Hell, I Still Love You New York
I remember listening to Ryan Adams' "New York, New York" in high school when it first came out, and I loved it because it mentioned New York and I was kind of spellbound by the video because it was shot in front of the World Trade Center, like, two days before 9/11. I just listened to it again in the first time in 4 years and it sounds so different to me now. It perfectly captures this melancholy but gleeful feeling that I'll always associate with New York. It's similar to Coltrane's "Central Park West" in that I can imagine myself there and that I have these really visceral memories that both of those songs make me think of. I guess it's a testament to the city that I romanticize the city more after living here for 3 years than I did before I moved here.
