Posner, Mike - A NYC Memory I Remembered In Punta Cana Lyrics






A New York City Memory I Remembered in Punta Cana

On the corner of 42nd and some other street, I watched it all happening
There were buses, strollers and horns bleeding out of cars like notes from organs in conflicting keys
Cars wrapped around people like unopened Christmas gifts that nobody wanted
Nobody but me

I laid a blanket of silence over the noise
And suddenly it was all beautiful
It was all perfect
It was all exactly what it was
A curtain in front of the stage pretending to be the show

  18. e.... M....

    I took a pill in Ibiza
    To show Avicii I was cool
    And when I finally got sober, felt ten years older
    But fuck it, it was something to do
    I'm living out in LA
    I drive a sports car just to prove
    I'm a real big baller 'cause I made a million dollars
    And I spend it on girls and shoes
    But you don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
    I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
    I get along with old timers
    'Cause my name's a reminder of a pop song people forgot
    And I can't keep a girl, no
    'Cause as soon as the sun comes up
    I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
    But the truth is I can't open up
    Now you don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs
    I took a plane to my home town
    I brought my pride and my guitar
    All my friends are all gone but there's manicured lawns
    And the people still think I'm a star
    I walked around downtown
    I met some fans on Lafayette
    They said tell us how to make it 'cause we're getting real impatient
    So I looked 'em in the eye and said
    You don't wanna be high like me
    Never really knowing why like me
    You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone
    You don't wanna ride the bus like this
    Never knowing who to trust like this
    You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
    Stuck up on that stage singing
    All I know are sad songs, sad songs
    Darling, all that I know are sad songs, sad songs

    listen to his story and than listen to this song again.

  33. E.... ....

    Why is he behind a wall

  34. R.... G....

    i never knew that this was the original! i only heard this because of the "DJ Earworm - Decade of Pop" playlist on Spotify, and i thought it was an acoustic version at first haha. i was listening to it for nostalgia, and as a gen z kid, i'm really gonna miss the 2010s 😢

  35. S.... R....

    1:06. 😂

  36. J.... D....

    I just gotta say this shot would have been ironically better if that guy at 1:05 just casually smoked.

  37. S.... S....

    Pro tip : Play at 1.25× speed.

  38. A.... 1....

    When the remix someone did of your music gets almost 10x the views your song got

  39. 7.... G....

    Lets all thank the guy at 1:07

  40. J.... M....

    This song hits different now.

  41. M.... ....

    his mouth is dry from licking but not singing

  42. F.... G....

    Man, I really enjoy those lyrics...

  43. S.... _....

    The original is still the besttttt

  44. E.... T....

    This original acoustic version of this song is a hidden gem of the late 2010's

  45. R.... �....

    who else came cuz they got this in the
    “Bald man Slap head remix”?
    👇🏽

  46. J.... M....

  60. M.... S....

    Can we please give Mike a hug? He just sounds like he's been through a lot

    M.... S....

    Nah ! He enjoyed his a life a lot. Means a way more than he should have. But he is requesting you to not?

    M.... S....

    this comment needs more appreciation and Mike needs a hug

  62. T.... L....

    He should have taken a train ;

  63. J.... A....

    Wooooou!!!!❤

  64. S.... B....

    Does anyone know how many times he licked his finger,?

    S.... B....

    Legend has it that he actually licked his finger 52 times

  65. S.... ....

    Kudos to the guy who waited 3 more minutes before getting out from the wall just to not interrupt the shoot at 1:07

  66. S.... ....

    I love this version instead of the other one

  67. J.... ....

    I'll just leave a comment to see how old it could get

  68. t.... L....

    Nice Bob Dylan reference

  69. C.... B....

    shout out to tha legend at 1:06 who just wanted a smoke but realised someone's shooting a video and fucked off

  70. L.... b....

    Legend has it that the guy is still behind the walls...

  71. B.... ....

    Jesus Christ, was it necessary to lick your thumb before every slide?

  72. K.... V....

    Define respect...1:07

  73. A.... B....

    This is how many times he licked his thumb
    ⬇️
    ⬇️
    ⬇️

  74. a.... a....

    OMG. Wow. It's awkward. I didn't know I was listening the remix of this song for years 🙁 this is much better. Relaxing

    a.... a....

    aJaY aJz You should listen to his album A Real Good Kid :)

  75. w.... ....

    Calm down with the litter bro. Going green is cool.....

  76. G.... O....

    AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LISTENS TO THIS IN 1862 RIGHT AFTER MY OWNER SET ME FREE

    G.... O....

    Godly Or Godlee bruh wtf

  77. �.... ....

    He stop smoking weed a year ago!

  78. i.... l....

    This is the number of times mike licked his fingers
    🔽

  79. S.... D....

    The dude hidin' in the wall is a whitewalker

  80. F.... W....

    I Love this version

  81. Z.... K....

    “I get along with old timers cuz my names a reminder of a pop song people forgot.” It makes me so happy to know what an incredibly ironic line that has become. This song, a complete ‘woah is me’ bard’s tale about a singer who only amounted to short-lived fame and mediocrity.:... was remixed and now has almost a billion listens on Spotify.... with OVER a billion views on the Music Video. I’m so happy that this is the way his story turned out. People will never forget this song.

  82. G.... M....

    I took a pill with Mona Lisa

    To show Da Vinci i was cool

  83. P.... ....

    I like it better it 1.25 speed just me?

  84. N.... k....

    I am not really happy with the fact that the remix is liked way more than this great original piece of art, in my opinion comparing both of the versions the original one is a lot better and way underrated in front of the remix

  85. S.... T....

    I remember the very first day this song was released I cried And still do today

  86. K.... B....

    PLAY AT 1.5X !! :)

  87. F.... ....

    1:13

    *You no wann stuck up behind the wall
    all alone*

  88. S.... ....

    the feels

  89. E.... ....

    For a while I didn't know this version existed

  90. A.... A....

    I TOOK A PILL MONA LISA.

  91. S.... S....

    Years later I got to know it has orignal too 😂😅

  92. b.... b....

    a true gentlemen never disturb someone when he taken video or selfie

  93. T.... M....

    99% of the comment section were talking about the guy hiding behind the wall.

  94. j.... d....

    Met mike on his walk great dude

  95. B.... ....

    We will never know what the last card said

  96. H.... ....

    1:00 the guy that walked out of the door, saw the camera and walked behind a wall made me laugh so hard

  97. d.... ....

    All I know are sad songs.......
