Billy Joel has the ability to put lyrics together to paint the lives of the fishermen who are being forced out of their trade by the LARGE commercial fishing boats. Some of these fishermen are 3rd and 4th generation in the fishing trade. And the music is haunting, because this is a real life situation that has gotten much worse since this song was written back in 1989!

@paulashous1 Thank you for this information!!!! This is appreciated! :D

On the contrary, yes I heard this song in the Hangover II, and it is a very nice song! So therefor I thank the movie, the producers of the movie for adding this particular song to the film, because I would have never heard it and neither would the other folks who are here commenting about it. Is it so bad to say you heard this song from the Hangover II? Personally, I would be thanking the movie also for adding a timeless classic.

@BambooKirin Thank you, and I agree.

Awesomely done. This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs ever made. I've loved it ever since I was a little kid when it first came out. Great job on the video.

@nightfox142006 Thank you for the lovely comment!

If another idiot sais "Thumbs up if you here for Hangover 2", i will start shooting. Don't be proud that you are a dumbass, and didn't know this instant classic existed for 22 years now. Ignorance is not a bliss.

THIS SONG IS AWSOME

[GrissomLovesSara]

And yes I've always loved this song but thought it was cool that thousands of other people would now love it thanks to hangover II

[GrissomLovesSara]

I just hate when people find ways to be nasty to other people for how they found a song or why they like a song. how fucking bizarre

[dockking2001]

Great song for fishermen like me
