New York is a city worthy of an anthem. LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy apparently agrees. His ‘New York I Love You, But You’re Bringing Me Down”–the closer on his brilliant Sound Of Silver LP–is a sweeping, melancholy ode to the city that never sleeps. For this newly released music video, Murphy enlists the help of his good friend Kermit to tell us like it is, with the glorious city used as a backdrop. The song becomes especially relevent when Kermit sings “Your mild billionaire mayor’s/ Now convinced he’s a king.” Take that, Bloomberg.
