about

The track is an exploration of duality, mirroring the city's capacity to cradle and challenge, to cage and liberate. SAER's curious and enticing lyrics describe the city as having an almost human-like presence, a protective entity that he reveres, and from whose icy breath and rising smoke he draws inspiration and strength.

The video for ‘NYC’, brought to life by director Paul Griffin, showcases a unique blend of advanced technology and artistic vision. Utilising Stable Diffusion and learning the craft in prompting, Griffin was able to visually echo the song's lyrical metaphors through AI-generated imagery. Although the creation process was entirely AI-driven, mastering the nuances of this cutting-edge technology and ensuring that the resulting piece told the story as intended, presented a fascinating challenge.

lyrics

Spellbound here, down avenues and subways with a hunger for your touch
I feel your embrace as I slip into your hidden depths
To find a way, to stay another day

You are my glorious fighter, so furious
Rise up from the ground, hear that sound, now

I came to collect, so did all those million other souls around me
From skies icy breath, to the rising smoke that I inhale
You have me now, and I'm compelled to swear

That you are my glorious, a fighter, so furious
Rise up from the ground, hear that sound

New York

At the feet of giants, knocking doors of Gods
Reborn, I'm part of you. And oh, I long for you
Your liberty tames me, makes the bars that cage me
I'm free, but craving you. New York, I long for you
At the feet of giants, knocking doors of Gods
Reborn, I'm part of you. New York, I long for you

You are my glorious fighter, so furious
Rise up from the ground, hear that sound

New York
