What popular song (past or present) written about New York do you feel best captures the spirit of the city?

There are few songs that capture the sense of hope and promise that New York City holds for those who go to live there than this song by the Irish folk group the Wolfe Tones. It tells of a young man of 18 years of age, who leaves his homeland with the promise of a new, and better, life in New York City. An uncle is already installed there in the New York Police Department; the young man leaves Ireland full of optimism, but with his father's words of caution also ringing in his ears.

He arrives in the US full of excitement, but is also completely overwhelmed. But he eventually builds a life for himself in the city, and much later he recalls "It's been 22 years since I set foot in Dublin My kids know to use the correct knife and fork But I'll never forget the green grass and the rivers As I keep law and order in the Streets of New York" youtube.com/watch?v=vXyv1TW4R4A.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
