Hi Everybody I’m going to see him for the first time in 2 days. I’ve had his albums since the 70’s. Maybe my only chance to see him. I would totally love to hear them both, but Vienna is my all time favorite of his. Very envious of your 4 times seeing him. I can imagine your situation as well. He’s just too good at them all!

Billy Joel’s Vienna was, and remains, one of my personal anthem songs. Highly underrated, its exclusion from his Greatest Hits albums was near betrayal. Adopt this song, folks, because it’s all about lyrics, soul, and story…

Slow down, you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart, then tell me Why are you still so afraid? 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 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 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'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 awhile It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two 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 half through Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
