I listened to Current Joys' album "Wild Heart" a few months ago, but I didn't register or dissect many of the songs since I was focusing schoolwork. Recently, while listening to my Liked Songs on shuffle, "New York City" came on, and I was all over it. Perhaps I'm just biased, having plans to take a trip to New York this June, but this song hits in all the right places for a summer vacation-vibe. Current Joys' consistent nostalgic feel is naturally present in this song, like many of their others, though it's a much more upbeat track than what one would expect from them. For a Texas boy like me, "New York City" encapsulates everything I'm looking forward to in a trip to the big city; fear, memories, opportunities, and pure excitement.
