Hey Ray. Pull up a chair, the city is humming in the background. 🚕🗽 An album like this feels less like a collection of songs and more like a passport stamped by bodegas, bedrooms, bars, and late trains. Since it’s NYC-born and NYC-written, the title should sound like a street name you remember but can’t quite place.
Here are some directions, grouped by vibe. See which sidewalk you want to walk down.
Intimate, personal, lived-in
These feel like diaries with coffee rings on the pages. Written on New York City I Learned From Borrowed Nights, New York People I Met Between Trains Rooms I Was Someone Else In Love Letters to a Loud City
Romantic, bruised, and human
Women, longing, mistakes, heat in summer.
Women I Loved Under Neon
Kisses on Borrowed Time
Her Name Was the City
All My Exes Live on Side Streets
The Women New York Gave Me
Very NYC, very specific
These sound like they could only exist there.
Songs Written Between Boroughs
Midnight on the Local Train
Five Borough Heartbreak
Lower East Side Confessions
Rent Was Due, Love Was Late
Slightly mythic, classic album energy
The kind of title that looks right on vinyl.
New York, In the First Person
This City Knew My Name
The Years I Spent Becoming Me
A Map of Who I Was
The City That Raised My Songs
If you want something quietly devastating
Everything Happened Here
I Was Younger in New York
These Songs Only Work at Night
Nothing Lasts Longer Than a Memory
If you want, tell me:
acoustic or electric?
reflective or defiant?
late-night or morning-after?
I’ll tune the title like a guitar string until it rings just right. 🎸✨

Got it. That helps a lot. Let’s clear the fog.
Those albums you named are not poetic fog banks. They are plainspoken postcards with a passport stamp. Observational. Grounded. Almost journalistic. The titles don’t wink, they state.
So we go simpler. Declarative. Geographic. Human.
Here are options that live in that Lennon / Sting lane.
Direct, observational, documentary
No romance coating, no clever tricks.
Stories from New York City
True Songs from New York
New York: These Are Mine
Songs I Wrote in New York
Notes from New York City
New York City, As I Found It
In the spirit of Sometime in New York City
That slightly awkward honesty Lennon loved.
Somewhere in New York City
Once in New York City
Time Spent in New York City
When I Was in New York City
Living in New York City
In the spirit of An Englishman in New York
Identity plus place, no metaphor.
A Man in New York City
An American in New York City
A Stranger in New York City
A Musician in New York City
Someone in New York City
Bare, almost anti-title
These feel like liner notes.
New York City Songs
Recorded in New York City
Written in New York City
From New York City
New York City, 19__–19__ (years matter here if they do)
The one I keep circling for you
If I had to put money on one that fits your brief:
Written in New York City
It says everything and nothing extra. No nostalgia. No romance. Just fact.
