Although this is a song of celebration, I have included images of people and subjects that are on a downer side.... Not everyone found joy in the Big Apple, most notably King Kong. Another case from Life itself; On May 1, 1947, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the 86th floor observation deck and landed on a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. Photography student Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale's oddly intact corpse a few minutes after her death. The police found a suicide note among possessions she left on the observation deck:
"He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody". She has since been labeled "The Most Beautiful Suicide"
The song and the city remains the core of the American dream; ".........If I can make it THERE.... I`ll make it EVERYWHERE...."
How many went disillusioned because they went for all or nothing in that very town....
In any case - I hope you`ll enjoy the music and my video.
