- Hello hello hello!! I hope you enjoyed that little cover of one of my all-time favorite songs :) Billy Joel is one of my favorite artists and his music just makes me so happy whenever I listen to it. This song is especially moving because it speaks to me on a personal level -- I always seem to find myself stressed out or anxious when I think about things in the future, and this song has always reminded me to slow down, tune out for a while, and just enjoy the now. (Wow that was the most cliche thing I've ever written ahah)
As I said, I left for college the day after this video was filmed & I thought it only fitting to sing the one song that could give me peace before going through such a huge change in my life. I hope it made your day a little better and I'll see you next time!

Just admitt it guys, this is not your first time here.
Hard to believe I've gotten this far in life without knowing this beautifully moving song. I heard it this week on "The Voice" auditions. Your version is so lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!! It's such a beautiful song :)
Bjorn Hanson Me too! Same exact thing happened to me! I am so moved by this beautiful song and phoebe you did an amazing rendition!
s
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cries when I sing. Beautiful job
wooow, you almost make me cry too, i love your passion in this song ! congrats!
This just ruined my whole night in the most beautiful way. I'm giving the two year younger you the biggest hug right now. :)
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 can just 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 could 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?
There's always atleast 1 guy that puts all the lyrics in the comments
@@wess__art8040 and i love that
'you can get what you want
Or you could just get old'. Keep up the good work
@@paulamayy done :) corrected
Thank u
Imagine being down and sad, in a cold dark room, and this familiar voice comes and speaks to you as if he's been there and been through that himself, that's Billy Joel! He speaks to you through his songs assuring you somehow everything's gonna be fine... ❤️
wow really brought tears to my eyes this song is so emotional and you sang it beautifuly
thank you so much
Wow. Seven years after you first posted this song I'm finding it. As a data point, last night February 4th 2024, Billy performed Turn the Lights Back On at the Grammys. I'm 68 - a piano player - huge Billy fan - and the raw emotion you showed on this video compelled me to respond. Obviously you must be well out of college now and I hope you're still performing (I'll subscribe to your channel after this comment, but your performance dictates responding), as I get ready to launch a solo performing gig of Billy's material. I saw Billy for the 1st time in 1977 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in NY and have seen him dozens of times since. He is the cornerstone influence of my piano work since I was 18. You have a gift and I sincerely hope you currently have the opportunity to move that gift forward. Such a great rendition of Vienna. Best wishes and PEACE to you.
As a Father of a 14 yr.old girl,I try to get her to listen to music I listened to.We Love this song.You did amazing rendition. Plus she loves the movie 13 going on 30 where this song fits perfectly.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed my version :) My dad does the same thing - he puts old records, like Face Value by Phil Collins or Hemispheres by Rush, on the record player. It's so fun to listen to them!
This song is absolutely beautiful, and well done. Please don't stop singing...ever! Music is something that connects us to some of our most amazing and precious memories. I don't care if you end up only ever singing in the shower, please don't stop. You have a beautiful talent, and I wish you the best! Please don't loose your love for music.
Thank you so much!! This was so nice of you to write
I actually live in vienna, and this song is super beautiful :)
Do you really?? That's awesome! I love this song too :)
You found the secret to pulling the greatest performance out of your vocals. Passion and emotion is where it's at. Don't stop singing, ever.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who cries to this one. 😍 It just hits me as soon as the first few notes are played, every time. 😭 I get it. And it’s not even fair to say it makes me sad, it’s just a heavy vibe, but also reassuring, just a wave of pure emotion...❤️🌻...comes out as tears, but I think that’s because my body literally does not know how else to respond. I’ll play it loud on a sunny day with the windows down and the song just surrounds me. I’m typically not a fan of this song when covered, but you did amazing.🙏 I felt it. I know those tears where right at the bottom of your throat the whole time. I’ve been there. Much love. ❤️
i saw this video for the first time my sophomore year of high school when i was in a really rough place and scared of the future. now i’m a freshman in college and i come back to this often and think about it, i really hope you’re doing everything you wanted in life after college :) this is so beautiful and comforting
The end literally made me break down in tears. You have such a talent; thank you so much for sharing.
Hey, Phoebe. It's been a while since the last time something brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for such a beautiful rendition of this song. I could really see the passion you put into it.
This brought me tears. It’s one of the best songs ever made and the fact that everyone plays it in such a personal way makes it even more beautiful. You’re such a special artist💕🌷
I loved your version!!! Vienna it's my all time Billy Joel Favorite song too (and I really love his music!) Thanks for sharing your feelings in your interpretation!!
I’ve listened to quite a few covers of this song and I have to say you are by far the best. Not only do you sing it but you play it in the piano. You are super talented! I loved this!
I had a friend who performed this song at an event a year or two ago and this video honestly filled me with memories. It sounds so much like her and the singing voice in this video is incredible.
I honestly hope that even 7 years later this person hasnt quit singing because they have so much talent that they just ratatouillled my ass.
I've just got stuck here. I'm completely in love with this version, this voice and everything else. It's just flawless.
I’m going to start law school soon. After years of achieving, chasing, working. Your note about starting college stuck with me. I came back to this video because I remembered you saying that when I first saw your cover a few years ago. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. A perfect song for slowing down and anticipating. Thank you again, I love your cover.
Damn. wiping away a tear at the Starbucks. Thanks for that. Seriously, that's the best version, sans Mr Joel's, I've seen on here. Your vocal style really complements Joel's lyrics. I'm subscribed and I'll be waiting for a higher quality recording. Keep yo the good work!
Wow!! Thank you so much :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
sans means without, not except.
Omggg the beginning was adorable THIS MADE ME CRY
the emotion you showed is honestly inspiring, thanks for this
This song also makes me cry, makes me think about every sorts of things... Thanks for crying with me, and sharing your version with us. You have a beautiful voice.
I'm starting college this week and this song has such an impact on me as well. I hope 5 years after you've posted this that you are happy and have accomplished atleast some of your goals. Big hugs.
Girl your gonna make me cry. You gave me chills. Your voice and piano playing is absolutely beautiful
Girl, you just read my soul! I been jamming on this song all day trying to perfect it. Through teats and soul therapy
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing such an amazing gift. I’m a Billy Joel fan and I am impressed with your version of this classic.
i love this song and ive heard dozens of versions, i can say easily that this is the best ones cause you sing with passion, thanks for this
Im currently in college and i am totally lost. This song always calms me down. There's no rush you'll get there. There's no need to rush enjoy now instead of worrying about the future constantly.
Im a little late to the party but wow this was so emotional the way you sang it. Hope you have continued singing, your voice is beautiful.
I actually teared up, your voice is fantastic!!!! This song brings back so many memories, thank you so much. Billy Joel is my entire childhood, this is truly 100% gold
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! Billy Joel was my childhood too!! :)
I don't know why but I keep comming back to this magical cover! This is my little comfort place!
i really hope you're doing well wherever you are, thankyou for this gem. I come to this video everytime i want to bawl my eyes out
This is one of the most beautiful heartfelt videos I’ve seen on TH-cam in a while
Amazing cover of one of my all-time favourite songs! Straight from the heart. Keep up the good work!
Wow. I’m so happy I found your channel this morning. Beautiful voice and awesome cover of one of my favorite songs. God bless you!
The Stranger was the first album (cassette) that I owned as a young teenager. Great stuff.
I love listening to people play music that they really feel. Beautiful song, beautifully done. Thank you.
I hope college is going well, and that you've found a way to play/sing while there!
This comment made my day! Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed it!! And I did find a piano at my school, so sometimes I go and play this song on it :)
+phoebe sings i love you
This is someone putting her heart and soul into a song. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your comment!! It made my day :)
It takes a lot for something to move me to tears and this absolutely did
i’m literally speechless.. this is incredible
This is so good!! I love how good your voice is even when you are upset!
wiping my tears 😭 you have a beautiful voice and complements Vienna very well.
I’m a long time billy Joel fan and I have no doubt he’d be proud of this cover, it was amazing!
I share with you the same emotions on this song: beautiful but strong. Thanks for sharing and for your rendition, it's SO beautiful!
This is honestly one of my favourite videos on TH-cam. I hope college goes well for you. X
Wow, thank you so much! College is great so far :)
Mich hat dieses Lied schon immer sehr berührt.
Bei ihr kommt das auch sehr zum Tragen.
Eine wirklich schöne Interpretation.
Vielen Dank dafür❤️
OMG I love billy Joel and I have heard this songs so many times even live and NEVER have I heard this song so beautifully!
thank you so much!!!
Esta canción la descubrí ayer mirando una película, con una aplicación la descargue y me sorprendí de lo bella que es.
Tienen un gran talento y sentimiento que hace llorar cualquier corazón ❤️.
Felicidades desde Cd. Reynosa, Tamaulipas
México.
One of most beautiful Vienna I ever listened!!! You’re amazing, gorgeous and doing the right way🥰 keep on what you’ve doing cause you’re in the right way for sure
I love how she sings/tells the story.. beautiful
what a wonderfully emotional performance-hope college went well and you continue to play. I attended several of my sons' violin and piano recitals-however at his end of year piano recital, about 12-13 years of age, he was paired with a violin professional from the conservatory - they played I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis (Ruthie Henshall version) it was the most beautiful thing I ever heard and there I was - this grown man crying non-stop in the audience !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but you know what Washington Irving says about tears ????????
It's odd to look at when this was released, it was the same year I went off to college. I've liked Billy Joel a long time but Vienna is sadly a very recent discovery. You seemed to be feeling similarly to how I was when I left for school, and this song seems to fit the bill very well.
Thank you for sharing this moment, it really is beautiful - and your performance was great, as well. In fact, this song is on my to-do list as I get into playing the piano myself.
All the best to you, and thank you again.
This is still one of my favorite covers of this song
I think we all feel like you when we hear this song.. gets me every time.
Im on doctors school .. 2 more years and i will be a Doctor.. cant believe it..
I ALWAYS listen to the song and your cover everytime i end my academic year .. you give me luck .. LOTS OF LOVE FROM ARGENTINA PHOEBE!!!!!
So beautifully played, and amazing singing too! Raw emotion in here
A beautiful cover of one of my all time favorite songs that got me through my young adult phase. Thank you so much for sharing.
This gave me chills, and I might have shed a tear... You're a beautiful singer! so glad to have met you!!
Aww Jade thank you!!! I'm glad I've met you as well!! :)
Wow, incredibly touching. Great interpretation. Thanks for making me cry too. U rock!

As soon as I heard you start playing the intro on the piano, my eyes started to get a little foggy. I forgot how good this song was. You nailed it.
