    This is the most Broadway thing I’ve ever heard

    To clarify, Lin said on Twitter:
    “Chronologically, it goes right in the middle of Nonstop, after the Federalist Papers, when NY adopts the constitution. Which is why it could never be in the show. It's an alternate timeline Act One closer.”

      Well New York mostly became polluted and culturally diverse in the early 1900’s so it has a couple of fourth wall breaks as in referencing modern day NYC. And “in the same carriage” is referencing their large subway systems. Honestly, the only thing that specifically referenced colonial times is Lin’s costume, him pointing at the sky in the end, and the phrase “Upstate doesn’t trust us.”

      @@madjaster9620 The previous line was a reference to marriage, though, which also don't fit a busload of people unless you're talking about Futurama, and multiple people sharing a carriage for hire (especially someone like, say, Hamilton and Burr in this period) was not unheard of. It's a lovely parallel, but it does work in the period of the show.

      I feel like some major obstacles of achieving those vocals were a lack of sleep cuz of Hamilton + a shit ton of other projects + a toddler and a newborn. Good thing he prepared for this tho because by golly, he's never sung this good.

    So they’re cheering for me now
    In the streets, hear them cheering for me now
    Right up Broadway, they’re cheering for me now
    And one day, all the enemies I’ve made might hold their own parade
    But not today
    I came here with nothing
    Like hundreds before me
    And millions behind me
    You know you can find me in New York
    Where everyone’s different
    But share the same island
    Polluted and loud
    But you’re safe in the crowd
    Here in New York
    Today it’s my city
    Tomorrow, who knows
    Today we’re a country
    Let’s see how that goes
    Upstate doesn’t trust us
    They’re safe in their sameness
    They’re scared of what’s strange
    But each corner means change
    Here in New York
    Where else can you wander
    And hear every language
    We fight like a marriage
    Then share the same carriage
    We suffer the weather
    We bind and we tether
    This nation together
    I’m just getting started
    And time’s of the essence
    I can’t say I’ve made it
    But I’d never trade it
    They’ve thrown a parade, ha
    In my New York
    Cheering for me now
    Can you here them cheering for me now

    Can we take a moment to appreciate the voice of Lin? Ive been around since 21 Chump Street and In The Heights to Hamilton, and never have I heard the full vocal potential of him.
    I mean sure, he's got grade A+ lungs, look at any rap he's done, but damn that final New York. He's also got a lot of emotion coming through, it reminds me of Frank Sinatra singing about New York.
    This may be a Hamildrop but I cant think about this being Lin giving his thanks to New York, and frankly, I would love to give him a standing ovation for this song, it honestly sums up New York City perfectly.
    ((Ps. I am actually from NYC, so that part about fighting like old couples and feeling safe in a crowd is very true. I don't know, maybe I'm biased haha))

      OMG THE CHILLS. I cry every time I get up to this part. It's my favorite part of the entire song because of THE BELTS! Even though I'm a girl, I had to take a lot of time to practice the entire song, especially holding the final notes. Holding the notes at 2:39 is still very tricky for me, but I'm used to it now, because I've actually held those notes before. I feel proud of myself.

      No, it's a moment in the Chernow book that Lin and the director Tommy Kail both circled as a point to maybe include in the show but never did. New York put on a parade to celebrate Hamilton after the adopting of the constitution in the state, one of the only times he was celebrated. According to Lin, it would fit right in after the Federalist Papers, during Nonstop-which was why it wasn't used as Nonstop closes Act One. Hope this helps!

      EXACTLY THO. My dad surprised me, we were in the Hamilton store on broadway, right across from the Richard Rogers theatre. He showed me a cool book which he had hidden the freaking tickets in. Me being me, I thought someone *left the tickets in the book on accident* **FACEPALM**. But eventually I figured it out (haha im stupid), bought a 40 dollar t-shirt from the store and put it on over my other shirt so I could wear it during the show. It was kinda funny, I asked my dad when we were going to see it, and he said RIGHT NOW. I was like RIGHT NOWWWWW???????? And we had standing seats in the very back, so we couldn't see the top half of the stage. During the first act, I think this guy was the usher? I'm not really sure but he gave me a chair with a cushion on it so I could stand on my knees. But we came back for the second act and the same guy got us better seats in the very middles row of to the left and I discovered that the stage was REALLY TALL XD. But yeah long story (VERY long story) short, that was the best day of my life. Oh yeah and also I met the stars backstage BYEEEEEEE!!!!

    This is Classic Broadway, it is the most Broadway-ish song I have heard in ages!
    I can see why it might not have fit in Hamilton, but as a solo, this might be one of my favorite new songs.
    Ah the parade Hamilton never got to see and the song he sang in his heart, amazing!
    I love it and I honestly don't know which video I love more:
    The Classic black and white, tuxedoed, crisp, crooner style one.
    Or this one of him as Alexander Hamilton and the clips of New York.
    It's all like a beautiful love letter to New York and I adore it.

    [LYRICS]
    So they're cheering for me now
    And the streets hear them cheering for me now
    Right up Broadway they're cheering for me now
    And one day all the enemies I've made
    Might hold their own parade
    But not today
    I came hear with nothing
    Like hundreds before me
    And millions behind me
    You know you can find me...
    In NEW YORK!
    Where everyone's different
    But share the same island
    Polluted and loud
    But you're safe in the crowd
    Here in NEW YORK!
    Today it's my city
    Tomorrow who knows?
    Today we're a country
    Let's see how that goes
    Upstate doesn't trust us
    They're safe in their sameness
    They're scared of what's strange
    But each corner means change...
    Here in NEW YORK!
    Where else can you wander
    And hear every language
    We fight like a marriage
    Then share the same carriage
    We suffer the weather
    We bind and we tether
    In this nation together!
    I'm just getting started
    And times of the essence
    I can't say I've made it
    But I'd never trade it
    They've thrown a parade
    HA! In my NEW YORK!

    So they're cheering for me now
    In the streets, hear them cheering for me now
    Right up Broadway, they're cheering for me now
    And one day, all the enemies I've made might hold their own parade
    But not today
    I came here with nothing
    Like hundreds before me
    And millions behind me
    You know you can find me in New York
    Where everyone's different
    But share the same island
    Polluted and loud
    But you're safe in the crowd
    Here in New York
    Today it's my city
    Tomorrow, who knows
    Today we're a country
    Let's see how that goes
    Upstate doesn't trust us
    They're safe in their saneness
    They're scared of what's strange
    But each corner means change
    Here in New York
    Where else can you wander
    And hear every language
    We fight like a marriage
    Then share the same carriage
    We suffer the weather
    We bind and we tether
    This nation together
    I'm just getting started
    And time's of the essence
    I can't say I've made it
    But I'd never trade it
    They've thrown a parade
    Ha!
    In my New York
    Cheering for me now
    Can you hear them cheering for me now

    Every time I walk past the theater where Hamilton is on broadway me and my friends start singing the songs and don’t stop until we get to where we were walking to. I hope to one day see the musical but I don’t have enough “Washingtons on my side”. Lol
