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
#BillyJoel #TheRiverofDreams #OfficialHDVideo

[@APR702]

You know when you randomly have your brain bring back a song from a long time ago ?? This one came to me in the middle of the night lol

[@shilohsanchez5580]

I wanted to walk at night and thought of this song!

[@joycemoss6205]

me too I am 80 I woke up at midnight so this came surging to my brain!!!

[@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.

[@codered3009]

Wow that’s an amazing image x

[@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.

I just watched an excerpt where Billy Joel was saying this song came to him one morning, and he didn't know why. He said he was never a religious man, but the song would not leave him. He recorded it, and here we are. Sometimes we are given blessings and don't know why.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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❤️

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.

[@kerstitekko2257]

Agreed

[@ibojacurcic9842]

So much true! You cannot have that feeling......just with any song.

This is the first song I recall hearing during my childhood. My dad would play it over and over in his truck on the cassette player. I always think of this song when I think about my Dad.

The old train trestle is in the Connecticut River. I remember the "Come on over sign " when we went to Deep River Connecticut to see my Gramma . I can see the Alagone Bridge in the corner. Grew up on the Connecticut River. Use to swim out to the sand bars....they are awesome. Be careful,some dangerous edds...

A testament to Billy Joel's greatness. I always find myself remembering the words to most of his songs while I sing along, even though my initial thoughts are "Oh yeah, I remember this one. Haven't heard it in years."

I hope people finally realize what a musical genius Billy Joel is. He could play every instrument on this trak. Do all the arrangement himself. And still look cool af in a pair of raybans.

[@FOZROE]

You say it like there are people that dispute this?

[@ilotitto]

Everybody looks cool in a pair of RayBans

[@jaydlytning]

Did he really? That would be interesting. It is impressive, but you don’t have to be a genius to play all the instruments on this track, you just need basic knowledge of them all. Now writing a hit song, that’s different!

[@edwardcvelbar2633]

[@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

Lana Schurz Gospel draws from many different styles, among them African tribal chants so it's not that bad a comparison to draw when you listen to the hormonising in particular. By the way I absolutely LOVE both styles. :)

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.

Billy Joel gave the greatest, most exciting performance I've ever seen. It was New Haven Coliseum around 1989. Then came this song, his greatest accomplishment ever. He's an awesome poet, this is one of greatest songs I've ever heard. Keep going Billy! Keep us going.

And he still gives his best! saw him last year in Austin when he came for F1 event. He is an amazing performer.

[@dawnboyer3190]

I had the pleasure of seeing him in 2021 in Cincinnati. He had such a way of talking and joking with the audience. A fair majority of the songs he took a poll on which between two songs we wanted to hear. I got to hear him play a majority of my faves, including this one. 💛
