The body of young Billy was actually the guy that got him to do this song.

I was very lucky to spend time with Billy back at the height of his success. He probably wouldn't remember, but I went to high school with his lead guitarists/musical director David Brown's younger brother. I got to go back stage and to the hotel at fifteen and party with the band. I went on the run to buy beer for Billy's thirty fifth birthday party in Boston. He was an inspiration for me in becoming a life long professional musician. He also dispelled the notion I had that famous people were somehow above the average person. Billy was and is an average guy. He never bought into the fact that he was famous. Just a good person.

I listen to it as soon as it dropped- I'm about his age and it means so much

They're taking Billy thru his years. Quite touching. Have always adored Mr. Joel.

Completely agree to both comments!!

I’m sitting here crying because this is that time of life for me and my husband of 51 years. The song is beautiful and the words so meaningful. He’s been rock steady all these years of entertaining us. My kids were teenagers and they asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I wanted a Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits. I just about have worn them out over the years!! This song has me thinking about how I want to make things better again. Thanks so much for this wonderful video today. 🎶 Cyd

You know that a musician is a stand-out when they can put out three volumes of greatest hits like Billy has, and you have 40 of his own written song over the three versions and not a poor song among them.

Such a great comment. Thanks for opening up to us, Cyd. We are honored!

I swear I didn’t see this in my subscribe until just now. Adding a comment so others don’t miss this. Great song. Sounds classic. 💜💜💜 Billy Joel.

I hadn’t heard this song! So awesome! I have always loved all of Billy Joel’s career! I love the 80’s stuff, but also love the early piano music which this is reminiscent of and so beautiful. The video is definitely so great, showing him through his career!!❤❤❤ And he can still perform as well as always!! Thank you guys!!❤❤❤

he is talking/singing to us. you, me and others who perhaps do not know of his lyrics. it's as if he is asking us, "here's a new song....... should I make an album???? my vote is YES! please give us more!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too

It's beautiful. A very well shot video and the lyrics are signature Billy Joel. Deep, touching and introspective. Great reaction you two. Very nice request Dani!

This is why we love music. My dad. Got my mom pregnant. Wht me. My folks never did drugs.. I was at Woodstock in my mom belly. True . My folks never did drugs. . Ya know why I love music 😂🎶. Thanks mom n Dad. I. Love your channel. . Pass it on. Frm Canada. Ashlena. You tuber. She rocks it. Don music. U tuber frm.canda l

Not only was the video masterfully done, as you pointed out, but so was your review. I've watched the video probably 50 times (to learn to play the song) and still, I teared up as I watched and listened to your reactions to it.

Shouty out to don music. . Frm Canada. Give Don a hug n. Missed. His birthday.

After 31 years, he sounds good. Nice song

It's a love letter to his fans.

So glad your reaction is on KZread now. Yes, Uptown Girl was Christie Brinkley as far as I know. Ninja knows things :) He is the king of melancholy, I swear. His was probably the best show I've ever been to. It's really something to see him. Plus he surrounds himself with amazing musicians, as well, because he can! So that helps. Thank you for reacting to the great Billy Joel. You guys are awesome.

Thanks again for the great suggestion, Dani. That was fun!

Fabulous but poignant new Billy song. Amazing video trickery

Piano Man il più completo songwriter and performer ... Da giovane "live" era un vero spettacolo portentoso 🎹👏🎹👏vedere Scenes from an Italian ......... Live a Long Island

He's talking to his fans.

If you pay attention, his voice changes throughout the video also.

You folks didn't get get eaten by that 🐺 wolf did ya. I hope not. Jeremy is to young to go in this life without a psr guitar 🎸💜. And Jillian is a very kind lady. Love ya. Stay in the studio 🎙️. Not the forest. Want to see ya both on u tube. Not inside . Oh . That show wht debra norvill. Lv frm Michigan USA. .😊

Having trouble understanding why no comments

Warning. Few shows in Canada.

Technically, the last time he released new material was 17 years ago. The song was his apology and his lamenting over his 30 year stagnation of his career when he lost his passion for song writing.

They used brand new deepfake technology. For these scenes a double was playing at the piano, then Billy's face was deepfaked on. Incredible.

Really, really amazing quality!!!

The song is about his relationship with his music not a person.

According to Billy’s interview with Howard Stern, it’s both.

The resounding answer to the last line of this song from his fans.....NO!

Listen first then comment
