"In the City" offers a unique collaboration between two world-renowned voices, complemented by a delicate cinematic journey through the bustling streets of Buenos Aires and New York that complements the nocturnal atmosphere of the song.
From a sense of anonymity, the artists tour and admire both cities aboard a vintage taxi. The audiovisual piece conveys the energy of large, eclectic cities like Buenos Aires and New York, where one is constantly surrounded by people and simultaneously feels alone.
"In the City" by Charly García and Sting.
"In the City" reflects the authentic complicity of two friends who traverse a series of nocturnal postcards, each moving in their own world, in their own city waiting to be explored together, but from a distance.
Two musical geniuses who formed a deep bond come together to present a unique, nostalgic piece filled with urban touches, including Luna Park, Radio City Music Hall, Corrientes Avenue, and the Big Apple skyline. A harmonious visual narrative, and a musical piece that seems made for the two of them.

Lyrics.-
In the city that never sleep, I sleep alone
In the city that never sleep, I found my home
Never worry for the things I have to say
Never worry for the things, I'm doing it my way
In another part of the world, I can't be free
In another part of the world, I can't believe
Never worry for the things I have to say
Never worry for the things, I'm doing it my way
Why do you think I'm crazy (why, why, why?)
When I can give you the morning Sun?
Why do you think I'm lazy (why, why, why?)
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?
In the city that never sleep, I sleep alone
In another part of the world, I found my home
Never worry for the things I have to say
Never worry for the things, I'm doing it my way
Why do you think I'm crazy (why, why, why?)
When I can give you the morning Sun?
Why do you think I'm lazy (why, why, why?)
When seeing you only breaks my heart again?
In the city that never sleep, I sleep alone (why, why, why?)
In another part of the world, I found my home (why, why, why?)
Never worry for the things I have to say
Never worry for the things, I'm doing it my way
(In the city that never sleep)
(City that never sleep)
(City that never sleep)
I sleep alone
