I'm a little confused now, which is the actual music video for this song? This one or the other one also titled official video? Anybody know for certain?
The only reason why there are 23 dislikes is because they are pissed that anything with "Justin Beiber" in the title has 10x as many hits, understandable
there is a lot of crap out there granted and most of the mainstream is crap and mass produced auto tuned rubbish but if you truly love music there is plenty of amazing musicians.. devendara banhart, mumford and sons, jack johnson, ben harper, xavier rudd, trevor hall, bright eyes, five wheel soul, kalai, iron and wine, benjamin franciss leftwich and thats jus to name a few. talent is out there if you know where to look :)
this song is a song of all times i´m just 14 years old and i like it also very much and will always keep loving this song it is a great song (sorry for my bad english i´m from holland)
I love the pop culture and stuff, it is the BOMB! But this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't understand why we can't all just like different stuff.
I love Taylor Swift and hate Bieber. I'm also a Green Day fan, but I also like Beethoven and Billy Joel. Why is that a problem? Thank you, @alrod66, for your insightful comment! :D
I truly wouldn't say that Taylor Swift is a 'talentless bitch'.... Sure, she's not my taste in music, but she is definitely far better than most of the crap being produced nowadays.
Awesome how Billy could write/perform such a MULTI layered, poignant song at such a young age. Haunting melody, memorable characters, fantastic lyrics. You find yourself wanting to know more of the backstories of the characters he's singing about. I'll always remember Billy like this. I cried when he got older.
PIANO MAN HAS A STORY OF SEVERAL PEOPLE TO LISTEN AND TODAY WE HAVE PARENTS WHO R BUSY WITH THEIR CAREERS AND THEY GIVE FAST FOOD TO THEIR KIDS.... EVERYTHING IS FAST U CAN UPLOAD YOUR SONG SO FAST LIKE A FAST DIVORCE WE HAVE NO TIME TO MAKE SONGS / FILMS ON BROKEN FAMILY / KIDS LIVING WITH SINGLE MOM.... IN THE PAST IT WAS EXTENDED FAMILIES WITH GRAND PARENTS NOW KIDS GROW UP WITHOUT BOTH PARENTS WITH NO SIGN OF GRAND PARENTS SINCE GRAND PARENTS END UP IN CARE HOMES WHAT A FAST WORLD
I like my life filled with music...lots of it - lots of different types...and I'm a big believer that it's perfectly doable to like the old and the new and the inbetween :) LONG LIVE VARIETY
'' sometimes U play me a memorie,I'm not realy sure how it goes, it is sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete, but then I took an arrow in the knee'' are the actual lyrics...
Think about the kind of music that was popular in 1973 and you realize how original Billy Joel is as an artist to write something like this and make it a hit.
This shoulda been the intro to a bad ass musical sitcom or something. That would have totally ruled!!! Billy Joel could been the middle class dad with dreams of being a musician, playing gigs at the local bar and trying to get his music out there. Like a better Partridge Family :)
@SinisterHojo It still, can, man. It still can... Just go and write it. Billy is still with us. :) A little older, but better still, he could be a grandpa or smthn :) :) :)
@pepsis1987 That would be better actually. Cuz then he could have a son who thinks what he is doing is silly, until they come together and strengthen there relationship through the bond of music :) Great idea. Maybe I will write that...
@vannekrdnas No seas tonto, la cancion original es un poema, la version de don Oscar esta cortada, Don´t be foolish, this song is a poem. Don Oscar´s version cut some parts,
Todays era music is terrible, it takes no talent to make a song because of auto-tune. Why can't the world see that it takes talent to make a song and that todays music is made up in minutes, sounds all the same, and is inappropriate. I am not an adult by the way so it isn't like i grew up with this music. I hope in the future people realize the true definition of music.
@Askate Wtf? Don't you dare? What are you, everyone's Mom? Plz, 99.9% of the stuff on the radio today is garbage. The real musicians don't get played on the radio anymore.
@21icecreamman Funny thing is he and a lot of others from this time has so much talent he probably made songs in five minutes. Difference between now and then is electronics aren't just in the amps and chords anymore. all good music is off the tv in various local places around the world.
@21icecreamman I know what you mean, i'm 16 all of my friends are obsessed with dubstep. I will never understand how people enjoy that "music", it's just a guy with computer software making noises!
@21icecreamman I am 18 and completely agree. Sure its good for a rave party, but that is why i listen to Angels and Airwaves. Tom DeLong is the closest thing your going to get to that today and his music is amazing.
@21icecreamman Not true. There are definitely mainstream singers today that can't sing at all without autotune, you shouldn't stereotype today's era of music like that. There are many mainstream singers that are amazing without autotune. Look at Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson, Michael Buble, Amy Lee (Evanescence), Beyonce, Rihanna, and many more. If you don't like today's music, that is fine, but it is ignorant to say that none of today's singers have talent.
@21icecreamman Check out Eluveitie. Maybe you don't like it, but they are absolutely different to every pop music. And they can play their music live, no auto-tune. Have fun! ^^
@21icecreamman I agree so much! i'm19 and i only listen to music from the 20th century, this century'smusic isa disgrace! but billy joel in particular literay has (in my opiunion) the best voice in the world, his voice i think, is perfect! :)
@strangledseagull You are missing out on great music! just like @alrod666 said you have to look deep for it, you can't turn on the radio and expect to hear good music, that's not how it works its called "mainstream" for a reason, its music that is catchy and listenable so people can have something to do on their commute to work. Its not ment to be a classic or good. check out the albumn "Distant Relatives" by Nas & Damian Marley, also Johnny Polygon listen to those and get back
@21icecreamman Here we go again- hopelessly nostalgic people whining about ´real talent`.Seriously? Real talent? Listen to some DISCO. There was terrible music in the 70s too and for a good reason it disappeared.If you have to dig so deep in the past to find something comforting, why don´t you dig a little deeper in today´s music? There are just as many talented musicians around and loads of great songs. And just as much crap. If you only want to hear crap, then that´s all there is. Your choice.
@Korexification There isn´t and there probably won´t be another Freddie Mercury or John Lennon or Bon Scott. For various reasons. But that´s not my point. All I´m saying is that there are great musicians out there, available to see and hear right here on youtube or tons of other websites. You can explore them open mindedly or refuse to do so like @21icecreamman and many others.
@alrod666 Well i'm not really stuck in that era since I wasn't even born then. I just like how to the music was genuine. But Adam Lambert is now touring with Queen, thanks to American idol and other shows such as. Have been giving us pretty good results for people who can actually sing.
@alrod666 I'm sorry you can't appreciate the music that influenced a generation. Perhaps someday, you'll grow a brain and figure out what life is really about. FYI, this music stirs wonderful memories for post Vietnam generation. Of course, you wouldn't understand that either, because you obviously didn't exist at that time. Rock on with your music today, which I, for one find hopelessly pathetic.
@dougs510 Have you even read my comment? Where does it say that I don´t appreciate old music? Exactly that´s the kind of ignorance I was writing about. I´m really sorry I did not stop collecting records in 1979 to live up to your standard.
There are talented musicians now. but there really was, however, about a 15 year bulge when rock music was just fantastic and that period will probably never be equalled. I remember a few years back Spin magazine put out a list of the best songs released after the 70's to prove music didn't die after 1979. Their number 1 song was "London Calling" by the Clash. Only problem was that "London Calling" was released in 1979. Kinda says everything, huh?
@mattymath1 Haha, yeah I read that, too. What an ingenious editor that was. And I totally agree with you that time was very special. Many of my all time favourite records were made before 1980. But also after that and I wouldn´t want to miss any of them. If people only listen to the old stuff, how can new, talented bands ever become popular? They need support and they certainly don´t get it from the music industry anymore.
@alrod666 I share your sentiment my friend, but... I think the real reason we all bellyache about 'real talent' is because it's no longer popular & mainstream. I must confess that you are %100 right though. Good stuff is out there if we'er willing to seek it out.
@alrod666 True, true, There are still a great bunch of musicians out today. The one difference is that the "pop" music of today is almost completely shit. It's the industry to blame. But I digress, you just can't compare the music of today to the music of yesterday. It's always going to change, but that doesn't mean that today's music isn't as good.
@21icecreamman you say it takes no talent to make music with auto tune? Have you ever tried it? just because today's music utilizes different instruments doesn't mean it is bad! I love this style of music but you are ignorant if you say that there is no skill or talent involved with auto tune.
Im not an aduld too, and Im exactly on your opinion, because these "Artists" just press one Key on a key bord, go to the PC, make 26 effects on it, and everybody loves it!
Where are these times gone.? Where are this bars you just enter have a drink alone listening to live music and getting happily drunk while smoking 20 cigarettes.
I love these old songs. I mean, all the new songs are about sex, drugs, sex, nightclubs, love. Justin Bieber is playing what he calls "Music". Same with all the other pop stars. Micheal Jackson was great. He was real pop. Oh how i love the oldies. Although, my favorite would have to be.."Next door to an angel, by Neil Sedaka". MY FAVORITE. Oh...How i wish i lived in the 80's. Cheap food. If we made revenue and brought it to the days where burgers were 5 cents, we'd be able to solve world hunger.
Man billy joel was awesome... wish I could have been around when he was in his prime... playing songs like this on the piano is always heartwarming... they just dont make musicians like that anymore!
Excellent job Billy Joel! This song paints a picture taken from reality. So many personalities in a bar on a Saturday night, hoping a drink or being part of a crowd takes away their loneliness, worries, troubles, etc. and listening to the local talent that should be elsewhere. WOW. This kind of songwriting is the real deal and todays so called talent will NEVER measure up to it.
@whitelighterxxx You wanna know why I don't believe that? Because like in the music video for the song Pyro by Kings of Leon, this is a fake bar......and staged acting.
@RockandPartyJon I personally don't care what your beliefs are in the music video. Staged acting, sure, that's a given. But this IS his bar and my grandfather was the manager. Do your research bud.
@RockandPartyJon first of all rock and party jon i dont know you so im not gonna go out of my way to get and give you proof that not only was my grandfather the owner/manager of the bar but this was his actual place its offensive to me that your basically saying you hate me cus you think im trying to get attention by saying my dead grandpa owned this. Hes in the video, 4:03 is a perfect shot. With almost 1 million views im not putting shit out there. Keep on keepin on dumb ass.
@whitelighterxxx look i'm just curious to see some proof no need for the language. It'd be cool if that were true, but I mean...that's a set. If you could prove it wasn't that would be awesome...like the name of the bar or something. or the year or anything.
@whitelighterxxx That's awesome whitelighter, you don't by any chance know what street it was on, do you? It's not that I don't believe you, I just like to find old buildings
@sgtpepper1138 haha I only got frustrated with that guy cause he was saying rude stuff, but yea i'll ask my dad if he knows cus i don't and i'll get back to ya
I was born yesterday and like this song. I died tomorrow and like this song. I'm 12 and like this song. I'm a teeniebopper female nitwit and like this song. The navy gay image came from this song that's why the guy with no time for a wife is talking with Davey. The internet slapped me and I like this song.
Hace unos meses atras un amigo llego al bar donde yo trabajaba y medijo -escucha la cancion de piano man, te la dedico- no le di mucha importancia ya la habia escuchado mas nunca le preste atencion hoy mi madre viendo el programa de la VOZ MEXICO, la escucho y me dijo lo mismo poniendo atencion a la letra tiene razon, me identifico mucho con esta cancion.

ピアノマンの下積み時代の商売は本当につらいです。自分で重たい楽器を運び、曲を書き、歌い、練習をし、出演する場所を交渉し、テストされ、そして人が飲んで遊んでいる場所で、見られなくてもけなされても黙々と弾き続け、歌い続ける・・・。そんな商売です。
そしてその演奏者が女性だった場合、宿泊先ではプロモータに性交渉を求められる・・・。
Billyほどの実力も才能も全く無かった私は、早々に足を洗いました。この世界でやっていくには才能が足りなすぎる、と自覚して。

@alrod666 I share your sentiment my friend, but... I think the real reason we all bellyache about 'real talent' is because it's no longer popular & mainstream. I must confess that you are %100 right though. Good stuff is out there if we'er willing to seek it out.

@alrod666 True, true, There are still a great bunch of musicians out today. The one difference is that the "pop" music of today is almost completely shit. It's the industry to blame. But I digress, you just can't compare the music of today to the music of yesterday. It's always going to change, but that doesn't mean that today's music isn't as good.

@21icecreamman There is REALLY good music out there today, it's just really hard to find. Most of everything on top 40 is crap.
XxCyanAndWaterxX 4 weeks ago
@21icecreamman you say it takes no talent to make music with auto tune? Have you ever tried it? just because today's music utilizes different instruments doesn't mean it is bad! I love this style of music but you are ignorant if you say that there is no skill or talent involved with auto tune.

Im not an aduld too, and Im exactly on your opinion, because these "Artists" just press one Key on a key bord, go to the PC, make 26 effects on it, and everybody loves it!
This Is crap!!!

I love these old songs. I mean, all the new songs are about sex, drugs, sex, nightclubs, love. Justin Bieber is playing what he calls "Music". Same with all the other pop stars. Micheal Jackson was great. He was real pop. Oh how i love the oldies. Although, my favorite would have to be.."Next door to an angel, by Neil Sedaka". MY FAVORITE. Oh...How i wish i lived in the 80's. Cheap food. If we made revenue and brought it to the days where burgers were 5 cents, we'd be able to solve world hunger.

Excellent job Billy Joel! This song paints a picture taken from reality. So many personalities in a bar on a Saturday night, hoping a drink or being part of a crowd takes away their loneliness, worries, troubles, etc. and listening to the local talent that should be elsewhere. WOW. This kind of songwriting is the real deal and todays so called talent will NEVER measure up to it.

I know no one will read this, but it’s worth a shot.
I’ll post it anyways, just in case.
I'm a pianist (16 years old), and have been for about 7 years. I know there are SO many in this world, but I'd like for you to see me.
I would love nothing more than to have people enjoy my music, and become popular on YouTube.
If anyone who reads this could press the "Thumbs Up" button, other people will see it.
Just a simple button press could make my dream come true. Thank you ♥

Hes in the video, 4:03 is a perfect shot. With almost 1 million views im not putting shit out there. Keep on keepin on dumb ass.

@whitelighterxxx look i'm just curious to see some proof no need for the language. It'd be cool if that were true, but I mean...that's a set. If you could prove it wasn't that would be awesome...like the name of the bar or something. or the year or anything.
