about

Completely different from their usual style; Manhattan (Elissa's Song) is the result of the 2020 lockdown, developed into a meaningful jazzy track that shows the best of Armstrong's musical talent.

“There is no non-soppy or wet way of saying this. Manhattan (Elissa’s Song) is about being in the perfect place with the perfect person. You’re all theirs and they’re all yours. For me this was being with my girlfriend in New York." - Tom

lyrics

Manhattan lights up in the night
Worth every second on that flight
Oh I, can see it in your eyes

Pushing off the old concrete
The sky matches my blue hoodie
That hangs against your thighs

Can we stay one more night
I’ve finally found what’s right
Let’s not leave and change all our flights
Cause in New York State you’re mine

Walking past the Empire State
The way the sunlight hits your face so fine
You’re so beautiful in this light

Wandering down the subway lines
When your lips touch mine on 59th
And I wanna feel this way all the time

Can we stay one more night
I’ve finally found what’s right
Let’s not leave and change all our flights
Cause in New York State you’re mine

Can we stay one more night
I’ve finally found what’s right
Let’s not leave and change all our flights
Cause in New York State you’re mine
Cause in New York State you’re mine
Cause in New York State you’re mine
