This and Only the Good Die Young hands down my favorite Billy Joel songs. I'm only a college student, but I'm so thankful I was able to see him in concert.
Can't find it- But anyone remember Billy live at Grammy or somethin Awards doin this song right after Sinatra appeared befuddled in the middle of his acceptance speach? When the silent pause before the final chorus comes, Billy leans slowly foward to the mic and in a basso kind'a voice sez something like " tic tic tic-valuable commercial time slipping away". Turns out Sinatra's Mgr. ordered the cutoff-Frank was on Meds- BUT Billy didn't know it at time. Bill is ConfirmedCertifiedClass Now&Forev
@redlightmax Thanks 4 reply- good to know things like that are remembered & not lost -[ what with all the PussyBlingBling that passes for BadAss today]. PS= BadAssBilly never got much recognition/respect for doin "TheTimes TheyAre A'Changin ' in *PREBREAKUP* Russia *BEFORE* it was sort'a it was NOT dangerous to do so. Not much inside info on that so whoknows how gutzy it was - BUT, In MyBook - he scored for just THINKIN' of it. [ I'm puttin him up for a "GEORGE" ] [GeorgeCarlinMemorialAward]
@justsomefellow2 Wee vote down for the fact you had to head to the kitchen int' middle of the night to find something to eat :( - I do that when I'm upset. I hope you have beautiful dreams that seek out something a lot better than that which would stress you out and disrupt a peaceful night's sleep. Remember, the morning is wiser that the evening, get rested and have a brilliantly warm and positive Sunday tomozxx
says a lot. Especially since I used as background of pictures from Viet Nam. it said a lot about the sleep time dreams. Memories that are never answered.
Just love Billy Joel! This is a Fav of mine. Would love to hear him live. I think if they made a movie of his life, they should have Bruce Willis play him. Keep bringing us grt. songs love your sound and band. Thx
OMG! i genuinely had no idea he sang this! Lol i remember about 10 years ago, i was with my older sister in the kitchen at midnight and being a 7 year old midnight was SO exciting, and this song came on the radio and we thought the lyric was "in the middle of the Nile", i thought he was talking about the Egyptian river! anyway it's been stuck in my mind but only recently heard it again. I had an urge to listen to "We Didn't Start The Fire", and this came up!! I was shocked that he sang this! <3
I saw him at the old Richfield Coliseum on this tour in 1993. He was great. The whole arena was just dancing and loving this tune. I was 15 - it was a blast!
@TFCfan2021 He actually hits a lot of high notes still, but his voice has certainly got lower. He can't sing, for example, "Piano Man" in the original key. But for someone who has lived and sung as hard as he has, his voice has held up well and I think he would be great to see live.
@ mission2marsden I was searching for this song for years....I used to listen to this song every morning at 6 o'clock on the radio when i was 15. i searched for this song ever since without succes, till now!!!!
Perhaps the best song by this great artist. Profound on every level- lyrical, rhythmic, melodic, spiritual. This song moves me every single time I hear it, and, as a guitarist, I love to play it (even though I cannot approach what Billy does with the song, and never will). Thank you, Billy Joel, for this great gift.
Besides the memorable lyrics and the rhythm of the song, there's something about what the lyrics are saying that caught my attention. It's like the lyrics say that the speaker is trying to find something in the middle of the night, yet still asleep. So...in short...it's like a journey of discovery, IMO. Thanks for the upload. One of my favorite songs from this artist.
This song really touched me I wrote "Rivers of Life"
Wooo hooo you gotta just jump in and swim it. Cross that wide river and grab the lost parts from the jungle on the opposite shore. Don't stay in the valley you will never make it to the river or to the other side. It isn't the promised land. It is "a land". You cross that
This was my gradpa's favorite song it brings tears to my eyes ~{~R.I.P~}~ grandpa i will always love you and you will always be remembered!!!! Love ya!!!
...i hope it doesn't take the rest of my life until i find what it is that i been looking for...to me ,every billy joel's song contains an unforgettable line... he's just great
