AM's side project creatively entitled "AM & Shawn Lee" is a collaboration with London-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee. After AM heard Lee's "Music and Rhythm" album on the radio in Los Angeles he decided to reach out to Lee on Myspace. The two became quick friends sharing a common love for 60's psychedelia and 70's Italian soundtracks. The first single from the debut album "Celestial Electric" is entitled "Dark Into Light"and was released on gold colored, limited edition 12" vinyl on the Ubiquity label in honor of Record Store Day and the full album came out on Thievery Corporation's label ESL Music (ADA Distribution/ Beggars Canada/ Naive in France.)
AM broadcasting is the process of radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation (AM). AM was the first method of impressing sound on a radio signal and is still widely used today. Commercial and public AM broadcasting is authorized in the medium wave band worldwide, and also in parts of the longwave and shortwave bands. Radio broadcasting was made possible by the invention of the amplifying vacuum tube, the Audion (triode), by Lee de Forest in 1906, which led to the development of inexpensive vacuum tube AM radio receivers and transmitters during World War I. Commercial AM broadcasting developed from amateur broadcasts around 1920, and was the only commercially important form of radio broadcasting until FM broadcasting began after World War II. This period is known as the "Golden Age of Radio". Today, AM competes with FM, as well as with various digital radio broadcasting services distributed from terrestrial and satellite transmitters. In many countries the higher levels of interference experienced with AM transmission have caused AM broadcasters to specialize in news, sports and talk radio, leaving transmission of music mainly to FM and digital broadcasters.
The following radio stations broadcast on AM frequency 630 kHz: 630 AM is a regional U.S. broadcast frequency.
If I could touch your heart
In so many ways
You'd still be here
Holding me close all through these years
When I'm all alone
I'm so insecure
Nothing's so sure
Wondering what's near
With all my tears
Calming my fears
'Cause I'm not here with you
Do you always feel
There's something unreal
Holding you back
All through those times that we have had
And didn't we almost know
This love wouldn't grow
How could we see who'd believe
It's just you and me
Sometimes I want to share my world
When lying here with you
But I just feel so numb
Just looking straight at you
I want to feel your touch
The passion's dead and gone
Your warmth is so naive
Who know's what's there to have?
With my closed hands I gave enough
Who knows what's there to heal?
Help me breathe cause I am drowning
How can I feel? There's so much pain
How could I hide? There's so much more
How could I see? You should've known
How could I go? You should've stayed
How could I go? How could I feel?
