I used to listen to this song to ease me when my dreadful nightmares got back, haunting my night as a the flight of a bat.....I did have the fealing of a little death falling asleep..
This was the song that won me over to Billy Joel. At the time I was a strong Journey/Foreigner/Survivor fan so the "Uptown girl, tell her about it, still rock and roll to me" sound just didn't cut it as rock songs. Then I heard this......
gaitkeeper...I also felt that this video was a contiunuation of You're Only Human. This is the kid was Billy talked out of killing himself and his girlfriend, now all grown up. (But no Mythbusters Adam in this one!)
What a song. I'm not old enough to empathize with it, but it's such an amazing glimpse into the mind of a 35-year-old. He sits on the border between age and youth, wanting one last night of being a "passionate boy" before settling into his middle-aged life on the other side... Truly moving.
Billy Joel was my first influence in adult rock music when I was only 9, I have all his albums :) He and Bob Dylan are my all-time favourite singer/songwriters :)
Billy hit #34 in Billboard, 11-2-85 He sang both octaves, due to his smoker's voice. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend. Shalom, Billy!
Billy Joel has such a good sound, just the combination of the instruments he uses and his voice, it all just blends so well together. Very impressive!

When I first saw this video in High School, I was wondering why I never heard the song before, because I've been listening to him since I was 14. Later I found out it was on his Greatest Hits Volume I & II album, and I didn't have it at that time, so that's why I never heard it before.
Dear Vevo, Let me start by sayin get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we like in our vldeos.

@princeofChulavista They AREHN'T your videos. How hard is that to understnad? Youy have NO talent. Nor did you buy the rights to post Billy Joel videos.
One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. I love how the "oohhhs" just build up to the chorus and I also love that big crescendo in the middle of the song.
