New York by Joel Ansett published on 2017-02-22T16:18:26Z Learn more: http://joelansett.com/ If this world never dies / and we’ll all be blessed or cursed If there’s any place worth saving / oh God / save new york first Oh God / save new york first / new york Ride underneath her long tilled soil / new york / until you feel The subway’s pulse and beat / see the living roots / all kinds entangled From wall street’s king / to idlers off the street Rise to face her eye level now / new york / watch clicking heels make the curb alive Until you know what brings these people here / and what it takes / a city to survive If this world never dies / and we’ll all be blessed or cursed If there’s any place worth saving / oh God / save new york first Oh God / save new york first / new york Stare hard and slow into her soul / new york / until you see the wounded and forsaken And all their longings told in honest art / stare until your bones are shaken Listen to her / from the subway to the sky / telling you that every road is a fork Leading toward one garden city or another / the question stands Which one is new york? If this world never dies / and we’ll all be blessed or cursed If there’s any place worth saving / oh God / save new york first / God save new york first / God oh God / save new york CREDITS: Song by Joel Ansett and Margaret Dowers Joel Ansett: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Backing Vocals Chase Weber: Synths, Electric Guitar, Programming Joel Beussink: Bass Guitar Ryan Doyle: Drums Brandon Weaver: Programming Produced by Brandon Weaver Co-Produced by Chase Weber Recorded at Iron Wing Studios (Newport, KY) and The Bongo Tree (Cincinnati, OH) Mixed by Brandon Weaver Mastered by Alex Lowe at Red Tuxedo (Atlanta, GA) Album Art & Photography by Zack Wilson Genre Indie Comment by Fleursonseaux I like the atmosphere created by this song, excellent vocal performance... 2018-09-28T19:54:17Z Comment by Rock Flexible (Official) excellent!!! 2018-03-01T21:56:28Z
