“‘Cause never before... was my heart as sore
as it was when I was leaving New York”
“Leaving New York”
“I remember writing that song in
two parts,” he recalled. “I wrote
the chorus when we were driving
through the night from Boston to
Asbury Park. It was one of those
times I knew I wasn’t going to see
her and I knew I wasn’t going to
be able to swing back through
the city. We have to drive through
the night because the traffic is so
terrible for a bus and a trailer. As
soon as you drive through the day
you never know what catastrophe
might happen.
“The other part was when we
were touring out west and we
were in Portland. We played the
Crystal Ballroom and I just remember it being rainy and shitty.”
Scott recalls an interview recently
in which he was questioned about
why a band from the mid-west
would have lyrics like “tired of
hearing about New York and L.A.”
and then put out a song called
“Leaving New York.”
“New York isn’t just a place... for
me, it’s also a person” he said.
