About New York City

"New York City" is the first single by the musical group Emigrate. The promo version of the single has an alternative cover. The gas mask has a burning building instead of a woman reflected in lenses. It has been considered the band's most successful song, so far. Richard, in the music video, can be seen walking through New York City and sitting down and singing. The song has been credited by many as a phenomenon, as Richard Z. Kruspe does not show his guitar skills, like he does with Rammstein, but now sings as the main vocalist and does what Till Lindemann states as "[An] incredible job at singing and makes the song perfect in every way, who would have known my fellow German guitarist would now be singing in great American dialect, I'm very proud of Rick".

I'm lost in a world of lights
Mesmerize my nights
The sky scrapes on buildings sites
I'm feeling so alive

Whatever's clever
Whatever's clever will have to wait

Thinking on the world at large
The city's got it all
Culture clash and sidewalk trash
Don't look down you might fall

And now we just feel like energy
New York city will never sleep
And now we just feel like synergy
New York city it's the place to be

I'm gonna win
I'm gonna lose
I'm gonna chase it till the end
And if you're walking in my shoes
You're gonna make it or pretend

Whatever's clever
Whatever's clever will have to wait

And now we just feel like energy
New York city will never sleep
And now we just feel like synergy
New York city it's the place to be
