Lyrics:
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

I'm not a religious person at all, but this truly has a numinous beauty to it. A superb modern gospel.

My son was born in 1993. This was playing in the operating room when he came into the world...❤️🙏🏻

Awwww That is so sweet!

[@pommiebears]

How lovely. My son came into the world with me threatening my husband and calling him....names. Lol. 🌹

[@stevenbradley6572]

In case you don't know, this is about his journey after he lost his son. This is why he speaks searching for something that can only be seen by the eyes of the blind, his spirituality, life after this and the river to the promised land. Let this be near and dear to your heart as well as a reminder of how short life can be. Best wishes to you and your son!

played overhead at our local CVS , and still remember all the words.

[@JamesLaster_NW]

I remember waking up to this song one morning in the early 90's. I woke up just a few moments before 6am when the radio alarm clicked on and started playing this song. The best way I can describe it is that it felt like God had created that morning just for me. I'll don't think I'll ever forget that morning.

[@iamthewerebear4837]

This is creepy. When I was very small, probably around 4, I woke up very early, walked out of my room and into the living room. It was dark. This music video was playing on the television and I have never forgotten that moment. I don't even know why it was so moving and impactful, but it was. It's been on my playlists since I have been able to download music.

[@PhotoMeLarry]

I come back and watch this video every year on my father's birthday. He was the preacher :) So glad this exists.

[@deldridg]

What a lovely story and thanks. He looks like a lovely man. Was/is he still a preacher? Cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave

[@PhotoMeLarry]

@@deldridg That's probably my favorite part of the story. They were coordinating with him to find the church and church people to use. When they asked him "well now do you know a preacher who can play the role?" he replied. "No, but I'll be there in 5 minutes". Dad was not a preacher, but he was a holy man. Thank you for asking :) My father passed away a few years ago.

[@TheChaney]

A guy from Africa went to my college, he was ultra-brilliant, spoke like 8 languages, english was his Fifth or Sixth - but he would walk around just singing this to himself pretty much all day like it was no big deal. Spring Sing talent show rolls around and he gets on stage and sings it, halfway through the colleges vocal choir joined in with him. Good stuff.

I'm 67....been suffering from Depression all my life. Been searching for that elusive...what only the blind can see, in the middle of the night, ....all my life. And yes, I went through all the deep valleys....deeper than I like to remember....and still....I am looking for what? A little happiness perhaps? I my mind....I never found it...still searching.....that's why I love this song! Cheers

[@livetillyoudielovelife2299]

One of the horrible things about depression is we seem to be doomed to look for what we already have

[@norbertschmitz3358]

@@livetillyoudielovelife2299 You are absolutely right! We just can't feel or see real happiness, not all the love in the world can change that. Hence, we are condemned to search for that elusive happiness, which we will never find! That's why this song touched my soul. Searching for something.....I'll be listening to that song right now....😉😊😊 Cheers, and may you find what I'm still looking for.

[@livetillyoudielovelife2299]

Over the years depression can become a safe place to hide, a devil we know compared to a life outside depression that is filled with unknowns. Depression is a true monster that fills us with fear to keep us under its control.

[@annieoddo1475]

I’m sorry for your loss. My dad passed two years + four months ago. He was a musician, so… the music at the funeral had to be just right. It was one of the last things we could do for him. A couple of his oldest friends in the music business played at the funeral which honestly blew me away. I’m not sure I would have been able to do that! But we were so grateful and it was exactly what he would have wanted. You might still want to cry years down the road when you hear this song - that’s sort of how it’s gone for me. But ultimately it’s for a good reason. Music is medicine for the soul❤️

[@stonestone1000]

Thank you Billy Joel, When I played this to my partner of 17 years Jeff, who had a stroke at 73, he suddenly remembered the words and started nodding his head to the beat - it was so...... moving....... thank you for this beautiful song. Natalie.

[@edwinabeat]

My grandmother died three weeks ago and I chose to play this at her funeral because she used to dance with my brother and cousins and I to this song. I asked permission to organise her funeral because she was my best friend, confidant, and I simply just adored her. She loved this song. As the only Granddaughter, I felt it was my duty to organise a celebration of her life. I couldn't cope with my dad and his brother trying to organise a ceremony for her by themselves and didn't want them to choose the outfit she wore in her coffin. I chose a watermelon pink dress I knew she'd adore. She looked so beautiful and at peace. I spoke a eulogy and then my Dad did then I chose this song to pause and reflect on her views. I cried my eyes out because I knew she would like an upbeat song at her celebration. My Dad held my hand and told me I had made the most beautiful celebration of his mother's life he could ever imagine. There are a lot of reasons why I chose this song, and maybe some family members didn't love it, but it was true to her spirit. I hope she loved it. Thank you, Billy.

[@sanfranciscobay]

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross Even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore I try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is that I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep I know I'm searching for something Something so undefined That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind In the middle of the night I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river That runs to the promised land In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the desert of truth To the river so deep We all end in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams In the middle of the night

I shared a room with my brother growing up. I've asked him, and he denied owning it, but when I was 7 ir 8 I remember digging through our closet and found a blank tape with two songs on it. This was on one side and GnR's Sweet Child O Mine on the other. Since then, to this day, my favorite band has always been Guns N' Roses and I've always had unapologetic respect for Billy Joel. Whenever Elton John comes on the radio or somebody mentions him, my first response is always on the line of, "I like Billy Joel better." Lol.

One of Billy Joel's greatest hits, inspiration for all during a bizarre time...

Although the video looks like it was filmed in the south it was actually shot on the Connecticut River. The bridge is the Providence & Worcester railroad bridge in Middletown Ct. Billy Joel was very familiar with the area & chose the locations himself. That's him shown in the little outboard on the river.

[@jamestierney2531]

I’ve been a fan of Billy Joel for years, but seeing this video was a reminder of how unfair life is. Specifically, it is not fair that a single individual should be endowed with such remarkable songwriting and musical performance talents. He has produced so much great music that it’s sometimes hard to keep track of it all. Seeing this video reminded me of his creative use of a “gospel-like” backing choir in this terrific song. My thanks to whoever posted the video…and all good wishes to Billy. He is in the Pantheon with great American songwriters like Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin. He is a national treasure.

[@garyschultz883]

Mr.Joel has TALENT.... i agree with you 💯%

[@jimmehlich6093]

I agree

[@topspotstables]

If you have this much appreciation for this talented man…. You need to look up his newest song “turn the lights back on”… and get your Kleenex 🥹

[@djbis]

I remember hearing this as a kid, maybe 11 years old then, (it played on the radio in Costa Rica) and being so captivated by the sounds and the soul within it, starting with the percussion track. Only thing was, I could not understand a lick of English then! Fast Forward 10 years and I was in the US, when I heard it by chance on the radio again, I was now able to understand most of the song. Making sense of its lyrics I was able to understand what it said and why it was so touching to me. It felt as if somehow I already knew what it meant, musically speaking. But the lyrics only added more depth to the great emotion and soul of this great song. It always gets me right in the heart.

great story!

[@JayAyers]

I was about 8 or 9 when I heard this song back in the 90s. I had no idea what he was singing about and I speak English. As an adult I understand. It's one of those songs where experience opens up a huge part of its meaning. Love your story. I never knew the song reached out that far.

Ову песму сам први пут чуо око "93.или "94.године,на радију,и одмах ми се ЈАКО СВИДЕЛА ! После неког времена се баш овај спот појавио на телевизији. И,песма ми се још више допала - с обзиром да у споту има и кадрова с возом,а и на железничком мосту певају уз клавирску пратњу. А,ја сам велики заљубљеник у железницу! Спот сам одгледао заједно са мојим оцем. Обојица смо уживали у песми,као и у амбијенту спота! Мене лично,мост у споту,као и околина моста,подсећа на један - мени омиљен - део у Србији. Овчар Бања и њена околина. Кроз Овчар Бању протиче река Западна Морава. Преко Западне Мораве има један мост,који је конструктивно сличан мосту у споту. На жалост,тај мост у Овчар Бањи се више не користи,сав је оронуо,и веома тужно изгледа. Преко њега је некад ишла пруга узаног колосека (760 mm), а последњи воз преко тог моста је прешао пре око 45 - 50 година. Од тада мост тако стоји,препуштен "зубу времена." Пар дана после гледања спота на телевизији,ова песма се појавила на радију. Пошто драге песме волим да слушам врло гласно,да се не би цела улица орила,користим слушалице,и "комирам се музиком!" У једном тренутку,у собу улази мој отац,и чувши ову песму са мојих слушалица из далека,само ме је приупитао: "Да ли су то они црнци на мосту?" То питање ми је било веома симпатично!!! Мој отац је умро 1998. Тада сам себи обећао,да ћу првом приликом када будем пролазио кроз Овчар Бању,застати код тог ислуженог моста,и врло гласно пустити баш ову песму !!! Коју годину касније,тако је и било. Са тадашњом девојком,садашњом супругом,пролазио сам кроз Овчар Бању,застао код тог старог оронулог моста,отворио сва врата на ауту,и врло гласно пустио ову песму,и рекао "тата,ово је за твоју душу." Попио сам и једну ракију за спокој душе,и очи су ми засузиле! Од тада,кад год пролазим кроз Овчар Бању,обавезно пустим ову песму,а поред тог моста успорено пролазим! Поздрав од једног Србина Србенде из Новог Сада !!!

July 2023 Best BJ song ever, and there are too many to list. It tells of acceptance of one’s human limitations and frailty, yet is deeply life-affirming. A song that acknowledges occasional fearfulness but leaves one with HOPE will remain forever a classic.

River of dreams lyrics Enjoy! In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross Even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore I try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is that I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep I know I'm searching for something Something so undefined That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind In the middle of the night I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river That runs to the promised land In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the desert of truth To the river so deep We all end in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams In the middle of the night
