#BillyJoel #REACTION
![อยู่ได้แล้ว - LIPTA feat. Mirrr [OFFICIAL MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-9-hpntNym4/mqdefault.jpg)
“We Didn’t Start the Fire” was released when Billy turned 40. It’s a list of historic events from his birth to his 40th birthday.
And he pretty much hates performing it, citing how repetitive the music structure is.
His audiences adore him. He hasn’t recorded new music since 1993, but he continues to sell out stadiums.
2024 called... it's for you 😂.
So many people overlook “And So It Goes”. And it’s sooo good. So profound. Hits us all. 😊
“River of Dreams” video by Billy Joel is stunning. His vocal range is top drawer. A must
Four Billy Joel music videos in a row? I am *always* down for that! You can put all of his songs into a hat and pick one out at random and it would be a legitimate hit, he is just that good and his catalogue is just that deep and varied. If you want to hear more of his vocals with an acoustic guitar, I would recommend She's Always a Woman. And you so need to check out Scenes From an Italian Restaurant for some epic storytelling (the live version from Long Island is a fun one).
ETA: Just remembered, another acoustic guitar song is Don't Ask Me Why.
Agreed!!!!
Scenes from an Italian restaurant is a must hear.......my personal favorite ✌️
Piano Man, Brilliant. One of the best ever. 🇨🇦
Yes! I just love Billy Joel. He is a Master of lyrics. I’ve seen him live a few times over the years and he is a brilliant entertainer! He can do no wrong in my book. One of the most talented musicians of my lifetime. 🥰
"most of them are there because there is chaos going on in their lives or they're looking for an excuse to be chaotic." I loved this. Very insightful
Thanks for watching!
Enjoy your little history lesson in the last song
I personally love his song "Vienna" check it out (also covered by Ben Platt on the series "The Politician").
Would love to see reactions to A Matter of Trust, I Go to Extremes, My Life and Leave a Tender Moment Alone, maybe as a 4 video reaction.
People seriously need to branch out beyond the dozen or so Billy Joel songs that are making the reaction rounds! I Go to Extremes would be considered a banger by the young'ns, lol
So it goes is a masterpiece Billy is an incredible poet
The man's a poet and great song and music writer. He's the real deal. Grew up listening to him singing with him. He truly is the piano man.
He did a song in 1986 that had more of a Bruce Springsteen vibe called, "Matter Of Trust". My favorite album of his though was 1980's Glass Houses. So many hits from that album. Great album to look into.
Interesting - for me, Billy's "Springsteen Song" has been another one from the same time period - "Allentown". Love that song.
I LOVE "MATTER OF TRUST" and the VIDEO that goes WITH it, is fantastic@@
Have seen him in concert 3 times, one of which was his Elton John colaberation. They are both epic and together they were truly phenomenal
Nice choice today! It's been 30+ years since "we didn't start the fire" came out.. How interesting would it be for him to do a version of history since that time...
Some more upbeat Billy Joel songs for you to check out: uptown girl, matter of trust (my fave), for the longest time, you're only human.
Billy Joel, what a great storyteller. Great songs! Enjoyed your reactions!
Thank you for watching! 😊
Loved your reaction and appreciation for Billy Joel! He has so many incredible songs... some faves are A Matter of Trust, Allentown, Pressure, You May Be Right, Movin Out and the beautifully sublime Just The Way You Are
Thank you for watching!
Billy Joel is so talented, glad you love him!
Such a great song piano man….we can all relate. Looking back on our lives. 😊
It's nice to see younger people starting to discover B. Joel...He's a master songsmith and His songs are so important to the American story...
Love Piano Man. Especially John the bartenders part. So, so many hits from him to choose from. I'm sure we'll see more reactions of him from you.. 😀
The first two songs you reacted to are my two favorite songs of Billy Joel. You mentionted how good the drums were. Billy Joel (and I believe also Elton John) has one of the best bands in the business. True story: during the height of Covid when everyone and everything was shut down, Billy Joel continued to pay his band, not knowing when they would ever be able to get out and perform again. He is that loyal to his band members that he wanted to know they would still be with him when Covid restrictions let up. I think that's pretty awesome!
“I love when he lets that GROWL through”
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Billy Joel over the past 40 years has really made amazing use of the music video. Keep checking out his videos, so many great ones to enjoy!
His writing, singing, and piano skills are so good. I love all of his songs, especially "For the Longest Time" (sung a capella with his bandmates), "Big Shot", "Allentown", and "Angry Young Man" (live version). The piano skills in the last one are unbelievable!! I've subbed, hope you do another medley soon!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! 😊
Agreed about "Angry Young Man"! To fully appreciate it I think a live version is best, my personal fave is from the Bridge to Russia concert.
@@etc7070 I have to check that out. I saw the New York one!
@@lynnie6633 I had the Russian concert on VHS when I was a kid and watched it all the time, also had the cassette. It was the opening song, so it's just very memorable and nostalgic for me. And it rocks!
@@etc7070 To clarify, my fav version is live at Long Island, looking for the Russian one now, thanks!
I've been so much into George I'd forgotten about all the other talented artists Billy a brilliant pianist thankyou for jogging my memory 💚
billy joel songs to rec:
honesty, its still rock and roll to me, leave a tender moment alone, my life, the longest time, tell her about it, just the way you are
Great choices! Billy Joel is in a place of his own, brilliant!☮️❤️
Thank you for watching!
YESSSSSSSS! Piano Man! My Favorite Billy Joel song
I can't listen to "And so it goes" anymore without tearing up since This is us used it so perfectly in the Miguel Episode. So heartbreaking and at the same time beautiful.
i'm a big Billy Joel fan, and I love your commentary on each song. There are so many elements to his compositions, his orchestration and of course his voice. If I had to choose only one singer to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Billy Joel. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Billy Joel is the best of the best for me. He has it all with extraordinary composing, amazing storytelling, great vocals and wonderful piano playing. He is also a terrific performer. Saw him 3 weeks ago in front of 60,000 at Notre Dame. He is still killing it at 73. You had a great example of how eclectic his music is. Would love to hear you react to the epic Scenes From An Italian Restaurant.
My favorite of his songs are: Downeaster Alexa, Lullaby, Leningrad, Piano Man, Uptown Girl, Only the Good Die Young, We Didn’t Start the Fire….oooh, and For the Longest Time.
My favourite artist ! Thank you for this. You have to do - "Vienna", "NY State of Mind", "Scenes from an Italian restaurant" - probably his 3 best songs. Plenty of others though - "just the way you are", "Miami 2017", "Always a Woman" just to name a few. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
Billy will DEFINITELY cherish this reaction video….as we all will🤎💔🤎
I love Billy Joel songs some of my favorites are "A Matter Of Trust" "Just The Way You Are" "This Is My Life" "Moving Out" "Allentown "
Can you imagine if Billy wrote a follow up to We Didn't Start the fire, even just from 1990- now? It would have to be like 10 minutes long. The story goes, a son of one of his friends was complaining about the state of politics and how we got there. Billy used to be a teacher before he became famous, so he wrote this to show life's always been crazy. A song that's very similar in message is Alabama's Song of the South. My history teacher played both to try to interest kids in history.
Billy's best voice over acoustic guitar is the song "Why, Judy Why" from Cold Spring Harbor album. OMG how lovely. And forgotten by him.
Great video, as always.
More Billy Joel songs for you, She’s Always a Woman, You May Be Right, Big Shot, and what might be my favourite, Honesty.
Can’t wait to see more from you. Take care. 💚
Thank you!
Great choices! Billy Joel is a musical genius singer-songwriter. All four of these songs were pretty sad and/or deep. If you want some ideas for lighter, fun and/or more romantic songs by Billy, I recommend "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" (No. 1 pop, 1980), "Just the Way You Are" (No. 3, 1977. a beautiful ballad), "The Longest Time" (No. 14, 1984 ... fun harmonies with his bandmates), "The River of Dreams" (No. 3, 1993). And "Innocent Man" (No. 10, 1984) really shows off the high register of his voice.
I’m so glad you do these 4 packs. It’s so hard to get a handle on a talented artist like Billy Joel with one song. He is literally his own genre and I think it’s safe to say that he composes music based on what he is thinking and feeling and not a formula. Billy is a national treasure and he makes me proud to be from Long Island, even tho I no longer live there. If you are or were from the Island, you are an automatic, honorary fan. Some other great Billy choices are An Innocent Man, Scenes from and Italian Restaurant, Angry Young Man and Captain Jack. That’s hardly the tip of the iceberg, but it’s a great start. I’d also love to see you dive into some other bands that are very eclectic and would do well with a 4 pack. Electric Light Orchestra;
A/k/A E.L.O, Cheap Trick, The Cars, and Devo. Let me know if would like some song ideas for any particular one of these. Also would love to see more U2 in this format since their music also tends to run the gamut! 🙂Thank you!!
Will do! 😊 I’m loving the 4-pack format as well. It makes it SO much easier to appreciate the uniqueness of each artist I cover.
Goodnight Saigon….gets me every.single.time. The Vietnam war was HELL for those young men and women. 😢😢
I LOVE, "We didn't Start The fire" ! I am older, so I remember lots of the references...wish He would do an add on of history to today! I just LOVE your 4 video content format! BRILLIANT!!
Thank you so much!
Love him and his music. Still going strong and amazing!! Thanks Bryson💕
Thanks for watching! ❤️
43 yrs old so been listening to Billy Joel since in the womb lol. Love him. Great vocalist. Doesn’t get enough credit! My favorite songs of his are Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (his masterpiece), Vienna, The Stranger (all 3 from the Stranger album which is my personal favorite.) Vocally his best is An Innocent Man. Definitely check that song out. Unreal vocals. I also think River of Dreams is kind of a must. All About Soul and I Go To Extremes are high energy songs I think you’d enjoy. 👍🏼👍🏼💕
I also recommend New York State of Mind, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Honesty, Allentown, Just the Way You Are, and Captain Jack.
‘Keepin The Faith’ is my favorite of his, the video is real fun as well
They did a Marvel version of 'We Didn't Start The Fire' on Jimmy Fallon.
Watching your Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon reaction video: free because TH-cam is free to watch 👍🏼👍🏾👍👍🏿👍🏻👍🏽
Seeing your honest, heartfelt reaction on TH-cam (because it’s free) PRICELESS
Being able to rewatch it as many times as I want to, because, who wouldn’t want to?
PRICELESS X INFINITY!!
These songs dont have music videos but: vienna, summer highland falls, scenes from an italian restaurant , until the night
One of the greatest writers and performers of my life time!
Hello friend .Lovely piano
Super voice and song .Good for you .Nice reaction
I hope yoi are fine .I want you will bee good forever .So long dear friend .
My favorite has always been Until the Night. He has a lot of amazing songs but that one always spoke to me.
Wonderful reaction. Well done, young man. I'm proud of you and the maturity shown throughout these videos, especially from someone not from our era. Thank you. 😊😊❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
Truly appreciate your reaction ... to four of Billy's songs! Thank you for doing this. I think you stand alone in reacting to four songs in a row. I hope your channel continues to grow.
Thank you!!
"We Didn't Start the Fire" was used by my 11th grade history teacher as part of my final exam. It was a pretty cool way to get people to learn about all those events he lists. (It was historical events from the year Billy Joel was born until the year he recorded it. You may say that or find that out in the vid, I'm not done yet.)
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant live from Long Island is FIRE!!
You can't go wrong with Billy Joel, and it's always different. Piano Man is an all time classic I think. The Longest Time is a great track, it's acapella and he does all the parts himself I think, really cool, also Moving Out (Anthony's Song) is fabulous, but honestly you could be here all day listing great songs by him, thanks for this, it was awesome. ❤
Thanks for watching! ❤️
Billy Joel is a musical genius and never made a bad song either. I could suggest another four songs for you if you want: Honesty, Pressure, She's Always A Woman and Leningrad. They are worth a listen, guaranteed😉👍
For the next four pack...I'd recommend Leningrad, Pressure, Sometimes A Fantasy, and The River Of Dreams. Huge spread of musical styles and all great videos. I'd also suggest checking out his cover of The Times They Are a-Changin', where you see him switch it up, and it's just him singing and playing an acoustic guitar. Simple but stunning.
You should react to good night my angel by billy Joel as well
ah, Billy Joel: Leningrad, Downeaster Alexa, Pressure, No Man's Land, River of Dreams, Night is still young, Lullabye
I love hearing reactors say how much they love the fact that Billy gives something different with each & every single performance.
Welcome to the world of Billy Joel if you’re around the area go see him at Madison Square Garden it’s one of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Great share. Thanks. Simpatico.
Thanks for watching!
That’s quite an intense selection!! Definitely took several hours to watch (the first time, lol)!
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude wouldn’t miss it for the world!!
My favourites are "Just the way you are" and "The river of dreams".
Piano Man unico artista che ha solo gioielli nel suo repertorio... Dal vivo poi è sicuramente il miglior performer ( da giovane un vero portento)
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant and New York State of Mind live
You are so wise.
Thank you!
👋
These Are the Days and Until the Night. Try them.
Jane's addiction please!
Must!
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
The Stranger
New York State of Mind
River of Dreams
Only really liked Piano Man. A fun song would be My Life (chorus is Keep It To Yourself It’s My Life). There are a few other better song IMO like the Stranger.
You didn’t Iike And So It Goes?
@@italoblu sorry bud
Hey I have a request! Will you please do some 10,000 Maniacs music videos? They were a band in the 80s/early 90s with lead singer Natalie Merchant.
I know this video is older but I thought you could appreciate the history on two of those songs. Piano man is actually a true story of his own life. His first record company really screwed him to the point he couldn't even use his own name so he was performing as a lounge singer under William Martin (his middle name) just to pay the bills till his contract expired. The song was the everyday people he saw come in and how things went, so he told the story his way. As for We didn't start the fire, it was actually something that came out of a conversation with one of his friends saying how nothing really historic happened in their lifetime. So he started in 1949(the year he was born) and hit every major historical event till 1989 (his 40th birthday) it's actually the only song he wrote the lyrics before the music so he calls it his worst composition.
Thanks for the info!
Wrote everything he ever recorded.
Today’s music has the lost art of simply Enunciating words…thus, we hear every word!
His band, Masters in Musicianship.
People have got to get away from computers, and start playing instruments again.
You need to check out Elton John's piano skills.
Please, listen to Honesty. I think you will love it.
Great video! You always make me smile.
Thank you!
Great channel! Could you add Gowan to your list?
You got more Depeche Mode concert coming? You have only scratched the surface my friend you still need to dive into more of the newer stuff newer stuff
New sub ty.
I was hoping captain Jack was the last one…
I Love Your 4 Video Approach. Sent you a long comment if you look up your Maneater Video by Hall &Oates describing how and why I have become a follower....
"Saigon" is about all of our young men that were drafted by the Democrats to go and fight in Viet Nam. "We Didn't Start the Fire" is about actual historical happenings between Billy Joel's birth to his 40th birthday. Don't just listen to the music. With Billy Joel's music you have to pay just as much attention to the lyrics! "Piano Man" was about Billy Joel's experiences playing piano in music lounges before he became famous. It's about sharing loneliness with other lonely people at a bar.
“Fire” brilliance is songwriting. Unfortunately, with public schools no longer teaching history…This well-planned out writing of historical events are now lost.
