Sometimes, you just need a little bit of Backstreet Boys in your life.
This was the case in a New York train, when a man came on blasting Backstreet Boys on a speaker.
Civil rights attorney Joel Wertheimer was exhausted after a “tough week” and just wanted a quiet, calm journey home.
Instead, he was charmed into singing I Want It That Way by the Backstreet boys.
The entire train joined in.
He posted a video on Twitter with the following caption: “Had a really tough week and tonight I was the subway and some guy walks between train cars, shirtless, bumping a speaker.”
I wasn't in the mood for Showtime particularly. But sometimes people and life surprise you and a little magic happens.

Others wondered why Wertheimer cut the recording short, and his answer was too pure: "To enjoy the moment"
New Yorkers were proud of their subway
