This song really meant alot to me when I was in the Marines for over 15 years.. everytime time i whent home it was almost like this. Great song but even better memories.

[collinschwartzesq]

Ah, the dread of going home to the suburbs after living in the big city. Brilliant.

[candelise]

Very Jackson Browne in his phrasing, eh?

[delly659]

@candelise love billy and jackson both awesome my favorite your very right, no two joel albums are alike this one kinda had that jackson browne esk sound

[Rowdyrecords55]

@candelise Yeah he does! Billy has the ability to really throw his voice around to make himself sound like other famous singers...

[candelise]

@Rowdyrecords55 True! In song, you can almost list them! I recall an interview he did in England when the journalist noted that you don't hang around Billy too long without hearing what a great mimic he is.

[JLorz84]

@candelise yes, and even in this "country" vocal register...

[xterra43]

Another great song on this underrated album... You can see that he is honing his craft as he progresses toward "The Stranger".

[Noeladishi]

So laid back and chilled out, love it

[yodhe]

the song of my life

[doorango95]

This is THE song of my childhood.

[ph4nt0mf1ng3rs]

thanx Joel, I felt the same way too when I went to visit my old hometown in Union City cause it hasn't change since my family was livin' there in the 90s.

[nychro7]

Billy just NAILS IT with the message "You can't go home anymore." I also remember feeling the same way once I left home and started traveling. I love this song and album.

thanks for sharing ....Master Billy Joel !!!!

[balletguy]

have not listned to this in years but its funny.....as a middle aged guy this song is great, as a younger guy i never really cared for this but now, hits a little close to home

[FlatIronProject]

Thank you so much for making these playlists. it's awesome!!!

[Powermaddd]

Ditto. This song makes me think of those times I occasionally visited "home" during my college years. It felt less like home every time, and it was always better to be "gone with the wind", like Billy says.

[Hellsbells1993]

Thank you for posting this fantastic song.

[jack5505]
