The song describes an overview of a park during the winter and the line “the bells of New York City tell me not to go” is repeated. “Bells of New York City” is a song dedicated to one of Groban’s favorite places. The prelude leads into a song that locals can appreciate. Groban’s personal touch can be seen from the start of the album, which begins with a prelude called “The Wandering Kind.” The all-instrumental tune has a mix of Irish, Italian, and French sounds and it is based on a melody that Groban created when he was 12 years old. This album is also more personal and displays Groban’s emotions, as he co-wrote most of the tracks. The instrumentals of this album seem to be more toned down than in previous albums, so Groban’s voice can truly be appreciated. Nothing can change the beautiful baritone of Groban’s voice, which truly illuminates his music.
