Is it déjà vu or have I been here before?
I don't know but
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Written in the air
Written on return
Nowhere bright as here nowhere else
Written in the air
Written on return
Stones and fever dreams nothing else...
Nyc see ya real soon
Try to run away
Ya know it's no use
Tongue in cheek so I can't speak
Vibrations knock my screws loose
Well it ain't love
It ain't art
It's pressure
Pain in the heart that moves me
Nyc
That grooves me
Nyc
You move me
Nyc you lose me
Nyc
Everything about you is still the same
Everything about you is so alive
Too much time around, you start to kick my ass
Too much time away, I lose my lease
(new york love me) so good, so good
(new york love me) keep my head up
(ny love me) nyc, I see
(ny why me) am I ny?
Nycny - Hall & Oates
Hall & Oates' 'Nycny' stands as a quintessential example of their late-1970s New York soul and R&B fusion. Recorded during the height of their early career, the track showcases the duo's signature blend of smooth vocals, infectious guitar riffs, and a driving rhythm section that defined the sound of the era. While often associated with their broader discography of heartthrob ballads and upbeat dance tracks, 'Nycny' captures a grittier, more authentic side of their musical identity, reflecting the urban landscape of the city where they performed. The song remains a staple of their live sets and live recordings, demonstrating the enduring appeal of their vocal harmonies and songwriting prowess. It serves as a testament to their ability to craft memorable, danceable records that bridged the gap between pop and soul, influencing countless artists who followed in their wake.
