AMANDA LEAR - NEW YORK


Amanda Lear - New York


As is probably painfully obvious from the last couple of songs I've posted, I'm compiling my music for a summer in New York. The Big Pear, as my friend Lou Brannigan would say. So here's another great NY-themed song, by Amanda Lear, a sort of Italo-Doom, Escape From New York-esque meditation on the future of the city.

Written in 1981, Lear finds herself in a bleak dystopian New York of 1990, and she's just walking around basically. Class. From the album Incognito.
