I love Billy, anything he does is great, but this is one of his best, I believe. You know he loves his hometown. And there is s state of mind for NY. No other place on earth like it....NY ROCKS and so does Baltimore MD and Charlotte NC. Still NY is the only place to be.
i live in chicago but i go to new york every summer and i love it, it really is the best city at least that i have been to. also i love this song (and piano man) billy joel forever!
also i saw him at shea stadium he was amazing! :D
I've always loved this song and have been listening to it since was little. I know all the words by heart and sing along, or just on my own... such beautiful song...
I was in line at FYE with like, three other people my age. The first had Lady Gaga, the second had Big Time Rush and the third had Enrique Iglacias. I was the only one with Billy Joel. I was proud.
“When you leave New York, you ain't goin' nowhere”
Feel so fortunate to live close enough to new york to experience it for myself..everybody needs to visit at least once in their life or you haven't lived.
Ney York is the best The richest in history... If you want a historical trip for you and your children.... plan a trip to new york. There are so many things to see and do.
@Haxd4x yeah, well, i live in new york, so i think it might be better that where u live? have u even ever been there? i love it. most beautiful thing in the world.
have you ever heard a song and it brought back memories? well this song is bringing tears to my eyes. =') thanks billy joel! and to the makes of this song!
Every time I go home to visit, the moment I cross the border into NY, I pop this song into the CD player and blast it.....this and Allentown are my two biggest favorites.
LONG LIVE NEW YORK!!!!!......The biggest and most popular city on the planet!!! There is no place like New York!!! Miss my hometown everyday!!............
@timbodaclown You're right, Tokyo is the biggest but not the most popular..nobody is in a rush to go there like people like to go to NY...but Yes it has the most people....NY being second
@jazzinjj actually, last year in my geography class, over half the students wanted to go to Tokyo. then you have to count all the otaku who think of Tokyo as their Mecca. And, by the way, NYC isn't the second largest city. Seoul, South Korea, is.
We are singing this in music class and after listening to this we suck lol :P
