Alicia Keys. Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down. the element of freedom. 2009. Grew up in a town that is famous as the 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 Some will sleep tonight with a hunger for more than an empty fridge I'm gonna 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 street 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, 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 for New York, New York, New York!

This is a revisit to one of my favourite tracks, in fact the bonus track, "Wilderness" from the 2009 Bat For Lashes 'Two Suns' album. Oops, actually this version is taken from TS "Special Edition" and two live performances. I took my lanes to the sea we had just pressed the shells into our bones and we saw the queen in the sky gently revealing the treasures of her crowns took off all of our Armour Every last single drop of gold And we banished the land Lifted our bodies right up into the cold Wilderness In the darkest light I call out to my brothers come join me in flight And the tears they did roll from the salty sea, the rainy sky and the wide eye, the wide eyes My heart it did swell As the grandest of stars burst out names in the skies I can see but a thousand of families and friends I have thought but long gone And the thunder claps hands as I embrace them And we held out to every single last word Wilderness in the darkest light I call out to my brothers come join me in flight
