In Sadie the Artist, Part 2, I’ll talk about why I have included Sadie in my mission of promoting my podcast, feature a song that Sadie is working on, and talk about what this song means to her. Again, in listening to her talk so intelligently and with so much wisdom, I’m confident you will appreciate why I think she is a remarkable human being. Here are the lyrics to the song she debuts:
I miss New York
I miss New York
The land of the free
A nostalgic city
The melting pot of cultures
And the aroma of tea
I miss the isolation
Just one in the population
Of all the coolest people
you’ll ever meet*
I wish I could say I’m a local
So that I can be vocal
On what I believe*
The bright city lights call my name
Even though I’m not chasing
the fortune or fame*
But I wanna put “NYC” in my bio
Take the daily commute to Soho*
And I wanna sit on the rooftops
Sipping hot tea from a local shop*
Im warmed by the heat
of the lamp post
I need to buy that ticket,
I need to take that flight
Cuz I miss New York all the time *
The people on the street
Sing a pretty melody
There’s so much hidden talent
Waiting to be found*
I miss the casual adventures
When the whole day was
centered
On discovering something new*
I wish I lived here in this city
Where everyone is so witty
And full of passion*
Roaming round the museums
with my best friends
The party just never ends
Or so it seems*
But I wanna put nyc in my bio
Run around the parks like a child*
And I wanna walk everywhere
Sun shining down,
wind blowing my hair*
I feel like this life would
make me so happy
I need to bid goodbye
to the life I led before*
Cuz I miss New York*
Instead of cars I want trains
Sitting on window pains
Watching people run in the rain*
I’ll always love my home
Call my parents on the phone
But New York is where I wish to be*
I can finally be free to truly be me
As I make my way through
this city *
And I’m gonna work real hard
Gonna be my own star
Just like the lights
on the city skyline*
On this busy island
feeling of not being seen
Just another pedestrian,
trying to stay clean*
Every light makes up
