Empire State of Mind

heard this song couple of months back

but ok… just like the other pop songs

till it was played on National Geographic

i saw it on National Geographic

not MTV, not Channel V

an ad about the Empire of Dubai

that makes all the differences

*

sorry

i just couldn’t describe it

in complete sentences and paragraphs

let’s brainstorm the ideas

those that pop up when i am listening

to this song

*

Empire…

Civilization…

Globalization…

Borderless world…

Solar powered city… Dubai?

Skyscrapers…

Flying with business class…

*

Empire State of Mind / Jay-z Feat. Alicia Keys

Party In The U.S.A. / Miley Cyrus 

Weezer / Beverly Hills 

*

New York State of Mind / Billy Joel / Live in BBC, 1978 

New York State of Mind / Ken Hirai cover

*

Miracle or Mirage – Dubai / National Geograhic

this is not the one featuring Jay Z’s song

just in case you really has got nothing to do

*

it makes no difference where you are

there is National Geographic

there is Facebook

there is Youtube

*

p.s.

i heart the way Inception

portrays a city

and from one to another

*
