@LarryTheTubaBoy A Canadian band who does an acapella cover of this song sometimes. Here's (in my opinion) their best performance of it: /watch?v=4v7cH9PudVY
My dad, not knowing this song, would always say "And so it goes". I always took it as a "this too shall pass" sort of saying. I never knew this Billy Joel song. I just You Tubed "So it Goes" and hit this song. My dad has left this earth, just a few days ago, in a better place. I find comfort with this song, and am glad to have discovered it. I find it a bit sad, yet comforting in a very odd sense......so it goes. So it goes.
@perss2000 I get the feeling your father is trying to show you he is ok...I really do..especially 2 days after his passing....you might find comfort in a book called "Heaven is For Real." I hope you are doing alright.
@perss2000 Funny that you should use the phrase "so it goes" in reference to death. In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, that phrase is inseparably connected with mortality. That's not what Billy Joel was talking about, but nonetheless you should read the book and see what I'm talking about. It's one of the most highly rated classics.
The first time I heard this song was not from Billy. It was from a barbershop quartet who were known as Underage (now known as LoveNotes) at the Women's Barbershop International Competition in Detroit 2005.
My wife and I were in tears and had to hold each other afterwards.
This makes me think of my boyfriend, who is currently serving a church mission. This just echoes how he felt about leaving me, I think (and he sang several Billy Joel songs to me before he left). alsdjfoasdjfadsof ;___; All my creys.
Admittedly, I downloaded the Marianas Trench cover of this song first, BUT Billy is one of the best at what he does. Gah I love his music.
The TEARS...The TEARS....they pool in my eyes, run down my cheeks, into my mouth, onto my tounge...salty, sad tears. This song is always sooooo beautiful, its pangs the heart!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL LOVE IT
Watching this video and then seeing an advertisement for Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe", really makes me depressed about the direction music has taken over the past decade.
22 years ago, when my late husband and I were first together, sitting in the bar of our favorite Chinese restaurant (no bottles of red or white there) this was the song we played on the jukebox--played and played and played until other patrons complained.
I chose to be with him, he chose to break my heart by leaving me, momentarily, in death.
And so it goes, as Vonnegut, and later, Joel, tells us.
This song may have a nice poem or a touchy story, but what Im searching for is good melody, and this one doesn't got one. I'm not criticizing this either
I'm really questioning my mode of perception right now... I read that Billy Joel said he associates his slower songs like this in light shades of green and blue. When to me this song is obviously tinged light yellow, orange and brown... Would love to hear other opinions on the subject!
Hi everybody, could you check out my cover of this? I really would like some feedback on it. Thank you, and thank you Billy Joel for this AMAZING song.
@MsCreepyChan So strange, I read your comment yesterday, and in the evening, after i went to a christmas party, i put on the television at half past 2 in the night, and I see Boston Legal, and it is the exact part with this song! I felt really happy!
Billy Joel's music played a hugh role in my younger years that matured into womanhood. I passionately lived my life then, as I do now. He was a prolific artist and entertainer. An icon in his glory. Thank you Mr. Joel .
marianas version is cold, all-polish....totally loses the beautiful quiet melancholic quality of this song...for me Kings Singers & Billy Joel's versions are best...contented wd it.
Billy was hopeful in the phrasing of this most underrated ballad, yet bitter in its execution. That bitter hope -- contained here in his voice -- is not unlike the hope one might have about anything else.
this song has soul. that is what modern pop songs are missing in this era of music that promotes violence and addiction. billy, we need to have more artist like you become great again in the eyes of everyone. you are one of my heros mr. joel. my hat is off to you. good job.
hi my name is amy bruce i am 7 years old and i have servere lung cancer . i also have a large tumor in my brain from repeated beatings , doctors say i will die soon if this is'nt fixed and my family can't pay the bills. the make a wish foundation has agreed to donate 7 cents for everytime this message is sent on . for those of you who send this on , i thank you so much , but for those of you who dont send it what goes around comes around . have a heart re-post this..
This ballad has such a timeless quality and sounds like an Irish standard. Odd to think he wrote this after his breakup with Elle McPherson, but it wasn't released until six years later when he was engaged to Christie Brinkley (for whom he wrote Uptown Girl). I would say Elle had a better artistic impact on Joel, but he was married to Christie for nine years and produced a stunning daughter, Alexa.
But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows.
I just love Billy Joel, and it makes me so sad that many people my age are unaware of his talent. We're singing a beautiful version of this in choir, and I just love how pretty it sounds. Billy's lyrics are just perfect!
My school Chamber Choir sang a SATB arrangement of this, a capella. It was so beautiful, had many people in tears or on the verge of tears. Mr Joel is such a talented musician, and this song is one of his most beautiful creations. Always has me nearly in tears listening to him singing it- so much emotion.
This is one of my show choir songs this year and @ the concert it was deticated to one of our teahers whos husband had just died of lung cancer. It was the sweetest thing and the perfect song slow song. Everybody was crying and hugging my teacher.
I just anyone who reads this(im thinking few people will)that Billy Joel does more than sing. He inspires and strenghtens our hearts through music.
if you like Billy Joel, then you should check out my page. I write songs on the piano and guitar and put a lot of hard work into it. Please check it out. watch?v=tsfqTskJosc
@serinbo yes i agree totally with you..this song , leningrad,saigon and piano man are among the best songs ever, the lyrics and tunes are so emotive and powerful they kind of draw you in..pure magic...
@59jimmyb i know right! i got my brother who had never even heard of Billy Joel to start listening. and of course he got it. i can never explain what some of those songs mean or how they can make one feel it is as you said 'pure magic'
why only 1.5 million views? so sad how many people have no form of any music education at all and think its just fine when their 15 year old slut daughters listen to kesha.
beautiful song.....too bad he lifted the melody almost note for note directly from the classic English patriotic hymn "Jerusalem".....the version that starts "And did those feet in ancient times walk upon....etc. etc."
I'm pretty sure every choral nerd (said in the most approving way ever) has visited this site after singing some rendition of this song at some point in time. =]
My girlfriend just broke up with me, and I've been listening to this song nonstop for the past hour. "But you can make decisions too, and you can have this heart to break." She did have this heart to break.
@chanchalarescue- I feel as it's from a live tour, perhaps the Storm Front tour in 1990? Didn't he have a few performances in Yankee Stadium that year too?
This song moves me everytime I listen to it, and the intensity of feelings received has never shnged since the first time. "And So It Goes" is simply 'sublime' in every aspect. One that is able to maintain its emotional charge; one that strikes us not because of beauty but wonder and awe. This song, which title was taken from another genius (Kurt Vonnegut) is great Art, and Billy, great Artist.
How i wish my parents or some figure in my life introduced these songs to me, when i was younger. Yes, I still enjoy and prefer songs from nowadays, but I love these as well. It's just hard and troublesome to look for songs like these nowadays
@StrawhatxLuffy I am one of the lucky ones, i grew up listening to Mr. Joel, and i'm really upset you didn't. His voice s comfort to me, it's the voice of my father, the voice of reason, the voice who reminds me who i am. I am 18 now, getting ready for life to really begin. And this music reminds me of substance, of purity, that is lost amongst people of my age. It brings me home.
@atnasomfg haha i know, but with the teenage peer pressure from some people my age to like the same music, fashion and so on, Billy joel reminds me that i have substance, and as i said, reminds me of who i am and where i come from.
@kombucha123 i was thinking to like but need to comment and say realy nice way of thinking . cheers from other part of the planet were the shit things happen
@TheRainforestt Thank you so much, your comment really made my day, and just now it turned to midnight :). Bad things are not happening where you are, because you are there.
@kombucha123 wow.... people just don't write like anymore.... go into songwriting and make a revival of great music with lyrics that actually meant something. I'd love to grow up in a generation that listens to music that actually encourages purity in youth, musical comfort, and substance. save my generation and the ones to follow
Not to be negative on such a quality video...but does anybody else find the arm waving of the audience to really take away from the affect of the song? It's just so ingenuine to me. Not just in this video but always.
Emotional Ballad with a story and poetic substance -another classic.

How i wish my parents or some figure in my life introduced these songs to me, when i was younger. Yes, I still enjoy and prefer songs from nowadays, but I love these as well. It's just hard and troublesome to look for songs like these nowadays

@StrawhatxLuffy I am one of the lucky ones, i grew up listening to Mr. Joel, and i'm really upset you didn't. His voice s comfort to me, it's the voice of my father, the voice of reason, the voice who reminds me who i am. I am 18 now, getting ready for life to really begin. And this music reminds me of substance, of purity, that is lost amongst people of my age. It brings me home.

@atnasomfg haha i know, but with the teenage peer pressure from some people my age to like the same music, fashion and so on, Billy joel reminds me that i have substance, and as i said, reminds me of who i am and where i come from.

@TheRainforestt Thank you so much, your comment really made my day, and just now it turned to midnight :). Bad things are not happening where you are, because you are there.

@kombucha123 wow.... people just don't write like anymore.... go into songwriting and make a revival of great music with lyrics that actually meant something. I'd love to grow up in a generation that listens to music that actually encourages purity in youth, musical comfort, and substance. save my generation and the ones to follow

Billy Joel's music can really strike a chord for me. Especially this song.

Not to be negative on such a quality video...but does anybody else find the arm waving of the audience to really take away from the affect of the song? It's just so ingenuine to me. Not just in this video but always.
