You Belong To The City by Glenn Frey. A great song written for Miami Vice- this song is the 80's. I mean, really. And I love the Miami Vice footage too, especially with Don Johnson all in white with the loafers. Good times. I like the story the video tells too. Sooo 80's!
The sun goes down the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You're out of your room and down on the street
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat
The traffic roars the sirens scream
Look at the faces it's just like a dream
Nobody knows where you're going
Nobody knows where you've been
Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Trying to get away from the things you'd done
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed
Still don't know where you're going
You're still just a face in the crowd
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
For a man of the streets
You can feel it
You can taste it
You can see it
You can face it
You can hear it
You're getting near it
You wanna make it
Cause you can take it
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're getting tired of staring at the same four walls
You're out of your room and down on the street
You can feel the crowds in the midnight heat
The traffic roars the sirens scream
Look at the faces it's just like a dream
Nobody knows where you're going
Nobody knows where you've been
Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street
When you said goodbye you were on the run
Trying to get away from the things you'd done
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed
Still don't know where you're going
You're still just a face in the crowd
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Living in a river of darkness beneath the neon light
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your blood, it's in your moves
For a man of the streets
You can feel it
You can taste it
You can see it
You can face it
You can hear it
You're getting near it
You wanna make it
Cause you can take it
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong to the city
You belong to the night
You belong
You belong 
You Belong To The City is such a great song. I haven't listened to it recently, so thanks for the reminder! :-)

Another great flashback! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, this one is such a product of the 80's. And I remember it being used in Miami Vice. Pastel t-shirts and blazers for the win. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is a great song :D
ReplyDeleteMiami Vice was such an institution. This song captured its essence so well.
ReplyDeleteA good one!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and thanks for the song/flashback :)
ReplyDeleteI have that song on a compilation, and I was a teen in the '80s, but I don't remember ever seeing the video! Ha, Don Johnson was so iconic (I DO remember the show). Also, Glenn Frey is from Eagles, which is as country as I get with my musical tastes.
ReplyDeleteI do like it :=)
ReplyDeleteThis song will always make me think of Miami Vice. That show spawned such good music back then.
