What's your favorite Billy Joel song?
A Matter Of Trust.
They’re all so good I can’t choose
Honesty
Big Shot!
VIenna, Summer Highland Falls, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant... actually all of his songs are my favorite.
After decades, this song still brings a tear to my eye. I used to sing it to my sweetheart at bedtime.❤🎶
He always changes his favorites. His songs are his children.
Me too
no hes been saying "and so it goes" was always a song he thought should got more exposure ever since he wrote it
@@fucu41It really should have.
Not only the music, but the lyrics are poetic and beautiful.
@@srldwg yes the song really reasomates lyricallly and musically. I did think it was sorely underated
He said Vienna was his favorite on late night tv some years ago. I don’t hold it against him. He wrote SO MANY great songs.
“And still I feel I’ve said too much / my silence is my self defense” damn. Poetry
Dang, Mike Ehrmantraut is pretty good at piano.
I didn't see it until I read this comment, but now I'll never un-see it.
@ediebegonia Bro I couldn't unsee it either 😂😂😂
Im always saying this, its the voice as well
Waltuh, put your saxophone away Waltuh
Waltuh... We're not gonna start the fire, Waltuh...
And So It Goes is amazing! Just listened again, it’s so emotional and honest. Billy, you did such a wonderful job composing this!! Sounds like an old Hymn, it’s a hymn of your heart!! ❤️
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is brilliant. One of the few songs from any artist I can listen to and never get tired of. It was right in the same era with Jungleland and Band on the Run where they strung together a few short songs to make one long song. Masterpiece.
YASSS. I love it so much I have a wine corner in my house and there are two bottle holder shelves with glass hangers below them, and I put chalkboard pant on the fronts of them and they say “A Bottle of Red” and “A Bottle of White.”
@@RedHotMessResellthat made me smile
Jungleland - now we’re talking. Love your choice in the Billy Joel song as well.
Amazing to hear him say this. I've been a pianist since i was 5 yrs old (34 now) and i discovered this song as a freshman in high school. It is still the one i play when i first sit down at the piano. I love this song. I thought no one else knew about it.
And So It Goes will always and forever be my favorite Billy Joel song.
makes me so happy my favourite artist loves my favourite song!!!!!
And everytime I've held a rose, it seems I've only felt the thorns..
Even when I read that I heard it in his voice as he would sing it. It is such a touching song.
@@catherinekilgour2563 Same here
That song never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Touches my very soul and speaks to part of me as if we grew up together. Even in this horrid recording and short clip he chokes me up all over again and make me wish I had had a hard to silently take... give and give a squeeze ... knowing silently without fail a return squeeze would come being received in a blink. One which carries unheard words.... reassurance. It's be a life time. 20 years & I'm only 55.
Yes. Agreed. Same with me.
Man up Nancy
@@CharlieBrnI love you man
Me too, and so does Lullabye. I Cry every time
And So it Goes is Billy Joel’s Yesterday. It’s short, poignant, and downright artwork.
Either that or She’s Got a Way. Both are wonderfully simple and brilliant.
also honesty
Souvenir and Where's the Orchestra?
@@jumpinjointhonesty is a perfect song, but not simple enough to be his yesterday
That song means so much to me!
Mine is 'Just The Way You Are '....Even Paul McCartney said he wish he had written that..
Piano man is another one of my favourites 😊
That IS a beautifully done song
WHEN I SEE YOUR FACEEEE
I’m waiting for someone to use A.I. to have Paul sing it
I just found a recent appreciation for "Just The Way You Are." I've listened and enjoyed a fair amount of Billy Joel since my youth. Just The Way You Are had me really like, this is deep an well written. I was feeling it and listened today as well. I love the duality element in many of his songs.
I always love when an artist as accomplished as Billy Joel says he's written some songs that aren't that good. It means he always left room for growth. That's great.
Billy Joel is a treasure
The most prolific, eclectic, gifted singer-songwriter of my time.
I think Billy Joel is brilliant. An amazing musician whose songs fill my heart with utmost joy and heartache. And when I here Billy Joel, I hear New York City, he is NYC and his music is food to my soul❤❤❤
This is awesome because that's my favorite Billy Joel song.
Sing us a song you’re the piano man, sing us a song tonight, cause we’re all in the mood for a melody, and you’ve got us feeling all right!
I hope Billy lives to the age of one hundred, because the world won't be
the same without him. He's a gift to humanity. His music has taught us to see with our heart's eye.
I love "Vienna"....and "The Stranger."
I would guess that Vienna would be his answer.
Omg, those are EXACTLY the two that came to my mind! ❤
I think of a particular girl Everytime I hear Vienna
He is always has been a genius
I had a gf who one night says “why is he (Billy) so popular? His songs aren’t bad, but they’re not great either. Kinda like a rice cake (I’m paraphrasing the meaning here).”
Well, it’s not that he’s a great singer, which he is good, it’s that he’s a good singer, and piano player, and guitar player, and keyboard player, and he wrote all of his own lyrics, and all of the melodies for ALL of the instruments, and I’m probably forgetting a few.
“Oh, I get it now.”
Just saw him in Chicago. On the way home I played this one for my wife. I explained the melancholy feel of the intervals matches the lyrics perfectly.
"And So It Goes" is a wonderful song! Thanks, Billy!
Billy Joel is awesome! His music is so good! I love his new song, Turn The Lights Back On!! It is pure genius!
Very good to have the man back!
Impossible to pick one. His catalog rivals any major star ever.
He had such a short career in terms of putting out music. Hate that 1994 was the year of his last album.
@@janejones7638he just released a new song!
It’s absolutely beautiful just for the record. You should be proud. Thanks for that.
Tha is my favorite Billy Joel song of all time the lyrics touches me on so many levels ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you !
Me too!
Love you Billy Joel.
God bless you. ❤❤❤
Piano Man is my absolute favorite. His dulcet, pure voice and the tale of angst and hope is just a beautiful, wistful thing I've wept to on not a few occasions.
He says its one of his weakest songs....melody is very simple and repetitive.
I find it to be one of his most boring, but its the most well known hes made
@@Gas2311 I find you to be boring.
@@Gas2311why are music enthusiasts so damn annoying… I know some kid who says that he technically plays better than jimi hendrix
I mean Piano man was really brought together by his lyrics and his vocals, and in terms of technical stuff, I would say that the Stranger could compare to the level of technicality that hendrix displays in his music
My favorite Billy Joel's song. Not just chords but the lyrics and notes makes harmony and shiver.
Me too. I'm not surprised this is always mentioned amongst his favorites. It speaks to me lyrically because people sometimes forget there are two people in a relationship with equal rights. I don't know music, so I didn't know why the melody stayed with me until he just explained it.
My favorite to tell people that don't know Billy Joel to listen to is "My Life". It really encapsulates his body of work.
The Ultimate songwriter..Elton john needs a Bernie Taupin This man has written some of the best songs Ever..on his own!
This man made too many classics to make him pick the best.
Definitely a musicians musician is Billy Joel. Love this man and his music. 🎵🎶
Scenes From an Italian Restaurant, always a woman to me New York state of mind are still some of my favorite songs of all time.❤❤
100%. And So It Goes never gets the appreciation it deserves!
Most of the other songs that are as good became huge hits, so everyone knows them. I have always felt "And So It Goes" is a hidden gem.
Indeed a truly beautiful song. Thanks for that one, Billy, and so many more.
Never wrote a bad song, don't care what he said. Genius. ❤
New York state of mind is probably my favourite...but he wrote so many amazing tunes...guy is a genius.
And so it goes is my favorite. I've been playing guitar since the 70's. These chords go through me like butter.
We grew up with all of his music on long Island!!
He’s underselling the lyrics. They are simply poetry!
Everything you have ever produced is top notch Billy 👍
Music genius 😊
All about Soul !
Piano Man for me, never gets old
I LOVED singing this song in choir. It had the best chords and arranged so beautifully. It always gave me shivers when I sang it ❤❤
Id be terrified to sing it cause I always fucking cry lol
Lyrically and musically this song is so exposed and honest ❤
I was going to mention the lyrics, too. They're soul-baring and poignant in this song.
It’s so vulnerable. You can’t help but feel emotions start to come out. It’s a heartbreaking song and rightfully so
Those chords are magical. Billy Joel. The American Elton John. Just as good in every way.
The American Billy Joel
I think he’s the American Paul McCartney. His creative range is amazing.
Agreed. Elton is great but Billy does it all, and does it all exceptionally. He's a legend, no doubt.
"Just as good" as Elton John? Better, far better.
Billy wrote the song about a break-up. Those dissonant chords capture his broken spirit regarding the relationship.
A true living legend. You ROCK Mr. Joel
YES. And So it Goes is PERFECTION.
Wow, what an incredible perception of what music does to emotion, what the music communicates.
Ballot Of Billy the Kid really highlights what that man can project with his fingers on those keys ❤
THIS❤ My absolute favorite Billy Joel song... And one not widely known. Sadly.
I love how descriptive he is about explaining his composition - dissonance is the perfect word and sound heard
Yes! I love love LOVE THIS SONG!
Love this one; Goodnight Saigon, Honesty...oh so hard to choose...so many brilliant songs.
All of his songs are award winning!
Oh Billy, this is too my favorite of your songs.
Billy's a freaking genius...Love Billy❤
I've listented to Billy joel my whole life. I found this song a yr ago. Amazing
❤🎼 Billy Joel,Long Islands' eternal homeboy...🎉thanks for the memories🎉
The King singers rendition of and so it goes is my all time favorite song. Just pure perfection.
Your music hits my heart so deeply, more than I let any person in ..except the one who introduced me to your music🫶🏼I'd sure like to see him again. Turn the lights back on.
Definitely And So It Goes is among the most favorite Billy Joel songs, and at the very top.
I love all the songs. Favorite for the longest time. Piano man. Lines from a lot of the songs hooked me. I'm moving out and many other songs just the way you say it. Some more what you said.
Its a beautiful song. I also really like Summer Highland Falls.
And So It Goes is definitely my favourite song of his. It’s so damn beautiful.
The ballad of Billy the Kid 🤠 and We didn't start the fire, because it was the first song I heard of him and made me a fan 😊
Favorite Billy Joel song is whichever one I am listening to at the moment, seriously.
That is my favorite song! I learned to play it on the piano when I was a kid
You:re wrong Billy! I think that every song you have written is so damn good!! Will always Love all of your Music!! Much Love♥️♥️♥️🌷💐🌷🎶🎵🎶
He loves the melodic composition. For me, the lyrics just fit it perfectly and the song is just so damn relatable
🇬🇧✨🎵🎶FOR THE LONGEST TIME🎶🎵✨🇬🇧
That has been one of my faves for years
My favourite Billy Joel song. Had a good feeling he'd pick this one!
This guy is the one of greatest pop artist of all time, pure gold hit maker
Sounds like from heaven! Would be nice to hear it on an organ!
I agree with Billy.
And So It Goes was written around/before An Innocent Man. But when he met Christie Brinkley, he was so happy that he couldn't put it on the album. It wasn't until later in the decade that he finally revisited it for Storm Front. It was written about his relationship with Elle McPherson, whom he dated before Brinkley. He knew the age difference wasn't conducive to either of them and a break-up was inevitable.
Thats amazing I have a new love for this song now
A consumate performer an excellent author/poet.👍🏻 And So It Goes, River of Dreams are fantastic....Vienna,etc.
Honesty. My favorite song often changes, but I always come back to Honesty because really it's what I need most from those I let into my life.
Yeah. It's a pure classic gem.
I love all of Billy Joel’s songs but one of my favorites is Leningrad
All of his songs are amazing
And So It Goes hits the heart.
Piano man, can never be overplayed
❤Love Billy Joel music❤
This guy is totally amazing!
Italian restaurant is by far my favorite song of his, Billy The Kid is a close second.
I knew he was gonna say that. When I first heard it I thought whoa this guy really is a legend. Absolutely beautiful.
It’s through the long night for me. The harnonies just hit the spot.
“Summer, Highland Falls” is one of my absolute favorites of his. The lyrics, the singing, the music, everything about it is just beautiful
Great choice! Agreed. Just perfect.
A master of the craft
Believe it or not, this is my favorite Billy Joel song. ❤❤❤
It’s my fave song too!! 😊
Vienna ... best song ever
That's my favorite song
