    Lyrics:
    Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
    You better cool it off before you burn it out
    You got so much to do and only
    So many hours in a day (Ay)
    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 (Oooh)
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

      too bad he didn't help himself with it, he didn't take his own advice to "slow down you crazy child"... I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of VIENNA and ALLENTOWN on my YT channel in tribute to the master. No autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.

    I'm brazilian. I'm 24 years old and I've worked my ass off for the past 7 years trying to pay and finish my flying course. Now , thaks to God, I just finished it. Timing couldn't be worse. Aviation, during corona days, can't get any worse.
    I have no job, no other expertise other than flying and here I am, as anxious as any man can get. So I decided to light up a cigarette (I know, i must stop), and watch the sunset.
    Then I remembered, out of nowhere, this song that my dad used to listen during my childhood roadtrips. God. I feel like brand new. The lyrics touched my hearth like the boost I needed to keep on going, like I always did. Thank you, Billy Joel, you might not have changed the world around me, but you sure did change my day.

    Vienna
    Billy Joel
    Slow down, you crazy child
    You're so ambitious for a juvenile
    But then if you're so smart
    Tell me why are you still so afraid?
    Where's the fire?
    What's the hurry about?
    You better cool it off before you burn it out
    You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day
    Ayy
    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 wanna 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 a while
    It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    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
    Why don't you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?

    I had a mental breakdown today. As a last year university student I have anxiety about the future. Over the past months I never tell my parent about this because I don't want them to know that I struggle to finish my final assignment, but today I had the courage to call my dad about my anxiety. The conversation calm me down and reassure me to not give up. After the call I went straight to spotify to sing away my sadness and this is the first song that played randomly when I clicked my playlist. It feels like someone just pat my head and say that everything will work out well. Thank you for this beautiful song

      20s are so confusing and life seems to become certainly like a "race". Every decision we take seems to be definitive and days start to run in such a crazy way, but everything takes its right place eventually (I'm in my mid-forties now and it is until now that I understand so many things). Just take day by day and as Baz Luhrman said ..."Sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you are behind. At the end the only race that matters is the one against yourself". Best wishes from Mexico!...

    Ah, it seems all of the gifted kid burnouts are having a meeting
    Edit: I keep getting notifications for likes on this comment. I originally wrote this almost 4 years ago when I was at the lowest point in my depression. I had no friends, was failing classes, and generally felt like an absolute failure. For anyone actually reading, as corny as it is, things do get better. Burnout can be reversed and you will find things you love to live for. My original comment was a (lowkey unfunny) joke about how helpless I felt in my inability to grasp onto the greatness I promised myself as a child. But a low point does not equate to an end point. I picked myself back up and I'm working towards my goals even when it gets hard. There will always be difficulties and sometimes I still feel like giving up on everything and retreating to the comfort of my self-destructive thoughts but as the years go by the urge decreases. Being a "gifted kid" doesn't mean you automatically become a failure as an adult. And I truly hope anyone who took the time to read this will take the time to take care of themselves to heal any wounds and become who they have always had the capability to be. Don't be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    This song is about Billy Joel finally meeting the other half of his family. His father lives in Vienna where he is a famous concert pianist. ( Imagine that) I also think that he finds out during this trp that his half brother is a surgeon. The song has great meaning. Billy always thought that he had no time or place to fit these people into his life, until he met them.

But that's not even the point, im sure there's so much more to you and if your colleges can't see it, that just shows how they are not capable of recognizing the real stuff, you don't have to be pressured by others around you, just focus on yourself and you'll see how amazing you really are and people around you that actually matter always know what a great person you are!

    This song has been my quarantine salvation. My parents are split up and last year I moved at my Dad's with his couple and my half sister, things have changed so much ever since, my mom sstayed alone, this was certainly a challenging year. Furthermore, in the start of this year in a trip I had to Thailand I met a beautiful girl from Europe and we fell in love back there and returning to our countries we tried sooo bad to make a Long Distance Relationship work...
    The relationship made me very anxious because there was no other place I wanted to be except where she lives, it was 3 moths of pure agony, longing, imagination and desire until she finally she broke up with me. I loved her so much. It was a super sour taste and one of the saddest and most heartbreaking moments of my life and being locked up didn't help a bit. All these things I've mentioned, growing up, my career and the decisions I make right now (that are knowingly going to define a lot of things in my adulthood) make me so scared of life, I want to give my best, I know I have lot to give but end up doing shit.
    And this songs has been a huge help throught these rough, raw, depressing times...

    I named my daughter Vienna Rosalie. This song always makes me cry, and now when I hear it, it is an ode to myself and to her. Ive been waiting for her my whole life and the lyrics are rich with wisdom and lessons I wish I had learned earlier. I have always been the over achiever who sacrifices too much. I faced the Great Recession through my 20s when trying to kick off a career and now im my 30s had her during the covid pandemic, in extreme isolation, working from home and pining for the opportunities and freedoms I traded for work in the past, believing them too expensive and always planning for the future. Anyway, what a beautiful and wise song. I will dance with my daughter to this on her wedding day, if I get to be so fortunate.

    -You better cool it off before you burn it out
    -You 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 wanna 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
    -Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
    -It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
    -When will you realize? Vienna waits for you
    -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
    -Why don't you realize? Vienna waits for you.

    When I think of this song, I don’t think about appreciating youth. Instead, I think about my mother. She spent most of her 30s-50s (she’s 53) paranoid about some people taking something that belongs to her (I’m not getting into details but yeah). To the point where I still remember her struggling with that, since I was a child (I’m 21). Now that I am older, I am trying to help her keep that thing and I am trying to keep people from taking it but this song reminds me that she has always been worried about something that, at the end of the day, will not matter. She will not take that something to the grave. Heck, she won’t take anything to the grave but she has daughters and granddaughters that appreciate her so much and she does us but I just wish she lived the moment and would be happy, without letting that one thing get to her. She should slow down because she’s doing fine, she can’t do everything she wants to do before the time. The time will come soon but, for now, she should focus on the happy moments with us, since she’s the greatest mother ❤️.

    It's just hard to be born in a financially unstable family. I'm only studying but I feel like what I do is still not enough. I should only be worrying about studies but here I am, worrying about me and my 75 year old Dad without having a Mom beside me. (God took her away from me).
    Haven't received any simple "how are you?" from my sister for the past months. Life sucks but I have to keep moving forward and deal with life's challenges.

    Everyone in the comments is talking about how they're 17 and dont know what to do with their lives or 18 and pregnant. But I'm only 14 and i feel this song too. This song helps all ages i am so grateful. I've had some hard times and am more like a mother to my brother than a sister but i am also his best friend because with how life is here i am all he's got so i will be everything he needs to make him happy. I've been forced to grow up since i was 6 acting like i was 18 because my mother left. And i got it in my head that i owe the world so every chance i can i am helping or doing something for someone else i've never really done anything for myself. This song reminds me that i can slow down, take a minute to breathe, and just be alive, so that's what im doing for the first time in my life even though it's only for 3 and a half minutes.

    Probably the best overall musician in pop music history, his expansive harmony knowledge shows up in EVERY song, and his piano chops are still amazing! On his live shows, with well over a dozen other players/singers on stage, his piano IS the rhythm section on its own. Not to his being being on a very short list of best songwriters of all time.

    lyrics
    Slow down you crazy child
    You're so ambitious for a juvenile
    But then if you're so smart tell me,
    Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
    Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
    You better cool it off before you burn it out
    You got so much to do and only
    So many hours in a day (Ay)
    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 (Oooh)
    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 got your passion, you got your pride
    But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
    Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
    Slow down you crazy child
    Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
    It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
    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 halfway through (oooh)
    Why don't you realize... Vienna waits for you?
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

    I have the impression that the 70s, 80s and 90s were really beneficial years for humanity. It seems that the songs had a much greater sentimental weight. There are those who say that this was the golden period of humanity. I wish I had lived at that time and listened to those songs. What a good feeling I have right now. Only classical music can achieve this feeling.
