Their name is derived from the historic New York political organization Tammany Hall. Although they do not classify themselves as a Celtic music group, the band has a strong Irish American identity and musical feel.
Tammany Hall NYC formed in 1997, and soon began playing in local New York clubs. The group gained a strong local following, releasing their first album, Getawayland in 1999 under the independent label Glass Records. The following year they released Back In The Bottle, an acoustic album that had more of a folk music influence than its predecessor. The songs "Cindy", "To the Woman" and "Someone" have been used on the NBC show Scrubs.
Buddy, their third album, was released in February 2003, and saw them returning to the louder mix of punk and alternative rock that had characterized their debut. The song "To the Woman," from this album, was featured on Scrubs on January 17, 2006. "Cindy," a re-recorded version of the song originally from Back In The Bottle, was also played on Scrubs in October 2003. Later in 2003, the soundtrack to Eat This New York was released, which showed a wide range of Latin and jazz influences on the band's part.
Someone
Tammany Hall NYC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In time, time will show.
Someone's cashed in, chances are where chips fall.
Someone's sunset is someone's moon rise.
Someone's red lips speak to someone's blue eyes.
And some may run, and some know fear.
And some wade in a while and let the murky waters clear.
Someone should go.
He's waiting on a kind hand.
Someone should say, "he's waiting in quicksand".
Someone's less proud, a crowd surrounds a chalk line.
Someone's too loud, sermons save their blood wine.
And some may hope, and some may pray.
And some talk trash, let the talkers have their day.
And some fuck scared, and some suck sad.
And some see their station staying still and going mad.
And some just smile.
Someone makes love.
Love makes someone.
Someone gives love.
Someone takes none.
And some may pass, and some may hold.
And some grow ageless while their body's growing old.
And they just smile, they just smile.
They just smile. they just smile.
The song "Someone" by Tammany Hall NYC is a poignant reflection on the complexity of life and how different people experience it in different ways. The opening line "Someone's late, I'll wait" suggests that the singer is waiting for someone who may or may not arrive, but they are willing to wait. The line "In time, time will show" implies that the passage of time will eventually reveal the truth of whether or not this person will arrive.
The next set of lines- "Someone's cashed in, chances are where chips fall. Someone's sunset is someone's moon rise. Someone's red lips speak to someone's blue eyes" - highlights the way in which different people can have very different outcomes in life, depending on the choices they make and the circumstances they find themselves in. The juxtaposition of the sunset and the moonrise suggests that what seems like an ending to one person can be the start of something new to someone else. The reference to red lips speaking to blue eyes suggests a potential romantic encounter, although it is left unclear whether this is a positive or negative experience.
The chorus focuses on the idea that different people approach life in different ways, and that some people are better equipped to deal with the challenges that come their way. The line "And some may run, and some know fear" suggests that fear and avoidance are both valid responses to difficult situations, while the line "And some wade in a while and let the murky waters clear" implies that patience and perseverance can also be effective strategies. The final line "And some just smile" suggests that some people are able to find joy or contentment in the midst of adversity.
The second verse continues to explore the idea that people experience life very differently, depending on their circumstances. The lines "Someone should go. He's waiting on a kind hand. Someone should say, 'he's waiting in quicksand'" suggest that one person is struggling and in need of help, but no one is stepping forward to assist them. The line "Someone's less proud, a crowd surrounds a chalk line" suggests that some people may feel overwhelmed by the attention they receive when something goes wrong. The line "Someone's too loud, sermons save their blood wine" implies that some people may turn to religion as a coping mechanism.
The song concludes with a set of lines that highlight the many different forms that love can take. Some people make love, some people are changed by love, some people give love generously, and some people are unable to accept or reciprocate love. The line "And some grow ageless while their body's growing old" suggests that some people are able to maintain a youthful spirit even as they age. The final line "They just smile" reinforces the idea that different people handle life's challenges in different ways, but that some are able to find joy or contentment regardless of their circumstances.

someone's late. i'll wait.
in time, time will show.
someone's cashed in. chances are where chips fall.
someone's sunset is someone's moonrise.
someone's red lips speak to someone's blue eyes.
and some may run. and some know fear.
and some wade in a while and let the murky waters clear.
and some just smile.
someone should go. he's waiting on a kind hand.
someone should say, "he's waiting in quicksand".
someone's less proud; a crowd surrounds a chalk line.
someone's too loud. sermons save their blood wine.
and some may hope. and some may pray.
and some talk trash. let the talkers have their day.
and some fuck scared, and some suck sad.
and some see their station staying still and going mad.
and some just smile.
someone makes love. love makes someone.
someone gives love. someone takes none.
and some may pass. and some may hold.
and some grow ageless while their body's growing old.
and they just smile. they just smile.
they just smile. they just smile.
