i was 15 when this song came out....used to listen to it on my walkman in my sleep...this song reminds me of growing up, and the time when i was not afraid.....
Oh wow. My sister linked this from her myspace account and I just... now being flashed back to being young. Billy Joel was once one of the only artists I'd listen to! That's way back it feels, but wow, this was such a great song for me. And sounds so good still in 2008!
This is an underrated gem of a song that got away and should have been a hit. Although I could never understand exactly what he says on 3:28, it sounds like shulagolabeavornavol, gotta lot of catching up to do while the night is still young. LOL
I also think the leading man is a ringer for a young Richard Gere, especially when he holds up the match at about 3:05, a number that means something to Billy in The Entertainer! LOL
@DrDeathPM Well, when it first started playing on the radio, Piano Man did have a couple verses taken out. One of the radio stations near us is an oldies station that never seems to update their lineup, and I heard them play the shortened version once a couple years ago.
I don't know why, but I love the part with him and the kid at the piano. I guess it reminds me of me. Billy Joel made me start playing the piano.
