i just watched a clip of her performing this live and as usual she managed to sing better with just a piano and no sound studio or back up singers or anything
@WtsmyUsername I think this song has maybe saved my life. I have reason to live. I was very depressed for along time and had some very dark thoughts. This song has helped me soo much!!! Anything is possible!!!!!
you know whoever lives in nyc is the luckiest person on the earth. i myself live in staten island 30 min from lower manhattan where my dad owns a successful restaurant. its the best place to live it puts u in the greatest mood. i love tribeca<3
1 day ago when you are reading thid do not stop or else something bad will happen! (sorry about this) this girl's name is summer, she is 15 years old and has blonde hair,many scars, and she has no ears. she is dead. if you don't copy this to more than 5 videos, she will appear one dark quiet night when you are not expecting it beside your bed with a knife and going to kill you. this is no joke. if you send this on 5 more videos something good will happen to you
@jugoolick2006 Well my parents are from Denmark and my whole family lives here.. My dad moved to NY 10 years ago to make a career and now when he's made his goal he wanted to go back :'( But i'm glad that they teached me to speak danish! makes things easer, but when i get older i move back promise!
@miseryrawwr Everytime we play this, my bandmates were wondering why am I laughing everytime my vocalist sings the chorus. I should've never read your comment! LOL!!!
Normally I'm a Metallica fan, but sometimes I need to hear some relaxing music. When I'm tired, and I got home from work, I listen to this song, while I'm laying in my bed :)
this version is like telling you to slow down and enjoy new york for what it has to offer, while as to the one with jay z its telling you to explore and just live
I was last year in New York City and when in listen this song i remember to the time in the Big City. This City is Big, is unique and it was great to walk over the Avenues and look up to the Skyscrapers. Hope i can back soon :)
i actually like this better than the one with jay-z, im not much of a fan of his anyway. but i visited new york for the first time back in xmas 08, memories ill hold wit me for life. beautiful city.
@hugobienvenu I just wanna move back. Just moved to this stupid little country named Denmark. baaah i needs the city that never sleeps, the fashion, the energy!
@jugoolick2006 you think Denmark is a stupid little country??? tell you what I live in Germany.....That's a stupid country I think ! Every single day I'm asking myshelf the same question...WHY?? why god why do I have to live here?? I will imigrate to NY <3 I don't feel like I'm home here...:(
Took my mom to New York several years ago to see the broadway play Color Play. I remember people not being friendly and the cab drivers driving like crazy. New York is a cool city, but I would not want to live there.
@lostMopp I just got back from NYC this Friday. I HATED to come back to DFW. I wanna be back in NYC. It's the second greatest city in the world to me; Jerusalem is #1. NYC is far beyond exciting. Times Square is comparable to opening the door in Wizard of Oz and seeing everything larger than life and blasting with color. I hope to one day live in NYC. This version is so haunting and big, how can anyone not love it? Definitely better than with Jay-Z as it has more emotion and romance this way.
@jebi789 k, jayz is not stupid. he is actually very successful and one of the richest in the music industry. you cannot claim someone to be stupid. if anything only stupid choices; not stupid.
yeah so fuck you people,not bad,but still with Jay-z better,font even answer,just fuck you with your opinion,the might be both good,but with jay-z it isn as worse
I never been in New York but when i'm listening this song i can feel the smell of New York's air, i can see all the lights of the streets and the people across them...
