I’m from nc kinda similar to Texas and I wanna live there but my family’s from my and I just built the courage to start traveling and I’ve been traveling up to see my family in nyc recently and love it there it’s like the party never stops
The first night I saw this music-to-light show, I was all alone out on 5th Ave. Not a car, not a bus, not a taxi in sight. So smack dab in the middle of 5th Ave I stood, weeping w/so much feeling.. A profound NY moment, such a worthy salute to our magical city.Thank you Alicia Keys/ Empire State building/ Z100 for dreaming this up!
My dream since I was a little girl was to move and live in NY. 3 years ago that dream came true and I love this City with all my heart. Not planning to move anywhere. NYC is my home now ❤🗽
Sending transatlantic peace n love from Liverpool, we are so connected. ❤️ What happened to our famous son, John Lennon, taken so cruelly, there's a crumb of comfort, he was in his adopted 2nd home. NYC ..... seeing these vids makes wars, conflict, hate and bigotry seem more futile than ever. One love, one race, the human race. Big love for NYC.
By faaaar one of the most beautiful well edited videos ever. 2000 years from now. This is what they will watch and marvel at. Like we do the pyramids. Absolutely incredible video. The song…obviously.
I love that Empire State Building Light Show, It is so Beautiful. I've never been a New York before, but I will move to NYC until I'll get a Job and my Apartment. I'll be a New York Citizen soon.
I love this track. My childhood dream in Texas was to go to NYC which became my life @ 18. Tomorrow I visit Liberty State Park. Noone sings this better than Alicia Keys a native New Yorker🗽
I’m here after watching banana fish this song paired with the anime just makes me feel so empty inside I loved banana fish but part of me wishes I never watched it I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to move on from that show it makes me so sad to think about the show is so cruel yet it makes me want to live in NYC I wan to see the lights

🎵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 sirens all around and the streets are mean If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere, that's what they say Seeing my face in lights or my name in marquees found down on 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 far more than an empty fridge I'mma 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 compare Put your lighters in the air, everybody say Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! In 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 from New York🎵
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy? One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind. I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist. So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark. In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all. The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise. Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct. Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
This was posted on RU-vid 6 years ago. This was not a recent video. It was shot when they first featured her song with the Empire State building, and they recorded her reaction seeing it for the first time
