"The Hudson" lyrics
"The Hudson"
I seen this guy on a Saturday night
You're looking good yeah you're shining bright
I seen the girls in their high heeled shoes
Looking for love they've got nothing to lose
What happened through these years
All I feel is fear and doubt
What happened to the confidence
I'm older now
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we fall apart
Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen
Looking back on where we are
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we drift away
Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song
Never let it fade away
Seen your smile from across that room
All the girls here they're looking at you
Seen your face under disco lights
The room is spinning but I feel all right
What happened to the girl I was
I stopped believing in it all
I never realized that life
Would take my all
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we fall apart
Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen
Looking back on where we are
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we drift away
Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song
Never let it fade away
Running down where they twinkle on Broadway
Young and naïve and we were so damn reckless
Looking through the lovers and you don't know who you are
Now I know that there's nothing I'd change
We were running riot we were playing the game
True love is only something you hear in the songs
It doesn't really last that long
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we fall apart
Summer in the 70s, living like a king and queen
Looking back on where we are
Where did it all go wrong, my love, where did we drift away
Walking along the Hudson, singing you my love song
Never let it fade away

"The Hudson" is the first track released from Amy Macdonald's fifth studio album, "The Human Demands" (2020). This is her first release under a new deal with Infectious / BMG label.
This song was inspired by the stories of Amy Macdonald's father about going to New York with her mother in the seventies. Amy explained, "New York was dangerous back then, definitely not a tourist spot, which made me think about their relationship. Growing up, Mum and Dad were at each other's throats, but then so were the parents of everyone I knew. You go through your life with someone you shout and swear at the whole time, but if you ever parted you'd reminisce about them constantly."
Speaking with WonderlandMagazine.com in August of 2020, Amy Macdonald shared about "The Hudson",
"Listening to it now it feels like part 2 of my early single 'Mr Rock n Roll'. It explores all the same themes of life and wondering if you've made the right decisions and taken the right path but it feels like it means so much more to me because of everything that has happened through these years."

Come make a river through my hair
Come down and drown me

But it's feelings
That put you there...
