Lyrics:
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

Vienna Billy Joel Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart Tell me why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire? What's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day Ayy But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you're doing fine You can't be everything you wanna be before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight Tonight Too bad, but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong You know, you can't always see when you're right You're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize Vienna waits for you? You know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?

as a person who struggles with anxiety, this song is a godsend to me.

[@cleigh8753]

I too struggle with severe anxiety disorder, living on the edge of a non stop panic attack is no fun. People dont realize how serious and debilitating it is. Everything snowballs, then you become unable to deal with, cope or focus in the smallest ways.

[@Stephanie-ml5eo]

C Leigh ah i am so sorry! i have never been diagnosed, but i try my best to cope with what i feel. therapy and good friends have been a godsend for me. i do agree with you that most people do not understand how hard it is

[@cleigh8753]

@@Stephanie-ml5eo Mine started 4 months before I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago. My anxiety and inner non stop shaking, migraines,eye pain along with some fine motor skills glitches in hands then tripping over words lead to Dr then Neurologist. These symptoms began and were triggered by a huge emotional/psychological trauma of the sick betrayal of my husband being involved and engaging in hard core internet porn. It eventually destroyed me and our marriage after 32 years, to find out 6-7 years later after the first big blow, he hadnt stopped, but was only deeper and more involved. Paid sex solicitation and video porn memberships, sex and porn profiles of himself,.. I discovered a porn video he made of himself. He conned others, friends and family that he was squeaky clean and he was no longer doing it. I had a 3 year legal battle, which only took a huge toll on me mentally and physically. No one wanted to believe he or it was that bad. I had to be over reacting, he just "wasnt that kind of guy" Here's the kicker, 2 months after I was diagnosed, and needed him the most for support, he did a huge career change within the same company, went from working on the Union side for 23 years to taking a job as company management into Human Resources. Which that was what he became obsessed with and for his whole life. He threw away vacation time he always took, worked much longer hours to be a company suck up and had no time or availability for me being newly diagnosed with MS or family. The big IRONY, is now the porn whore is a top Senior HR Manager, for this large company. He is now remarried, and is still in full swing of his sick addiction also is into "cash services" All of this is going on right under the new little woman's nose, she is clueless about his spending because they dont share any banking or credit card accounts,..( its her 4th marriage and she finally landed her cash cow) During our whole marriage I managed all of finances for absolutely everything and we had all shared accounts, in both of our names, When I separated from him a year before, to shake a turd out of him, wake him up, that he was destroying our marriage and loosing me,.. It hit him finally about a month later that he HAD lost his wife, that he needed to get help and make changes, he needed to earn my love and trust back. But it was short lived and all a show and a facade, and the "New him" lasted about 4 months, Then came the betrayal of him tangling up with another woman who thought "he was single" that blinded sided me since we were supposedly working on out marriage, she discovered that I was still very much in the picture and confronted him, of Why is you wife still here?" He threw it in my face about her, and that she saw him for "the wonderful person he was", ,.. sadly I reached a breaking point,.. couldnt take any more betrayals deciet and lies,..became suicidal. I had family abandoned me, friends were not there, it was like I had the plague,.. I was deemed the broken one and he was still the good guy, ( but they didnt know or care to know what all it entailed) less than a year later the legal process had to start, to end it with him,.. It was discovering how more in-depth his addiction and engagement was, was finding charges on a credit card I gave him to use separate from the one I used (both names were on his card as users) thats when some masked charges appeared, when questioned of course he lied, I started doing some serious digging into all of it, and unraveled everything that brought it to me ultimately calling him out and confronting him, saying,.. He was a sick bastard, more than I ever could imagine,.. He then started calling me every name in the book, UNTIL I called him by his PORN USER NAME. Oh he shut up, FAST, backtracked, saying "Hun, can we talk about this?" I said hell NO! WE ARE DONE. But my life has never been the same, friends who should have been there for me werent and even had betrayals by them. I have had to take him back to court 2 times in last 7 years, which was debilitating. And NOW just 4 months ago, on Mar. 20th, 2020,.. I was in a serious car accident, a guy speeding, running a red light, T-boned me totaling my car, my body and a mess. I was in the hospital on trauma floor for 10 days then a rehab/ nursing facility for another 11. I suffered cervical fracture, a severe concussion syndrome, migraines, nausea, injuries to my ribs, (more injury to an already degenerative bad hip) and a meniscus tear in knee. I wear a cervical collar most of the day, and am on a walker, I cant take more than a couple (painful) steps on my own. I live alone and dont have family or outside help let alone any real human contact, other than when delivery people from restaurants that show up. I am so stranded, I now have no car (it was totaled, had to hire an attorney to deal with insurance companies) so I have been a stress mess. I have a long road ahead of recovery, or if i will recover fully which is highly doubtful being 64. The isolation has been terrible, my first steps out of the house in 4 months was going to hospital for xrays and neurosurgeon appt. I come to You Yube to escape and watch music video that I lpve and enjoy... Im sorry, I have rattled on and vented so much,.. I didnt mean to,.. I guess I needed to though. Im glad Stephanie you have good support, because as from the experiences of not having any of that,.. It is HELL!. You take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you!

So I decided to light up a cigarette (I know, i must stop), and watch the sunset. Then I remembered, out of nowhere, this song that my dad used to listen during my childhood roadtrips. God. I feel like brand new. The lyrics touched my hearth like the boost I needed to keep on going, like I always did.

It's ok to feel that way, my advice would be don't take rushed decisions, you are pretty young and maybe you see a lot of people aroud you that already knows what they want, but it´s different for everybody; hey maybe there are others just like you but they are to afraid to show it ,but in the inside they are really lost, some of them would feel the way you feel now latter. Just berathe, take your time, and if pople keep asking say the true but in way that tells people it's not because you don't care but rather because you know how importat this decision is, maybe you found someone that feels or felt the same way and can talk about that

[@SneakECoyote]

It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two. When will you realize? Vienna waits for you. Don't worry about rushing stuff. Enjoy the journey and your life will go just fine. Don't live by anybody else's metrics of what you should be doing or should've done. You've got this.

Lyrics: Slow down you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart tell me, Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm) Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out You got so much to do and only So many hours in a day (Ay) But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want Or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh) When will you realize... Vienna waits for you? Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight) Too bad, but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right) You got your passion, you got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh) When will you realize... Vienna waits for you? Slow down you crazy child Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh) When will you realize... Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh) Why don't you realize...

I was such a try hard growing up. Always going above and beyond every day to become everything my dad wanted me to be. My plan was always to go straight to Uni right after high school like he always wanted, but it wasn’t until I was a Senior that I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do once I got there. So I took a gap year. One of the hardest years of my life, mentally. It was the first time ever that I just stopped and I constantly felt like I was stuck, watching everyone around me live the life I was suppose to be living. It’s been hard, but now as my gap year is coming to an end I’ve realized that this year was a blessing in disguise. I’ve never slowed down, I never realized how burnt out I was until I no longer was. I would’ve never realized how fast I was going if I hadn’t stopped. This song just makes me believe everything works out in the end.

[@julia4551]

i'm 17 years old and this song comforts me SO MUCH, the pandemic came and my adolescence passed in the blink of an eye and this year I'll be 18. i was so sure about life at 15 and now it's all an uncertainty after the pandemic (which we're still). The pressure of being 18 torments me every single day, the pressure of being an adult and acting like one..i don't know if I'm going to live an unhappy life in a job I don't like with superficial loves and bad friendships or a life totally the opposite of that. I hate feeling like an adult at just 17 (18 in a few months)… i'm scared, very scared to have grown up so fast, I just want to be held by my parents again, sleep on the couch and wake up in bed... growing up sucks and to make it worse I'm in this process totally lonely :( edit: i want to thank everyone who took the time to write me these beautiful and sincere words, i'm reading everything and keeping it in my heart... 💗 i really appreciate your story. and for those who are asking, my birthday is already on the 18th of august, i'm sad to arrive so fast but even more because i have little time left of ABBA's dancing queen hahaha idk many cool songs about eighteen so i accept suggestions

Hell just the other day I went to the trampoline park and went ham. Everyone was looking at me and my girl like we were crazy because we’re the only 2 adults jumping.

Ah, it seems all of the gifted kid burnouts are having a meeting Edit: I keep getting notifications for likes on this comment. I originally wrote this almost 4 years ago when I was at the lowest point in my depression. I had no friends, was failing classes, and generally felt like an absolute failure. For anyone actually reading, as corny as it is, things do get better. Burnout can be reversed and you will find things you love to live for. My original comment was a (lowkey unfunny) joke about how helpless I felt in my inability to grasp onto the greatness I promised myself as a child. But a low point does not equate to an end point. I picked myself back up and I'm working towards my goals even when it gets hard. There will always be difficulties and sometimes I still feel like giving up on everything and retreating to the comfort of my self-destructive thoughts but as the years go by the urge decreases. Being a "gifted kid" doesn't mean you automatically become a failure as an adult. And I truly hope anyone who took the time to read this will take the time to take care of themselves to heal any wounds and become who they have always had the capability to be. Don't be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Reading Billy's autobiography, he explains who he wrote this song about and I was shocked a bit. He wrote it for his father who left his mother and went back to live in....Vienna.....after they had come here to get out of Europe years ago. He did visit his father in Vienna although they didn't really reconcile. He resented his father leaving his mother especially going back to a place that held bad memories for his ancestors. The song is so beautiful, and I used to tell my daughter it reminded me of her since she was always burning the candle at both ends....always doing, doing, doing. So much to do and only so many hours in a day.

My 19 yr old kid came to visit me from OH, I am an old metal head but I like real and tanto music, my surprise was when we were on a triple and he told me "hey dado listen to this " Ivrealize in that moment he is a young man with a nice taste of music. ❤

I heard this song for the first time, as it turns out, while sojourning in Vienna. I was super stressed out by the social politics between myself and a Viennese friend’s clique, and this song helped put everything in perspective. It’s informed my outlook ever since, and I’m all the better for it.

Obra maestra, la calidad de las baladas de Billy son de lo mejor, el piano me encanta y ese toque blues del final es simplemente genial!

Lyrics Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, well, tell me Why are you still so afraid? Mm Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've got so much to do And only so many hours in a day But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you're doin' fine You can't be everything you wanna be before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline Tonight, tonight Too bad, but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right You've got your passion, you've got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? Slow down, you crazy child And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh When will you realize Vienna waits for you? And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you? When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

My 17-year-old granddaughter's fav. Thanks, Billy, for all the years of wonderful music

[@stevenk9094]

I'm 66 and just learned of this song. I wish I'd heard it when it was originally issued. It's written about people like me I don't even remember anything about the 1980's or 1990's because I work obsessed me. Can't go back to do it over again but I hope kids today comprehend the significance of the message. They'll live a happier life.

[@sheakillinit]

This song saved my life. I was going through a really hard time and I was so close to ending it all over the dumbest thing, but I turned this song on and it helped me so much. Whenever i'm upset, I listen to it. It makes me feel calm. happy. I wish I could thank Billy personally for making such wonderful music that people can actually relate to. If I ever get the chance, it would be the best day of my life. I'm only 17 years old and he's the only person I really want to meet, just so I could tell him how much of an impact he had on me. This song stopped me from cutting it short. Ah I love it so much

[@sheakillinit]

good luck. no use in bein sad honey. life's too short to waste it by being upset. happiness is your own mindset.

Billy’s a bloody legend ay. Love his music 👊😎

[@odairbonfim]

Is it just me or do Billy Joel's songs make people feel better? Even that very depressing piece, Tomorrow is Today, can cheer up anyone. Amazing, to say the least.

[@nathanknight2472]

I knew this song before I had discovered it. If that makes any sense... the kinda song you hear when you’re younger and fades away with time, But then you’re reintroduced years later. And now realizing what the words actually are. I needed this.

[@JavieraCS_99]

i have the exact same feeling, i don't really know if i heard this song before, it just feels like that

[@blakedml7456]

@@JavieraCS_99 You probably heard it from 13 going on 30 this song played in the movie.
