about

NYC: New York City was a natural fit for John Lennon in 1971. He considered it the cultural capital of the world. While he was very exuberant over starting a new chapter in his life there, he wished he could have shared his excitement with his late mother, Julia. If only he could hear his mum’s reassuring response.

lyrics

 NYC (Letter to Julia)

I got nowhere to post this letter
I don’t know where you’ve gone
I spent a long time screaming
Just to carry on

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

Inside I feel you’re present
My future feels your past
I should just accept it
But it never hurts to ask

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

It’s a long, long way from you
It’s gonna be good for me
It’s a long long way from Liverpool
But it’s where I want to be

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

I miss you and the music
The things you shared with me
I won’t forget us singing Elvis
And dancing to Chuck Berry
I always see myself in you
I search for you in faces
There’s a space inside of me
A pain that time erases

I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
But I want you to know I made it

I’m in NYC!

Tried to call you the other day
I could swear I heard your voice
Almost forgot you’d gone away
This time not by choice


I’m right here, John, right here
It’s where I’ve always been
It’s where I’ll always be
And I want you to know I made it
I’m in NYC!
And I want you to know I made it
I’m in NYC!

That’s New York City to you!
