Billy Joel- You' re only human (Second wind)

[danimusic00]

This is one of my favourite Billy Joel songs ever and I don't even know why.

[ziv197]

Junior year i had a 4-5 month conflict with a good friend of mine, resulting in the end with a betrayal from one of my friends, and things seeming hopeless, like they will never be the same again, and we could not be friends again. after a while, though, things cooled down and we became friends again. i'm not gonna lie, the betrayal destroyed me, but after a while, i picked up my pieces and everything became okay again.

Things always turn out. don't lose hope

[mistressofaminer]

Believe me Billy knows exactly what he was doing, otherwise they would've done a simple retake and spliced it.Just imagine how monotonous it would sound if he continued with the same repetitive verse without the delay followed by the laughter, that's substantiated by the editing of these verses during the time it received airplay on the radio.This song is way too long for mainstream airplay without subect to butchering.

[neon471]

I just wanted to say that the laughing part was actually a mistake. He was laughing because he started the verse late, but kept it because it showed how easy it is to make mistakes(going along with the theme of the song). You gotta love Billy Joel :)

[RMN1Dallas1]

I think 4 people are not human. They dislike this song. As JFK said "We are all mortal."

[darvon63]

I want to thank Billy for this. Forgiveness begins at home.

[wiisalute]

what album is this song on?

[thevisualboy37]

3:19 I LOVE that part! It's so cool!

[NYtoTX]

4 people are getting a bad reputation in the neighborhood!

[jrusso9722]

Inspirational!!! I dig it alot. It's therapuetic.

[SVonCarson]

This is my returning to sanity song when recovering from a bout of situational depression.

[Ibegrenademonkey]

adam savage is the guy in the music video who gets saved by that steroid taking guy

[Tolstoy111]

A nice song buried under terribly dated production. It sounds like someone at home with their Casio.

[Chyken3600]

The drums can be heard every half-second.

[TLAZOLTEOTL1000]

I love it !!!

[TLAZOLTEOTL1000]

I love it !!!

[estherbonnie13075]

and by the way, if there is someone celebrating Charlie Sheen, it's only because there is something refreshing about a diehard coke-and-whore fiend finally trying to make it right. even the angels in celebrate the lost sinner who turns around. it says, if there is hope for him, there is hope for anyone. and no matter how much you hatye to admit it, anger is not your friend, it is not your homey, it is not your backup. it is your slavemaster, beating the crap out of you from the inside out.

[omojous9]

I guess Hitler and Satan don't like the lyrics & message of this song...

[wickedout2010]

This song has always been one of my favorite Billy Joel song's! And he has a ton of great songs too. Billy Joel rocks! Love this man!

[Tiggermk4]

Heard this song for the first time on his greatest hits album about 10 years ago. Has saved my life literally.... and d*mn good advice too.

[TheZenmaster46]

This track should be played on the radio at least once a day.Reminding us of no matter how hard our life is,God is always n control

[mactheartofwarfare]

This song has saved my life from my depression since the eighties,when it first came out and suicide numerous times

[StaraptorEmpoleon]

This is the best set of lyrics:

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else

But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself

It's alright, it's alright, sometimes that's what it takes

We're only human, we're supposed to make mistakes

(You're only human, ooo-ooo)

[StaraptorEmpoleon]

@MiddaysStar Yes< I agree with the last sentence (sorry< having problems with my keyboard)

[StaraptorEmpoleon]

This song cheers me up when I am sad! :D

[samalayork]

this song is all resumed from all those money-sucking motivational crap....

[gabriellastar88]

I love his lyrics sooo much!!! Especially leave an honest moment alone

[eltonator]

@gabriellastar88 Leave a TENDER Moment Alone ;)

[vjm3]

I'll stick with Billy piano thank you very much. This reminds me too much of the 80's...and 80's shitty fashion. Ugh.

[entertainme3000]

Don't forget your second wind sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in(one more time) don't forget your second wind sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in woooooooah woo! Don't forget your second wind you're only human wooo woo don't forget your second wind you're only human woo woo woo.(close)

[Humble743]

This video is such a true story of what Billy Joel went through. His road to success was an incredible painful one of nearly everyone giving up on him, including his girl-friend at the time. Somehow he never gave up. What an inspiration he is. I recommend to anyone learning more about this incredible story about Billy Joel.

[RepublicMan4ever]

What is he throwing in the picture?

[Noeladishi]

@RepublicMan4ever A rock

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@RepublicMan4ever a rock.

[JThos99]

Absolutely everyone!

[JThos99]

Absolutely everyone!

[JThos99]

Absolutely everybody!!!!!!!!!

[CrazyCanuckDude]

this is LITTERALLY the worst song I ever heard.... but if you all like it, then it's not my place to pass judgement.

[Thief555WWJD]

I'm making fliers that help people who are dealing with different issues. Do you think that this song should be put into the section that helps people with suicidal thoughts???? Idk if i should bother putting this on, because in my opinion most of the youth today don't listen to this kind of music. For the most part they listen to rap, metal, and rock.... What do you guys think?

[louisianabones]

@Thief555WWJD This song has a strong message for any age or time. Remember, you're only human........DON'T FORGET YOUR SECOND WIND! I would use it.

[oddsox1919]

heard this song was written to discourage teen suicide...hope it it has...

[Sonic3000]

Note: The saxophone part beginning at 2:49 is edited out in the Billy Joel's "Greatest Hits Vol 1 and 2" version.

[Seekthetruth2010]

this is an awsome song picked me up on my bad days 5stars

[monkibizniz]

i'm here to see adam lol

[shootthemessenger33]

I wish they would do a video playing this to scenes from "Its a Wonderful Life".

[ashley7327]

OMG that is such a good idea!!

[Kgv1]

billy J. was able to text songs in such a way that he was always talking about "you & your life" in his lyrics...what an artist, what a singer, one of the all time best singer/songwriters/ storytellers of our time!

Billy you truly are the "piano man"...this song (second wind) always gave me hope and drive to continue with any flailing endeavour I may have at hand

Billy, thanks for the inspiration down through the years!!!

[Doobie1975]

I think this song is very underrated and you never come across this song on the radio airwaves which sucks cause this is one of the best songs he's ever done

[kensey1973]

i concur!! It is one of my favorites, too.

[LittleBlueHeron]

@Doobie1975: I agree completely, I've only heard this song on the radio once. :(

And this is one of the best songs he's ever written! I love it! When I'm down, I listen to it and it cheers me up! :D

[Turanga1i1a]

@Doobie1975 Indeed, I miss this song too. It's probably 25 years since I last heard it.

[LittleBlueHeron]

@Doobie1975: I've only heard on the radio once...

I agree that it's underrated. It's such a beautiful song! I play it when I'm sad. It makes me feel better :)

[entertainme3000]

@Doobie1975 oh exactly. they need to play more songs like this one and Allentown(I don't know why but the strike about the steel mill town accompanied by a racy video) just got to me and I'd like to here it more: though they never told us what was real/iron and coke/chrome and steel/and we're living here in Allentown.

I gotta tell you I'm not big on the song Piano man or "we didn't start the fire" I loved stil rock n roll, my life, big shot, this is the time, honesty, river of dreams

[entertainme3000]

@Doobie1975 pt 2 All about soul and Captain Jack

[CAT31in09]

@Doobie1975 Certainly agree, this song is way underrated!

[TheRealSaucyWench]

It was great of issmaster1234 to post this, if the actual music video was posted it would just be taken off YouTube straight away.

Great song :)

[Alchrat]

They said Adam Savage is here.....

[0hdarn3d]

Yea.. I heard that too.. I wonder where...

[bugio22]

he is a drowning person saved by someone according to wikiepdia

[0hdarn3d]

I saw that on their official websites and description... but i haven't found the vid yet):

[bugio22]

you can see it on metacafe.. just google it, you will find it

[derleo89]

I think half the people are here just to see adam :D

[figment1988]

@Alchrat this myth is confirmed (he appears in the beach scene of the video)

[MrSlendermanxLove]

@Alchrat He's in the vid

[xxxPurplexGirlxxx]

@Alchrat He's in the music video, not the song.

[olbeatle]

GREAT SONG!!! I love it!!! thanks issmaster1234!!!

[issmaster1234]

thx.

[TheCoon71]

Its from the 'Glass Houses' album sleave. Its a rock.

[Doobie1975]

Didn't this song sound similar to a 1970s song titled "This Will Be an Everlasting Love"? which was sung bu a female artist (can't remmeber who the artist was)

[issmaster1234]

This will be by Natalie Cole.

[entertainme3000]

@Doobie1975 well the song was in the spring of 75 by 25 year old soul artist Natalie cole(who looks so much better at 60 than those heroin junkie filled days) but this will be was not about suicide...I hated that song...give me Jumpstart, Pink Cadillac, Miss You like crazy, unforgettable and U Finally made me Happy
