I never get tired of the Fagen Becker sound. And all those great musicians that appear on those albums these are masterpieces. I’ve been listening to them since 1973. Props to the producers and sound engineers.
@@johnrains2339 Listen to the phrase "there's a bounty on your face", "that be the fever of the chase", "give the man some whackin space" etc. Same recycled phrase as the DF line I mentioned. Even goes to the relative major chord in both tunes.
Unmistakably a New York sound here, and yes, a lovely video. I remember someone calling out the same kind of "high-heeled elegant style" on Sophie B Hawkins' "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover", they both have that suave, soulful, cinematic swagger. :)
My kinda heaven - Driving at night around NYC ! - With Dan on the stereo system & my lady Paulla at my side - One can dream - One day maybe ? Thankyou for sharing this audio video gem !
Interesting! I had never heard this song before. Donald seems to have reused part of the chorus melody of this song in the Steely Dan song "Everything Must Go" from the last Steely Dan album. This song also reminds me of the song "Century's End" he did for the movie "Bright lights, Big City ". Maybe this was recorded in that period (1988).
it's from 1993. Jennifer Warnes did the song a year earlier. interesting facts: -he wrote the music but the lyrics were written for a Spike Lee movie. Song didn't make it -the reason it sounds "Century's End" is it was initially written during when he wrote "Century's End" for the soundtrack of Michael J. Fox's movie "Bright Lights, Big City." Also on that soundtrack - LL Cool J's "Goin' Back to Cali"
Thanks for the info! It does indeed sound more like "Century's End" than the sound (production) on his Kamakiriad album. Maybe the recording was 'shelved' and then later released in 1993 (?).
Demo from Donald Fagen's aborted follow-up to the Nightfly? That makes sense. Stylistically and chord progression wise, if fits in with Lazy Nina, Love Will Make it Right era stuff.
For me too...if I ever get to The Big Apple...in the meantime I'll keep it around for my part of the world...Armpit, Ohio....just gotta love the stare's back...LOL
Maria Lopez Steely 'Don’s' ‘Big Noise, New York’ is a ‘(Without Your) Love Song’ that recognizes no international boundaries, neither in space, nor time.
I wonder if it was because it was made in the years between The Nightfly and Kamakiriad, and maybe by the time he made Kamakiriad he didn’t think it went with the album.
Fagen was a perfectionist, if it wasn't absolutely pristine by his standards, he would retake or drop the tracks. It's sad that he dropped what could inarguably have been next biggest hits, but that's the way he is, and I respect that. After all, he still is one of the greatest musicians I've ever heard.
“Every stranger spoke your name, every sign said yesterday…” Man, it’s hard to believe this was 35 years ago. I was twenty one years old, and had read Jay McInerney’s book before I saw the movie. This song is part of the soundtrack of my youth, a disproportionate amount of which was authored by Don & Walt. It really brings me right back to 1988.
Ever so captivated.... I have three favorite Groups & this is #one,Unbeatable,The feeling I receive is so magical,The talent is off the charts phenomenal & Donald Fagens voice makes me melt, PS:The icing on the cake would be to See these people perform in person & to meet everyone!!! They all are majestic & true dreams come true of the business to enjoy immensely, PS: The twin towers I'm sure must be seen here,I'll have to keep looking periodically through my travels.....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
"PS: The twin towers I'm sure must be seen here,I'll have to keep looking periodically through my travels.....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹" What a curious, impossible, thing to say. I’ve known DF’s song from about 2004, and one thing that is so enthralling about, ‘BL,BC,’ - like a magical spell - is that it’s almost...almost... in the far-background, as much about a lost-love, as it is about the also twinned-vanished, Twin Towers. Twice in the vid are images of where they once stood, now two floating-baths of illuminated Nothing. A notable public person, who I will leave unmentioned, here, once wanted to say that, internationally, there was the absence of a presence of the U.S. What he actually said was that it was “the presence of an absence.” Coincidentally, that dumb, ineloquent error, states the very heart and soul of this excruciating song.
Being originally from New Jersey looking at the New York skyline brings back a lot of memories. I was actually able to see it from my house on a clear day!
I'm obsessed with this to the point of searching down an actual single version of Trans Island Skyway which includes this song a a live version of Home At Last. 😲😍👌
I e never been to NYC, have always wanted to go. What a trip it could and would be!! Maybe one day, or afternoon, it could happen. In the Universe that this song creates. Of course it would be pointless without that special someone, you know who she is. Hell,she's lived in the city, a perfect guide, friend and intellectual partner. And then...........

ya, he's got a certain fondness for phrases and chords that you hear repeatedly in his work, but heck you can say that about any composer. Bach, Haydn, Debussy etc; all composers have a sound, an orchestration that they use when composing. that's quite normal

With Donald Fagan can't lose
Donald Fagan is a National treasure.

A human treasure. I wish he was from my country.😁

aint that the truth abojut the same time 1975 never heard any better music since
The music always sounds fresh
Mr. Roger ''The Immortal'' Nichols (1944-2011), Steely Dan's great sound architect.
You can't stay wound up listening these brilliant pieces. Study TheDan right now....beyond words...
Their isn’t enough words to make a Study Of The Dan
This is the first time I am hearing this track. It's absolutely brilliant as always!
+1. Excellent.
The beats are super layered, complicated and masterful!!!!!!!!
It's the Wendel/Nichols drum sound school!
He reused the same melody at 1:25 in Steely Dan's Everything Must Go. Good stuff.
The melody during the lyric "this old town's no fun at all" right before that? Reused for Godwhacker. 🤯
@@nessick6378Doesn’t sound like it to me

I keep coming back to this over and over. The fact that this was just a throw away piece is enough to make you realize what he's capable of.
Great song. Love Donald Fagens voice..Amazing view of NYC
This song...the essence of New York town in song...simply surreal. What a way to celebrate the essence of the Big Apple.....In a song!
I am a Newyorker and you, 1 Tera Percent, did a great job in matching the music with images of my city. Bravo!
The movie was forgettable, the soundtrack unforgettable. 'Bright Lights, Big City'.Big Donald making this one to remember!
Like 'FM'.. The only good thing in the movie is the SD song.
This is the first time I have heard this song! Oh my! I love it. Must repeat for a while. :)
Same for me! Why doesn't this absolute gem have a higher profile?
I like the way they show New York city the view of it.
My kinda heaven - Driving at night around NYC ! - With Dan on the stereo system & my lady Paulla at my side - One can dream - One day maybe ? Thankyou for sharing this audio video gem !
That harmony is right on.
This is my first time ever hearing this song. Oh wow!
Please release this as a single! It's wonderful
My very 1st time to listen to this one as it wasn't part of the Kamakiriad album...It's really good...Thanks
This man is musical soul personified
New York...New York...what a town...what a sound!

The name of the song is Everything Must Go.
What the HECK !!!!HOW COOL to find this little ditty!! Even though not much diff than his usual stuff its fun to find!!
"....every stranger spoke your name, every sign said yesterday........." Oh my that is sad......but I get it.
It is a place I cannot go, into that sadness. I go into it some with this tune, but try to get out again.
true bliss,, song be in my head when in nyc
For me too...if I ever get to The Big Apple...in the meantime I'll keep it around for my part of the world...Armpit, Ohio....just gotta love the stare's back...LOL

Awesome song. As always Fagan hit it out of the park.🎹🎼🎼🎼🎼🎬
I can’t believe I still remember most of the lyrics.
Exquisite music from the Don. Brilliant!
Lyrically, it's a mirror image of, "I'm Not the Same Without You" on Sunken Condos. Wonderful. 👍
to my ear, the first vocal phrase is quite similar to "good stuff" from the same album. just slower.
@@romulus_ I mean the contrasting ideas of being heartbroken over a break-up and being on top of the world after a break-up. 👍
@@M123OCT ah sorry, I've been day-drinking. absolutely.
This tune with Jennifer Warnes is worth hearing.
There is only 1 NYC and 1 Donald Fagen both unique and both so VERY AWESOME!!!
You know this is perfect music for the future,don't you.
Love Donald Fagen and his jazz. Steely Dan is one of my favorite groups.
How was this left off his album? It's a masterpiece.
True! There's a lot of songs Donald did not publish on his albums. Hope he will find time to do.
Movie Soundtrack
indeed and then some

Big Noise, New York, COVID 19. .. now this old town is no fun at all.
For now... but it will be again someday.
Donald Fagen is perfect for post Covid-19 New York. Aaah the smell of economic collapse for IFR of 0,23%.
It will be back,
I’ve just can’t get enough of spoken word to a heavenly message sounds
So clean and pure. Hard to describe otherwise.
That's a great track and I also enjoyed the scenery. Why wasn't it on any of the albums? Would have fitted the groove of Sunken Condos very nicely.
Nn mi stanco mai di ascoltarlo che grande!
Did I just hear a smidge of Everything Must Go in this song?
This song has a similar vibe to Everything Must Go, if you ask me. Even a small portion of the melody matches up with EMG. Still love it, though!
It's basically the original everything must go. Everything must go was based off this since they decided not to release this.
Love, love, love his music.
bonita musica sonidos elegantes muy finos
Most and specially on this one!! Triumph on new.. .!!!!
You never get tired of his music
Love this. And you……….
...every stranger spoke your name...every sign said yesterday....
perfect! Musical perfection.
Toots theillman comes to mind
Nice quote from "Everything Must Go" between the..raindrops 😉
Is Fagen singing falsetto? ha!
Has envision brought out to light..
Donald Fagenらしい曲調がなんとも言えない。。
I.G.Y.も好きですが、この曲も同じくらい好き。
Cool tune.
NYC! Perfect.
sonidos finos muy al estilo de donald fagen
He is indeed,a national treasure to New York .
THE GOAT
Wonderful version. Jennifer Warnes does a great version of this as well.
Awesome.
Another great song by Donald - Walter Becker's production & is that Frank Floyd on harmonica or DF synth trickery - my ears are getting old? 👂🎶
Cause we're goin out of biz, ironic how that album came out and Walter went to the New Fronter💋🎹💚😷🥼

Everything must change....
Steel,$ Dan's Big noise! Total premiere on the plus ..and more than heard the ear I tell ya!!
I think this has a bit of 'Everything Must Go' in its vocal melody.
I was looking for this, it's clearly the inspiration for "Everything must go."
Faz parte da minha geracao, Stellen Dan Dann
Super
This song also reminds me of that song "The Caves of Altamira" the music of it.
This has a motif from "Everything Must Go" (or other way around)
Chills
steeley dan the greatist eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.
A kioskin boot to the alley oh malleyh!****

i SAW THE BRIGHT Lights Big city because Donald Fagen was in the credits
And we're going out of business.

Exactly
