting rendition of Vince Guaraldi’s “Christmas Time Is Here” (from the classic animated television Peanuts Special “A Charlie Brown Christmas”) complete with moody bossa influenced guitar, creepy synth work and McCartney style bass lines. Also included is an original song “I’m Home For The Holidays” – a spacious orchestral folk song that focuses on the somber elements of holiday time.

3) Sludge/doom metal from Finland, consisting of Mikko Aspa (Grunt, Clandestine Blaze...) and Jukka Mattila (Stumm, Throat).

4) aM (ae’m)[アム(amu)] is a 2 person unit which creates Electro beats. Their music is influenced by many styles such as Techno, House, Funk, Rock, and Electro.

It's Been So Long
AM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's right who's wrong
It doesn't matter still
It doesn't matter still
It's been so long
I don't know how you feel
I don't know how you feel

What's mine what's yours

It doesn't matter still
It doesn't matter still
Things aren't like before
I don't know how you feel
I don't know how I feel

Mercy finds us every now and then
But holes are present still
Same old story time and time again
As you sit on your hill

It doesn't matter still
It doesn't matter still

It's been so long
I don't know how you feel
I don't know how you feel

Who gives who takes
It doesn't matter still
It doesn't matter still
Don't know what to say
I don't know how I feel
I don't know how I feel

Mercy finds us every now and then
But holes are present still
Same old story time and time again
As you sit on your hill
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Who's right who's wrong
It doesn't matter still
It doesn't matter still
It's been so long

I don't know how I feel
I don't know how I feel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of AM's song "It's Been So Long" convey a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty. The opening lines "Who's right who's wrong, It doesn't matter still" suggest that the songwriter is reflecting on a situation where there is no clear answer or resolution. The repetition of the phrase "It doesn't matter still" emphasizes a feeling of apathy or resignation.

The chorus of the song, "It's been so long, I don't know how you feel, I don't know how I feel" further emphasizes this sense of confusion and detachment. The passage of time seems to have created a distance between the songwriter and the subject of the song, and they are no longer able to understand each other's emotions or perspectives.

The character of Mercy is introduced in the bridge of the song, with the lyric "Mercy finds us every now and then, but holes are present still." This suggests that even when there are moments of grace or forgiveness, there are still underlying issues or conflicts that have not been resolved.

Overall, "It's Been So Long" captures a sense of introspective melancholy, as the songwriter grapples with the complexities of a relationship that has lost its clarity and intimacy.
