I think best song on the album. I'm not saying it for just saying i'm not setimental person but this song bring me a tears. Peace of art. You feel all the emotion with exeptional way. MK is in another level, higher being. I can't wait to receive the album physically. My car system waiting for it.

I have the highest expections for Kingdom of gold. The snippet is so promising.
For the opposite reason (if you hear the snippets, you run away), I'm curious to hear in full Miss you blues, Radio city serenade and indeed most of the album that doesn't look so rocking. ;)

From the snippets, Radio City Serenade has been one of my favourites, so I can't wait to hear the complete version when my copy arrives on Monday - not before!   ;)

Yeah, I think it seems more logical to hear great piano solo instead, since it opens the song anyway. Or maybe strings "solo".

Typical MK mixture: The Irish soul of the Irish cop is illustrated by this me thinks.

I think the song is a bit more personal to MK since NY is is old hometown.

In my opinion it's MK singing the love song to a town he still loves. Wheter it is in the form of an Irish policeman or not...

The fact is that I read something that has nothing to do with the irish policeman... I cant remember what and where, but it was another character, not a policeman...

Damm memory!

edit: I found it, it was an interpretation, not any demonstrated fact, I read it here:

First what I think after all of this is that it could be it's about a Irish taxi driver in NY?
But I can't put the soldier story in it...

...After I have visited Radio City on its wiki adress the new ideas have been starting to appear... Even one that is about the guard that had worked there for a ling time and now went back home (Ireland)... But anyway, the key is laying under the soldier storry I guess... ???
