[picurieddu]

I love Billy Joel's songs.. Why didn't I was born before, WHY?????

I would be liked to see him in concert when he was young.. :-(

Thank you Billy for poetry you have gift.. ^_^

[rgaleny]

Often, artist are not the best judges of their contributions

[KrfNYC2]

Nice.

[LadyMarble1]

This tour was my very first concert I ever went to, it was in chicago on halloween, extremely awesome as I think of it to this day!!!!!

[jpzollar]

"I never claimed to be a hero and I never said I was a saint"--kills me every time!

[peterguit]

I always feel better after hearing one of Billy's songs.

[missinformation916]

He wrote this song for his daughter...makes me cry every time I hear it...so beautiful

[dmitriyhiller]

Simply a beautiful song....maybe even that is an understatement!! sax solo blows me away!!

[jennygreatbrit]

kyokoushio It absolutely was your duty, well done :o) x

[gyptolo]

Georgia on my mind

[SaturnTrack]

I don't agree with Billy when he said that The Bridge is not a good album. I think it's quite posibly one of his best, just listen to this.

[xterra43]

Billy has said that he doesn't like "The Bridge". But with songs like this I don't know how he can say it.

[kyokoushio]

@xterra43 I do think that his earlier albums were stronger than his later ones but still I agree with you totally. This song is stunning, it gives me goosebumps just listening to it ^^ This and Code of Silence ALONE could make any album brilliant but with the other tracks there too... :) Beautiful

[TheMoergi]

@xterra43 Perhapes there are too many bad memories on the album. He hates Jsut the way you are too because it's about his ex-wife.

[SaturnTrack]

@TheMoergi I understand what you mean. That's probably why he doesn't care much for "Modern Woman" either. They probably remind him too much of his past marriges.

[bigspud73]

thankyou so much for uploading this! just an amazing song

[kyokoushio]

@bigspud73 You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it too ^^

[asqedcv]

Una pasada !

[nychro7]

OUTSTANDING SONG!! I agree with Powermaddd, MrChristopha, and Kyokoushio..... this is a great song from an underrated album. Heavy piano and drum beats combine with excellent production and lyrics to make "The Bridge" Billy Joel's best album since 52nd Street - I think. Hard to believe how BJ could make such great music during his drug problems. Thanks for posting!!

[MrChristopha]

Great song. One of my fave from Billy Joel - and thats saying a lot! Thanks for the upload.

[kyokoushio]

You're very welcome :)

[njstock]

this song isnt even on itunes uk wtf!!!!

[Powermaddd]

Nice one! . I love it when Billy has Liberty adding heavy drum beats to such emotional songs. I think this one would fit well on "Storm Front". Thanks for posting.

[kyokoushio]

You're most welcome ^^

Despite it being a relatively unsuccessful album (relative to some of his others!) I really liked Storm Front. I agree though, this does have a kind of Storm Front-y-esque feel to it :D (yes, front-y-esque is now a word...)

[mdsurpal1]

Missing SGF

[jilley76]

Ahhh...know the feeling well..........

[MariaMorphineXx]

I have been looking for this song for twenty years

[19WANKER67]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this one!!! Must have been years since I last heard this song. And I still love it!!

Thank you again, god bless!

[kyokoushio]

You're really very welcome - I'm glad others are pleased with the music I post :)

[uzialinder]

Great song, thanks! I did look it up on youtube a while ago. Glad it`s here at last. A well desereved one and surely an underrated song.

Brings me back to my younger and wilder days..

[kyokoushio]

Certainly a most underrated song - you're very welcome, I'm always pleased when I end up posting things other people were looking for ^^

[ronmadrigal]

I have been a fan of Billy Joel since I heard My Life. I have most of his albums from Cold Spring Harbor, The Stranger, The Nylon Curtain... and many more and I really like this song. Thank you!

[kyokoushio]

For me, it was The River of Dreams that introduced me to Mr Joel's work. I only need three more of his albums to have all of the studio albums - I'm jealous :D I want the Nylon Curtain! (but I'm skint at the moment...^^;)

You're most welcome

Billy can use the saxophone well. The sax melody of this tune doesn't simply have uselessness.

When I listen to his tune, I seem to dive in the sea, and to be looking at on.

[kyokoushio]

I didn't know he could play saxophone - I'm a saxophonist myself (and a struggling pianist...)

I adore the saxophone part in this :)

[amazed66]

I think the previous poster meant he can use the sax well in his arrangements but he doesn't actually play it himself, nor does he play the trumpet despite the front cover of 52nd street. :)

Mark Rivera plays sax on this track I'd imagine, as he is the sax player in Billy's band now and would have been in '86 too.

[kyokoushio]

Ah fair enough. Just got a little confused... ^^'

Yeah, it's Rivera on this album and every one from 'An Innocent Man' onwards.

I did wonder about the '52nd Street' cover art, whether he did actually play trumpet or not. Regardless, the songs are amazing and I love the cover art, especially 'The Stranger' and '52nd Street'

[annihilus2]

Wow, you stud, I been looking for this song on Youtube for a long time. My favorite song of his that are in the bin of Joel songs that no one ever hears.

[kyokoushio]

You're very welcome ^^ Glad I could help :D

My favourite tracks on his albums are always the obscure ones too - 'Sleeping With the Television On' on 'Glass Houses' is one of my favourites, but unfortunately it's not well known by anyone other than his fans. Shame really, the obscure ones are often the best.

[TackyTakazawa]

This is expressive power of BiIly Joel.

[kyokoushio]

I know - some of his songs are just so powerful. An amazing artist (one day I WILL be able to play his songs on piano :D)

[amazed66]

Such an underrated song and one that deserves to be heard by more.

I especially like that part at about 2:54 that goes:

And I lose my composure/I could use some restraint/I never claimed to be a hero/And I never said I was a Saint.

Was nice to hear again and thanks for uploading. :)

[kyokoushio]

I totally agree :D

That's my favourite part too!
