Citizen Soldier - Song 5 - Nyc 5/6/23

A Surreal Ending

New York City, oh dear, what is happening? I never thought we'd end a show and tour with a shot of Diet Coke. This life is weird, but isn't that the beauty of it? Our journey through the New York heat has been so much fun, and I must express my gratitude to each and every one of you. To anyone who has supported us, whether in this room, through a livestream, or on YouTube, I implore you to come talk to me after this because I am not leaving until I hug and thank every single one of you. That's how much your support means to me.

Finding Strength in Adversity

If you've ever been made better or stronger because somebody hated you, then this song is for you. New York, this is our way of saying thank you. It's a reminder that adversity has the power to shape us, to mold us into something greater. It's easy to appreciate the people who love us, but it's the critics, the doubters, and the haters who truly challenge us to become the best versions of ourselves.

The Unseen Heroes

As we stand here on this stage, basking in the energy of this iconic city, it's crucial to recognize that it's not just the performers in the spotlight who make this magic happen. It's the crew, the unsung heroes working tirelessly behind the scenes. They make sure the lights shine bright, the sound is perfect, and every moment of the show is unforgettable. So, let's give a round of applause to the people who often go unnoticed but play a pivotal role in bringing our art to life.

A City of Rebirth

New York, your energy is contagious. It's a city that never sleeps, a city that thrives on diversity, and a city that has seen rebirth time and time again. Just as the phoenix rises from its ashes, this city continues to evolve, reinvent itself, and inspire countless dreams. We, too, can learn from this city's resilience. We can adapt, overcome, and transform ourselves to rise from any challenges that life throws our way.

In the grand tapestry of life, New York is but one vibrant thread. It's a place where dreams are pursued, where diversity is celebrated, and where the human spirit is truly alive. So, let's take a page from New York's book and face life's uncertainties with the same spirit of adventure and possibility.

In conclusion, New York, thank you for having us. You've shown us that life's quirks and surprises are what make it truly remarkable. As we leave this stage, let's carry the lessons we've learned here with us – to embrace the unexpected, find strength in adversity, and celebrate the unsung heroes who make it all possible. In the end, life's weirdness is what makes it beautiful, just like a shot of Diet Coke to wrap up a show. Cheers to the weird and wonderful journey of life!
