After writing and recording their first EP as AM Aesthetic in 2009, "(AM)bivalence", they began to scour the internet looking for a drummer. Fellow Connecticut native RJ Dowhan perfectly filled the bill. RJ caught the music bug from his two older brothers, one of whom played the drums. Being that the drum kit was set up lefty, RJ learned to play it as such, despite being right-handed. AM Aesthetic came to NYC, and 2012 saw them recording their second EP “Waiting in the Wings.” Their top-flight musicianship (Rob’s credits include guitars on Beyonce’s latest “Best Thing I Never Had”) and their energetic and fun live shows drew the attention of BHiMG.
Two singles and video pre-releases were announced to local press (“We Caught Fire” November 2013 and “The End” March 2014) and garnered fan and industry attention. Under BHiMG and distributed through Caroline, the singles will be re-released, along with focus single, “I Can Tell”. Rob (a pro, independent engineer hired by Sony, Universal, Interscope, RCA, et.al. for their premiere artists), tracked the record, drums were recorded at Mission Sounds (Oliver Strauss), and mixed/mastered by fellow engineer Jeremy Cimino (Pharrell Williams, Mariah Carey, et.al.). The album was co-produced by the band under the guidance of their label, BHi Music Group. Also, AM Aesthetic has two tracks featured as focus singles on a singles compilation of emerging bands from New York called “From The Rabbit Hole” which is available digitally and on vinyl (October, 2014).
AMA recently performed in three CMJ 2014 Week showcases, "The Red Door" and “The Climax Showcase,” (The Cutting Room, with Fenech Soler, Fifth of Bourbon, Stone Foxes, Jon and the Jones)., and AMA's "We Caught Fire" has secured a sync placement and the closing title of an upcoming full-length feature film, "Love Addict," a romantic comedy.
Weightless
AM Aesthetic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You cast your stone into a shallow wake
That beckons to the sky and wind to change
To be at home again among the titans
But first sent to the coastline to remind us
Pre Chorus:
You're learning that the bright lights come and go
For all the trouble that you've come to know
But never saw it coming while you stumbled down the road
Chorus:
For every hopeful word I dare to speak
There's a whole new world, of endless questioning
Are we weightless, or will we sink into the sea?
Are we fading, or have we reached the point
Of nowhere else to be?
Verse:
A speck of stone left rolling on the beach
A vessel never worthy of the sea
Low and behold all we've ever done is that which we were told
If fate was a lie then we're waiting on an ocean from a desert sky
Pre Chorus:
You're learning that the bright lights come and go
Wishing that the good nights were the antidote
For all the trouble that you've come to know
But never saw it coming while you stumbled down the road
Chorus:
For every hopeful word I dare to speak
There's a whole new world, of endless questioning
Are we weightless, or will we sink into the sea?
Are we fading, or have we reached the point
Of nowhere else to be?
Bridge:
Are We Weightless X4
Chorus:
For every hopeful word I dare to speak
There's a whole new world, of endless questioning
Are we weightless, or will we sink into the sea?
Are we fading, or have we reached the point
Of nowhere else to be?
The first verse of AM Aesthetic's song "Weightless" sets the tone for the overall message of the song. The "stone" represents a burden that the singer is casting off into a "shallow wake" that "beckons to the sky and wind to change." This line represents the idea of letting go of old baggage and moving forward with an open mind. The singer then references "titans," which could imply a sense of being small in comparison to something greater. This is followed by a reference to the "coastline," which represents a moment of reflection and the need to pause before moving forward.
In the pre-chorus, the singer acknowledges the cyclical nature of life's ups and downs. They mention the "good nights" and suggest that they are not a permanent solution to any issue. The line "but never saw it coming while you stumbled down the road" implies that sometimes the answers we seek come out of nowhere, and we must be open to unexpected lessons.
The chorus then poses a series of questions that encapsulate the overall theme of the song. The idea of being "weightless" or sinking into the sea represents the sense of being adrift in life. The lyrics suggest that there are endless questions and uncertainties, but the singer doesn't offer any answers, leaving room for the listener to make their own interpretations.
Overall, "Weightless" is a song about the human search for meaning and purpose. The lyrics suggest that life is full of questions, and answers may not be clear or immediate, but the act of questioning and seeking is what gives us value and direction.
Line by Line Meaning
You cast your stone into a shallow wake
You have made a small impact in the world
That beckons to the sky and wind to change
But that impact has the potential to bring about change
To be at home again among the titans
You aspire to be like great leaders and heroes
But first sent to the coastline to remind us
But first you must learn a lesson and share it with others
You're learning that the bright lights come and go
You are beginning to understand that success is not constant
Wishing that the good nights were the antidote
You long for the comforts of a better future
For all the trouble that you've come to know
You have experienced many hardships
But never saw it coming while you stumbled down the road
But you didn't anticipate the struggles on your journey
For every hopeful word I dare to speak
Even when you express optimism, uncertainty lingers
There's a whole new world, of endless questioning
There is always something new to ponder and discover
Are we weightless, or will we sink into the sea?
Do we have the ability to overcome challenges or will they overcome us?
Are we fading, or have we reached the point
Do we continue to diminish or have we hit a turning point?
Of nowhere else to be?
Is this the end or the beginning of a journey?

As someone with a fractured wrist this actually helps me when I can't lift weights or anything over 5lbs. It DOES help with toning but no one said you'd gain muscle from it
Moist Towelettes
@Etika losing weight does not focus on any part of the body
Armaan Khan
There is NO SUCH things as toning. You either grow the muscle or you don't.
