Was lucky enough to see Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks this last summer in Chicago and for people in their seventies those two put one one helluva show. ❤

[@christopheryochum3602]

This isn't a song ... it's five songs all smashed into an epic story.

[@Caperhere]

The Stranger album is one of those records without a bad song. So good, every song.

[@dbasstij512]

Interesting. I never saw it that way. To me, it's young lovers meet up years later (at "their" Italian restaurant). At first, they catch up with each other (I got a new job, you look great). "Brender & Eddie" is them gossiping about the popular people from the old days. Billy's band was excellent. The tempo changes kind of reflect the way a real conversation would ebb and flow over the course of the evening. Billy's greatest song!

[@SaeedReacts.]

That could definitely be it. I might interpret it different when listening to it again. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@steveullrich7737]

@@SaeedReacts.I thought initially they were the objects not the subjects of the song but upon listening many times it seems to be it was Brenda and Eddie who were meeting up years later. The fast tempo in the song is their younger life passing by fast and the slower and more lamentful music at the end was the mature Brenda and Eddie who had in a way had had their prime of life years ago. Such great songwriting.

[@The_Maeus]

@@steveullrich7737 I tend to prefer dbass’s interpretation based on the lines, “That’s all I heard about Brenda and Eddie. I can’t tell you no more ‘cause I told you already.”

[@steveullrich7737]

@@The_Maeus Thanks, that's a good arguement to support dbass' interpretation. The alternative explanation would be they refer to themselves in the third person but don't know what Billy might have actually had in mind.

[@TheodoreWeiser]

Yeah, Brenda and Eddie were the IT couple from their youth, and they are reminiscing about "Hey, what ever happened with Breda and Eddie?"

[@sourisvoleur4854]

My very favorite of Billy's songs, for all the reasons you say. The story telling, the instumentation, the progginess of the change-ups, what an amazing song.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Magnificent song! Thanks for watching.

[@mattreynolds612]

I grew up on Billy Joel & this song. Ultra-Classic

[@bafialk]

It feels like the “couple” were a high school couple, like Brenda and Eddie, and were in the same group of friends. They seem to be reminiscing of those days and what happened after high school. So many amazing relatable nuances from someone who graduated high school in 1976. Amazing times. Life moves on and catching up with high school romances and friends at a restaurant is a nostalgic moment of reflection. Billy Joel is brilliant. And… I just saw him in an interview where he revealed to have stopped writing because he wasn’t as good as Beethoven or Mozart. Even the best of artists have their insecurities. Crazy. He’s soooo talented.

[@terri2494]

And if they could switch when they were born Beethoven and Mozart might be saying the same about Billy. All musical geniuses reflecting the times they lived in.

[@jmrob1107]

You cannot go wrong with any Billy Joel song you select to react to. "And So It Goes" is beautiful.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I recorded a reaction to And So it Goes, but its currently blocked. Hopefully that will get resolved soon. It's on patreon in the meantime.

[@kmach1000]

Yes, pure poetry!

[@dagmar.6954]

Another great storytelling song from "The Stranger" album. Billy said in an interview that this song was written about the "Fontana di Trevi" restaurant across from Carnegie Hall which he frequented during a series of June 1977 concerts.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Amazing song. Thanks for sharing some info!

[@LoisChisholm]

Here's another great example of "The Many Sounds of Billy Joel" because there are so many. He's a great songwriter and storyteller.

[@TexasMagnolia]

To me, one of Billy’s greatest songs….3 incomplete songs, turned into one great story! A Must Watch LIVE!

[@KristenJohnson-it2sz]

Billy Joel said he had three songs that were not completed that he didn’t know what to do with. He end up putting them all into this one single.

[@traceydsm]

Great review! I also recommend Billy's "Rosalinda's Eyes."

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for watching and the recommendation!

[@AVGuyhall]

I was working as a radio DJ at an album rock station when this was released. So many great hits came from this record. Phenomenal album.

[@barryhickman6911]

This song is like a three act play! It also goes full circle (listen closely and you'll understand)!

[@alexharbison4411]

Nice reaction this album was one of the best driving cruising albums ever written. Everybody knew all the words Made driving a lot of fun

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will keep that in mind for my next road trip 😃 Thanks for watching.

[@JPDillon]

Because the title says these are multiple "scenes", I have always interpreted this as three different conversations at three different tables. That is why each section has a different pace and feel.

[@SaeedReacts.]

That is great! Thanks for sharing!

[@katrinacash6393]

I don't know the official story of who Brenda & Eddie are but I always interpreted it as the backstory of the two old friends meeting in the Italian Restaurant. I recommend watching this played live just to watch Billy Joel's brilliant piano playing. Great reaction!

[@JoanBelo-h5y]

YESSSSS to this 👆!

[@JoanBelo-h5y]

3 act play...

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for that recommendation! And for watching ofcourse!

[@1960rlv]

I’d always interpreted it was Brenda and Eddie from first scene on through. They parted the closest of friends and I’ll meet you anytime you want…..

[@sourisvoleur4854]

My interpretation also. 100%

[@njg247]

You can't go wrong with Billy Joel if it's story telling you love and when it comes to instrumentation - well it's just inspired.

[@JPDillon]

There is a very good live version of this on YT, from one of his arena tours when he was at his peak in the 80s.

[@gumbowski]

One interpretation I have read is that the couple meeting at the beginning of the song are Brenda and Eddie, catching up after a number of years

[@SaeedReacts.]

That could definitely be the right interpretation. Thanks for sharing it.

[@Eowyn187]

"New York State of Mind" is what you need to hear next!! This one is so close to perfection.. but that one IS. All his stuff is exceptional. Fr. What a legacy.

[@terri2494]

The live version from The Old Grey Whistle Test (a British TV music show) is top tier. Real talent from real musicians. Great performance. 👍🏻🔥🔥🔥

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will check it out. Have a few others recorded, but all are blocked

[@chitownlee]

This and New York State of Mind are my two favorites.

[@wonderfullife7555]

You can’t go wrong with Billy Joel. He’s fantastic in concert. Thanks for the reaction.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Looking forward to more of his music. Thank you for watching.

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@SaeedReacts. Maybe try Big Man on Mulberry Street, being that you mentioned it during your review. They also used it for a dance scene by Bruce Willis in an episode of Moonlighting, so either that one or for a live performance, maybe search on here for the title: Billy Joel - Big Man on Mulberry Street (from A Matter of Trust - The Bridge to Russia) It is from 1987 when he did a few concerts in the old Soviet Union as the Cold War was coming to an end and I was at one of his concerts here in London, UK when he announced that he would be doing that and some in the audience booed.

[@KelliViti]

This is one that really needs to be seen live. Long Island 1982 is my personal fav. The whole band, & Billy. Took this song to new levels in that performance. They were on fire.

[@katrinaprescott5911]

He uses the different styles of music almost like one would change the scenery in a play. The "Italian restaurant" scene has appropriate music. The "reminiscing about high school" scene has music (with the tuba) that sounds like a boardwalk or carnival. The scene changes again for Brenda and Eddie, and that section ends with the swelling orchestra of a movie ending. Then back to similar music and the italian restaurant to complete the framing (with a nice solo to liven it ip).

[@bjw0515]

Billy does so many types of music in his catelog. The live version from Long Island and the one at Madison Square Garden is both great! Thanks for all your reactions, much appreciated

[@SaeedReacts.]

Must check that one out. Thanks for watching.

[@loveloochay]

❣️ Love this !! This song is such a journey on many levels. Billy really is a genius. Nice one Saeed. I am hoping you do "And So It Goes" by Billy Joel. Bravo 👏👏🔥👏👏

[@debbers]

Hey Saeed, I stayed friends with the father of my children, why be vindictive and hate on him, when my sons grew up they found out what kind of an a-hole he was all on their own, they thanked me many times for not dissing on him and letting them find on on their own! Why so many women try to turn their children against their father is beyond me, I think children deserve all the love they can get! FABULOUS reaction to this wonderful song! Thank you for listening to it!

A fantastic album and I’m sure someone mentioned to watch the live performance, it’s really great

[@seanscanlon9067]

I always saw it as an adult man and woman who as kids went to the same school as Brenda and Eddie, or at the very least knew them from their high school days and from when they all used to gather around or meet up at the village green.The man and woman might have been romantically linked themselves when they were younger or might just have been friends from a group of high school kids and years later in "our" Italian restaurant (which is why I think they might previously have been romantically linked) they get back in touch and are reminiscing about the old days and sharing any news that they know about others from their group, such as Brenda and Eddie. Billy himself has described it as being about the types of people who peaked early in life and in this example became the king and queen of the prom, but it is interesting that Saeed mentions Mulberry Street during his reaction, as Billy also has a song called Big Man on Mulberry Street too.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and interpretation. Much appreciated! Definitely makes a lot of sense. Must check out that song as well.

[@ruth2141]

I remember an interview where Billy said this was inspired by one of the Beatle's albums, where one side of the album blends several different songs. Billy took pieces of songs he was working on and turned them into a kind of medley.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

The Piano Man. ❤

[@christopheryochum3602]

I like how you decided to listen to the studio cut and concentrate on listening, without distration from a video.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks! Sometimes a video will give you an interpretation and i always like to try to come up with my own, even if i later find out it's wrong 😄

[@RicP351]

This is one of the first albums I bought with my own money. And, just to date myself, I bought it in 8 track tape.

[@LeslieRoth-rl7zr]

"Live from Long Island". is by far the best live version of this sond. He had been in a motorcycle accident and played with a broken thumb. If you liked this, try The Downeadter Alexa. His boat named after his oldest daughter. Live from Boston will floor you. For bangers "All for Leyna", "Big Shot" and You May Be Right". "She's got a way" from the album"Songs from the Attic cannot be beat for beauty, with the exception of "And so it goes". Billy is at his best live. He and the audience feed one another in the best way. During live shows he doesn't sing the chorus of Piano Man the final time. The audience sings to him. I finally saw him in 22 at Notre Dame. At 75, he rocked a 3 hr show. As a fan for 40 yrs, I assure you, this is a phenomenal rabbit hole to go down As a writer, you are in a unique position to really appreciate his genius. BTW.....Billy writes the 🎵 first, lyrics 2nd. Obviously I adore Billy. His music is literally (and corney sounding), the soundtrack of my life from 16 to 50+. Love your reactions. 🤗❤️

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing these recommendations. And for letting me know about his writing process. Very interesting!

[@TheodoreWeiser]

I heard Billy give an interview about this song. He says that he was inspired by the long medley on side two of Abbey Road where the Beatles stiched song fragments to create an almost symphony. Billy decided he wanted to give that a try and this is the result

[@ruth2141]

I think Billy left the meaning open, though the animated video you mentioned seems to show that it's Brenda and Eddie in the restaurant and that's the interpretation I've always liked.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I do like when meaning is left up to interpretation. Will check out the video.

Billy has said in interview, this song was inspired by the medley of songs on The Beatles "Abbey Road" - short songs put together.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for letting me know about that!

[@deborahvernarelli6394]

Hi, Saeed 😊. Everyone will interpret a song in the way that makes sense to them, and many times, the songwriter will leave it open to interpretation. My take was that he's sitting with an old friend, most likely female, from the past even though he is now married, take that part as you will. They thenbstart reminiscing about the " glory days" of being young and carefree and the dumb things they used to do, including getting married too young and learning things the hard way. By the end of the song, they realize they can't go back, only move forward, so it's back to life..back to reality..but they'll still meet up occasionally at the restaurant and stay in touch. Anyway, like I said, everyone will interpret it differently. Thank you for 6our interpretation of this great song. It does make you ponder. Much love to you and your family ❤️ 🫂.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and interpretation. I love hearing other perspectives. I love coming up with my own and ofcourse they might not end up being correct, but that's where the fun is for me 😀 Much love to you and your family 🫂❤️

[@80sOGRE]

I know officially Billy Joel didn't mean this but i still say it works really well with Brenda and Eddy being the restaurant couple, and the disconnect of starting in 1st person then singing about their own story in 3rd person is like an observation into just how much we change into someone else after love ends and the years race by. Suddenly the outro verse carries so much history. Anyhow.

[@dwhite849]

just a great love song

[@zimjun7]

"A triple entendre." I would never had thought of that one. Well...yeah...

[@billboyd9028]

It's a great song, but the video helps you follow through the story.... the tempo changes and what was happening becomes more clear when you see the story unfold ..... it's very much like the video for "Piano Man" where you see exactly what he's singing about and what the story is telling you... the official vid for this one answers all of the questions you asked... (Hint: there was a complete scene change at each tempo change)

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing that. Will watch the video!

Interesting! Must look that up. Thanks for watching

[@billboyd9028]

The reds and the whites are wines - in the official video you see them ordering and drinking their wine

[@MrSmartAlec]

Yes. If you notice at the beginning when he mentions wine it's red, white (no s). Later it's red and whites. At the time this song came out reds and whites were slang for barbiturates and amphetamines.

I'm thankful Billy Joel is a fellow Long Islander. It helps compensate for the embarrassment of Joey Buttafuoco, Lindsay Lohan's parents, Sean Hannity, the Amityville Horror, Bill O'Reilly, Geraldo Rivera and Bernie Madoff.
