And probably because I listened to LCD Soundsystem's song "New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down":
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't please don't change a thing
Don't please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
But you're freaking me out
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
Where I'd happily drown
And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
I've been to New York 3 times, and each time was different(1st time was Father/Daughter trip. 2nd above. 3rd with Anna Banana) The picture above is my second time on our Senior '04 trip to New York and we look like a bunch of idiots on the freezing boat circling around the Statue of Liberty. My eyes are closed and I have too much tanner on. Nevertheless, New York I love you too.
So, on this list, only Berlin remains to be seen for me, but there are a few cities that I would prefer to visit before. Take London, for instance. So, Berlin, maybe next year?
i have never been to new york but i really wish i chould go sometime! :)
