New York State of Mind

Billy Joel

Transposer:

Some folks like to get away Take a holiday From the neighborhood Hop a flight to Miami beach Or to Hollywood But I'm takin' a Greyhound On the Hudson river line I'm in a New York state of mind I've seen all the movie stars In their fancy cars And their limousines Been high in the Rockies Under the evergreens But I know what I'm needing And I don't want to waste more time I'm in a New York state of mind It was so easy livin' day by day Out of touch with the rhythm and blues And now I need a little give and take The New York Times the Daily News Comes down to reality And it's fine with me 'Cause I've let it slide Don't care if it's Chinatown Or on Riverside I don't have any reasons I've let them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind Instrumental : Comes down to reality And it's fine with me 'Cause I've let it slide Don't care if it's Chinatown Or on Riverside I don't have any reasons I've let them all behind I'm in a New York state of mind Instrumental :

Cette chanson évoque l'idée de vouloir échapper à la routine en prenant des vacances, mais malgré toutes les destinations luxueuses possibles, le protagoniste se rend compte qu'il préfère rester fidèle à New York. Il exprime son besoin d'authenticité et de connexion avec sa ville, décrivant ses souvenirs des stars de cinéma et des paysages de montagne, mais il ressent que seul l'atmosphère de New York peut réellement le satisfaire. Au fil des vers, il laisse derrière lui ses préoccupations, acceptant la réalité de la vie urbaine avec un sentiment de sérénité et de détermination. C'est un hommage à l'énergie unique de la ville, où il trouve sa véritable inspiration et son bonheur.
