最近買了一張CD，Billy Joel鋼琴詩人CD+DVD精選集
裡面一首名為New York State Of Mind，
聽來有一點點憂傷...但卻很喜歡，
今天看到這個網站
The Future of New York City，
也很喜歡，而且有一些些感動。
911之後，紐約人似乎更重視生活周遭，
更期待未來的美好，也更努力。
十年後，你在哪裡？紐約人似乎已經想好了，
也想清楚了。

New York State Of Mind歌詞如下：
Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind
