From the 1989 soundtrack of Working Girl, directed by Mike Nichols. Carly won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for this song. Official Website: www.carlysimon.com
WTF? Yeah, I don't listen to CS, and I'm not sure why they dredged up this fossil of a song and put it in my recommended list. Not a bad song, but weird. I've gotten a lot of older song and things showing up in my list lately.
The, "Working Girl," closing credits version along with the post-9/11 USPS Holiday commercial version should be intertwined. The intertwined version should then be available, as a charity single, for COVID-19 relief causes.
Don't you miss the music of the 80's? It had such a joy and hopefulness to it! Even the sad songs had such feeling, such soul in it. There was a genuineness in it that is missing from so much of the music these days!
I went with my family back to New York last summer in 2023. As part of our trip, we took the Staten Island Ferry, and I kept having this song play over and over in my head. This song lives rent-free in my brain.
@@spaceodds1985Try again.. Its for the working woman lol.. Before this movie came out women were content with being house wives. After this they burned their aprons and started getting degrees. The movie itself was inspired when the writer first saw all the working women in NY
Always profoundly sad when I see an older movie with the Towers in the background. I remember the morning they were "hit" by planes. I was getting ready for a job interview, watching the news, when they showed the atrocity live. I thought it was "fake," because it just couldn't be real - looked like a movie scene it was THAT horrendous. I went to the job interview, actually got the job, don't remember why because I don't even know what my responses were to the questions they asked - I was just devastated by what I'd seen. Sorry, long answer to your question, but it always breaks my heart when I see an old movie with the Towers & all I "see" in my memory, are people jumping to their death from the Towers.
MaryGrey60 and I was home with my 3 year old... I remember going to donate blood and the lines were so long... but it turned out they didn’t need blood, there were so few survivors. I’m glad you got the job, tho. Just funny how events shape us.
@@marcelotortelli800 Not to nitpick but: 1) it was helped that Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media category was only established in 1988. I believe many songs would have achieved that stat before if there was a separate category for film tracks at the time. 2) this song won Golden Globe and Oscar in 1989 and Grammy in 1990 so not the same year. 3) "The Way We Were", "Evergreen" and "You Light Up My Life" all won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Song of the Year each. "Evergreen" also won a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Barbra Streisand. 4) "Last Dance" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for Donna Summer. 5) both "Up Where We Belong" and "The Time of My Life" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, for Jennifer Warnes with Joe Cocker and Bill Medley, respectively. 6) "Flashdance... What a Feeling!" won both Oscar and Golden Globe as well as a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Irene Cara. So Carly Simon was actually far from the first one.
My grandmother wasn´t from America but she woke up everyday at 4 am and took a bus to the ferry in winter and summer and the trip was one hour long. Then she had to take another bus to her job. Great woman.
This song and movie inspired me to work hard in school as an 8th grader. Years later, I sang it to myself as I looked out the window of my downtown office on the 20th floor in my first job as a young attorney. Still gives me chills.
@@wertdeg "Let all the dreamers wake the nation." Have you seen the film "Working Girl" that the song is from? You'll understand the song much better if you've seen the movie.
In his autobiography, "Lucky Jim", her ex-husband, Jim Hart, describes the collaboration he and Carly had in writing the lyrics to this song. She thanked him for writing the "best lines" of the song in her Oscar acceptance speech. Not sure why he wouldn't have been given a writing credit.
I love this song, but seeing the twin towers is just heartbreaking. I read every bio of the almost 3000 people lost on that horrible day. I just had to do something to honor them. Almost THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE. It's overwhelming to think about AND I WILL NEVER FORGET!!! God bless all those lost and their loved ones.
This song takes me to my Mom and Dad Young, early twenties. Fresh out of Pedagogics School @ Xalapa, Mexico They arrived at Mexico City just after WW2. With just a few possessions and Very little money. Renting an apartment, working hard. Elementary school teachers. Barely making ends meet. Raising kids on love and values, and little else. They gave me everything. I owe them the world. Everything I’ve come to love and enjoy and appreciate, I owe to them. Work hard, educate yourself and your kids. May God bless your Family.
This just popped up, she always has a way of making me feel strong, wobbly, happy & sad at the same time! Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful woman.
One of the GOATs in music written specifically for a movie. Carly's music is timeless. Over 30 years and this song is just as fresh as it was in the '80s.
Yup: getting your song in the soundtrack of a Major Motion Picture just jumped it's budget and quality up by a factor of 10, at least. It's sort of cheating... :-)
Thanks for that memory Lisa... I grade my women's outfits by the shoulder pads... Quarterback, Receiver, or Line Backer... Funny, the ones with Line Backer Shoulder Pads would get pissed if you went up and pounded on the pads and then said, Hit em Hard... My football teammates never got upset... Go Figure
I'll never forget this movie. I saw it on the plane back from Arizona to Michigan. My sister and I had gone out to visit our Mom, and neither one of us wanted to come home. We loved it out there so much. All these years later, my sister moved out there and my Mom is gone now. This clip brings back such happy memories.
Saw the film the first time on a ferry from Liverpool to Belfast (It was a long crossing. Watched Suspect with Cher & Dennis Quaid as well). The soundtrack was the first thing that stuck out to me. That & Sigourney Weaver in *that* scene. I was only 16 at the time...
This perfectly represents the zeitgeist of the era. It was when I was growing up. People really did move that fast back then. Mom putting on panty hose and shoulder pads while making breakfast. Dad wearing a suit and running out the door with his suitcase. People were really focused and energetic back then. Felt wholesome, capitalistic and forward thinking. Sad the kids today won’t experience that. Different times... Let the river run Let all the dreamers wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights the streets that lead them And sirens call them on with a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the darkening dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the colour of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run (Let the river run) Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers) Wake the nation (wake the nation) Come, the New Jerusalem
Yes, my friend. We lost so much since then, good music, good art, the spirit of innovation, innocence, education, truth, real money and real investments. I am sure this list can be continued ... It's time for a New Jerusalem. Best from Germany,
Its called work ethic , knowing ambitIon amd capitalism and achievement ARE still good things, and belief in things larger than yourself. Some of us still have it . Believe , and neuter the rest so they stop feeding the current problems lol
You don't even know! I saw this movie when I was a little child. This movie was The Secret of My Success to me in the 1980s. And I remember, I had a working mom growing up, and this movie is right up there with 9 to 5. God bless Melanie Griffith - she has a true heart!😅😊😮
I just lost my mom 31July2017 I have such happy memories of her associated with this song on a trip we took up to Chicago. Miss her soooo badly. RIP Peggy Ann Rice 1949-2017

...she's always fabulous and this is an iconic, film anthem with the added bonus of the video framing the Twin Towers so prominently, certainly one of her very best songs...)
Oh my heart is aching. It's a cool song with some of the worst fashions of the 1980's :) Shoulder pads for women blown out hair and crazy exercise machines all in a 3 minute video, It's classic.
Jay MacB I'm from Manchester in the North-West of England and agree with you regarding the range of dialects here in the UK! If I were to just walk three or four miles towards Oldham in Lancashire, even before there in Middleton, the accent is drastically different from where I am in Manchester. The UK must be unique in this sense. American accents are again, varied and many. It must be a similar feeling for an American, say from Washington State travelling to Nebraska or South Carolina - the accent, dialect and even the culture to a certain degree must seem alien. I also agree with you Jay MacB with regards to the south of England; although I don't mind the southerners, the way in which they say certain words is akin to finger nails on a blackboard, plus the fact that they genuinally not as friendly as us northerners - fact! I've visited enough to learn that this isn't a stereotype lol. What can be said about Carly Simon? She is one of the most attractive and charismatic performers in history. She is also one of those artists that has never produced a bad record and in that sense is the gift that just keeps on giving! Talented, sexy, feminine, statuesque, highly-intelligent, personable and immensely charismatic......I could also be talking about the superb Sigourney Weaver here aswell - my favourite actress, who is 'yet' to receive an Academy Award! I find this quite stunning really. She was nominated for Gorillas In The Mist and Working Girl....but is yet to win one. Anyway, great comment mate and you're spot on about Carly Simon's dress sense, she always appeared a classy bird......and her hair! Great, great hair! Chris (UK).
Piers, I agree so much. It was a time when we could be happy and enjoy life.I was a kid in the 80s. We were so optimistic. Today everything is fear and hate.
I was 20 in 1980 so the 80's were really good to me, I was single with no responsibilities, there was always a band playing somewhere or a decent bar to go to. My kids are all 20 something's and they can't afford the sort of social life I had in the 80's. We didn't have cell phones, the internet or social media. What we had was the what's on page in the local paper, a telephone and a weekly wage so if you were broke by Thursday it didn't matter because Friday was payday.
I'm watching this video on the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and seeing the Towers gives me sense of nostalgia and profound sadness. I worked at Ground Zero, and in many ways the attacks still seem like they were just a few months ago. I have loved this song since I first heard it at the "Working Girl" premiere in NYC in 1988, and still think it is one of the best songs to have been written for a film.
Jason Downs I know that feeling. God do I know. In a moment, my whole life changed. I can now help others to achieve their goals. That's my mission. That I can give to others without expecting anything in return. Except, that the recipient flows that favor to another when they are able too. Its called the Law of Giving. Every day is a blessing and a gift.
One of my favorite singers performing one of my favorite song from one of my all-time favorite movies. In case you didn't recognize him, the guy on the guitar is Harry Anderson, Judge Harry Stone from the TV series "Night Court".
+R369B news for you my friend.. it was an American, he did it for the insurance? do you really think it was insured just in time by coincidence?? thousands of hard-working people died so one man can get filthy richer than he already was.. i feel sorry for him when jesus comes back because people like that will never repent, and so never see the kingdom of God
+In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all. Jesus doesn't like it when you spread unfounded rumors. Merry Christmas. Go with God.
Get real, wake up and smell the coffee dogg. There aint no conspiracy theory on this one. You got Islamists thinking they can rule the world, and the crazy thing is, we have set up our laws that allows them to do so!
Let the river run Let all the dreamers wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights the streets that lead them And sirens call them on with a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the darkening dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the colour of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run (Let the river run) Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers) Wake the nation (wake the nation) Come, the New Jerusalem
I miss the days without the internet and cell phones. Don't get me wrong I use it and love many aspects of it but still, those of us who lived without it understand.
@@hugowilliams1988Now, people stay in their little "circle of friends" and most of the time, all you see is the top of their heads. It sickens me to the core to live in a society like this. Back then, society was actually a people society if you know what I mean. One would call a friend or friends and meet up and hang out together without phone distractions. All conversations were constantly interactive. I really miss all that. Those days have been destroyed with technology. Don't get me wrong, technology is a very useful tool and comes in handy. Google maps is a good example of this. It's when people allow technology to take over their lives to the point to where they become very disconnected by others around them. Now, every thing is time, money, time, money, time, money, time, money............ and extremely little social time left in most people's lives. Very, very, very depressing times we are living in now........ 😔
I loved the ending when she was telling her friend guess where i am now....she had her own office with her own executive assistant...i felt she finally earn her position..
This song's been my morning alarm for God knows how long. Probably since 2020. I personally hope that when the forthcoming Working Girl musical coming to Broadway, this song is included. I could definitely see it as an opening and possibly closing number.
Great lyrics, brings a tear to my eye the lyric, "The New Jerusalem" with the Twin Towers in the background. Also, dam, Carly is hot in this video. 😍😍😍
I remember sitting on the shores in downtown Jersey City NJ across from the World Trade Center and listening to this song. I would later be a first responder on that fateful day as a JCPD Officer with my badge number being 911. GOD damn those responsible to hell or what they did. And may GOD forgive me for feeling that way.
I live in Sweden and I was 19 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember hearing about it in the news and how it made me feel. I felt the exact same way hearing about the Oct 7 terrorist attacks in Israel last year. Terrorism however never wins.
Get right w God folks . It’s not a coincidence that this has 9.7 million views recently - there is an awakening happening - if ur not awake yet and want to prove me wrong : I dare u to ask for an awakening - take the red pill - welcome to the revolution !!
Lyrics We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run Let all the dreamers Wake the nation Come, the New Jerusalem Silver cities rise The morning lights The streets that meet them And sirens call them on With a song It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters We the great and small Stand on a star And blaze a trail of desire Through the dark'ning dawn It's asking for the taking Come run with me now The sky is the color of blue You've never even seen In the eyes of your lover Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters It's asking for the taking Trembling, shaking Oh, my heart is aching We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters Let the river run (let the river run) Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers) Wake the nation (wake the nation) Come, the New Jerusalem
What a marvelous song, Carly! In these critical times It is taking on a mesmerizing pull for me. I look for "The New Jerusalem" where peace stand a chance. Thank you Carly.
Yes. I believe this song came from God and Carly was the channel through whom it came. We should all be looking for "another city" The multi -colored cube that hangs in space above the Earth called The New Jerusalem. The final city of God and home for all the Christians who truly worshipped the Lord in spirit and in truth. Anne Charette I hope to see you there. We'll all have new names and new bodies. No more crying, no more dying and no more pain. Just love, peace and joy.
Listening in 2024!!!! Who else? 🤣
Listening to this and thinking of 9/11 when the Post Office used it for a commercial after the attacks.
Carly's #1 fan checking in on MLK Jr Day 2020!

Saw the film the first time on a ferry from Liverpool to Belfast (It was a long crossing. Watched Suspect with Cher & Dennis Quaid as well). The soundtrack was the first thing that stuck out to me. That & Sigourney Weaver in *that* scene. I was only 16 at the time...
What sticks with me when you say her name is, "Jack, I forgive you. Now get on this elevator!"
This song gives hope. We need it now in these troubled times even more than ever. Miss the 80's
Carly Simon is the ultimate. I was left breathless years ago when I passed her on Central Park West. Her music is the songbook of my life. Love huh.
I LOVE CARLY SIMON!! And this is one of my favorite Carly Simon songs!! This video is totally awesome!!
You're movement has set us back 2 decades
your movement not you are movement (you're movement)
???
@@jacklyn6253 ty
Say whaasaat whose movement moron
This perfectly represents the zeitgeist of the era. It was when I was growing up. People really did move that fast back then. Mom putting on panty hose and shoulder pads while making breakfast. Dad wearing a suit and running out the door with his suitcase. People were really focused and energetic back then. Felt wholesome, capitalistic and forward thinking. Sad the kids today won’t experience that. Different times...
Let the river run
Let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem
Silver cities rise
The morning lights the streets that lead them
And sirens call them on with a song
It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the darkening dawn
It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the colour of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
Let the river run (Let the river run)
Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers)
Wake the nation (wake the nation)
Come, the New Jerusalem
Yes, my friend. We lost so much since then, good music, good art, the spirit of innovation, innocence, education, truth, real money and real investments. I am sure this list can be continued ...
It's time for a New Jerusalem. Best from Germany,
Its called work ethic , knowing ambitIon amd capitalism and achievement ARE still good things, and belief in things larger than yourself. Some of us still have it . Believe , and neuter the rest so they stop feeding the current problems lol
Love this song, it was absolutely perfect in Working Girl, both for the intro and for the ending.
Agreed. By itself, it is just good but the music is perfect for the movie. Blends well.
Carly's voice is timeless ❤
You don't even know! I saw this movie when I was a little child. This movie was The Secret of My Success to me in the 1980s. And I remember, I had a working mom growing up, and this movie is right up there with 9 to 5. God bless Melanie Griffith - she has a true heart!😅😊😮
I just lost my mom 31July2017
I have such happy memories of her associated with this song on a trip we took up to Chicago.
Miss her soooo badly.
RIP Peggy Ann Rice
1949-2017
A good song to celebrate to when this Pandemic comes to an end !!!! I hope everyone is safe and well out there !!!! God bless !!!!
Thank you! God bless you too!
@@khidaka1978 This song soo beautifully sums up what EVERY human being on the planet wants (with the obvious exception of a few short, fat, palid men, a couple with EXCRUCIATINGLY bad hair cuts... just as a small clue, the third resides in Moscow)..to be able to live a life that is your own, your own FAITH, your own WAY, with WHOMEVER you please.. it's not rocket science is it?!!! We ALL want our own JERUSALEM.. be safe, everyone.. best wishes from a London JUST coming out of lockdown ❤️🇬🇧
Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Lots of love from Vancouver, Canada !!!!
@@justinlang5481 Thank you, Justin...I adore your part of the world..I lived in Seattle for a while and visited Vancouver several times.. BEAUTIFUL city.🇨🇦🇬🇧
@@justinlang5481 Hey Justin-I live in Bellingham! Used to love going up to Vancouver. Love to you too and take care!
...she's always fabulous and this is an iconic, film anthem with the added bonus of the video framing the Twin Towers so prominently, certainly one of her very best songs...)
It's almost like the Towers were background characters themselves.
I remember being a child and listening to the music video on TV.
Loved the Movie and Loved this song even More. So happy that Carly Simon Won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for this magnificent Song.
And a Grammy! First one to win all 3 for the same song!!
Carly's music still makes people smile ...she needs to record another song for her fans asap!
Who wanna comeback to those times? 🙋🏻♂️
Academy Award Best Original Song, 1988.
Awesome song for an awesome movie! New York in the 80s = Just WOW!
I never actually knew this song was Carly Simon. So talented.
Oh my heart is aching. It's a cool song with some of the worst fashions of the 1980's :) Shoulder pads for women blown out hair and crazy exercise machines all in a 3 minute video, It's classic.
I remember watching this movie when it was released. Still beautiful now...I think it always will be. 😊😢❤
I love this song. I play it for special triumphs in my life! So strong, so uplifting!
Hi Elizabeth hope you’re okay?
Saw the film 'Working Girl' here in England in 1988. Great film. This song takes me right back to being 16.
for french people Quebec accent is kinda funny, is american accent funny to british people ?
Jay MacB I'm from Manchester in the North-West of England and agree with you regarding the range of dialects here in the UK! If I were to just walk three or four miles towards Oldham in Lancashire, even before there in Middleton, the accent is drastically different from where I am in Manchester. The UK must be unique in this sense. American accents are again, varied and many. It must be a similar feeling for an American, say from Washington State travelling to Nebraska or South Carolina - the accent, dialect and even the culture to a certain degree must seem alien. I also agree with you Jay MacB with regards to the south of England; although I don't mind the southerners, the way in which they say certain words is akin to finger nails on a blackboard, plus the fact that they genuinally not as friendly as us northerners - fact! I've visited enough to learn that this isn't a stereotype lol.
What can be said about Carly Simon? She is one of the most attractive and charismatic performers in history. She is also one of those artists that has never produced a bad record and in that sense is the gift that just keeps on giving! Talented, sexy, feminine, statuesque, highly-intelligent, personable and immensely charismatic......I could also be talking about the superb Sigourney Weaver here aswell - my favourite actress, who is 'yet' to receive an Academy Award! I find this quite stunning really. She was nominated for Gorillas In The Mist and Working Girl....but is yet to win one.
Anyway, great comment mate and you're spot on about Carly Simon's dress sense, she always appeared a classy bird......and her hair! Great, great hair!
Chris (UK).
thanks
Very good!
Takes me back to being thirty.
God i miss those days in the 80s. Everything was so exciting and had a buzz about it. It's not like that now.
Piers, I agree so much. It was a time when we could be happy and enjoy life.I was a kid in the 80s. We were so optimistic. Today everything is fear and hate.
I was 20 in 1980 so the 80's were really good to me, I was single with no responsibilities, there was always a band playing somewhere or a decent bar to go to. My kids are all 20 something's and they can't afford the sort of social life I had in the 80's. We didn't have cell phones, the internet or social media. What we had was the what's on page in the local paper, a telephone and a weekly wage so if you were broke by Thursday it didn't matter because Friday was payday.
AND THE BIG MALL HAIR!!! CARLY, U PEACH!!!
that buzz was from the high quality coke...
@@emillyyelen5169 HAHAHAHAHA, NOT THIS KID, I DONT MAKE DRUGGIES ANY RICHER THAN THEY R ALREADY. GO L V RAIDERS !!!
I'm watching this video on the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and seeing the Towers gives me sense of nostalgia and profound sadness. I worked at Ground Zero, and in many ways the attacks still seem like they were just a few months ago. I have loved this song since I first heard it at the "Working Girl" premiere in NYC in 1988, and still think it is one of the best songs to have been written for a film.
I get teary eyed every time I see the end of Working Girl and she thinks she's the secretary and then realizes she's the boss.
Jason Downs I know that feeling. God do I know. In a moment, my whole life changed. I can now help others to achieve their goals. That's my mission. That I can give to others without expecting anything in return. Except, that the recipient flows that favor to another when they are able too. Its called the Law of Giving. Every day is a blessing and a gift.
Jason Downs its such a great movie. Forever a classic and this song is just amazing.
+Jason I get teary eyed when men open their mouths.
+BLTKellys But that doesn't mean she's just like the others. She can still make the difference :)
BLTKellys Yep, an ant who's on her way to taking over Manhattan :)
I think this actually got best motion picture song that year… Great song great movie
Sure did. Oscar for Best Song
One of my favorite singers performing one of my favorite song from one of my all-time favorite movies. In case you didn't recognize him, the guy on the guitar is Harry Anderson, Judge Harry Stone from the TV series "Night Court".
Wonderful song and absolutely love the JOY on Carly Simon’s face!
So glad she won the Academy Award for this song. This "You're So Vain" lover has been a fan since the 70s.
That's exactly what I thought - the joy!
Sad that most of the joy was covered by her jinormous mouth! (Being sarcastic and stupid, not being serious)
I get it. Lol
I miss movies having signature songs so you knew which movie you were watching.
Thanks Castle Rock! I had this damn song in my head. Now when i get my meds i shall 🎶 to this over & over
I like it because it shows the Center Building.
Even when I'm working on an office job, there's music in my heart.
Listening as I am taking the ferry to the liberty statue!!! October 2023😃😃😃😃
I miss the world trade center... magnificent icon .... a powerful mark of the United States.. .will be missed.... but NEVER FORGOTTEN.
+andresa1963 They should have rebuilt them then !
Right?! Same buildings like two big middle fingers to binladen and all those other cowards... Oh well
+R369B news for you my friend.. it was an American, he did it for the insurance? do you really think it was insured just in time by coincidence?? thousands of hard-working people died so one man can get filthy richer than he already was.. i feel sorry for him when jesus comes back because people like that will never repent, and so never see the kingdom of God
+In that day the wolf and the lamb will live together;
the leopard will lie down with the baby goat.
The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion,
and a little child will lead them all.
Jesus doesn't like it when you spread unfounded rumors.
Merry Christmas. Go with God.
Get real, wake up and smell the coffee dogg. There aint no conspiracy theory on this one. You got Islamists thinking they can rule the world, and the crazy thing is, we have set up our laws that allows them to do so!
Never stop listening to this epic song
Makes me think of all the people, actually entire generations, that we have lost since the 80s.
Thanks Castle Rock, can't get this song out of my head.
Me too all day
Same! It's been there for like a week now because of that show. GAHHHHHH! :p
Ryj
its been 3 months for me now...
Same!!
After all these years, I still love this inspiring song!
Amazing song!
Love the energy of this song! Have missed listening to it!
Came to mind to listen to it again a little while ago.
Hold all calls Miss McGill?
Can I get you anything? Coffee? Tea? Me?
“I have a head for business and a bod for sin. “
Hahaha loved this

This song is an amazing motivational anthem ❤.
GIviing me chills in 2025....I love Carly SImon always.....
2025 hasn’t arrived yet😅
I miss the days without the internet and cell phones.
Don't get me wrong I use it and love many aspects of it but still, those of us who lived without it understand.
It's even better when there was land phones. People had more friends back then.
Totally agree ❤
I'm 71....and answer you: ABSOLUTELY
same feeling
@@hugowilliams1988Now, people stay in their little "circle of friends" and most of the time, all you see is the top of their heads. It sickens me to the core to live in a society like this.
Back then, society was actually a people society if you know what I mean.
One would call a friend or friends and meet up and hang out together without phone distractions. All conversations were constantly interactive. I really miss all that. Those days have been destroyed with technology.
Don't get me wrong, technology is a very useful tool and comes in handy. Google maps is a good example of this.
It's when people allow technology to take over their lives to the point to where they become very disconnected by others around them. Now, every thing is time, money, time, money, time, money, time, money............ and extremely little social time left in most people's lives. Very, very, very depressing times we are living in now........ 😔
I loved the ending when she was telling her friend guess where i am now....she had her own office with her own executive assistant...i felt she finally earn her position..
One of the BEST endings ever. Couldn't agree more!
But then the camera pulls back and as it does you see that she is just one of thousands, it was a subtle message from Mike Nichols.
One of my favorite movies
I listening all the time since 1988 when ever I get a chance
The misty and distant image of the Twin Towers, and this song distant in time creates a double sensation of melancholy
The elevators and lobby scenes were filmed in one of the towers! ❤
Ohhh...The 80's Melanie Griffith...
This movie and Cherry 2000...
Whatta hottie 🍒!
Carly's on my island too!
This song's been my morning alarm for God knows how long. Probably since 2020. I personally hope that when the forthcoming Working Girl musical coming to Broadway, this song is included. I could definitely see it as an opening and possibly closing number.
Great lyrics, brings a tear to my eye the lyric, "The New Jerusalem" with the Twin Towers in the background. Also, dam, Carly is hot in this video. 😍😍😍
Such a feel good song !
I remember sitting on the shores in downtown Jersey City NJ across from the World Trade Center and listening to this song. I would later be a first responder on that fateful day as a JCPD Officer with my badge number being 911. GOD damn those responsible to hell or what they did. And may GOD forgive me for feeling that way.
I live in Sweden and I was 19 years old when 9/11 happened. I remember hearing about it in the news and how it made me feel. I felt the exact same way hearing about the Oct 7 terrorist attacks in Israel last year.
Terrorism however never wins.
It's okay to be hurt. That was a terrible event. Lots and lots of us were so hurt too.
There's something magic in her face and smile that I can't explain. I love her songs and I find she has a beautiful and pure soul.
She looks like Julianne Phillips,Frankie from old tv show Sisters 🤔
Agree. Something alluring.
@@ackbar1138 forever hot.
It’s confidence in what she’s saying
This song is about the return of the King
Sirens greet them w song
Get right w God folks . It’s not a coincidence that this has 9.7 million views recently - there is an awakening happening - if ur not awake yet and want to prove me wrong : I dare u to ask for an awakening - take the red pill - welcome to the revolution !!
Awesome memories and great movie 🎥
There's something about this song that captures the 80s for me. A decade of hope and progress, but then maybe everyone feels like that as a teenager
Just having that conversation as I was reading the comments. It is hard to believe where we are now versus where we thought we’d be now. 😢
I wish we could still have that feeling nowadays
@@ambervictoria11 The internet has made that impossible now.
Lyrics
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem
Silver cities rise
The morning lights
The streets that meet them
And sirens call them on
With a song
It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn
It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue
You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters
Let the river run (let the river run)
Let all the dreamers (let all the dreamers)
Wake the nation (wake the nation)
Come, the New Jerusalem
Thank you 💜
Thank you. Now I know what lyrics I'm crying to!
Thanks to you my neighbors are hating me but I don’t care!!!
@@thequietknitter9107 Same with me😥😭😭😭😭
"Darkling Dawn"
What a marvelous song, Carly! In these critical times It is taking on a mesmerizing pull for me. I look for "The New Jerusalem" where peace stand a chance. Thank you Carly.
Yes. I believe this song came from God and Carly was the channel through whom it came. We should all be looking for "another city" The multi -colored cube that hangs in space above the Earth called The New Jerusalem. The final city of God and home for all the Christians who truly worshipped the Lord in spirit and in truth. Anne Charette I hope to see you there. We'll all have new names and new bodies. No more crying, no more dying and no more pain. Just love, peace and joy.
Hi Anne hope you’re okay?
Carly Simon, true talent ! Able to sell records without selling her body and soul ♥️🙂
thank you castle rock!
Annie Wilkes feel good car music.
Yup
dude ur gonna blow her cover....it’s Ingalls
*ingalls. We don’t want any cockadoodie officers looking around here
