Man...I remember being an 18 year old boy fresh out of school (in London) and going into my first real job but having an uncontrolable urge to travel the world and experience all the beauty it had had to offer. I grew up on A.Keys' music (diary was/still is my jam) and one day as I was driving to work, this song came on the radio. It was a sign, I booked a one way ticket to the big apple on my lunch break and left the following week, all on my own. I was nervous as hell but I'lll never forget getting in the cab from JFK Airport, driving into the city and seeing the NYC skyline for the first time and in that moment - this song came on the radio, again. It was like message from above saying yo - welcome to the rest of your life! I had always dreamt of seeing New York and this song gave me the strngth to get the hell out of my small town in England and experience my dreams. So because of this song, I'm forever greatful and indebted to Alicia Keys!
@@au-ni6ejsas I think .. like me .. he wants the rest of the story ... what happened? did you make it? did you stay? how did you make a living? Just curious . It's an interesting story!
Her voice in this song is absolutely beautiful, she is so pure and crisp when she starts belting out the chorus and then has that really faint raspiness that kicks in that just hits you. And then you have the great voices of the backup singers, just awesome!
I'm an old ass man and though I may never see New York in my lifetime, I feel this song in my soul and I will belt it out at the top of my lungs till the day I leave this wonderful place
I live in North Jersey, since 14 years ago, 30min from NYC, and I have spent a good part of my life in the states visiting and working in NYC, this city has so many memories for me, I have been mesmerized by its greatness and also disgusted for the coldness of the businesses there, I had my first date with my wife in the Time Square, I love so much NYC and this song literally describes everything I feel about this city, omg just amazing.
i think thats great that it played at your dads funeral. its strange because i just played this song because i was thinking about my dad who passed away who was born in new york. im sorry someone said nice lie. the hell with the rude people. you dont have time to worry about rude people when there are so many good people to associate yourself with. nice story ;)
She's so talented to do this entire song in one take in front of lots of people, on piano, and never mess up. And this is what ended up on the radio. That's how talented she is. It was so good that it was put right on the radio.
This is the definitive version of this beautiful track. Alicia Keys is just unbelievably talented in all areas and I want to give a shout out to the whole group of backing vocalists. I was 18 when I bought Songs in A minor and been a fan ever since. Sends chills and the harmony is just so good. Love and peace from the UK
She is absolutely brilliant! This is from a 50 year old hard rock fan. Love this! Great voice, great song. No matter the genre. I'll listen to this next to Zeppelin all day long. (Of course all the players she is accompanied by are part of the brilliance.)
A heavenly voice for sure! Love this song. Been in New York on holiday for four to five days. A place that does not close down. Both New York and London rock the world! Proud to be an American! Bor🎉n and bred in Louisiana. U.S. ARMY Gulf War Veteran ! Veteran
Hey @joesphfuselier Glad you liked London and thanks for your service from a Brit. You're right the 2 best cities in the world London and NY. I loved NY in 2000 can't wait to go back, what we call in England a proper proper place. For all their faults still the benchmark for everything culturally and education wise. And as Alicia says inspirational. A famous writer called Samuel Pepys said if you are tired of London then you are tired or life. If he was from New York he would have said the same.
Wow what an amazing performance!!! Never fought that Alicia keys was so really good? Amazing voice, and she performs live to! Respect for her!! Definitely one of the best female artist ever!!
My son has just come back from his first visit to New York. He was staying at a hotel not far away from Grand Central Station........... Imagine if he had walked past you at some point, while you were listening to this song. Now that would of been spooky. I could of text him to keep an eye open for you......and say. Hello lol.
I've quit a 10yr smoking habit in NYC. Then some random Sunday evening the best thing in my life happened right in Midtown's PS Theatre. Some time later I've taken my first serious step in my career in NYC and life keeps changing, on and on, better and better. But keep in mind, greatness would only come from the greater struggles. So seriously.. if you want amazing changes in your life, there is no other place than being here.
WE L O V E this song!!! And L O V E Alicia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, LONG after this song (in fact, just this last year) we left the state we loved for 25 years, and returned to our childhood home of Minnesota.. We are happier now!!!!!! BUT... EVERY TIME we hear this song, we are both overwhelmed by the ole' NY pride thing! We will FOREVER miss the weekends in the Adirondacks! ( Luckily northern MN has equal retreats), just a MUCH farther drive. We will always miss, but never return to NY, due to what it has become! But when my wife and I hear this song (and we seek it out often), it brings tears to our eyes, lots of them!!! This song has always made both of us teary solely from the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of Alicia's Angelic voice!!!!!!!!!!! But now it also seems like saying goodbye to a ole friend (NY). Thankfully, these days, we can stream ALICIA'S absolutely ANGELIC voice, whenever we miss NY. More often, we stream just to hear the the sound of an ANGEL, before She get's her wings!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOU SING FOREVER IN HEAVEN ALICIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kurz nachdem ich meiner Frau sn Sylvester einen Heiratsantrag in Sydney gemacht habe sind wir beide den Highway entlang gefahren. Tolles Wetter, super Stimmung. Canberra lag zu unseren Füssen und dieses Lied spielte im Autoradio. Wir waren so glücklich. Der beste Moment in meinem/unserem Leben. Wir haben geweint. Dieses Lied wurde unser Hochzeitslied. Wir sind weiterhin so glücklich. Danke.
i know no one is going to read this, lol. but this is my favourite and most personal song. Not coz of alicia herself or the song, but i heard this the last time i ever saw my dad. visited him in prison actually, around 7 years ago i think 🤔 anyway lol nice song. makes me tear up.
I used to live in New York for 9 years, my hole child hood revolves around it. Every time I hear the words, “New York” I can’t help to shed a little tear. God bless everyone reading this comment, and I hope you get a taste of New York. It’s amazing!
I visited New York (Manhattan) and all the time wondered how would it feel to bring up children there. Children seemed somehow out of place there....But then I come from a very small town...
Just heard this on the radio and brought back memories of when I had the pleasure to work in New York and travelled quite frequently there. Seeing is believing, the weather, the broad streets, sky touching buildings and THEY don't do anything in small from cars to food. Enjoyed it very much it's worth making the trip out there.
I can too and I haven't been to NYC since the age of 12, when I really couldn't take in or appreciate what she is. I can still smile tho. I feel this song and this voice teaches me about NYC.
O God why this song makes me cry don't know i don't know much about this place too but the voice music n lyrics just so real n lovely,it keeps me listen again n again n again Thank you Alicia keys

NY is great if you have a well payed job with insurance but is though living there, still amazing how in love one can be with this city. Love it or hate it so is with this city where I lived for 10 years and I am so proud being now an american!
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi yes! I would go back anytime. I now have a family in Germany and cannot so easily go back but God, oh je, I would go back… take care. Your choice and actions are good just for you, they may not serve others. Take that with you in 2023! God bless
I was lucky enough to visit your great city in 2017. I will never forget this special time. What a fantastic city. COVID has affected us greatly and I may not get back to NYC again as I am over 50 now, but thankyou New York. Long live the great relationship between America and Australia.
This is such a great song... i’ve been in New York 2 times and everytime i hear this song it makes me a little bit sad... just becouse i’m not there. I miss New York!!!!
I love this song but it always makes me cry, my grandma died when i was 3 and i never really got to know her and this was her favorite song, i just wish i got to know her
I used to pick up my Little Grandson at Preschool in 2010 and I Always played this song on way home for him... His little voice asking me to sing it for him....😁✌🏼☮️💐
Those chorus notes, that tone is like a deep yell that everyone had inside but couldn't let it out because we didn't know how, until this Woman came along and did it for us.... I think that's why so many people feel nostalgic, or somewhat emotional when they hear this song.
Beautiful, gifted musician with the voice of an angel and able to share her heart-felt vision with all of us in such an uncompromising way. I'm literally terrified of large cities but Alicia takes that to a different level and makes me want to visit and explore new realms. She and her parents must be so proud of her achievements (hell, I'm proud of her!) and to make such an enormous footprint in the world of entertainment is the ultimate reward. To use an outdated euphemism, you go, girl !!! Love ya big time :)
Hahaha! Man I did get at first then i play the same line of concrete jungle. Then I got your joke. Well that was so good man i laughed for 3 straight minutes.
My son is moving October 31st 2019 . He’s found his passion and found a way to get paid .He’s an Artist U you can make there you can make it anywhere. Yes it’s sad he’s my only son but i can’t wait to see the awesome things this kids got to offer.

Hey @joesphfuselier Glad you liked London and thanks for your service from a Brit. You're right the 2 best cities in the world London and NY.

This was one of my favourite songs when i was 7. Now i am 13 and i feel so good when i hear good old songs❤
That magnificent cry in Alicia's voice evokes emotion the way few other singers can. Brilliant!
Can’t believe how good she sounds live
I've never been out of the UK, but I listen to this and I'm there; I'm in New York and night is falling. I love this song.

Ooh, New York
Ooh, New York
Grew up in a town
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I can make it here
I could make it anywere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway
Even if ain't all it seems
I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby, I'm from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York!
(New York, New York, New York)
On the avenue
There ain't never a curfew, ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot
On the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gipsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight
With a hunger for more than an empty fridge
I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocket full of dreams
Baby I'm from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York!
(New York, New York, New York)
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
New York
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York!
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York!

So you want to be in a place that has super high violent crime, super expensive, and corruption? Im from NYC and glad that I left.
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi yes! I would go back anytime. I now have a family in Germany and cannot so easily go back but God, oh je, I would go back… take care. Your choice and actions are good just for you, they may not serve others. Take that with you in 2023! God bless
This song makes me cry! Idkw is perfect
muito bom
Saamme!
Me too, life is a struggle.
Valeria Flores ra
Valeria Flores because she is a badass!!!! i listen to it a couple times a week
I was lucky enough to visit your great city in 2017. I will never forget this special time. What a fantastic city. COVID has affected us greatly and I may not get back to NYC again as I am over 50 now, but thankyou New York. Long live the great relationship between America and Australia.
This is such a great song... i’ve been in New York 2 times and everytime i hear this song it makes me a little bit sad... just becouse i’m not there. I miss New York!!!!
New York such a beautiful city. It has always been and will be. From Russia
+Karina Grigoryan
Moscow is a beautiful city too! :)
I hope your goverment doesn't blow it up.
+lol Googlelet'smehaveextremelylongnames
I hope that your state is also not tear us
Karina Grigoryan I am not even American.
+lol Googlelet'smehaveextremelylongnames
You should fear North korea instead of Russia to do something like that, we are not in the 60s anymore.
Visited New York from Australia earlier this year. An amazing city. I'll definitely return someday.
This song really sums it up well. Love it!!!!!
I left Brooklyn 20 years ago. Hearing this beautiful song brings tears to my eyes.
I love this song but it always makes me cry, my grandma died when i was 3 and i never really got to know her and this was her favorite song, i just wish i got to know her
I miss the time when New york girl was Alicia Keys, not Minaj, not Cardi B
Nicki Minaj was here for a while Cardi was.not
They stupid as donkey ass
I don’t even know who the other two are
Well said dude!
Moldir Yessim um Nicki and Alicia yes
Cosby no
I used to pick up my Little Grandson at Preschool in 2010 and I Always played this song on way home for him...
His little voice asking me to sing it for him....😁✌🏼☮️💐
Those chorus notes, that tone is like a deep
yell that everyone had inside but couldn't let it out because we didn't know how, until this Woman came along and did it for us....
I think that's why so many people feel nostalgic, or somewhat emotional when they hear this song.
Beautiful, gifted musician with the voice of an angel and able to share her heart-felt vision with all of us in such an uncompromising way. I'm literally terrified of large cities but Alicia takes that to a different level and makes me want to visit and explore new realms. She and her parents must be so proud of her achievements (hell, I'm proud of her!) and to make such an enormous footprint in the world of entertainment is the ultimate reward. To use an outdated euphemism, you go, girl !!! Love ya big time :)
Alicia Keys: NEW YOOOOOOORK

อัลบั้ม: The Element Of Freedom（Deluxe
Oooh oooh' New York (2x)
Grew up in a town'
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That's what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway
Even if it ain't all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby' I'm from
New York' concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York' New York' New York
On the avenue' there ain't never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge
I'm going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby' I'm from
New York' concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York' New York' New York
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights' big dreams' all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah' yeah yeah
New York' concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York
Awsome!!!!!!
Don't get why everyone says Beyonce is Queen, Alicia Keys has her beat in looks and talent, not that it's a competition I guess
I sounds like she's saying. Concrete jungle wet dream tomato
caitlin plays47 Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, every singer has their Yellow Ledbetter moments lol
steve lehrman I heard it's actually Chris Brown that has Rihanna beat
Nicholas Wolfe It happened, that was the moment Nicholas knew: he won the internet.
Just came back from vacation and I am listening to this now. Back home in Ridgewood Queens
Who else is getting the goose bumps listening to this song, dedicated to the beautiful BIG APPLE ..!! with the unique
and amazing voice of Alicia Keys. Blessings ❤
