Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin’ today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up, in a city that never sleeps
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
And find I’m king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York..New York
I’ll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you, New York..New York
By this time, I am sure you know that Clay Aiken blogged on Sunday afternoon. I posted it here right away!!! It was exciting to see the Red Letters announcing that Clay had a message for us.
One of the many interesting things that Clay shared was that he was busy packing because:
After almost nine years of living exclusively in NC, I’m in the process of moving to NYC part time. I’ll be splitting time between NC and NYC, but splitting 12 years worth of furniture and stuff into two much smaller homes — selling a lot of it and giving a lot away — is making me pull my hair out!!!
The entertainment and media worlds are in NYC, so that’s where I likely need to be for a year or so. I’ll still be incredibly present in NC, as it is always where I call home and it’s where I want to continue to try to do whatever I can to make positive change.
Change and growth are necessary, no doubt. It’s time to grow and change and embrace new opportunities.
Another thing that made me smile while reading the blog was this:
…I AM NOT STOPPING SINGING and I AM NOT DISAPPEARING…You also need to hear this…. I could never stop singing. Singing WILL happen, just likely through different avenues than we may have been spoiled by in years past. I just need to find different ways to use my voice too… while I still have it.
Clay ended his beautiful blog with the following:
…I love you ALL with a STRENGTH that you may never believe nor understand.
I look forward to whatever is coming for us all in 2015…
Of course, Clay had a lot more to say in his blog. Be sure and go over to the Official Fan Club and read the entire blog. I think you will enjoy every word. OFC
So…Clay has spend a lot of time in New York over the past 12 years…do you remember these occasions??
