[SmokingNtheGraveyard]

[tismewoodly1]

gucci mane

[solorash]

to all the @elementalds >haters he got 23 thumb ups atm and im sure even Billy Joel would appreciate what wiz did to his song. so stfu if you dont have anything better to say you look like idiots!

[marvesmarves]

Wilson disliked it 8X

[bello1989]

House & Wilson...XD XD

[biddyjawn753]

this song makes me wanna smoke weed

[dieselheart001]

This song is a wonderful ongoing series of contradictions, with one inevitably happy outcome that just so perfectly escapes any definitions...

[servant808]

"UNDENIABLY REAL"

[giedosst]

I hate it when my momnet gets tender! Ouch!

[giedosst]

His music...

[giedosst]

You know I find Billy Joel to be repugnant in almost every sense of the word, yet he's such a part of my childhood and I can't stop listening to him...damn it!

[Tolstoy111]

@giedosst What are you talking about? He seems like a nice enough guy.

[MrKevanoreilly]

I like to listen to this song whilst I am beasting

[TheDomisaurusRex]

I love Billy Joel so you can imagine my excitement when I heard this song on House... xD

[11213michael]

@TheDomisaurusRex when did it appear in House?

[TheDomisaurusRex]

@11213michael A season 5 episode, I think... Wilson smashes the juke box because this guy keeps replaying it...

[jill9700]

I "discovered" this song in Market Basket.

[GermaniaPruisen]

@jill9700 :O I grew up listening to these songs so Lol

[jill9700]

@GermaniaPruisen

I was kidding... These people on here crack me up..

[uneedtherapy42]

don''t be a cynic... it's too easy to be that these days... this tune is pure magic

[dmures]

I just discovered this song via Wiz Khalifa "Keep the Conversation" hahahahaaaa

[Superbook4Eva]

This hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart but stalled at #29 on the Hot 100. Have always thought this song should have done better chart-wise. "An Innocent Man" is Billy's best album IMHO.

[CitySkin09]

Oh Lysandra, if you're reading this...just know that I love you to death!

[kingterr0r1]

Love this song

[rgaleny]

This is a radio friendly LOVE song. Everybody knows this awkward feeling.

[jimmydee4life]

the harmonica playing here by Thielmans is magical!!

[terrypos]

Ronald Reagan, a hopeless romantic for his Nancy, once said this was his favorite modern day love song. Ditto to that.

[Stoner075]

@terrypos Gotta be one of the very few things I probably agree with Mr. Reagan ...along with "tear down this wall". ( :

[Tolstoy111]

@terrypos Where did you hear that?

[terrypos]

@Tolstoy111 Reagan made the comments at his Republican National Convention farewell address in 1988.

[COLINME7]

Great song from a good chill-out album. Someone to see live methinks !

[Igenerally]

How many great songs does this guy have made

[elderlyjr]

Billy Joel is the MAN!

[Retire42]

Butta!

[ladyclyro11]

had forgotten all about this great song

[majhiggins]

Elton John and Paul McCartney each wrote about 1000 songs and came out with about 80 memorable ones. Billy Joel wrote about 100 songs and got 80 memorable ones.Low output volume and just wonderful quality.

[marlex1979]

i remeber listening to this song when i was 6 while going on a camping trip with my parents

[elementalds]

Wiz Khalifa.

[bobshenix]

@elementalds

Get outta here with that fake ass ghetto shit... not even in billy's league cmon now

[rj689]

@elementalds what do wiz khalifa have to do with this did he sample this or somthing?

[solorash]

@rj689 yeah its called "keep the conversation" its actually really good i m o.

[craigmusic1707]

Thank God for the time machine that is Youtube.

[craigmusic1707]

Billy. Joel. Greatness.

Nuff said.

[katsumithebest]

good old days

[trezlorenz]

This guy is so talented!

[andy42x]

But it's not only me, Breaking down when the tension gets high

Just when I'm in a serious mood, She is suddenly quiet and shy.

AINT THAT THE TRUTH!

[jesus2010YM]

Ｇｏｏｄ ｓｏｎｇ！！(*^_^*)

[cinebeatl]

My fave song on An Innocent Man!

[RhymeSchemeMusic]

Taylor Gang or be one of House's patients.

[Huntito]

@RhymeSchemeMusic Keep the Conversation ftw!

[harbir19]

House made this song popular again.

[metalshadowmario4]

@harbir19 How ?

[metalshadowmario4]

Why the hell is everyone talking about House ?

[noeagomez]

@metalshadowmario4 Season 5 Chapter "Birthmarks"

[ciccacarmen1]

L'amore ha una logica che la mente spesso non può capire....ciao!.

[lestrange5]

I'd much like to thank the show House for introducing me to such an amazing song. :D

[nigwig69]

wiz khalifa nigggazz

[m1ke816]

@nigwig69 hahahaha my nigga

[LoveJesusNotReligion]

Forgot about this song.... thanks for posting it... was one of his best! imo

[nmonowbnrtnhortnhojn]

HOUSE

[Colonel30]

There are lots of artists where you can name 5, 10, or maybe even 15 truly great songs, but in the case of Billy Joel its more like 25 or 30 absolute gems, and this is right up there as one of the best. I know he's had a hugely successful career in the States, but here in the UK he's never got the full credit his masterful work deserves/ - Criminal really!!!

[mattdaddyful]

@Colonel30 Is he POPULAR there???What about MOTOWN???Barry Manilow,Neil Diamond,Barbara Streisand...And lastly JAZZ...Smooth JAZZ...Thanks alot if you can get back to me on this..

[hoogoosethemoose]

Yep, Wilson and House are arrested and here I am to hear this song.

[ChrisArtForSale]

I've gotta say that Billy Joel's recordings feature some incredible vocal performances, but I think that the expert falsetto improvistations he uses throughout make this one of his very best.

That's why I'm here.

[mattdaddyful]

@ChrisArtForSale GREAT COMMENT

[AlmarWinfield]

here because of house!

[Mumsieish]

I am here just because it's fab!

[stv91199]

great song .great artist

[kobdog360]

like this if your here for wiz khalifa's Keep The Conversation

[dragoneyesp3]

me too ..here because of wilson and house lol =)

[kja427]

Where's the official video for this song,Billy? Kind of stupid don't you think? Moreover, kind of stupid to let Christie Brinkley go,wasn"t it, Billy? Fair questions all!

[theoOodeadlyoOome]

just watched because of house and wilson's arrest... XD

[MrJosealfredo69]

C10WOODY es cierto no esta considerada como grandes hits

[C10WOODY]

amazing true lyrics, I have every BJ song and I am amazed this one is not on greatest hits collections

[denisbuh]

wiz khalifa's sample is of the hook!

[GLEACH0001]

Even though Paul McCartney came before him, Billy Joel can really give him a run for his money for creating instantly classic melodies.

[EasyAce]

No questions asked---it's his best love song. It isn't even close.

[Doogle927]

so special Toots......

[007stonecircle]

a special song...beautiful vocal

[Rafaframa]

me 2 kkas911 lol - 5th season right

[Effedup]

You know, if I heard this song over and over, I'd probably throw something at an antique mirror and get arrested, too. :)

[LavenderLiar]

If the Hilson fanbase had a theme song, this would be it. :D

[trezlorenz]

Such a beautiful song that sounds as fresh today as it did nearly thirty years ago! One of my all-time favorites!

[KingpinMusic510]

Wiz Khalifa "keep the conversation" sample..dope

[juicysteak]

Great song from a great songwriter. Ah, Billy Joel, why didn't you take your own advice?

[snowmanwilly]

I'm here because of the TV show "House"

[rockengellygirl]

@snowmanwilly Me too!

Thank you Greg House.

[YankeePat94]

This is a cool song and pics are beautiful. Too bad this song never topped the charts.

[grungeman92]

Wilson the destructor.

[gootenslog]

"Its undeniably real, leave a tender moment alone" - Besides being a great lyric, its also fantastic advice. God this song brings back memories....sigh.

[Getrealpeeps]

BEAUTIFUL song & VIDEO!!

[Getrealpeeps]

GREAT SONG!!!

[fuzzystar3]

LMAO at all the Hilson's here. xDDDD This is totally their song. W00T DORIS EGAN.

[baozytools]

here cause of house =D

[ClassicTVMan81]

When released as a single in July 1984, Billy Joel dedicated this song to Marvin Gaye, who died that April 1 when he was shot dead by his own father. That aside, it didn't do well on the charts as there was no music video.

[MrJackhawkins]

heard this sample on a wiz khalifa song and had to hear the original...i must say its not bad at all, very catchy

[AZinTheSky7]

ohhh que temon me encantaa a mi me gusta ajajaa a mii ajaja

[brassyful]

simply lovely

[toshibow1984]

beautiful song ! beautiful photos!

[BigWasteOfTime]

Love the typo at the very opening! ;-)

[Tallguyalec]

House and Wilson are the best! :)

[76Surprise]

@Tallguyalec I'm watching that episode right now!!!

[OutsideABox]

I understand. I know what it feels like. Keep it together for me ok? This song is premonitory. He always knew me. Everything he wrote and sang is me. He is my other soulmate.

[goldenboi24k]

I just discovered this song via House season 5 lol

[qsewad10]

@goldenboi24k indeed, season 5 episode 4, at police station :D)

[bornwisedistruction]

@goldenboi24k I discovered this wonderful song at age 5 and i still love it thx to my Dad!

[HPAndHG4ever]

lol I'm here because of that House episode too!

[stargatefansg1]

Good song but listening to it 100 times in one sitting would make you throw a bottle in a fancy antique mirror too XD

[lunita901210]

AmoOoO eStA  CaNcIoN....

[Dazlee0010]

Great billy joel song.

[Freiheitimmer92]

E' così bella <3

[PoxyBear]

One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. Mr Jean "Toots" Thielemans on harmonica ladies & gentlemen.

[kronos256]

Now I understand why Wilson got that nuts. It's a beautiful song but if you repeat it a lot of times, well, could be annoying

[Agice1992]

Wow this would get annoying after a while

[eskamokiller]

house lol

[trumpet1ksax]

wiz khalifa - keep the conversation

[poetuvdapeople]

beautiful ballad....

[shamanofsexy90]

so am i house and wilson hahahaha

[shamanofsexy90]

hahaha same here wilson and house directed me here

[LeathanL]

Love this song. Anyone else think it bears at least a passing resemblance to the style of Gilbert O' Sullivan (alone again natureally, oh clair, etc)?

[gootenslog]

@LeathanL

I agree....and its a good comparison as well. Anything that Joel wrote that is comparabel to O'Sullivan is great.

[michelescoones]

sadly the moment never seems to be right for him!

[carloelia1]

incredible voice...unforgetable song...my best years..

[b52fun]

tx to House MD. :D

[CORATZAGIO]

Sarà l'armonica, sarà la voce di Billy, fatto è che mi sto sdilinquendo....

[DickenDork]

Does anyone notice that at the begining of this video, one of the words for this song title is mixed up?

"leave a tender momNEt alone"

[breacat]

Just about every song I love has a harmonica in it. Strange that such a little instrument can make a big difference.

[DianeMaria100]

@breacat It's the harmonica of Toots Thielemans, fellow-Belgian and probably the best harmonica player in the world

[wendus93]

I've discovered some great music thx to HOUSE MD...

[XMLarry]

Or as my pet would say "Leave My Tender Vittles Alone" :)

[PigeonPieProductions]

...

*smashes antique mirror*

[garnergens]

Love this song, so much.

[snootzie78]

Silly question--who's playing harmonica on this song? Is it Billy himself? It sounds like Stevie Wonder, but I could be wrong. Great song!

[lutinbarjot]

That's Toot Thielemans, from Belgium, check it out at Wiki !

[maruthization]

simply awesome:)

[Diti8448]

house md :)

[djlew2]

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. It reminds me of myself.

[1greatdude]

I hope his daughter with brinkley, Alexa, is recovering well from 'accidental over medication(?)'. This is one couple, well, this WAS one couple which always saddened me. As a bystander I still feel the pain for Billy. Still don't understand why Christie left him, someone who loved(s) her so deeply. But, whatever. Whatever.

[nathaly415]

Hey every body, i fell in love with this song ,becuse they use to play it at work all the time,...i love it blly loveyaaaaaa cooll song....

[rredhawk]

I've still got the 45 of this somewhere. Bought it back in 1984 or so, but misplaced it. Thank God for YouTube!

[jrewing73]

I've always liked this song. Thanks for posting and nice images to go along with it.

[GreeboSanders]

It is a good song.

Wilson is so cute.

[jefftherev]

Brings back memories! I fell in love in college over this song in 1985 and still married to the same wonderful woman after 20 years! Thanks Billy for GREAT music!

[telekid75]

reminds me when i was 15.. back in the 90's i copied this album and i loved this song.. i was in love with a beautiful girl and played this song again again and again... SEE ALSO : SHOULD I BE LONELY - hans vermeulen GREAT SONG

[1greatdude]

and I was 25 back in the 80s I had secretly felt in love with my best friend Julie, and I still love her to this day in my space and time and will be so 'til the day I expire.

[din0cha]

@1greatdude

so lovley

[MasterDusk]

Rememberin' this song is a tender moment indeed.

[armbaryourass]

ya, i could see how being forced to listen to this repeatedly would make someone want to break a 10 foot antique mirror

[rbmcgov]

wiz khalifa- keep the conversation.... listen to the strong sample used

[Annamandabella]

No one digs this song more than I do! Born in 78" earliest memory favorite song ever. So similar to the "Sesame" theme! Thanks "TOOTS" also see.......Pressure. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO PACE YOURSELF. OMG "We Didn't Start The Fire" is 20 years past. WE SHOULD START THE FIRE AGAIN?

[fwneilly]

It is a great song ~ House and Wilson again lol

[thebrew07]

Yep. Me too. Had to hear it.

[SSATCHAN1122]

SO GOOD

[jevonk]

I was 7 years old and in dancing school They made me dance to this song with another boy named Glen for our recital. I hated it but it was a sweet dance where we had to hold each other and rock side to side. I just heard this song today and memories came flashing back. It was really a tender moment, :-)
