"I Try" is a single by Macy Gray released in 1999. It was Macy Gray's biggest hit to date. It made it to #7 in the UK, #5 in the US and #1 in Australia and New Zealand. On the 2000 Grammy Awards won the "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance" for this single.
[edit] Video
The video for the song, directed by Mark Romanek, depicts Gray waking up, buying flowers, and traveling through New York City to meet a man in a park. At one point she is seen entering a Lexington Avenue subway entrance, which at the time served the 6, E and F lines. The platform which her train arrives on, however, is the 63rd Street Connector which would indeed become the Lexington Avenue F line stop one year later.
On the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated on the "Best Female Video" and "Best Art Direction" fields.
