“New York” was originally written as an acoustic song by the band’s bassist Tal, and after working with Frontman Jonny on the melody and lyrics, the song gradually became an epic story full of upheavals, told in just over 5 minutes. If you ask the band, the song (and the video which was directed by Gil Peled) feel like a tragic pop candy, sprayed with particles of romance inspired by bands such as The Cure and Interpol.
