Note: Annotation subtitles grouped by year/stanza. I had to label the last events 1964-1989 because they didn't appear in order by year in the song.

Credits:

Music Written and Sung by: Billy Joel

  • nixon is back refrence of black ops

  • @superchaz2002 ya ok

  • at 2:48 for the bay of pigs invasion why did you put in a picture of vietnam?

  • @wake0321 because I had to go through nearly 200 pictures for this video, and it is nearly impossible to get every one right (sorry I'm not perfect). Besides, I figured it seemed accurate enough anyway.

  • I have watched about a dozen versions of this song tonight, by far this is the best one, and the only I have left a comment about.

  • @imspiker2 Thanks, I appreciate it.

see all

  • Burning in the center of this "Plate"that contained the whole human race and our history,but this Fire spread fast from the center,just as Neo woke up in the Matrix,in the battery fields,I too WOKE UP,to UNDERSTAND IT WAS THE FIRE OF LIFE/DEATH,coming for us all!!ON acid I understood that as the fire swept past,hte ashes where those who died,and I would too,BUT WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE,IT WAS ALLWAYS BURNIN SINCE THE WORLD WAS TURNING!!Listen to this on LSD,then you'll SEE what I mean!GOOD LUCK!

  • i remeber listening to this one night on the radio,in HIGHschool,back in 94 or 95,antway,I was trippin on 4hits of "White Fluff(my favorite blotter acid,by the way!)some pretty clean acid,considering it was1994or95,but there I was,TRIPPIN with my eyes closed to this song&I seem to have woken up in a hallucination,where there was a fire engulfing this paper plate(sort of)from the center outward,as I lay at the edge of this "plate" I noticed I sat up to see a FIRE radiating out towards me,burning-

  • If somebody does not have the chorus down pat by the time this is over, they should be ashamed. First time I heard this song, (thanks, Dad!) it got stuck in my head for several hours.

  • @superchaz2002 dont you mean @wake0321

  • @wake the bay of pigs were in a war I think thats why
