my dad was a yellow cabbie in the late 70s and 80s. I feel connected to him when I hear this

@@user-uh5im5vd9o Being a taxi driver is a very rare position and only held by the upper 0.00000000000001% of the population. I agree, no way his father could have possibly been a cab driver.
He must be 100
@@StryderFi I’ll entertain this since I’m a little bored at work. Even if I may be typing to a chat bot but whatever.
In NYC anyone can be a cabbie. You do need a livery license to operate a yellow cab. Medallions on the other hand are limited. The city issues a certain number of medallions to particular vehicles. Before Uber and Lyft medallions cost went up to almost $1 mil, now you can get them for a little over $100k. The livery driver rents the cab form the medallion owner.
"babe stop, youre not a 70s film noir detective, stop speaking in metaphors and see a therapist!"
"I stared back at her with a gaze as cold as the night outside, clawing at the heat from our apartment like a greedy rat, living from day to day"
"what the fuck are you talking about?!"
Man I wish I was a 70 noir detective discovering a huge conspiracy by the local town government.
"I had felt as though I am a prime example of the cassandra complex. Really makes ya think, about the pain of knowing, the pain of dealing with ignorance. It gave me purpose, a sense of self-inflected responsibility"
"you forgot to take your pills babe"
Brilliant 😁
Real
It needs more energy and more power!
Like throw a goddamm bowl of half-eaten cereal at the wall for punctuation.😂
I drove a cab in the 80s to put myself through college. Out for 12-26 hours. Insane the things I saw. Changed me. Made me quit drinking, become a writer.
As an Uber driver6 years, I can relate 🙏🏽
did you ever kill a man
Likewise, early 80s in KCMO and was just thinking about all the crazy things that happened. So many stories that most would not believe
@@chriss314 did you ever do a hit and run
So you were driving around for 26 hours while drunk? The 80s was wild man 😂

Travis Bickle in 2023: "You know, it's somethin' else, lookin' out at this city now. Back in the day, in the gritty streets of the '70s, this place had a pulse, a rhythm. You could feel the tension in the air, like a coiled spring just waitin' to snap.
I used to cruise these same streets, my taxi's wheels rollin' over the asphalt, takin' me to places where the neon lights flickered like promises. People, they had this edge to 'em, a rawness that told you they were fightin' to survive. It was a city of contradictions, beauty and decay intertwined in a dance that played out every night.
Now, though, it's like a different world. The pulse, it's faded. The neon's still there, but it ain't got that same fire. Everyone's starin' at screens, lost in their own little digital worlds. The streets are cleaner, but they've lost their soul. People don't talk no more, they just text and swipe, too afraid to look each other in the eye.
The city's lost its character, its authenticity. It's become sanitized, homogenized. The filth and the grime, it's been replaced by sterile buildings and gentrified neighborhoods. It's like they've taken a scrub brush to the soul of this place, tryin' to polish it up, make it presentable for the suits and the tourists.
But you know, deep down, I can't help but think maybe I'm just seein' it through my own messed-up lens. Maybe the city's always been changin', evolvin'. Maybe this is just the way of things. Hell, maybe I'm the one who's stuck in the past, clingin' to a version of reality that was never gonna last.
But one thing's for sure, in this sea of change, one thing remains the same - the loneliness. That ain't never gonna change. No matter how many fancy gadgets they come up with, no matter how many shiny buildings they erect, people are still gonna be searchin' for a connection, for somethin' real.
As for me, I'll keep drivin' these streets, watchin' as the world keeps spinnin' and changin'. Maybe one day, I'll find my own place in this new reality, a way to connect, to make some sense of it all. Until then, I'll just keep rollin', a lone sentinel in the night, tryin' to find my own path in this ever-shifting landscape.
The grunge is still there. It's just been run outdoors to sleep now. Drove through NYC a few years back. In an old fullsize Mercury, navigating with a paper map. Chinatown, Manhattan, Queens... I've never seen anything like that city. You wonder how the hell people can live there but at the same time it feels kind of like you kind of want to stay and see what happens.

@@GrandMerc89 NYC has this unmistakable feeling about it for those who have been there and seen it. Not just the tourist areas, but the areas beyond those. Its still the same dirty, tense and soulful city it was, just gotta know where to look. Same with any major city in the US anymore. The more things change, the more they stay the same and all that.
@@Stargazzer811 For sure. My paper map led me through it well, got to see a great mix of everything walking and driving. Was limited to a few hours in one day but I probably could have driven another day just looking at stuff. I like older industrial areas of cities and railroad infrastructure. Long Island RR was like a trip back in time.
Wasn't interested in jazz at all when I was young, now I can't get enough of it
The peace and the nostalgia that brings this music is inexplicably beautiful.
i think you mean "that this music brings"
@@coccaa No, the nostalgia brings the music, that's what he wrote, that's what he meant

Reminds me of my childhood as I fell asleep in the backseat while my father drove us home from my uncle’s house late at night after a long day of playing with my cousins.

Yes, deliciously distinguished indeed. Gentle upon the ears like a swirling fall of orange custard. Delightful.
@@YungSmackAddict so you can become a kind by literally uploading some music to UA-cam?
@@SanjanaRanasingha I guess so 🤷♂️
As a kid that grew up in Manhattan in the 70's/80's, it's just as trashy, grimy and disgusting as I remember! NYC has come a long way.
I've played LA Noir previously and watched this movie in my late teens. This is the playlist I've been looking for a long time. Obviously, hit right in the feels. Takes me back to when times we're a lot simpler. To all the doomers out there, no matter how permanent your " doom " is, may you get out of your rut and live life again . Cheers!!.
Same there👍
How can you say times were simpler when taxi driver showed that times werent simpler
The sound when you sit, the raw smell of leather sit and tobbaco all round, the red light of the clock, that mood have no price..
Yeah it does, 4.98 a mile.......
Insomnia hitting me hard lately can’t sleep this sooths my soul and mind
When are you going to start your own Fightclub ?
Bro we gotta be on some kinda same level. I’d run thru pretty much every song on this playlist on my Spotify. This is smackin’ rn.
Oh yeah most of em are my top songs too!
It’s not often that we actually get to live the life that we want right now, and that’s alright. I want everybody reading this to know y’all will achieve your highest of dreams.
Don’t forget that it’s normal to escape. I reward myself by listening to this without any distractions whatsoever. It takes me back to a time when the world was perfect. A time when the skies were actually blue, the grass was green, and the people around your were an absolute blast and joy to be around. A time where we didn’t want to be separated from our friends. A time where there are no ill-intentions from those around you. We misjudge how blessed we were as kids. Thank you for this wonderful playlist.
I appreciate what you said, it means a lot to me I just want it to help anyone in any way 🙏
this meant a lot you sound like a wise man
❤❤❤❤
@@TORQ-1much love my brotha. Keep putting your hard work out there.
@@lextremist8315I’m not any special. We all experience life at different paces. Those who rushed through it will always urge those to just stay put for a second and just take a moment in the present. Life makes us all wise, some of us lose it. Much love, have a blessed year❤.
Love the vibes in here, the city shots from the movie are perfect. And excellent trumpet tracks, just pure old school jazz for a late night in the city
What the name of the movie
@@hkaishonI think it‘s taxi driver
listen to this while programming is a real pleasure
The winds from the Hudson blew like smoke through my apartment window as I thought about a night sky dark and ominous. There was a fever in the night so hot it hurt my eyelashes or maybe it was the heat of the camel tip hanging from my lip. I took another drag and tossed it into the flooded ashtray that told the tale of hours just watching and waiting for a knock on the door. The double bourbon made it easier to wait, but the wanting never ceased the hunger for action. The door clicked and my eyes flicked up. She swung the door open and all I could see were legs that stretched from here to Long Island. Her red lips parted slightly, but she didn't say a word just stood there in the hot silence. The action was in her eyes and the fever was in my blood. The winds blew again and the street sounds broke the silence. That's when I saw the gun in her hand...
exactly!
You must be a writer, or you missed your calling. I usually skip paragraphs but that was the best to represent 2024.
Thank you
I'm at the 23:00 minute mark reading this and it just fits so perfectly, the imagery is intense! Cheers pal!
love it !
I'm God's lonely man
so what is it Bickle? Do you need an extra job? Are you moonlighting??
There's no escape
Real
god bless you brother
Real
road to the west is such a vibe
just saw this comment right after i heard that track, and its def the best song
Not a single cell phone, no gps or computers and we were doing juuuuust fine. Like this fine mood-making midnight Jazz allows our imaginations to be truly free and all without 0’s and 1”s.
We need this today.
Yep, but them rich folks sat phones (early 80s) would bleed thru our radios. Mostly guys saying "I'll be home in 20 mins". Used to think 'what a dork' but now that is EVERYONE... lmao
Had a boombox in the cab.
When I made my green light record (36 greens in row -Westport to Downtown Hyatt)
Floyd was playing and on my 1st red "Welcome to the Machine" started. it was magical..
Loneliness has followed me everywhere... (Travis sometime during the movie)
its a long hustle but it keeps me busy
Even reading the script and quotes are enough to make you realize how brilliant Taxi Driver is. And when you add the actors themselves, De Niro, Foster, Shepherd... Everything that could be said about it has been said and yet there's more, the more different people watch it. Everyone has something to add, to comment.
Please more of that man. That’s just awesome as background in the office 😎
its been a while since i took some time off. i dont even remember when was the last time i laid my head down on a soft pillow. my bed has become my friend i never get to see. this rainy and cold weather withers away my skin cells depleting me of every moment of every second. Each breath is as lucky as the last. i guess i could have another beer. its too much, its as if im holding two boulders over my shoulder. to be thinking about this again....come on.....you know things dont change. people dont change. as i take another sip of my ice cold beverage, i cant seem to stop staring out into the abyss. all i see is my reflection
Beautiful.
I'm a cabbie. ❤. Yes, it sometimes gets like this. Lol. I play Blade Runner Blues when it gets like this.
This is a good jam. The video is cool too. Every once in a while, I look up from my work and catch myself watching it intensely. Thanks for sharing.
Love it 💯❤️ glad to see you gave credit to all the artists involved in this masterpiece of a selection 🙏
I love this, THANK YOU !!!
This is just fantastic. Thank you for making this. And posting it.
This should be nominated for some type of award.
I avoid playlists like the plague but this guy has got it going on. Funny looking fella though.
Very Nice, i might just have to watch this when I get home. It's been a while. Classic
These "cool" jazz mixes you're creating are absolutely perfect. This one and the Chet Baker mix are particularly awesome, I think Chet Baker would absolutely love this if he was still around. Thanks so much!
Dammm this is gold brother 👍
The looped video of late nite old NYC cityscape during the summer,whilst having this ominous jazz soundtrack playing is mesmerizing. Brings back memories of childhood in the early 80s., which apparently the 2 decades have frozen in time and look exactly alike.
Fantastic video!
Fantastic music selection
Fantastic edit
Thanks man, I’ll come back to this one
You did a great job putting this collection together, I hope there will be a followup video with more of the same.
I lovvveee this ❤ thank you so much for sharing! I needed this.
The jazz, the feeling, the nostalgia, the good relaxing and tranquil vibes, the scenes from Taxi Driver, THE AMAZING TRACKING WORK!
Very well done. Sensuous music...and 1976...my favorite year!
Hell of a song selection, well done!
Thank you for this vid I just sat down and started to draw for the whole video. Was cathartic.
Hands down the absolute best background video to go with the music. No one has done it better.
I love this vibe❤
This is PERFECT!
This animation is gold
Best compilation I’ve heard yet
A beautiful atmosphere. I hear this while coding in my computer. The songs help me to focus so much!
This is a masterpiece
People's passions are coming out in these type of videos and i freaking love it
You can feel it that it comes from the heart and soul
As a born and raised on the Upper West Side Manhattanite,I can say this just hits my soul so much...and I drove a cab up in the Bronx for a few years too.
Todo en esta playlist es un deleite exquisito para mis oídos. Orgasmo auditivo. Muchas gracias infinitas. 🙏🏻
I'd love it more if it were just the POV shots without the cartoon head.
But this is still such a great concept that I'm glad randomly popped up in my feed.
legitimately made studying so much easier, God bless you mate.
you talkin to me?
Yes
Yet they all voted for Biden…….
This is so depressingly pleasing
REAL
LOVE the brief images from the movie... thank you !!! "They... cannot... touch... her..."
You make me realize how Road to the West fit perfectly with the doomer jazz atmoshere, thanks !
This and a cigar watching the sunset is an absolutely incredible feeling
This collection is so alluring, sad and just plain gorgeous. I love this so much...
Yes but I would chose Sade everytime ❤
It makes me sentimental immediately.
You got perfect mood.
I wrote half a chapter thanks to this playlist! Also congrats for the editing, you chose scenes that blend well with each other and the repetition isn't obvious! Also the doomer Travis brings in mind the glorious days of UA-cam Poop fan videos!!
this was amazing.
Love the background you added really adds more immersion rather than a random picture
crazy how there's always outcast men driving cars in movies that speaks to the disenfranchised young men in my generation *cough* Drive and Taxi Driver *cough*
How's the cough, all sorted now ?
cough baby driver cough
That's the music to focus on my work. Best wishes to all of you
This masterpiece speaks to me. Thank you to the uploader!.
I am happy you enjoyed it!
@@TORQ-1 I thoroughly enjoy it over and over

Are you serious bro? The movie is retarded... like De Niro's acting.
hello, I know this is pretty out of left field, but there was a somewhat similar movie, but it revolved around the life of an ambulance driver. Anyone happen to know the name of the movie? It must be an older one, but probs newer than taxi driver. Thanks, massive thanks, in advance!
Bringing Out the Dead, another Scorsese film starring Nic Cage. Highly underrated.@@thepsychobilly88
Incredibly, I felt relaxed and like all my problems washed away. Wow.
I love the atmosphere of Taxi Driver when he's driving around at night. Such a good movie
great list !! thanks
Awright ! That was satisfying. Nothing beats a Checker.
Loving this ❤!!!!
Such good for sitting in my car and chilling...
Ah, so many people yet so little friends. It hurts painfully doesn’t it? Like a never ending abyss that sucks you down the drain as you grasp on to the water that goes through your fingers. The water being your happiness and the abyss being life’s big smack in the face. I know that feeling more than anyone else sadly. It never leaves
damn

I don’t think you guys understand the way I’m obsessed with this playlist
Yes. Goddammit, yes! Just what I needed.
Back when I was driving for Yellow Cab in the 90s. Rough gig, but had some good times.
so good selection mate!
really like these images, and the music
A dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets.
Saw Prowler from Bohren & der Club of Gore, knew instantly it would be a quality playlist!
I gotta tell ya, it was perfect.
Nice and smooth back road driving
muito bom!
uma música melhor do que a outra.
Those Trumpets pieces are the best🔥🎺
jazz is a man's expression of emotion
This is relaxing while I am working the nightshift⌚
Dear T O R Q, what you have created in this playlist is art, it is beautiful. 🚬
Thank you good sir, I am pleased you enjoyed the video
Denver was my home when I drove for Yellow Cab and Metro Taxi sporadically during the 80s and 90s. So many stories, so much life, at times raw, other times, grace-filled. Though I preferred the late nights and early mornings, the heartbeat of the city never stopped. For me, as a single man, it was a decent living. The long hours could easily be broken by as much freedom as I required to live my life on purpose.
Cold rainy night , drunk af , got this playing while i sit and contemplate life , perfect.
As a late night taxi driver, i approve of this playlist.
