New york city, where dreams come true. No city can match up to NYC. Every street, every avenue is magical here. Its the city that never sleeps. <3 Im proud to be a New Yorker. New York is amazing. U will find people from every corner of the world, and thats what creates the passion and magic here. Legoo New York

[Futur3Pr0mQu33n]

When I turn 18, I'm moving to New York and hope to make it on Broadway. When I get there, I'm going to sing this song.

[peace2turtles]

I like this song because it describes myself! I am at auditions for broadway nearly everyday. It's a dream come true!!!

Thank you Alicia for the dream. (;

[dw6470]

IN NEEEW YOORK

LIFE IS A TWO WET DREAM TOMATOOO

[babie431]

i love the part at 3:00!!!

[roseannemee]

When I grow up, I want to go to New York, I want to have a job as a teacher there. This won't stay a dream. Not when I've dreamt this for as long as I remember, I'm going to make it a reality.

[QueenVeeEe]

@busboysanalogy its the idea that matters, not the city itself. Its like a dream, a hope that tons of people hold in their heart y'know?  Theres the Wall street which i think EVERYONE knows what it means, i dont know how many kids in my school DREAMS about it. and the metropolitan art museum, like comon, after WWII, its been the world CENTER for the art scene. I went there in June and holy crap you can just see Andy Warhol photographs and Damien Hirst work hanging in shopping windows!

[WaddisTheSnake]

@busboysanalogy I don't think she's talking about any particular idea, actually. I'm not a Jay-Z fan, but I can certainly appreciate that he was singing about HIS New York, whereas Alicia Keys is singing about generalities. It's a pretty song, but it may as well be Little Orphan Annie singing with Daddy Warbucks.

[pitje20minei]

I like to scream " NEW YOOOOHOOORK!"

[marumjcr9]

it must be great to from new york

[evilhawk47136]

Wheres jay-z?

greetings from dublin ireland!!

[KayleyJadeee]

does anybody realise that this song is actually about the 9/11 attacks..?

[missmopox]

@KayleyJadeee is it ???? how ...

[missmopox]

@KayleyJadeee i thought its bout osmeone making it to new york and trying to ge their dream ...... :S am i just stupid?

[KayleyJadeee]

@missmopox im not sure how, i got told its about the 9/11 attacks so i looked it up on Wikipedia and it said it is, but i dont get how:/

[Slytherinsrule316]

@KayleyJadeee i don't particularly get how this version is about 9/11 either but it is a brilliant song. In the Jay-Z version however there's a lyric "long live the World Trade" i can't remember the lyrics before or after it though. both versions are AWESOME
