Theme From New York New York
Liza Minnelli & Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that doesn’t sleeps
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in the city that doesn’t sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
Crème of the crop and the top of the heap
My little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
Come on, Come though, New York, New York
Liza Minnelli's song "New York" is an anthem about wanting to be a part of the great city of New York. The opening lyrics "Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today" paint a picture of someone who is leaving everything behind to start anew in the city. The character in the song is clearly excited about the prospects of the city, as evidenced by the line "I want to be a part of it, New York, New York." The use of the phrase "vagabond shoes" highlights the sense of adventure and possibility that the character feels.
The line "These little town blues are melting away" suggests that the character has been feeling stuck in their previous life, and that the bright lights of New York are the perfect cure for their malaise. The chorus features the famous line "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere," which captures the spirit of the song. The idea that success in New York is the ultimate benchmark is a common trope, and this line reinforces that idea. The bridge of the song revisits the idea of waking up in the city as a king, the "crème of the crop and the top of the heap."
Overall, "New York" is a song about the excitement of new beginnings and the allure of the big city. It highlights the idea that New York is a place where you can achieve anything if you work hard enough.
