More Love From NYC


An ode to NYC, written and spoken by Allan Fair. Taking over my Mental Health and Alzheimer's related podcast with this special 9/11/21 post.  #NeverForget #SpokenWord #9/11 #MentalHealth


Been here since '98


.com boomin’


City is moving


Used to see Dicaprio at a club called Life


He’d be groovin


But that was a different life


Y2K came and went


.com bust Web 1.0 descent


Twin Towers down


Shout from the wreckage


WE HEAR YOU!


And the city echoed back


And rebuilt our hearts, and bodies and buildings


New generations, new city children


New wars, new fears, far away, but the soul of the city, always here


Eli to Tyreee


Ohhhhhh-baby...Victory


 


Great Recession of 2008


SARS, Sandy, Swine flu


There’s a lot this city’s lived through


Lotta ghosts that walk these streets


Burroughs, Bowie, Bourdain, Lennon, Ledger, Jackie O, Greta Garbo


And we gonna add some ghosts, 


But this city will never be a ghost town


Because we don’t spend too much time lookin down


These streets have always been dirty


But this city’s condition


Has always been about ambition,


Reaching high for the sky,


New York City


Beacon to the world in good times and bad


We shout from these spires that scrape the sky above


In at time when the world has so many questions


The answer from New York is always more love.
