new york state of mind
-
billy joel'in turnstiles adindaki albumunden olmaklan birlikte, aslinda "new york state" kelimesine yapilmis bir pun (harf oyunlu cin x) kivamindadir.
"new yorklu'nun kafa yapisinda" anlamini tasir ingilizce'de. ozellikle martin scorsese, woody allen gibi new york kokenli sanatcilarin yaptiklari islerine yansittiklari rivayet edilir.
bir ukte dolmasi iken simdi de sozlerini yazayim da tam olsun diyorum;
some folks like to get away
take a holiday from the neighborhood
hop a flight to miami beach
or to hollywood
but i'm talking 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 -
bir shirley bassey versiyonu da olan billy joel şarkısı. yalniz shirley bassey yorumunda o kadar berbat bi richard clayderman kivami yakalanmis ki mümkünse bu yorumu dinlememek lazim. diger yandan billy joel kendi eseri olan bu sarkiyi gayet guzel seslendirmistir, ancak su da bir gercektir ki bir kadın sesinin "i'm in a new york state of mind" derkenki havasi baskadir. ayrıca ayşe gencer bu şarkıyı pek güzel söyler.

nas'ın illmatic albümünün 2. ve en güzel parçasıdır kanaatimce.
hayvanlık gibi olmasın ama sözleri de paste edeyim:
intro: nas
yeah yeah, aiyyo black it's time (word?)
(word, it's time nigga?)
yeah, it's time man (aight nigga, begin)
yeah, straight out the fuckin dungeons of rap
where fake niggaz don't make it back
i don't know how to start this shit, yo, now
verse one: nas
rappers i monkey flip em with the funky rhythm i be kickin
musician, inflictin composition
of pain i'm like scarface sniffin cocaine
holdin a m-16, see with the pen i'm extreme, now
bulletholes left in my peepholes
i'm suited up in street clothes
hand me a nine and i'll defeat foes
y'all know my steelo with or without the airplay
i keep some e&j, sittin bent up in the stairway
or either on the corner bettin grants with the celo champs
laughin at baseheads, tryin to sell some broken amps
g-packs get off quick, forever niggaz talk shit
remeniscing about the last time the task force flipped
niggaz be runnin through the block shootin
time to start the revolution, catch a body head for houston
once they caught us off guard, the mac-10 was in the grass and
i ran like a cheetah with thoughts of an assassin
pick the mac up, told brothers, "back up," the mac spit
lead was hittin niggaz one ran, i made him backflip
heard a few chicks scream my arm shook, couldn't look
gave another squeeze heard it click yo, my shit is stuck
try to cock it, it wouldn't shoot now i'm in danger
finally pulled it back and saw three bullets caught up in the chamber
so now i'm jetting to the building lobby
and it was filled with children probably couldn't see as high as i be
(so whatchu sayin?) it's like the game ain't the same
got younger niggaz pullin the triggers bringing fame to they name
and claim some corners, crews without guns are goners
in broad daylight, stickup kids, they run up on us
fo'-fives and gauges, macs in fact
same niggaz'll catch a back to back, snatchin yo' cracks in black
there was a snitch on the block gettin niggaz knocked
so hold your stash until the coke price drop
i know this crackhead, who said she gotta smoke nice rock
and if it's good she'll bring ya customers in measuring pots, but yo
you gotta slide on a vacation
inside information keeps large niggaz erasin and they wives basin
it drops deep as it does in my breath
i never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined
i think of crime when i'm in a new york state of mind
("new york state of mine" --> rakim *repeat 4x*)
verse two: nas
be havin dreams that i'ma gangster -- drinkin moets, holdin tecs
makin sure the cash came correct then i stepped
investments in stocks, sewein up the blocks
to sell rocks, winnin gunfights with mega cops
but just a nigga, walking with his finger on the trigger
make enough figures until my pockets get bigger
i ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin
give me a smith and wessun i'll have niggaz undressin
thinkin of cash flow, buddah and shelter
whenever frustrated i'ma hijack delta
in the p.j.'s, my blend tape plays, bullets are strays
young bitches is grazed each block is like a maze
full of black rats trapped, plus the island is packed
from what i hear in all the stories when my peoples come back, black
i'm livin where the nights is jet black
the fiends fight to get crack i just max, i dream i can sit back
and lamp like capone, with drug scripts sewn
or the legal luxury life, rings flooded with stones, homes
i got so many rhymes i don't think i'm too sane
life is parallel to hell but i must maintain
and be prosperous, though we live dangerous
cops could just arrest me, blamin us, we're held like hostages
it's only right that i was born to use mics
and the stuff that i write, is even tougher than dice
i'm takin rappers to a new plateau, through rap slow
my rhymin is a vitamin, hell without a capsule
the smooth criminal on beat breaks
never put me in your box if your shit eats tapes
the city never sleeps, full of villians and creeps
that's where i learned to do my hustle had to scuffle with freaks
i'ma addict for sneakers, twenties of buddah and bitches with beepers
in the streets i can greet ya, about blunts i teach ya
inhale deep like the words of my breath
i never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death
i lay puzzle as i backtrack to earlier times
nothing's equivalent, to the new york state of mind
("new york state of mind" --> rakim *repeat 4x*)

billy joel 'a ait olan 1976 tarihlidir. sabahin cok erken saatlerinde camdan disariya bakarak dinlendiginde, kahveyi yudumlandikca insana kendisini daha cok evinde hissettiren, keyif veren sarkidir. gercekten bazen insan new york'ta olmasa da new york state of mind hissedebilir. iste bu da o sarkinin gucudur.
