I'm sorry I missed the performance; it's one of my favorite PS tunes and that's saying a lot. He has many that really get to me.

My thought about its relevance is that it is a song about a common man facing -without romanticizing - the slings and arrows of life in NYC. What makes this song particularly appropriate, in my opinion, is what is implied in the last verse: To be wounded by the city is not uncommon; as always, some may choose to leave, while others will fight on. It does not provide the comfort that "Bridge" might have as much as it does a challenge. A cool and interesting stance to choose, IMO.
