New York Voices Lyrics

Do you hear the New York voices?
calling you from underground
Can you hear them on the river?
can you hear them on the sound?
Do you hear the New York voices?
calling you from down below
(can you hear them)
can you hear them at the Gravesend?
pulling you through the Narrows
(singing)
LIVE
LIKE YOUR ALIVE
LIVE
YOUR ALIVE
(repeat)
Do you hear the New York Voices?
calling you from Romer Shoals
do you hear them at the Battery?
calling you to the Ambrose...
(singing)
LIVE
LIKE YOUR ALIVE
LIVE
YOUR ALIVE
(repeat out)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
