"Final" Lyrics (between me and Katie and a 100 or so listens of two different YouTube's)
Friday afternoon in Boston town and
Still know my way around and
Trying to find a rehearsal spot for
the reunion of New Kids on the Block

Gonna rip it like we used to do
Good to be back too with the crew
Don't know how it's gonna be but
Last time we made history so

Tell your momma and your sister too the
New Kids are comin back for you
In my mind I knew you'd never forget but
To see you again like this makes me feel
like I'll never be alone

Chorus
Where ever it is I'm going to
Whatever I am is because of you
and I thank you, and I thank you
Five brothers and a million sistas
Didn't know how much I missed ya
Thank you and I thank you

On my way back and on to rehearse
Call it What You Want but I call it love <---hehe, clever
Some people said we couldn't do it again but
the New Kids had the last word in the end

See what happens when you follow your dreams and
See what happens when you just believe, yeah
The whole world opens up her arms
Everything is easy that used to be hard

Tell your momma that I love her too but
Don't you know we did it all for you, cuz
In my heart I knew you'd never forget but
To see you again like this makes me feel
like I'll never be alone

Chorus
Where ever it is I'm going to
Whatever I am is because of you
and I thank you, and I thank you
Five brothers and a million sistas
Didn't know how much I missed you
Thank you and I thank you

You build me up, you make me high
When I feel your love I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna fly
(piano)
And I thank you, and I thank you
Wherever it is
Whatever I am
And it's all, it's all because of you

Five brothers and a million sistas
Didn't know how much I missed you
I didn't know it, didn't know it, I didn't know

You pick me, you make me high
When I feel your love I wanna fly
No matter what I'm goin through, Oh!

You pick me up, you make me high
When I feel your love I wanna fly
No matter what we're goin through
There ain't nothin we can't do

(piano)
And I thank you, and I thank you
And I thank you, and I thank you

People often roll their eyes, make jokes, and laugh at us New Kids fans. They say they "don't get it", "the music sucks", "don't sing very well". I can't 100% disagree with any of those statements and neither can the "Kids" themselves. Nobody has ever claimed they had the greatest music or were the greatest singers. Does that mean they don't have a place? Does that mean they deserve the ridicule? The answer is no. This original song (no title as of yet), written by member (and my fave) Joey McIntyre, is the perfect example as to why we love them. It's because they TRULY love and appreciate their fans.

I did go to the Fresno show last week and it was a blast. My mom loved it. And you know what? Despite 2-3 of them being sick (Jon especially looked like he was going to pass out for most of the concert) they sang live and had the crowd up on its feet the entire show. (Unlike some super pop stars who get their music played all over the radio, tons of media attention, and then rip off their fans by lip syncing and barely even engaging the audience.) Sorry, rant over.

Thanks Joey. See you in West Palm Beach.
