I am 38, and I've loved music all my life. For some reason I am discovering Billy Joel now. It is the same wonderful and special feeling as when I discovered the Beatles, The Police, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Elton John, Stevie Wonder... Each new song I find is a gem of music, feellings and styles. It's a wonderful experience that doesn't happen many times in life and I didn't expect it to have at this age. Thank you Billy Joel.

I first knew of this from the Tom Hanks show Bosom Buddies. And even when it first came out, apparently it was a smash hit in the Philippines because the same year in the Philippines this Filipino movie was playing it in the background. I thought that’s pretty cool that this music was that so well received.

Her ego is such that she admits no wrong and expects her children to acquiesce to her always. I had fucking had it and have not spoken with her for over a decade. Do I miss her, not at all. Do I love her, not sure. However, I refused to live the remaining possible half of my life unhappy. All the best.

My life by Billy Joel made it to number 1 on 11/16/1978 in the nation and I was on my way to duty in the Philippines in the Navy at the Ship Repair Facility Subic Bay, the very best tour of duty I ever had when I was in the Navy. A few months later my late wife & I got married on April 5, 1979 and we stayed married up to March 6, 2010 when she passed away a month shy of being married 31 years. It was my theme song for years. My life by Billy Joel is my favorite Billy Joel song, my other favorite Billy Joel song is She's always a woman to me which was played a lot on radio stations in the Philippines in April & May of 1979.

This song is awsome. The lyrics is so contemporary and the piano is just a ton of fun. Everytime I hear this song after a long time I go on a binge and spend a week listening. This week a dude at work was humming it and it stuck in my head. This was wednesday. Today is sunday and I've listened to it more times than I remember. It's always like this.

[@Bikewithlove]

Lately those high piano key notes at the end of the song were coming up in my memory so here I am. Even though I never bought an album of his, I grew up with Billy Joel on morning radio in Philadelphia. Billy’s music was a huge part of my world growing up, and songs like this one and Allentown defined the mood of everything in my environment. The 90s was a total departure, and his presence waned, but he’s always going to be there. Captain Jack was another one that hit me at work the other day. I’ve got to tell you these are definitely young, restless songs about youth and the aversion to sacrifice without meaning, but I work a tough job now and I promise you it’s nothing like Billy’s songs if you’ve found your center and your life has yielded you some things. It doesn’t have to be a ‘dead end.’ That said, Billy’s songs serve more to me now, not as a cynical disdain for labor, but as a warning not to succumb to your narcissism - they’re more like examples of what happens when you lose the plot for a self-centered lack of imagination, which I’m happy to say is not caused by hard work and sacrifice, as long as you know what you’re serving.

Merci Monsieur billy JOEL pour toutes vos chansons qui ont bercé mon existence 🙏

[@silikon2]

30+ years since I’ve heard this and couldn’t agree more. We’re all going to the same place no matter what anyone says or does, so yeah.

[@masonwinchester8378]

My parents are being stressful right now, mainly my dad, but I couldn’t handle it and went outside to my car and turned the radio on. After just two songs this came on and I turned the volume up so loudly, it was like a sign from the universe that eventually everything would be fine ❤️ came here to listen again and comment ❤️ Have faith loves, things will get better I promise and never feel bad for taking time for yourself

[@lauryn8396]

Although not intended, this is one of the most emotional songs for me. I remember listening to this song on the way to visit my grandad in hospital not thinking much of it at the time. After he passed, I was having a really bad day missing him and as I was walking home put my music on shuffle and this was the first song that came on. When I actually stopped to listen to the lyrics, in particular the chorus, I started crying it was like my grandad was telling me he was okay where he was and he didn’t want to come ‘home’. It comforts me listening to it as I feel like it’s my grandad telling me that he’s okay and that he wants me to move on and live my life to the fullest.

Just brilliant! Does it get any better ? I think not !

[@valeriaarce1150]

Hay una canción parecida no? La misma tonada, si alguien sabe me lo hace saber por favor.

[@flamehunter-np2vk]

I don’t care what anyone says this is MY #1 Billy Joel song

[@deansimpala]

I’ve grown up my whole life listening to Billy Joel and as I got older I realized how much this song reminds me of my father

[@啓子-d1n]

本当にいい曲です。どうして今はこんな曲、出てこないんだろう。

[@fredlocc1181]

Born in 81. Bosom Buddies introduced me to Billy Joel at a very young age. 43 now and I still listen to Billy on the daily and so do my fuckn neighbors!!!! It’s still just rock n roll to me

[@tb_postman]

I went to his (probably the last) concert at Tokyo yesterday. This song was the opening song, and soon after he started playing the prelude, the audience got pumped up! It was one of the greatest night in my life and their lives who were there!! I’ll never forget the moment of the live forever.

[@myhusbandmylead520]

i never understood the power of these lyrics until my 40s! I FULLY GET IT!!!

[@bowchickabowwowthatswhatmy3219]

its crazy how everyone in the comments have entirely different reason why this song speaks to them - from toxic parents, shitty friends and relationships, to pursuing careers and lifestyles those around you disapprove of. it takes a great songwriter to be able to tie so many experiences together

[@kianknight729]

Yes ! Your’e right

[@jn2400]

This reminds me so much of my dad when he played this on his 8 track in the truck when I was a kid. Now I'm 45 and love this song so much.

[@Robert-jh8yo]

And I am taking back to those great times in bayridge😮 Brooklyn and a fine gal i shared good times with. Thanks for the memories Christine.

[@davidhubbert9445]

Billy Joel one of the very finest artist in music .

[@barbariansinbattle1687]

Such a great song. I'm glad I got to grow up in the time I did, to be able to discover all of these amazing songs on the radio and MTV. Growing up in the 80's was truly amazing.

[@b-r-i-a-n-s]

It was a great choice for the TV show 'Bosom Buddies' too, with Tom Hanks & Peter Scolari.

[@jamesharvley1164]

What a wonderful tune, caught him in concert in Greenville!

[@reynaldojerusalem790]

During the 80's, I had this Walkman and cassette tapes of Billy Joel, so it becomes one of my favorite singer along with Elton John, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and Spandau Ballet. 80's is the era of great music and until now it became a classic.

[@quinquiln14]

How good was the old days

[@christopherfletcher5384]

Did anyone's Walkman ever eat their tape?

[@reynaldojerusalem790]

@@christopherfletcher5384 , IT ALSO HAPPENED TO ME A LOT OF TIMES WHERE YOU HAD TO USE A PEN OR PENCIL TO MAKE THE TAPE USABLE AGAIN!

[@GabePickles3837]

I’m so glad I finally found this song. I love that piano.

[@CliffMcAulay]

Billy never lets me down. He delivers a wonderfully crafted song which always lifts the spirit. Worked today, will work tomorrow... Thanks for the music Bill.

[@voiwoden1]

I remember OF this song as a kid listening on the radio. Now i am still enjoying listening at 53. Billy gave us a lot o great songs. What a great musician.

[@cindyski4413]

Thanks for my uncle to love music and played this when I was a kid! I can see myself at that moment I first heard it! I was jumping around enjoying it. Hanging out with my freshly out of the Army uncle. He hadn’t married yet! Not a miserable man back then. Bought his new camaro and dating his first wife. I remember they taking me to the park and being on the swings! I’m glad my aunts and uncle letting me Tagalog on their dates.

[@debipaulin4623]

These words always relevant......wish I could have said these words to those controlling ex family members when I was young......be strong y'all.......well done Billy Joel!!!! Bless❤

I’ve been to dozens of concerts in my life. I’ve seen DMB 15 or more times, which incidentally is not much considering some people see DMB 15 times a tour. However, when i see Billy Joel, it takes a month or longer to get his music out of my head. I saw him a week ago on 4/23/22 in CLT and he was amazing. I had his LPs and 8 tracks (and cassettes) when I was a kid.

[@nancycarr7130]

Saw him perform at the Forum in 1979 OMG it was a so Awesome. He was Great them and Still Is. Im going on 66yrs young im still Rock'n to this one👍🎶🎶🎶

[@cosmos.888]

懐かしいですね〜！　いいですね〜！

[@1962drob]

Happy Birthday Billy Joel.

[@1985OldSkool]

This made it all the way to #3 during the Christmas & New Year's season of 1978 & '79.

[@christines6040]

One of the best songs and message ever

[@JacobDean88]

Since people like to share memories... Mine is this song on vinyl. My dad had a very huge vinyl collection. And then it became the Bossum Buddies theme!

[@personanon-grata5083]

There are certain entertainers who touch us, depicting our lives perfectly. Why did you captivate me Billy?
