New York I’m Coming to You – Jeff Vidov’s Return to Big Dreams

Jeff Vidov New York I’m Coming to You – A Song That Walks Straight Into Its Own Story

Chasing the City That Never Waits

Some songs carry luggage. This one grabs the damn passport and boards the plane. Jeff Vidov‘s New York I’m Coming to You hits the ground already in motion. And it’s not about chasing fame or some diluted memory. It’s about facing the version of yourself you left behind in a city that runs faster than most people think. And Jeff Vidov runs right back into it – head on, keys blazing.

In this one, you can hear the sweat. The kind of song that comes after twenty years of wondering, what if I’d stayed? And instead of whining about it, Jeff built the track like a cathedral. With strings, drums, and a voice that howls through the skyline. It’s one of those moments when a composer with a doctorate’s worth of discipline says: screw it, I’ve got a story to tell – and this is how I tell it.

Years of Silence, One Loud Song

Jeff Vidov knows his way around a studio. He built his own. The man stacked his resume with Sony Studios, film scores, concertos, and a piano collection that probably weighs more than a tour bus. He studied under Pulitzer winners, played alongside gospel choirs, and taught choirs how to roar like Broadway. That’s not ego, that’s foundation.

And then comes this song. He brings in Argentinian drummer Lucas Seoane, bassist Antonio Druetta, and Jon – an unmistakable voice from the UK. Vidov arranges, plays, produces, conducts. And the thing moves like a train on fire. You can feel the rush in your ribs. Every note tells you: I was there, and I’m coming back. This is a call forward.

Lyrics with a Pulse and a Promise

“New York, I’m coming to you.” It says exactly what it needs to. No cryptic metaphors, or some lyrical origami. Clarity, heart, and that burning edge of unfinished business.

There’s one moment in the track where the orchestra swells and Jon’s voice lifts the line like it’s trying to get picked up by the wind. That’s the part that hit me hardest. It’s not just about New York – it’s about anywhere you promised yourself you’d return to, even if it takes decades.

We don’t always get second chances. But sometimes we write them ourselves. This song does that, with no fake nostalgia. No tortured longing, just motion, grit, and determination.

The Work Behind the Sound

Before he started layering orchestras on pop anthems, Jeff Vidov was behind the board at Sony Studios in New York – home turf for MTV Unplugged and A&E’s Live by Request. He assisted on sessions that ran from sweeping film scores to the powerhouse voices of Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Harry Connick Jr., and The Cure. It was that immersion in the kind of sound that stays in your blood.

Back in Canada, he gradually became a go-to session musician, consistently sharing stages with everyone from tribute acts to legends like Bobby Curtola and Colm Wilkinson. Along the way, he sang background harmonies, played lead lines, and kept the wheels turning in studios and theatres alike. In addition to performing, Jeff steadily built a composer’s catalogue that now includes 13 full film scores, two TV shows, two theatre productions, and enough classical pieces to make conservatories jealous.

His 4CD box set holds solo performances of Bach, Haydn, Chopin, and Brahms – and when the world went into lockdown, Jeff sat down with Rachmaninov’s 2nd and 3rd piano concerti and played until the silence cracked.
