Best version of this song in my opinion. She's amazing

That rare case when a song live sounds so amazingly clear, sounds incredible

Bruh I remember singing to this when I was like 8-9 now I’m 18

Can’t believe how good she sounds live

I have a dream that one day I'll listen this song while walking in the streets of New York. ❤❤❤

I made it ! I finally listened to this in New York !

Man...I remember being an 18 year old boy fresh out of school (in London) and going into my first real job but having an uncontrolable urge to travel the world and experience all the beauty it had had to offer. I grew up on A.Keys' music (diary was/still is my jam) and one day as I was driving to work, this song came on the radio. It was a sign, I booked a one way ticket to the big apple on my lunch break and left the following week, all on my own. I was nervous as hell but I'lll never forget getting in the cab from JFK Airport, driving into the city and seeing the NYC skyline for the first time and in that moment - this song came on the radio, again. It was like message from above saying yo - welcome to the rest of your life! I had always dreamt of seeing New York and this song gave me the strngth to get the hell out of my small town in England and experience my dreams. So because of this song, I'm forever greatful and indebted to Alicia Keys!

someone else here 2020?

this played on my dads funeral in 2013. every time this song comes on i get so sad but i also know that he is with me

Her voice in this song is absolutely beautiful, she is so pure and crisp when she starts belting out the chorus and then has that really faint raspiness that kicks in that just hits you. And then you have the great voices of the backup singers, just awesome!

This song always makes me nostalgic.

She's so talented to do this entire song in one take in front of lots of people, on piano, and never mess up. And this is what ended up on the radio. That's how talented she is. It was so good that it was put right on the radio.

I've quit a 10yr smoking habit in NYC. Then some random Sunday evening the best thing in my life happened right in Midtown's PS Theatre. Some time later I've taken my first serious step in my career in NYC and life keeps changing, on and on, better and better. But keep in mind, greatness would only come from the greater struggles. So seriously.. if you want amazing changes in your life, there is no other place than being here.

I'm walking the streets of New York listening this song in my dreams...

Her voice and her fingers on piano... man this girl is a goddess. ❤

I've never been out of the UK, but I listen to this and I'm there; I'm in New York and night is falling. I love this song.

just got to NY from France, and this song the next morning woke me up, I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!

She is so beautiful.

I live in North Jersey, since 14 years ago, 30min from NYC, and I have spent a good part of my life in the states visiting and working in NYC, this city has so many memories for me, I have been mesmerized by its greatness and also disgusted for the coldness of the businesses there, I had my first date with my wife in the Time Square, I love so much NYC and this song literally describes everything I feel about this city, omg just amazing.

She made a fantastic song and then made it even better. Pure talent, class.

I so love New York City. I go every chance I get. Was so happy to introduce my wife to New York. We only had a few days in that first visit so I took her to top attractions. ES building, Liberty, a Mets game(Yankees were out of town) Macy's. Second trip coming soon.

New York such a beautiful city. It has always been and will be. From Russia

Amagine walking in the sreets of NYC listening to this song at 4am in the morning with the biggest smile on your face......I can.

Thinking of all you New Yorkers, and everyone affected by this horrible coronavirus, all around the world. Stay safe, love from Scotland, Ryan x

8 years later and I'm still here listening and loving this song.

watching this on 9/11 sheds a tear from my eye to my neck. be thankful for what you have before it fades away

I'm a rocker and she is so talented that you can't help loving her music, absolutely amazing songwriter!!

It still sounds so amazing! One of my favourite song ever! Happy 2021 everybody, we all deserve a better year

I'm 17 years old. 10 years from now I will be on SNL. Remember my name

I'm an old ass man and though I may never see New York in my lifetime, I feel this song in my soul and I will belt it out at the top of my lungs till the day I leave this wonderful place

This is the definitive version of this beautiful track. Alicia Keys is just unbelievably talented in all areas and I want to give a shout out to the whole group of backing vocalists. I was 18 when I bought Songs in A minor and been a fan ever since. Sends chills and the harmony is just so good. Love and peace from the UK

Alicia Keys: NEW YOOOOOOORK me: CONCRETE JUNGLE WET DREAMS TOMATOO

I used to live in New York for 9 years, my hole child hood revolves around it. Every time I hear the words, “New York” I can’t help to shed a little tear. God bless everyone reading this comment, and I hope you get a taste of New York. It’s amazing!

Sends a chill down my spine every time I listen to this song, a song sung with passion which includes the backing singers also, fantastic all round.

Those chorus notes, that tone is like a deep yell that everyone had inside but couldn't let it out because we didn't know how, until this Woman came along and did it for us.... I think that's why so many people feel nostalgic, or somewhat emotional when they hear this song.

A heavenly voice for sure! Love this song. Been in New York on holiday for four to five days. A place that does not close down. Both New York and London rock the world! Proud to be an American! Bor🎉n and bred in Louisiana. U.S. ARMY Gulf War Veteran ! Veteran

Everyone is here because of some tv shows or ad but i'm here cause i feel like a looser in my own country and always dream to go to NY one day.

She is absolutely brilliant! This is from a 50 year old hard rock fan. Love this! Great voice, great song. No matter the genre. I'll listen to this next to Zeppelin all day long. (Of course all the players she is accompanied by are part of the brilliance.)

Listening because she is a real entertainer. Singer. Songwriter. And just gorgeous... Who could want more...

WE L O V E this song!!! And L O V E Alicia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, LONG after this song (in fact, just this last year) we left the state we loved for 25 years, and returned to our childhood home of Minnesota.. We are happier now!!!!!! BUT... EVERY TIME we hear this song, we are both overwhelmed by the ole' NY pride thing! We will FOREVER miss the weekends in the Adirondacks! ( Luckily northern MN has equal retreats), just a MUCH farther drive. We will always miss, but never return to NY, due to what it has become! But when my wife and I hear this song (and we seek it out often), it brings tears to our eyes, lots of them!!! This song has always made both of us teary solely from the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of Alicia's Angelic voice!!!!!!!!!!! But now it also seems like saying goodbye to a ole friend (NY). Thankfully, these days, we can stream ALICIA'S absolutely ANGELIC voice, whenever we miss NY. More often, we stream just to hear the the sound of an ANGEL, before She get's her wings!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOU SING FOREVER IN HEAVEN ALICIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't get enough of this song (I LOVE NY)

Great SONG FOR SATURDAY NIGHT! WARM VIBRATIONS & BLESSINGS MY FRIENDS! GOOD NIGHT! :-)"

I left Brooklyn 20 years ago. Hearing this beautiful song brings tears to my eyes.

I love this song but it always makes me cry, my grandma died when i was 3 and i never really got to know her and this was her favorite song, i just wish i got to know her

2:18 Those lyrics and her voice brings a tear to my eyes. Fantastic song...... always.

Wow what an amazing performance!!! Never fought that Alicia keys was so really good? Amazing voice, and she performs live to! Respect for her!! Definitely one of the best female artist ever!!

i know no one is going to read this, lol. but this is my favourite and most personal song. Not coz of alicia herself or the song, but i heard this the last time i ever saw my dad. visited him in prison actually, around 7 years ago i think 🤔 anyway lol nice song. makes me tear up.

My son is moving October 31st 2019 . He’s found his passion and found a way to get paid .He’s an Artist U you can make there you can make it anywhere. Yes it’s sad he’s my only son but i can’t wait to see the awesome things this kids got to offer.

When i was in new york they played everywhere that song. i love that city and i love the song. Love from Turkey

Stunning, amazingly gifted woman. Said it since day one. She is really special!

This song, this version takes me right to the places she sings of. Simply good.

Kurz nachdem ich meiner Frau sn Sylvester einen Heiratsantrag in Sydney gemacht habe sind wir beide den Highway entlang gefahren. Tolles Wetter, super Stimmung. Canberra lag zu unseren Füssen und dieses Lied spielte im Autoradio. Wir waren so glücklich. Der beste Moment in meinem/unserem Leben. Wir haben geweint. Dieses Lied wurde unser Hochzeitslied. Wir sind weiterhin so glücklich. Danke.

That magnificent cry in Alicia's voice evokes emotion the way few other singers can. Brilliant!

Goodness, She has an eyes that reflects her energy and passion!! And she has a voice of an angel.

Wow...the power an feeling of that song sends chills Everytime I play it... OUTSTANDING...

I came to NY in 97...been here ever since...I did good. The energy,the people you meet...doors will open. Thank you NY 💯💥👍

Wow. What a voice! This song gives me goose bumps each time I hear it.

Alicia keys has the voice of an angel, what an amazing song, speaks volumes 🇬🇧💛🇬🇧💛🇬🇧

A brilliantly beautiful voice and a gorgeous song that lingers hauntingly in your mind... She's amazing...

I was lucky enough to visit your great city in 2017. I will never forget this special time. What a fantastic city. COVID has affected us greatly and I may not get back to NYC again as I am over 50 now, but thankyou New York. Long live the great relationship between America and Australia.

This was one of my favourite songs when i was 7. Now i am 13 and i feel so good when i hear good old songs❤

Don't get why everyone says Beyonce is Queen, Alicia Keys has her beat in looks and talent, not that it's a competition I guess

Just came back from vacation and I am listening to this now. Back home in Ridgewood Queens

Visited NY twice after listening to this song, stunning voice!!

Just heard this on the radio and brought back memories of when I had the pleasure to work in New York and travelled quite frequently there. Seeing is believing, the weather, the broad streets, sky touching buildings and THEY don't do anything in small from cars to food. Enjoyed it very much it's worth making the trip out there.

Alicia, I love this song, can't get enough of it, what a beautiful voice, and sung with such power and happiness, to you and your family God Bless!

She is truly fantastic. What a great talent. Song makes me teary eyed. Great memories of my mom striving to make it there back in the day…

I don't know why this is such a nostalgic song, I love this so much 😭🙌

This is such a great song... i’ve been in New York 2 times and everytime i hear this song it makes me a little bit sad... just becouse i’m not there. I miss New York!!!!

I used to pick up my Little Grandson at Preschool in 2010 and I Always played this song on way home for him... His little voice asking me to sing it for him....😁✌🏼☮️💐

She's a one in a million singer❤

Essa música nesse toque de piano ficou mais bonita ainda com essa banda maravilhosa e espetacular ✌🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 .

ill go new york someday and ill listen to this song

Who's here because they've been to New York recently and really miss it...

What a mind-blowing voice! I love it!

Amazing song, amazing voice, amazing talent. This song gets me pumped.

Beautiful, gifted musician with the voice of an angel and able to share her heart-felt vision with all of us in such an uncompromising way. I'm literally terrified of large cities but Alicia takes that to a different level and makes me want to visit and explore new realms. She and her parents must be so proud of her achievements (hell, I'm proud of her!) and to make such an enormous footprint in the world of entertainment is the ultimate reward. To use an outdated euphemism, you go, girl !!! Love ya big time :)

this song honestly never gets old

Bringing back memories of when I had the pleasure of working in New York ,Brooklyn on and off over a few years , amazing place , kept promising myself I'll go back with the family one day,

New York is so stunningly absolutely genius and so humbling to hear good on you girl you've done the world proud

Absolutely beautiful and inspirational. Thank you Alicia Keys for creating a classic New York song. Bravo!

if that does not give you chills nothing will!!!!
