angel of harlem is about billie holliday, not a city. and if you want to be technical, harlem isn't actually a city... it's a section of manhattan.

Pero said:I hate that US cities got most of the songs for them, like u2 wants to kiss thier asses:
Miami, New York, Cit of Blinding Lights, Angel of Harlem.
And when it comes to European cities, then the thema of the song is about drugs(of course with exceptions)

Youre assuming COBL is about New York?
MsMofoGone said:
I agree.... COBL is about New York.
The line..... "I've seen you in the clothes you made"comes from the fashion line EDUN and we all know that was first promoted in New York ( Saks 5th Avenue. )
Also the line "They're advertising in the skies"...
refers to Times Square. ( which is also New York )

Ever been to Picadilly circus in London?
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest 'New York" is about Chicago.

That's true !!! "City Of Blinding Lights" was out before the Edun fashion line started.....
But the concept of Edun's clothes and "fair trade" issues were
"in-the-making " years before "City Of Blinding Lights" was even written.. or heard of.. as a song.......
The song was released... before the clothing line was......
that's what it "boils down" to....
