Halestorm - Empire State Of Mind Lyrics






Made it in a town that is famous as a 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 the marquee found down on Broadway.

Even if it ain't all that it seems, I got a pocketful of dreams,
Out in New York.
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
There's nothing you can't do.
Out in New York.
These streets will make you feel brand new,
Lights will inspire you,
Hear it for New York, New York, New York.

On the avenue, there's never a curfew, you work so hard.
Such a melting pot, on the corner selling rock, we pray to God.

I'ma make it by any means, I got a pocketful of dreams,
Out 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,
Lights will inspire you,
Hear it for New York, New York, New York.

One hand in the air for the city.
Street lights, all looking pretty.
No place in the world that can compare.
Put your lighters in the air, everybody say,
Yeah! Yeah!
In New York.
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Nothing you can't do.
Now you're in New York.
These streets will make you feel brand new,
Lights will inspire you,
Hear it for New York, New York, New York.

    Debating on whether redhead Lzzy is hottest or the jet-black carwash-style from their "I Get Off" official vid.

    Still in 2018 brings out so much emotion.

  55. d.... p....

    love her

  56. B.... H....

    One of my favorite bands covering one of my very few guilty pleasure pop songs... I can die happy now.

  57. R.... 1....

    um you mean Alicia keys cover

  58. F.... b....

    This band just knocks me over whenever I hear something new !!!!!! ((\,,/)) ((\,,/))

  59. M.... ....

    Alicia Keys just got excited too...

  60. h.... j....

    im blown away

  61. F.... O....

    0:47 Sorry guys but the bass guitar player is playing play-back ... No way what he plays sounds like what we hear ...

    F.... O....

    YOu know that many many live recordings take shots from a different point of the song or the whole show, just because its looks better. For example on a live video of Metallica James has in one shot a other guitar then in the other ones because its from a other day.
    Its called Video edeting ;)

  62. C.... P....

    Hated this song.... Untill I heard this... Wow...

  66. K.... A....

    The perfect woman doesn’t exis....

  67. g.... ....

    The greatest female vocalist since Janis Joplin. IMHO

    g.... ....

    what about Alissa White-Gluz or Taylor Momsen?

  68. B.... R....

    good job guys

  69. M.... ....

    Only reason this version is inferior is because it doesn't sync up perfectly to "makin pancakes."

  70. D.... B....

    Super cool, great voice !

  71. m.... ....

    This woman has a special gift. As good as any other right now. For hard core, better than any other female that I know.

  72. s.... ....

    I'm still returning to this song in 2018.

  73. T.... H....

    That girl gets down and every time I hear her it renews my love of music

  74. s.... s....

  75. F.... b....
