Billy Joel - Piano man (Lyrics)

[Svhsgirl]

I heard this on the radio and fell in love with it.

[lizrdman96]

i didnt even hear it on glee or castle, i heard it on the radio and was like 'this song kicks ass!'

[BeyondNeptune]

billy joel is a filthy jew. Two of his songs - Keeping the Faith, and Only the Good Die Young were about fucking Christian gentiles. Piss on this filthy jew

[StrayBher]

Thumbs Up if you sing this when your drunk!

[juliebean0123]

Was watching CTFxC and Alli and Justin started playing this so I had to come listen to it. ^.^

[BORNKILLER76]

love this song!!!



[1991Beatleboy]

grew up listening to billie joel no wonder i had such a great childhood!

[Heavensopure]

I just heard this song on an old episode of castle so I had to look it up for download

[trapeniesnov]

love this song so much!

[iloveboobies365]

why do three ppl dislike this??

[R4GExINFERNO]

Fuck all of those shows that try to make covers.... Original is the best and always will be.

[benerack]

the words are unspoken. truly amazing

[benerack]

grew up with billy joel, unfortunate to an extent when compared to acdc. still great tunes that speak and mean alot to my soul

[generalgeewhiz]

Attention stupid people, this song existed before glee or castle. it's sad if you didn't know this song before those lame shows.

[LadyKymry]

@generalgeewhiz Nothing stupid about hearing something you use to know and it all comes back in one moment, that's how memory works... I don't know about Glee, but in Castle, you have to already know the song to recognize it...

[Morgoth5]

i see a lot of people who remenber that once listen this song and want to hear one more time to remenber the last good times...

[csi4evr]

Yupp! Castle reminded me of it! Good song.

[MrvASU009]

castle put me her for such a nce song...!

[ExMormon66]

I wish this song was a bit shorter. It is a great song but after the 3rd verse it is like... okay, enough is enough.

[lazy784]

CASTLE :D:D

[shra369]

really ringer....i've loved this song since parents played it when i was 4

[tom2drop]

Just watched The Ringer!

[thEZiP37]

[fatguyswithburgers]

[TyVidMan93]

[wackyguydude]

[uXXLEDu]

[ike2341]

don't want to piss any1 off with this but........... Wierd Al brought me here

[codyoda69]

Listening to this sense i was 8. Whats up?!

[MYT1301]

heard this while waiting on the phone for a rep from Telus moblity. I actually starting reminiscing. I didn't want the guy to come back on the phone.

[Bipolarfarley]

if there was an official video for this song it would be friggin epic!!!!!!

[PAhuntandgame]

@Bipolarfarley Haha there is check it out!

[JovanJacksonBeatBox]

i love rap to death..but this song makes me feel alright :)

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

[GoggleFreak234]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

SHUT UP AND ENJOY LIKING THIS WEIRD BANNER THING

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[yohomey1234]

@GoggleFreak234 copy and paste is a beautiful thing right?

[MAspotter617]

Funny when your listening to this song on Saturday at 9

[NekuraEnzeru]

Fantastic, nostalgiac stuff. And my Dad just pulled out his vinyl 52nd Street album.

[TheSpo69]

The most depressing, yet most inspiering song ever written! Sorry for the spelling, there are tears in my eyes!

[JAckles010378]

My Dad had me singing this from the time I could talk. It was the song we used at my Grandfathers funeral. I've heard this song almost everyday of my life through the long drive home, to the loss of family members and during party's. It still brings a tear to eye.

[SuperHolybasil]

This is a song about a time when life was enjoyed and each minute wasn't spent stressing about the next.

[mjminino]

How could you possibly dislike this song? Shit your probably just jealous that you didn't come up with this pure awesomness!

[valenghi1]

I'm a designer for a printing company, we have to do a lot of Funeral Order's of Service. Today we got one for a 14 year old boy who tragically died. This was the song the family left the church too. I couldn't have chosen a better song. Truly sad.

[TrueMartialArts]

Now it's 2 guys that were Drunk when they tried to hit the like button; "they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, But it's better than drinkin' alone"

[mom369222]

I love Billy Joel songs! I listened to him once, and from then i was hooked

[redbasher636]

This song has such a tear-jerking meledy; I get so nostalgic, I wanna cry... with joy.

[redbasher636]

This song has such a tear-jerking meledy; I get so nostalgic, I wanna cry... with joy.

[VaLeNDeBiErBeR]

I love this song♥

[Holter98]

[OutdoorsMan1775]

Wow im 14 is it sad that i know and like this song?

[HodgeMetallicaRox]

@OutdoorsMan1775 It would NEVER be sad that you do.

[seedililbarf]

@OutdoorsMan1775 not at all. this is one of the clasics, and it's a damn good one. i'm 16 and i know and love this song. i'm glad you know it too.

[Bipolarfarley]

@OutdoorsMan1775 dude shut up im 12 it doesnt matter what age you are to enjoy music

[ChillestDudeEver]

i was brought here by a deep seated appreciation for good music

[Drjonyants]

i just found this song after an exhaustive search, could not be happier!!!

[john2byld]

I feel sorry for the people hits the dislike button just to get attention..

[FatmanandStretch]

Conflicted I play the trumpet but this is one of my favourite songs ????????

[swimmermusicluver]

[xacdie]

[swimmermusicluver]

@xacdie ahhh ikr!! i can't wait to see what they do with the AMAZING season finale!

[1946chevytruck]

[Magnum556]

Nah, I'm not. :)

You finished the season yet?

[liQuidmoTion]

@SimmyMizzFab92

well yeah, typed the first 2 sentences in google and bam :P

I assumed you are dutch because the moment you left the comment is the exact day Castle is aired on Dutch television, but I guess the same for some other countries :P

Didn't finish the season yet, the episode with this song is the last I saw, next one will be broadcasted next thursday here ^^ so you already saw more?

[SimmyMizzFab92]

[SimmyMizzFab92]

@liQuidmoTion *typed

[BigCgib]

I've kept playing this over and over again while working on several things for college. Brightens my mood every single time I hit play again.

[GhostxSteven]

SO Sad and Sweet it just befutiful

[Leo90]

@WhiteFox214

That feeling is called catharsis.

[AvA1Stevie]

[IronweaverVlog]

yay



[whitefox214]

I dont know what it is with this song, it brings up a lot of sad memories but makes you feel so comforted at the same time

[piperpiper7]

[epicness22]

Metallica is better.

[OmnisOrtus]

@epicness22 Ha!

[ryanmshepard92]

@epicness22 Ha, that's funny. Good thing it's not serious.

[clowncarz]

two people are asshole and need to learn how to recognize good music when they hear it

[xbeex100]

My jewlery box tinkels this tune :) so meaningful :)

[Zachary88hebert]

This song is great to get high to...... Just sayin

[piperpiper7]

@Zachary88hebert Although it MAY sound insulting to him and anyone who liike his music and this piece... i gotta admit your kinda right... this is a song that i would think that if i were high... i would be somehow hearintg this sond stalking me in my head...

[littlemissmusical101]

[GrandOphicleide]

@TrueMartialArts the other guy was blind

[0Hydrogen0cats]

@TrueMartialArts must have been making love to his tonic and gin :P

[mjminino]

@TrueMartialArts make that two guys, they were probably together touching each others tallywackers

[cornylorny]

I love this song but I thought lyrics were supposed to be on this particular video???

[leperknight1]

how can this song have only a measly 60k views when shitty justin bieber music has over 40 million views, some times i lose hope for humanity

[porthcawlblue]

@leperknight1 cos Bieber appeals to chavs whereas BJ is a musician that music lovers relate too

[StaleMilk5]

@leperknight1

Why can't I just got to a video with good music without hearing 13 year old boys cry about justin bieber, why just why

[PurrMan55]

@leperknight1 do not say justind name

[bergenseren4]

@leperknight1 Becasue this song is so awsome, that people buy it, but I get your point :)

[Nataecinis]

Amazing song.

[zman71199]

this is an awesome song

[Showmetotheexit]

only bliss can be comprehended to this.

[jokerandbutler]

good song



[Utharas]

The lyrics are pretty great, but the melody is so trite. If the instruments weren't so obvious, this song would be so amazing. Still great though.

[MisterJinklesthe1st]

1st to dislike! But I love the song its just i couldnt pass down that oppritunity.

[RomeoBELONGStoME]

@MisterJinklesthe1st why the fuck would you dislike

[itsalightbulb]

@MisterJinklesthe1st I AM GOING TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND BREAK YOUR PIANO! DAMN IT! AAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!

[TheRuiner66]

@MisterJinklesthe1st OMG? YOU WERE 1ST TO DISLIKE. YOURE SO COOL....

[ardman911]

@SKITTZ0 The way your post is written doesn't really make sense. I think you mean that it defeats the purpose of the "Dislike" if you don't actually dislike the song.

However, I will agree that "1st" is an ass. As is anyone else who does the "FIRST!!" thing.

[TheJlew36]

@MisterJinklesthe1st you're an idiot

[iamnotadopted]

@MisterJinklesthe1st fuck you this song is great 

[VampireDiariesVids]

0 dislikes. let's keep it that way.

[jdizzle912]

@VampireDiariesVids oops sorry meant to thumbs up this xD i failed tho

[MyOwnFan1993]

@VampireDiariesVids Unfortunately some idiot decided to hit the dislike button just to be the first to do it -_-

[eseleste]

what ever u do classic fans dont listen to glee's version it fails compared to billy joel but isnt it obvious look who they're against

[LadyHeathersLair]

The best song ever.

[godfatherhat]

[rampage597n]

[Over9000CupCakes]

i heard this on yhe radio and i thought it was so beautifull i love this song

[GumDropsAndIceCream]

@Over9000CupCakes me too!i love this song so much :)

[EntertainmentTrends]

This is music.

[TheAwesomeVio]

This song is so beautiful, I have to listen over and over now. It's funny, because I haven't heard it in ages but it's always been stuck in my head lately... Older music is so, so much better!

[rawr162534]

the current generations music is so shit this is real music

[eurasianchica]

I heard this song today and it kept bugging me so I had to listen to it. It's a good song, very catchy apparently. for some reason I though it was sung by bob dylan, lol, maybe its the harmonicas.

[rollinturtle]

i just watched walk hard and dewey cox's little man song reminded me of this song because of the way dewey sang his song

[tyuii0]

i recently listened to this song and love it. the tune in 0:8-0:12 seems awfully familiar to me as being the exact tune i've heard in a song recently. i just cant remember it, if someone knows plz tell. ino this sounds random but if u do plz reply.

[MrOzzykid]

i like it it pritty good

[Sean5313]

this song makes me think of acually dealing with my alcoholism rather than just drowning myself in more liquid sorrow

[stupid4485]

ripify [dot] com is the best website to get this song.

[DEIsaac]

harmonica makes the intro, vocals make the rest

[crooklynsince1983]

i remember a very hot day in sloppy joes bar in key west me drunk and happy listining to this song

[wowsttommyy]

This has to be one of the best songs of all time i don't see any thing rough with it. If i had to pick a song to listen to for the rest of my life this would be it. Every time i listen to this song it almost makes me cry but at the same time it puts a smile on my face and makes me feel so happy. The PIANO MAN is the best and thank you for posting this.

[RED13867]

dohnt u wish u could play ... ausome song ..

[milbill24]

love this song, btw, is it in 3/4 time, idk just sounds like it

[jubjub2012]

i had this song memorized off by heart by the time i was 9... i was raised on billy and because of that i love this song, it may be a sad-er song but its always a great pick me up

[jojolasify]

what is a real estate novelist?

[jubjub2012]

@jojolasify my guest is some1 who works for the newspaper that edits the real estate for sale section or whatever???

[CasperCatie]

@jojolasify The line "Paul is a real estate novelist" is about a real estate broker who was a regular at the bar who always claimed to be working on a book. Joel figured Paul would never finish because he was always in the bar. (found on songfacts)

[MrYamaharider1234]

Great song but nobody cares if you broke up with your girlfriend.

[Karregaard]

@MrYamaharider1234

lawl

[MrYamaharider1234]

@Karregaard Thanks

[randomHbomb]

@MrYamaharider1234 I care, because his comment is an example of the healing power of music, and that is a very beautiful thing.

[kingjohnyb]

[ilovetitties999]

[danny16danimal]

[GooberDare]

[Kahgro]

Man, they don't make songs like they used to.

Everytime I hear this things, my eyes start getting all milky, and I start remembering the good ol' days.

[LolCaramelz]

Way too many fanboys commenting

Shut the fuck up this song did not change your life

[TheCometKing]

I like the song ,but your right its just a song

[MightyGarogh]

@LolCaramelz  LOL trolls are wise indeed.

[MrMelillo11]

i love this song, I cry I listen to when it

[DyggiPrahl]

damn grate song .. like the happy side of a sad life .. It's like the high side of down or somthing :P .. A song that doesn't ditch drinking, but still tells somthing about it .. Nice work Billy ;)

[ripn4life]

@DyggiPrahl = Like the Happy side of a Sad life = Now that is a way to put it indeed! Yes their shareing a drink they call loneliness, BUT ITS BETTER THAN DRINKING ALONE . ! ! !... AS you said... Nice work Billy ;)

[TheDcrat]

anyone know where I can download this for free on to an i Pod nano?

[kevinruppi]

you are a piano man

[Acme633]

Beautiful song and one of Billy Joel's best.

[Redsoxbestyear04]

one of the best songs ever made. you gotta admit

[techdeckskillage]

@Redsoxbestyear04 your right it is the best song ever made

[bluecolor138]

this song is so beautiful. It makes me want to listen to it over and over again. I have this song almost memorized. I makes you feel sad and happy at the same time. The harmony and melody of the song is happy in a way (if your a happy person every song is happy) but then the lyrics are sad if you really listen and pay attention. I love this song! I LOVE THE PIANO MAN!!!!

[Eclipse1988]

@bluecolor138 An awesome feeling indeed, I believe it may symbolize the happiness this "bar" in the song brings to people, even with their depressing problems and stories... They are all truly depressed with how they've ended up but at the same time this place lets them escape for a while... and there is the happiness or relief they get to feel for a couple of hours that the actual music represents.
