Thursday I'm in love....a chance to share some of my favourite songs...."fuhgedaboudit!"
St Germain - 'Rose Rouge' (2000)
I love New York!
From the very moment The Eagles appropriately welcomed us with 'Lying Eyes' (with that immortal 'city girls' line) over the airport mini bus radio whilst gazing out at the approaching Manhattan skyline. To the moment, turning the corner after leaving our hotel off 5th Ave, to be confronted by the towering Empire State Building, (Holy shit! King Kong climbed that!) I knew I was smitten.
There's this sense that somehow you've been here before. Of course, I've lived it all in the movies growing up, the yellow taxis, the cop car sirens, the steam billowing up from the manhole covers, all bringing this peculiar familiarity. Not to mention the music, eclectic, from Swing to Punk to the birth of Hip Hop, it was so easy to fall in love with New York. That was certainly how I felt when I visited Manhattan for the first time with my girlfriend (now wife) on a cold February in 2001. We hadn't been going out long but taking in the sights and sounds over the few days of our sejour also made her realise that I was quite the catch, eventually deciding to marry me.

Tulis commentsThis is great. One of those artists I've seen around for years and meant to explore but never have. Now I know I should have done. Thanks, mate. My word, I'd love to go to New York.
ReplyReally nice track and really good piece of descriptive writing, A*
ReplyExcellent!! I had this on one of my numerous chill out albums. The steady beat was more frenetic than chill out but at 2:30 it kicks in and almost has a cantaloupe feel to it. Great piece of writing too and would describe just how I would feel stepping out on those streets.
ReplyI used to love this album and had forgotten all about it until now - nice one!
ReplyClassic song. Brilliant Post. Enough said.
