Lyrics:
You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright, it's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from you accidents
Than anything you could ever learn at school
#BillyJoel #YoureOnlyHuman #SecondWind

[@juistthebookworm8646]

Joel, who had once attempted suicide himself, stated in a 1985 interview, that he wrote the song as a way to help young people struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide. In his original draft, he was concerned that the song sounded too depressing so he re-wrote it with a bouncy, joyous beat and melody with lyrics that stressed personal forgiveness and optimism about life. Joel donated all the royalties from the song to the National Committee for Youth Suicide Prevention.

Early October 1985, I was a college freshman having a nervous breakdown, extremely depressed and suicidal. I was standing on a bridge high above the Mississippi River one afternoon, staring at the water, and waiting for people to be far enough away to stop me from jumping. I had my knock-off Walkman on, playing a local radio station, and at that instant and Your Only Human/Second Wind came on, playing into my ears over my headphones. I immediately, focused on the music the words Billy was singing about not giving up on life. I listened to the entire song and I didn't jump. Today, I'm 57 years old, Billy's music has carried me though my entire life. His music is the soundtrack of my soul. Thank you, Billy, for the new songs, thank you for the old songs. Thank you for sharing immense talent with us. And thank you for saving me

In '85, Billy released this; Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II!, his most accomplished album. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "You're only human". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about self forgiveness and the fact that you matter. It's also a personal statement from Billy Joel himself. - Patrick Bateman.

I was out of work for a month and really depressed. I was driving from one interview to another and reduced to eating peanut butter sandwiches every day. This particular day I was really depressed and feeling like giving up. As I was driving this song came on. The words hit home and perked me up for my next interview. A couple of days later I landed a job. I credit Billy Joel with turning me around at the lowest moment of my life thus far. There have been other setbacks in my life since. I go back and play this song for strength.

It’s also really funny that Billy Joel is helping this boy understand the meaning of life again. It’s like he’s a representation of Billy Butcher showing Hughe that everything can change. And Starlight also shows him that there is honesty and trust in the world which saves his happiness and hope. They both do, and it’s truly amazing.

1985, I was 23. I narrowly missed committing suicide. I wore out my 2ndW tape. Listened to it, rewind, repeat, again, and again, and again.it was pivotal, timely, and important to my continuing. Throughout the years, whenever I find myself in deep depression not wanting to face life, I again listen repeatedly. My now 17 yo son is struggling. I introduced him to this amazing gift. We listen on repeat. Thank you

My middle school years were rough and every day I wished I was dead. One day, for some reason, I started listening to my parents' Billy Joel CDs. I knew some of the songs and so I listened to the rest. This song came on and I was instantly hooked. Somehow it made me feel just a little bit better. It was years until I learned the story behind the song. Wow. That was quite a moment. The video makes it pretty clear, and had to be pushing the boundaries back then. Maybe this song saved my life. This will always be my favorite song.

[@saraphinn]

Don't forget your second wind.This scene with the family is so devastating.

billy joel songs are such a comfort to me. this song in particular is so incredibly special. i've struggled with severe depression and suicidal thoughts for the last 7 years. i've attempted 4 times, been in and out of mental hospitals. i discovered this song in a very depressive episode in my life. i was dealing with my abusive mother, i had just lost all of my friends, and i felt so alone and like if i was gone it wouldn't really mean anything to anyone. i had planned that night to take a bunch of sleeping pills, but then i came across this song. i watched this music video over and over again, it made me feel so seen. it was exactly what i needed to hear at that point in time. i became obsessed with billy joel, buying albums, listening to his songs 24/7. he's an artist that holds such a special place in my heart. i wish i could thank him, i wish i could tell him how much his music has saved me, and how it comforted me in times when i needed it. i'm still struggling, but at least i know if nobody's got me, billy joel's got me.

When Billy Joel was younger he drank furniture polish to try to Commit Suicide himself but then his friend found him on the floor and took him to the hospital before it kicked him which saved Billy's life the hospital he wrote this song to teach teens/People that suicide is never the answer.

From my understanding, there was also a bottle of bleach next to the furniture polish, but Billy chose the polish because he though the bleach would have tasted bad.
