Nolita, sometimes written as NoLIta, and deriving from "NOrth of Little ITAly" is a neighborhood in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Nolita is bounded on the north by Houston Street, on the east by the Bowery, on the south roughly by Broome Street, and on the west by Lafayette Street. It lies east of SoHo, south of NoHo, west of the Lower East Side, and north of Little Italy and Chinatown.
The neighborhood was long regarded as part of Little Italy, but has lost much of its recognizable Italian character in recent decades because of the migration of Italian-Americans out of Manhattan. Many elderly descendants of Italian immigrants continue to live in the neighborhood. Moreover, the Feast of San Gennaro, dedicated to Saint Januarius ("pope of Naples"), is held in the neighborhood every year following Labor Day, on Mulberry Street between Houston and Grand Streets. The feast, as recreated on Elizabeth Street between Prince and Houston, was featured in the film The Godfather Part III.
Nolita is Keren Ann's fourth album. It is also her second English album. Nolita has tracks both in English and in French.
In a positive review, Allmusic's Thom Jurek said that both the lyrics and instrumentation have substance and called Nolita "utterly beguiling ... assured, statuesque, and fully realized." In a negative review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau panned Ann for celebrating melancholy and for lacking rhythm: "[T]he languor she encourages in her quiet cult is the kind of privilege that feels like an accomplishment to Nick Drake and Sylvia Plath fans."
It's late
I think I'm gonna stay
I think I'm gonna bury you
I think I'm gonna bury you or myself
It's late
I think it's gonna rain
I think I'm gonna bury you
I think I'm gonna bury you or myself
Somewhere I'd like to be cold and safe
If you're here to cry over someone else
Through the upper tide
I would be insane but myself
It's late
I think it's gonna rain
I think I'm gonna bury you
I think I'm gonna bury you or myself
Somewhere I'd like to be cold and safe
If you're here to cry over someone else
Through the upper tide
I would be insane, to be cold and safe
If you're here to cry over someone else
Through the upper tide
I would be insane
If you're here to cry over someone else
I would be insane but myself
It's late
I think I'm gonna stay
I think I'm gonna bury you
I think I'm gonna bury you or myself
