New York Minute

I discovered this song playing Fifa '07. It's about a guy who's feeling down and it's hurting a relationship he's in. He is desperate to keep her because "she's the best," but confident that it will work out if she just hangs in there. He feels that he's "the best" for her. The sound of the song is so cool because it reflects his belief in this relationship. As for Fifa '07, I think the "we live in two worlds apart" and "I don't want to wake 'till it's over" lines define the essence of the world cup.

this song is so amazing, if only for how catchy it is. but i think there is a meaning to it, about love for a city and and maybe being in love with someone there, and how it's never going to last forever.

Actually forget what I said about the "I dont want to wake till it's over" line. I had the wrong lyrics and wrong interpretation for that

the song has zero to do with New York, A New York minute is another connotation for a shot time.(a short time can't last forever) basically he gets dumped and he thinks its just a temporary thing, he thinks its a New York Minute breakup. As the song goes on he seems more accepting of it, "you got the best but you gotta beleive" becomes "got the best but i gotta beleive".

This is such a fun song to listen to. The entire song builds up to the last couple of lines which I think are the best of the song. The singer has a tone of despair and resignation through the last two lines and even the chorus before a little bit.
