about

Inspired by the raw honesty and intimacy of the 1960's folk scene, Whitney travels with you in her bold new song, Lexington to the most crucial turning point of her life, dissolving a shiny New York career in architecture to pursue her love of writing music. It meant leaving the empire she had built behind in the ash. But what she didn't know was that if she hadn't spent those tireless days carrying those cumbersome paper models and blueprints up and down Lexington Avenue, everything would be different. Those street corners and rooftop classes led her to sacred places, reuniting her to a calling that panged louder than the traffic of 5th Avenue. Tai digs down deep to write a tender pop song that would represent everyone's personal Lexington.

lyrics

She don’t wanna go downtown
She’s got a date at the Cooper Hewitt
The worker bees cruise 5th
to the front steps of the MET while her blues sail down

to Lexington

High times at school,
Learnin about 12th century structures
Gothic film slides roll
Rush to a class on the rooftop drawing chic, sustainable homes

on Lexington

Thought she had it all on the edge of 70th and Lex
All prim and proper, young, unabashedly dressed
Strange little tangents take a crack at her skull
So she left high tea to go downtown with them Essex street folk

She took a 6 line down
Pretends she’s dueling reflections of train cars
A strangers face lights up, they got soft eyes with a bit of pride
but it lifts her out

of Lexington

It lifts her out
Far out, of Lexington

She’s a downtown girl now
She’s a downtown girl now
and there’s just no turning back
