If you play this song at 8:59:29 on a Saturday (PM or AM if you rock it that way) it will be 9 o’clock when he sings “It”s 9 o’clock on a Saturday”
Robert Veerman looooool
Thank you for this infromation
Thank you...
Shit its 9:36 on a saturday too late
Just did this perfectly
This is the most depressingly happy song I've ever heard.
The worst bit is I feel I'm gonna end up like John at the bar and Im only 16

May 2024 anyone?
Yep
Forever ❤
Always
Oh right here 🙌🏻✋🏻👋🤙🏻
Yup
1973: masterpiece
2024: masterpiece
Stills speaks to me after 50 years. Incredible
same.
Also I think bittersweet songs in general resonate much better, thus making them better in most cases.
I would also say the bittersweet feeling is very similar to nostalgia, which is something we seek at least every once in a while.
Have an amazing day. :)
@@dwarian5252 You aswell! To the amazing day part-
I agree
@@winkpinky1445INDEEEEDDD
@dwarian5252 have a nice day my friend! Its good to bring some good memories back. Once in a while😊
The dude sung a song... about singing a song. Bro... This is genius
You got it 💯
What an amazing view!! I never thought about that :D
One forever song :)
@floop me too
Woah
For a song called “the piano man”, the harmonica HELLA SLAPS
I would like this comment but you stole it from someone else
I heard this comment already a few times... I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classics ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism & composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and don't forget to put some bread in my jar if you can spare it.
Funny that this comment is just above one that is quiet similar
Will Ritter tf?
Nothing like a bit of SLAPP
私は60歳の日本人です。
中学生の頃から
Billy Joelさんが大好きです。
It is amazing to see all the people from different cultures all enjoying this song and sharing their experiences with it. It really is beautiful
Me too listening for long time and living in japan for 25 years
Legend has it David is still in the Navy.
He probably will be for life
Ha, great 👍!!!!
he must be an Admiral by now
@@friendlycrusader8892 Nah, he was kicked out for meth.
Nah, Davy was enlisted and can at most do 30 years.
Recently a bud of mine ended his life. He was a great friend, just like he said I was in his last message to me. He listened to this song a lot, and I remember sitting in his room with him while he played it. At the time I just knew of the song as a meme. But now the song holds an entirely different meaning. I really miss him. Any of you who read this, please have a good day. Never say it's the end. You have a bright life ahead, even if you may not know it yet. I hope the sun brightens your day. I love you all. And if you can't find the light in life. Say hey to Jack for me please.
My deepest sympathies to you, friend. May your friend rest among the heavens.
You may not see him now but you’ll see him some time most important is to not forget him
u made me cry in happiness. may ur friend rest in peace and fly high
My deepest condolences to you on your loss, Sir.
I can relate how Jack felt. May he be in a better place now.
Imagine going to a bar and the singer sings about your deepest insecurities
Lmaooo
Lmafao
E
while making intense eye contact with you and only you, with a smile creeping across his face.
“This is the opposite of why I came here, Bill”
I just want to thank my old man for showing me this... Music has been a very important friend in my life, and this song is very special to me. We live in Colombia, my father could not speak English, but I remember one time that he put this on TH-cam in the T.V. He said: "Escucha esto, es tremenda historia" (Listen to this, it is such a story"). He didn't understand a single word, but the video gave him the clues that he needed to consider this song a "masterpiece". You don't need to understand music, you just need to feel it.
R.I.P to my daddy, I will love you forever, and I am very grateful for everything that you taught me.
Yo same story here only reason why I have good taste in music like rock country reggae balads it’s because of my dad we’re from Honduras, my dad would cry listening to these bangers not knowing a word of English
You right i have it with an Russian song the clip is clear peace of art
Yes, That is why music is called the universal language 🙏👍
The older you get, the harder this song hits you!
That is the truth.The older I get,the more it hit me..Magnificent song.Thanks Billy
He's fantastic! I just got out of the shower and this song said sing me 😄 I gave it my best and it brought me so much joy 👍 Thank you for sharing your immense talents Billy Joel ♥️
A long time ago, I read a comment that said
"This song is the most beautiful way to say 'life sucks'."
Can't seem to find his comment anywhere so Ima just put it right here so I dont forget.
Edit) Happy to tell you that I found the comment you all were talking about, and I think I have to say that I had no intention to steal the comment, but to share the impression I had from this comment and how much I related to it. Love you all, and I hope you all a happy and fulfilling life that brings all the good thing this sucker of a life brings to you. Be happy, and may God bless you all!
Edit 2: So a lot of people have taught me that this comment can be found in the piano tutorial of this song by *sheet* *music* *boss* ! Thank you all for pointing that out! I would have never done it by myself! You all are amazing, and I am happy to be in such an amazing part of youtube! These are perilous times, but I wish that you never lose hope, and that may the best of health and safety be with you all! Love you!
This is something that I would do. lol i like the comment though!
Dongju Heo believe or not, its very deep
next level comment stealing
@ZapejoMC hahaha. did you say the same thing? where'd you say it? like how long ago. id like to see it XD.
Oh yeah I think I know what comment you’re talking about
I like how the song is called "Piano Man" yet most people remember this because of the iconic Harmonica melody
@@djcease1996 Wait, this wasn't original? .-.
Well, I guess it's pretty inevitable. Someone has probably said this 5 years before me.
It's pretty much destiny that someone would definitely say it again even if they didn't know it was unoriginal. History repeats itself.
True dat
Quentin didn't have to be such a son of a bitch either. But history repeats itself like you said and here we fuckin are.
@@walterphillips8537 Calm down, Walter.
Billy Joel, Abba, The Beatles, Queen, Rolling Stones, Elvis will never go out of style
This is MAGIC!!!!!! Who agrees?
❤
The lyrics are so simple but true. It's him observing the average life of average people, yet the song is so above average.
Savanah Nuñez I agree!
It's made even more apparent by the last lines of the last verse:
"And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say 'Man, what are you doing here?'"
They're truly average people, living an average life, but every once in a while they get to experience something quite wonderful.
I guess you could say it was so ordinary, it was "extraordinary"!
musicas international
Savanah, your observation are so true. The author takes simple thing simple observations about things that are happening around him, in a simple place. He or she uses simple words, yet when they are combined and ordered into simple thoughts magic happens. A simple yet beautiful, expression and chronicle of a fragment of life is captured. This tune could easily be called poetry. This is why I call this period in music "THE GOLDEN AGE OF MUSIC!" peace and a happy life to you!!
Producer: "So do you want this song to make people feel happy or sad?"
Billy Joel :"yes"
I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classics ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism & composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and don't forget to put some bread in my jar if you can spare it.
What is up with your semicolon?!
@@HarrisonBorbarrison its not a semicolon lmao
exactly lmao
What if he wants us to have the power over if its happy or sad
This song portrays what life is indeed. A journey full of hopes and glimpses of happy moments which vanish in the blink of an eye
I am a Japanese.
When I was a child,I often listened to this song with my dad in his car.30 years after,I always listen to it with my son in my car. I love this song.ofcourse my son too.
That's beautiful, I hope to pass on the music I listened to with my parents to my kids someday.
素敵です
come here again when you become grandfather 😊
How the hell did a 24 year old write one of the greatest songs of all time as his first single.
ong
he don't know
Anyone can write a good song :D
Where's yours?
This is not that impressive for a 24 year old? 24 year olds are capable young adults at that core part of their life where they have the accessibility to create great things thanks to the foundation theyve built over their years AND they make refined things
Now we need a movie about Billy Joel’s life called Piano Man
Cali Clara Yes!!
Don't really know that much about billy joel except that he made this song but how intresting is his life?
Like the idea though.
starring Robert Downey Jr. as Billy Joel
GriffVicious omg Robert would kill that role! I’d love to see it happen
This is very big brain
Happy Birthday, Billy Joel! Wishing you a wonderful year!
Long Island lifer here. Billy Joel is an irreplaceable icon who is the nicest guy in the world. Great story - Stopped to help a guy with broken down motorcycle on one of the local roads. Got him to a shop, etc. The guy had NO IDEA who just helped him and about cried when he found out!😂
Anyway, great 100th show on lousy CBS last night. He is incredible - always puts on an amazing show❤
This is probably the most literal music video ever.
no, no it's artistic metaphorical interpretation of a modern art painting played over Billy Joel's piano man
+schoolsout901 Well, the song was about him being a piano man at a club so, yea lol
hahahah so literal
+DeForest
I agree. It was quite effective, too.

“they are sharing a drink they call loneliness but it's better than drinking alone"
That shit actually hit me not gonna lie
Certified Retard same here...
That name tho

Same here
50 years old..... Where does the time go? I'm so grateful for my time.....I've known good people who didn't get the time I've been blessed with.....but it's not until you get older that you actually realize how short it is.
I could not place It any better my good man. How older we get the wiser we get they say
@@TheMoviebuff78 If that's true....I hope I get to be an Oracle. 😊
Amen to that! I was just diagnosed with lung cancer! Pray for me please!
I did. I'm nearly 84 and watch this often.I like Billy,he's a brilliant pianist and singer.
If you don’t mind I’d love to hear a story about something from your life
When he said “It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday”, I really felt that.
SAME SIS
Traktorized wait that’s pretty accurate
Yeah its depressing somehow
true
7:52 on a Tuesday
My brother was a piano man. He was born in 1973. His middle name was Joel. He passed away in 1993. He loved this song, he loved music. Today is his birthday. Happy birthday, Cocoy. I miss you like hell.
Happy birthday Cocoy
late happy birthday cocoy
Happy birthday Cocoy
Happy birthday Cocoy from this world !
Happy late birthday Cocoy
I listen to this wishing I could slip back into the 80s and gain that sense of carefree tranquility I had as a college student. Now I am a 58 year old woman with three sick family members. God, give me strength.
He absolutely will!!!
당신의 가족에게 신의 자비와 세상의 따스함이 함께하길 바랍니다.. .
It is from 1973 though.
Happy 75th Birthday, Billy 🥳
The line
“They’re sharing a drink called loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone”
Hits hard

Billy Joel is literally behind every song you like but can't remember the name or lyrics
True
Except for we didnt start the fire
"I'm not really sure how it goes."
For me it’s uptown girl lol
& queen
Literal one of the best songs of the 20th century if not ever
This song always takes me to a bar in New York even though I live in the other side of the world and never been in New York once. That's the magic of this piece of art, a truly timeless gold treasure!
For a song called "Piano man", they sure play the hell out of that harmonica
I mean that's the point of being a piano man
That doesn't make sense sorry
"Harmonica Man"
Yes because can't sing and play harmonica together.
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Billy for this Masterpiece
Why don't they make songs like these anymore? Because maybe this is one of a kind thing. Really don't know.
I never thought the boomers would be the last great music in humanity. Glad I was born in 56 to be a part of it. It's so much better than a Swiftie breakup song.
They still make great songs - its just hard to find because the sheer amount of new music. Enough time just hasnt passed to filter all the generic stuff away
This man needs to live forever.
Don't let him leave the Navy.
Happy Birthday Billy!!!!!!
Viel Glück!
Yeah
Die Nosor Po u no because most likely scientists will want to study on him and end up killing him
"They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."...
jfdb59 because drinking when you are alone and feeling lonely is depressing whereas if you have someone else who is lonely to drink with and share each other's problems it feels better, relatively.
Yes, he is saying is that shallow company is better than none at all. People hang out in bars with strangers to not feel alone, but they still feel lonely because they're not with real friends with whom they have a personal connection. Cheers.
jfdb59 best line ever in a song we have all been there
my favorite line is "the waitress is studying politics while the business man slowly gets stoned"
i bet that was also the favourite line of the buisness man...ba dum ts
Happy Birthday Piano Man
Well, my dad used to tell me that if I wrote a good story, a good novel, a good song, then I could feel rewarded in this life. Billy did it.
❤❤❤
2018: Bohemian Rhapsody
2019: Rocket Man
Coming soon: Piano Man
O C E A N M A N
Honestly I would watch both Ocean Man and Piano Man!
I approve
Also Yesterday
It better:)
How is no one talking about how the most famous harmonica is in a song called "Piano Man"
Let Alanis Morissette know.
Harmonica man doesn't have the same ring to it
Blues Travelers - Runaround
Let Bob Dylan know.
@MUFC Idk why you put that here (you're probably some stupid bot) but it's ironic that most of the world calls it football and you called it soccer
58 years old and I still remember when I heard this masterpiece. Mom of 3 grown boys who love BIlly too. Wow 😢
The way he describes the random people at the bar just get me so excited.
There’s no other way he could express those emotions such perfect.
Top 1
One of the best songs of all time !
Moonlight Sonata is better
You can't compare them there mega hits from their own era's
IfTheApocalypseComes BeepMe Yeah, i know it and Beethoven is the best composer ever !
dhiemart32 but there completely different peices, and about 200 years apart from each other, you cant compare them
Bob PlaysMC Yes, i like both songs
This song makes me nostalgic of memories I don't even have.
You feel the nostalgia from your life before this one
Yep 🤣🤣
Yet of memories u missed
So fucking true I get that so much. It's called precognitive nostalgia. Some believe it's from past lives. Some think it's the brain knowing one day the memory will happen and it becomes excited for the memory. Very common in sensitive or depressed people who don't have currently happy lives, so they hope that their future will be better. Hi, I'm Jack. And I'm too interested in my own psychology. Good day.
When I was a kid my dad would play Billy Joel all the time and now whenever I hear his song's I have flashbacks
The harmonica completes this masterpiece. I cry every time I hear this song, but they are tears of joy... Thank you Billy 👍👍👍
I am with you in May 2024. This song never gets old, never.❤❤❤❤
hopefully john is now a movie star
After I heard that he was he got the role for Jaba the hut
Davie's probably still in the navy, though
Heard he shot himself
@micheal Roberts wow 😮
1 like is another movie role played by John
Sing me a song Piano Man. I need to feel normal again.
I wanna feel alive
Alex back please now soon when
@@dread3165 same!
What is normal? I went through a painful period bc I was unlike my peers. Decades later, I am so happy I never became like them! Normal is just being "who" you are and "what" you are and accepting that. Be you and enjoy it.
@@jamesryan6224 Normal for me is not normal for everyone. Trust me...the least "normal" I am the happier I become
Back when songs were stories. Written by people who lived them. IRL FTW
BTW my sis and I went to his concert in Dallas in the 80s, and we both fell asleep. Don't judge, we were both kids and tired as hell hours before; it was NOT Billy's fault. I awoke halfway through this song. And I'll never forget it. BJ's Moscow concert was one of the only CDs that survived our house being broken into back in 1990 and I still have it. My favorite version of Goodnight Saigon.
I have been to Moscow, fabulous place, I bet the concert was brilliant
As opposed to the exact music written these days? Which is based off of real stories from real people?
This old stuff is great, that's why we remember it, but all music is good to the people that like it, and they're all correct. 😊
I interpret this song as one about broken dreams, whatever they are. And we all have them, and this song is about how we are not alone in our feelings of longing, regrets and disappointment. Only a fortunate few live the life they dreamt of.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
easily
David Minear true
this and turtle power by partners in kryme
You are correct sir.
Howe R. U. Thatdum ?!
Billy Joel: “Hey I wanna make a song called Piano Man”
Dude with harmonica: “YOU NEED A HARMONICA???”
I mean there's a reason the piano is usually used for the accompanying music. Piano music is soft and stable, but it doesn't blare like a trumpet or harmonica.
Billy Joel is actually playing both the piano and the harmonica lol
Kenny exactly, it’s the harmonica guy inside his head
Billy Joel: “I’m gonna make a piano song named Piano man”
Inner Billy Joel: “Harmonica”
Needs more cowbell.
Never gets old. #March 2024
This needs its own definition as one of the greatest, if not THE F'ing GREATEST pieces of music ever written. Meet me in the parking lot, I'm quite prepared to die on this hill...
How’s about we meet at the bar and share in a drink they call loneliness 🙂
Legend.
Billy Legend Joel?
Expert Setting no totally not! you know that Joel billy wrote this song RIGHT ??! he's so famous

@Harry Johnston-Smith Specific strategy. The comments are made purposefully idiotic and fake-looking so only the most vulnerable would go through with it. That makes the rest of the scam easier and filters out those who would drop out of the scam halfway through and waste the scammers time.
Moral of the story- your comfort zone will kill you! Still an iconic song ❤
Amazing how true the words are - after all these years 😥😢
Everytime my depression takes over my mind I get into a dark room and listen to this song on repeat... I let it take over my soul... This is more than a song, beyond a masterpiece... I don't know what this is but it's sad and sweet...

Nice comment but I disagree with the Account username and your profile picture
One of Billy Joel's masterpieces!
Song is over 50 years old, and still sounds amazing.
This song makes you feel like an old person, even if you're a kid, and ur just bombarded with a huge wave of nostalgia that you don't even know or have.
Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.
There's a specific way you can play a song that gives you this sort of "fake nostalgia". A song that does something similar is HOME - Resonance
i felt like i lived before
My dad used to play the harmonica, when I heared this for the first time through a meme, the amount of nostalgia overflowing my brain and heart was unimaginable.
My dad passed away a year ago, just wanted to say that.

"....they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone...'
Thats a very deep and simple line at the same time

Only other line that affects me is, "And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday..........to mine." I'd rate them 1 and 1A

The best line ever in a song we've all been there
If there ever is plans for a movie biography on Billy Joel, Like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman...
It has to be called “The Piano Man.”

How come I never see any Billy Joel songs in any "Greatest Songs of All Time" lists? I mean Piano Man, Goodnight Saigon, New York State of Mind and Leningrad are for me easily in the greatest 100 songs of all time!
Forgot about "only the good die young"

❤🇺🇸🎹🎸👏 Billy Joel is a supremely talented musician and a blessed man.The best part about the 60's, the 70's, and the 80's immortal music is the majority of musicians had to create their own music via instruments because auto-tune didn’t exist back then.
“They’re sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it’s better than drinkin’ alone”-Billy Joel
One of my favorite and most relatable lines in this song.
Lol I commented roughly the same thing. I felt that line in my soul.

Same here
I don’t think I get that
If billy wasn't a singer i feel like he would be a movie director because he is so good at creating these stories in his songs.
He didn't completely make it up, most if not all people r baised off real people he knew
Billy Joel is amazingly talented. This song isn't a story he made up, however. This is based on his real life experiences with real people. His talent comes in expressing that with his songwriting and performances.
@@reesearnett4802 the way he presents all of their stories in song however is entirely his talent. Basing things on real life doesn’t mean someone can’t be a good director baby
Don't make me think of a world without Billy Joel as a singer! :o
@@reesearnett4802 a lot of movies arent completely make it up either.
Sometimes it's great and refreshing to have a music video that is a literal interpretation of the song lyrics.
Never get tired of this song. It will live on forever. My ultimate favourite. Brings back memories of school friends and boys in the army. You rock Billy Joel❤❤

I love this song so much
Me too

Yup, no social distancing, no face masks, no curfew. And most importantly, people not sitting there detached staring into their mobile phones
Look at the People carefully! It ist Western People among themselves. Oh god, please bring back the time.....
All of them in the video, present, enjoying the moment. And with no screens showing other things like sports or news.
What a great song! I've been listening for years, and it still sounds amazing to me.
Thank you, Billy! I always loved your voice and your music.
Love you too, take care!! ❤🌹👏

Well, that is poetry...

not everyone in a bar is lonely...so this and your comment are not true
@@jadezee6316 don't overthink it
@@jadezee6316 And not everyone was in the mood for a melody, but fuck them, this song is awesome
THIS IS A STRONG MESSAGE
this was my dad's favourite song when he was in the hospital, unable to move, still recovering from his coma
He LOVES this song, and now I can say proudly that my dad can now walk and always has a smile on his face
That's great :)

명곡은 언제 들어도 명곡이다
This song seems to me as kind of a love letter to music. How a bunch of completely different people come together, just to listen to some really great music and forget about all the shit in their lifes.
Beautiful song and it gets me really melancholic for some reason.
Jason Storey Just my interpretation. Your version sounds more realistic tbh, but I like the idea of mine :)

In my opinion it is about a bunch of random people who gather together in the bar to find some delight and a break from their lives. And even though they did not meet their live expectations and dreams they had set, this is a way to cope with it and support each other.

loved this song since I was a little kid
+lionxx Red John and Billy Joel. My favorite combo.
It’s 2020 and while music culture has changed so much everyone can agree that this is one of the greatest of all time and that Billy Joel was/is one of the greatest as well.
Tdabomb 12 im 16 and this song makes me sad for memories and the past I never experienced, I’m confused.
Elite 18 don’t worry you have your future to make up for it. You can make more memories. Good memories make us sad because we cant relive the past. Now if the sad memories come up it’s not your fault. If the song makes you feel sad it’s just the melancholic affect it has on you. I believe we all feel it too. I’m 20 and I’m also confused.
Yah and because Hollywood made a movie about Freddy murcury everyone thinks queen was the greatest but in all actuality, they all were.
With queen and the Beatles and Michael Jackson’s oh and almost any one from this time period
Joethegamer I dint understand why everyone loves Michael Jackson, a lot of music that gets talked about with him I like but I’ve never liked Michele Jackson
Ain't it odd how songs like this can be a time machine in an instance for some people . . . ?
If I had to vote for the best song ever recorded Piano Man would be my number 1 pick.
One minute silent for John, who could be a movie star :"(
Amen.
If only he could get out of that place
Don’t worry I pointed a gun a billy and made him give money to John to pay for an audition :)
