My five year daughter drew a picture called "This is night in Brooklyn". The next day I showed it to the brilliant cartoonist Lynda Barry and she told me to write a song inspired by the drawing. I went home and wrote this immediately.

lyrics

This is night in Brooklyn
Go on take a look in
Set your sights on Brooklyn
on Brooklyn
on Brooklyn

Take a bite in Brooklyn
you and I are cookin’
And feeling so good lookin’
In Brooklyn
In Brooklyn

And the stars are shining bright and brilliantly for you and me
and the moon is hanging high for everyone to see

Windows light up Brooklyn
in the quiet of Brooklyn
all is right in Brooklyn
in Brooklyn
in Brooklyn

And the stars are shining bright and brilliantly for you and me
and the moon is hanging high for everyone to see

Planes fly high in Brooklyn
touch the sky in Brooklyn
This is night in Brooklyn
in Brooklyn
in Brooklyn

about

Leo Sidran Brooklyn, New York

“Vocally he suggests an amalgam of his father Ben with a hint of Donald Fagen. His fluid laidback style is reminiscent of Bob Dorough. Musically and lyrically his compositions are smart, sharp, and sparklingly original.”
— Jazz Times

I'm a multi instrumentalist musician, producer, arranger, composer, recording artist, and podcast host based in Brooklyn.
