The official video for Empire State of Mind, directed by Hype Williams syncs up a montage of photos to the beat while illustrating the lyrics of the song.

This song will never cease to give me goosebumps. While out on Saturday night, we first heard it while walking down the street to the subway and a car driving by had it blasting out the windows. Next we heard it at The Stanton Social, while eating dinner. And we were graced with the track one more time while out dancing later that night. No matter where and/or when, I hear this song, and I remember how blessed I am to be able to live here.
