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).

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.
Formed in Tokyo, Japan in 2001. The group consists of Hiroaki Kanai and Kōdai Tazawa.

Live A Lie
AM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There’s nothing but pain
And I’m giving nothing back
That you gave
My house is crowded now
And I just can’t convey
Just how much you meant to me
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
Now you found an open place
Where you wanted to be
And there’s nothing better than
What you need
And all those lonely eyes
Keep searching the streets
To find the things you gave to me
And you take
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
And you take
A little time
Those mistakes
You know they were mine
And all the plans
That we made
Turned to stone
Walking away to live a lie
Walking away to live a lie
Walking away to live a lie
The opening lines of the song "Live A Lie" by AM's indicate a sense of agony within the singer's life. The world around the singer is filled with pain, and he has been unable to reciprocate the love that his partner had given him in the past. The singer's current situation is presented as a crowded house where he is not able to adequately communicate how much his partner had meant to him. The lines "And I'm giving nothing back that you gave" suggests that the singer has failed to reciprocate the love that was shown to him in the past.
The second verse of the song indicates that the singer's partner has found a new place where they wanted to be, which is better for them than their previous life with the singer. Meanwhile, the singer is left with nothing but the fragments of their past relationship with his partner. The lines "To find the things you gave to me" portray a sense of longing and regret that the singer experiences after their partner has left him.
The lyrics of "Live A Lie" are poetic in nature, and they tell a story of a relationship that has ended due to the singer's inability to appreciate and reciprocate the love given to him. The song is about regret and how one's choices can lead to irrevocable consequences. The last two lines of the song, "Walking away to live a lie," suggest that the singer is aware that his past choices have led to him living a lie, a life that is not authentic to his true self.

"alive (it's a lie) "
Pictures on the wall
Swear they're all getting grayer
Don't feel a thing at all
But no one's even aware cuz
I just try to smile
Through all the pain
"How you been?"
"Oh I'm doing great"
But please don't
Ask me to promise
Cuz If I were honest
A lie it's a lie
I may look happy
But I swear that I'm
Dying on the inside
Survive survive
I don't know the last time I felt truly alive
I spend way too much time
Laying in my bed
Cuz I don't wanna deal with my life
Ohhh
A lie it's a lie
I just wanna feel alright
Sleep in
'Till afternoon
But I still wake up tired
Don't know
What else to do
I feel so uninspired and
Finding motivation never works
Every day feels a little worse
So I just pretend I'm okay
When all I want to say is
A lie it's a lie
I may look happy
But I swear that I'm
Dying on the inside
Survive survive
I don't know the last time I felt truly alive
I spend way too much time
Laying in my bed
Cuz I don't wanna deal with my life
Ohhh
A lie it's a lie
I just wanna feel alright
