Billy Joel - Somewhere Along The Line (RARE Piano Only)

[beaurain82]

thanks for sharing... this is an awesome take... glad they went with the album cut yet this is just as good.

This has to be the demo because if you listen to the demos from My Lives, he uses harmonica. And the lyrics were different so it has to be a demo. Thanks for uploading

[TheCoon71]

you hit gold with this one!! Thanks.

[WOW9521]

Do you think this is a demo? It seems like a demo to me.

[SaturnTrack]

@WOW9521 That's what I thought. If I were to guess, I would say that this is the demo version.

[Dan474834]

Much slower, and nicer

[stumiller]

[ThePancakeSquad]

he does lo0k like buddy holly

[kyokoushio]

@ThePancakeSquad Yay! Someone else thinks so too! :D

[SaturnTrack]

Could this be the "demo" to "Somewhere Along The Line"?

[kyokoushio]

@SaturnTrack It could be, I'm afraid I really don't know - I just got this off of a fansite with no details about it other than that it was a pretty rare find

[vinice0]

@SaturnTrack most of his demo have an inferior quality in audio and this one almost sounds like an original track so maybe it is a song from some radio performance, however just as the great person who uploaded did i don't know for sure

[funshipM174]

The one thing I picked up on was, the original song lyrics go "there's an old and feeble man not far behind", but in this version, unless I am mistaken, he sings the lyrics "there's an old and feeble man within his mind".

I could be wrong, but that's what it souinds like to me.

[kyokoushio]

@funshipM174 I think that that and the fact that he repeats the bridge-y bit in this version are the only two lyrical differences but yeah, I do love these old alternate versions of songs. It kinda makes you feel like you're listening to them for the first time again ^^

[CristianMolinaro28]

Fantastic,best version of ever!



[kyokoushio]

@CristianMolinaro28 It's so pretty isn't it ^^

[funshipM174]

CLASSIC! I always loved this song, but this version is very good. I love the harmonice also!

[kyokoushio]

@funshipM174 Ah yes, I've spent quite some time sat there trying to learn the harmonica part... Apparently I'm not as good as whoever played it in this recording... ^^

[username102793]

This version is absolutely amazing. I'd say its better than the album version. It portrays the mood of the lyrics a lot better and fits the western style of the album better.

[kyokoushio]

@username102793 I know, it's ever so pretty isn't it ^^ And I'd agree with you regarding the album version

[TheFooey]

woah this is awesome you have no idea it has a couple of things i love in music its only missing the crowd of a live performance realizing what song it is and going crazy. love it. thanks. with only the piano and harmonica its just cool.

[kyokoushio]

@TheFooey Glad you like! ^^
