I was there...Someday

This morning while eating my cereal, I heard a song on the radio. It was a tune which sounded familiar, but I just knew there was something special about it.

I thought to myself and wondered...

I wondered whether it was the song for the video clip that I saw being filmed in New York City back in September (3 months ago).

It was another day of sightseeing and roaming the streets of NYC. I had just finished my tour of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where I was privileged to see millions of dollars worth of gold bars stored in an extremely secure Vault. I felt like exploring the neighbouring streets of New York's financial district. I grabbed an iced coffee and a bagel from a dodgy food cart (as New Yorkers do! it is dirt cheap too!) and came across a film set on a random street in the financial district. They were filming a video clip for a song but I had no idea who it was. They seemed to spend ages filming this one scene. It was the part (of the film clip) where the main dude gets out of the yellow cab and walks down a traffic jammed street singing. They did several takes. I just stood on the side line and watched things in action.

I wondered to myself...I wonder if this is someone famous? I wonder if I will ever see the video clip on TV!

Sure enough, after some reliable research on youtube and wikipedia, I was able to confirm that the video clip I saw being filmed was 'Someday' by Rob Thomas. It made my day, that I was there - on the set of the video clip for Someday!
