[@zedlarae]

i'm so happy to have a professionally recorded version, this is my favorite cover of y'all's

[@Dippen89]

That trumpet solo was filthy in the best possible way!

[@RyderVanSleet]

You play?

[@vossenater4374]

SPOTIFY WHEN?????

[@ChrisLong.]

Will this come out on Spotify?! 🙏

[@dodoollllll]

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, Vienna waits for you? When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

[@rodscher9874]

Holy crap! I was not expecting that. So tight, such an imaginative arrangement! It was a thing of beauty.

[@dig1708]

Loving this Couchified arrangement. Such well crafted instrumentals and harmonies accented with tasty fills, cymbal work and even a Purdie shuffle. Y’all killed it!!

[@Enri_B]

F A N T A S T I C I !!! from Italy actually you're my favorite band ... i go crazy for you 🤯 and this is the song that introduced me to you 🥰🥰🥰

[@JBS]

I've been listening to this song since long before any of you were even a glimmer in your parents' eyes. This is the best cover of it I've ever heard. Congrats!

[@hammer7718]

that before a glimmer in you parents eyes are truly in Billy Joel's lyric style to me. ahah

[@NickTheSpontaneous]

truly a sick fucking sound you guys. well done :)

[@MikeForShort]

Consulted with my advisors and they have determined this is a banger

[@rebeccalenander8127]

This is so gaddamn amazing! Loads of love to you all for making this masterpiece

[@nicolebindi6452]

Hiii, this is realtà amazing, I love this song and wow . I’m doing a short film for school ( so it won’t be published anywhere) and I would request you if I can use this song obviously giving you all the rights and writing your name. Thank you very much 🥰

[@johnowen2880]

What a great re-imagining of this song! Love the groove! One of my favorite Billy Joel songs.

[@jeremyfagen]

2:22 one of the sexiest plunger trumpet licks i've ever heard, thank you jeffrey

[@c97f]

The headphone monitor setup being used by the trumpet and sax is stressing me out.

[@littlenewbs7295]

OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS INSANE 😭😭😭😭 IT'S SO GOOD

[@philstubblefield]

Thank you! 😁 We've seen several recordings of this song in concert, but this is the first with really clean audio! And Ella's BGVs blend *_so_* well! I loved you guys in Seattle, but I did miss the female harmonies! ☹ Please bring Ella along on the fall tour if you can afford it! (I'd offer to pay double for my ticket, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be enough to cover her tour expenses...)

[@jamisonmcgillivray72]

Who is the other singer?! 🤩👀 Add her to the band!

[@johnsocha3748]

Love it!!!

[@jerrymcdall]

Probably the best rendition of Vienna I've heard. Great work!

[@elasnore1523]

my favourite band covering my favourite billy joel song, holy shit this is good!!!

[@IanSmith_chipper412]

@Couch Can we get tabs or sheet music for the bass!?!?

[@martin-mmk3399]

Hi, I'll be writing it out soon. Tell me where i can send it to you

[@missusingle]

Don’t usually like busy, trilly “mariah carey” stuff, but *the end of this is perfect*! Mariah and christina aguilera made it into a mockery, but THIS woman shows how it’s supposed to be done. As a flower on a cake, not 100 lbs of buttercream icing.

[@notice9218]

Amazing! Y'all have been my favorite band lately, can't wait for more!

[@ANich004]

I NEEEEEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

[@marthamoo5889]

This song made my day. Music to my ears. Thank-you for putting this blessing upon me today :)

[@AfatterMan2]

the opening of this video kicks so much ass; the pianist killing it and then looking towards the other musicians with anticipation and love is such a perfect first 10 seconds or whatever of this stellar cover that spanks the original.....and it should go without saying, temas voice is sublime. im a construction worker in NH and im absolutely stoked for your show here this summer!

[@suhuhsgee]

are you ficking kidding me

[@suhuhsgee]

on headphones this sounds like they are inside my brain

[@suhuhsgee]

what a song and performance

[@suhuhsgee]

500 thumbs up. please cover every song ever made.

[@StevenEarney]

Great Billy Joel cover all of you!! Loved how do you put this all together and made it your own! I just posted my solo acoustic version of this song today, and saw your cover.... nicely done! Steve

[@CosmicCGA]

I called it!! Top 5 songs of all time covered by my favorite band. Couldn't be happier. I remember talking to Jeff about this in Atlanta, and I've been psyched ever since.

[@jennysantillan3951]

Oooooook this is by faaar my FAVORITE cover of allll time!! Yall are soooo amazingly TALENTED!! Those pipes on the lead!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽And that Trumpet solo 😍😍😍

[@DenysVark]

Sick vibes! Base is killing it! Kudos for giving much more energy to this song.

[@Lee-ym3ji]

I thought this might be the second song … can’t wait for conjunction junction

[@bestdefinition]

[@timveromusic875]

Everything Couch does makes me smile! So many awesome riffs and sublimeness as per usual.

[@stephenlondon3363]

WOW THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Just happened to see this on my KZbin listings and glad I decided to check it out and now I immediately subscribed to your channel-from the vocals to every bit of instrumentation, this was a top notch cover that totally stands on its own-been a Billy Joel fan since the beginning of his career and have seen him many times over the years and I think he would feel this version would make him proud-bravo and kudos to all!! 👩🏻👩🏼‍🦰🎼🎤🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁🎷🎺

[@ikkejick]

Good stuff, I discovered y'all last week. Love the vibes!

[@sarahaldila]

[@MrBilde]
