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.

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?

@@Stephanie-ml5eo Mine started 4 months before I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago. My anxiety and inner non stop shaking, migraines,eye pain along with some fine motor skills glitches in hands then tripping over words lead to Dr then Neurologist. These symptoms began and were triggered by a huge emotional/psychological trauma of the sick betrayal of my husband being involved and engaging in hard core internet porn. It eventually destroyed me and our marriage after 32 years, to find out 6-7 years later after the first big blow, he hadnt stopped, but was only deeper and more involved. Paid sex solicitation and video porn memberships, sex and porn profiles of himself,.. I discovered a porn video he made of himself. He conned others, friends and family that he was squeaky clean and he was no longer doing it. I had a 3 year legal battle, which only took a huge toll on me mentally and physically. No one wanted to believe he or it was that bad. I had to be over reacting, he just "wasnt that kind of guy" Here's the kicker, 2 months after I was diagnosed, and needed him the most for support, he did a huge career change within the same company, went from working on the Union side for 23 years to taking a job as company management into Human Resources. Which that was what he became obsessed with and for his whole life. He threw away vacation time he always took, worked much longer hours to be a company suck up and had no time or availability for me being newly diagnosed with MS or family. The big IRONY, is now the porn whore is a top Senior HR Manager, for this large company. He is now remarried, and is still in full swing of his sick addiction also is into "cash services" All of this is going on right under the new little woman's nose, she is clueless about his spending because they dont share any banking or credit card accounts,..( its her 4th marriage and she finally landed her cash cow) During our whole marriage I managed all of finances for absolutely everything and we had all shared accounts, in both of our names, When I separated from him a year before, to shake a turd out of him, wake him up, that he was destroying our marriage and loosing me,.. It hit him finally about a month later that he HAD lost his wife, that he needed to get help and make changes, he needed to earn my love and trust back. But it was short lived and all a show and a facade, and the "New him" lasted about 4 months, Then came the betrayal of him tangling up with another woman who thought "he was single" that blinded sided me since we were supposedly working on out marriage, she discovered that I was still very much in the picture and confronted him, of Why is you wife still here?" He threw it in my face about her, and that she saw him for "the wonderful person he was", ,.. sadly I reached a breaking point,.. couldnt take any more betrayals deciet and lies,..became suicidal. I had family abandoned me, friends were not there, it was like I had the plague,.. I was deemed the broken one and he was still the good guy, ( but they didnt know or care to know what all it entailed) less than a year later the legal process had to start, to end it with him,.. It was discovering how more in-depth his addiction and engagement was, was finding charges on a credit card I gave him to use separate from the one I used (both names were on his card as users) thats when some masked charges appeared, when questioned of course he lied, I started doing some serious digging into all of it, and unraveled everything that brought it to me ultimately calling him out and confronting him, saying,.. He was a sick bastard, more than I ever could imagine,.. He then started calling me every name in the book, UNTIL I called him by his PORN USER NAME. Oh he shut up, FAST, backtracked, saying "Hun, can we talk about this?" I said hell NO! WE ARE DONE. But my life has never been the same, friends who should have been there for me werent and even had betrayals by them. I have had to take him back to court 2 times in last 7 years, which was debilitating. And NOW just 4 months ago, on Mar. 20th, 2020,.. I was in a serious car accident, a guy speeding, running a red light, T-boned me totaling my car, my body and a mess. I was in the hospital on trauma floor for 10 days then a rehab/ nursing facility for another 11. I suffered cervical fracture, a severe concussion syndrome, migraines, nausea, injuries to my ribs, (more injury to an already degenerative bad hip) and a meniscus tear in knee. I wear a cervical collar most of the day, and am on a walker, I cant take more than a couple (painful) steps on my own. I live alone and dont have family or outside help let alone any real human contact, other than when delivery people from restaurants that show up. I am so stranded, I now have no car (it was totaled, had to hire an attorney to deal with insurance companies) so I have been a stress mess. I have a long road ahead of recovery, or if i will recover fully which is highly doubtful being 64. The isolation has been terrible, my first steps out of the house in 4 months was going to hospital for xrays and neurosurgeon appt. I come to You Yube to escape and watch music video that I lpve and enjoy... Im sorry, I have rattled on and vented so much,.. I didnt mean to,.. I guess I needed to though. Im glad Stephanie you have good support, because as from the experiences of not having any of that,.. It is HELL!. You take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you!

This song makes me feel like that it’s okay to take time for yourself

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.

This song is my own personal therapy. When I feel overwhelmed about all the things I think I’m not getting, I just put this on repeat, start crying and let the music heal my heart. Works every time! ***Edit- Thanks for the likes, I want you to know that I went to Vienna, my dream since I was 10 yrs old finally came true ❤❤ I cried a lot! Please, don’t stop chasing your dreams. “It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh) When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? 🥹😭

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 awhile It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

I played this song for my daughter many years ago. She was so ambitious, so full of conviction. All grown up now. She is the purpose in my life, a love I was completely disarmed by the first time I held her in my arms as a newborn. I fear to imagine what could have been had it not been for her mother and her, so long ago, saving me from what surely would have been a miserable existence. This will be our father daughter dance song at her wedding this Saturday.

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... ah, this song! It talks to me in a really deep way. I come here every once in a while to remind myself of all these lyrics. Thank you for this masterpiece, Billy.

I was such a try hard growing up. Always going above and beyond every day to become everything my dad wanted me to be. My plan was always to go straight to Uni right after high school like he always wanted, but it wasn’t until I was a Senior that I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do once I got there. So I took a gap year. One of the hardest years of my life, mentally. It was the first time ever that I just stopped and I constantly felt like I was stuck, watching everyone around me live the life I was suppose to be living. It’s been hard, but now as my gap year is coming to an end I’ve realized that this year was a blessing in disguise. I’ve never slowed down, I never realized how burnt out I was until I no longer was. I would’ve never realized how fast I was going if I hadn’t stopped. This song just makes me believe everything works out in the end.

Looking at the comments makes me see how we all on the same boat dealing with real life shit. Thanks

The pressure of being 18 torments me every single day, the pressure of being an adult and acting like one..i don't know if I'm going to live an unhappy life in a job I don't like with superficial loves and bad friendships or a life totally the opposite of that. I hate feeling like an adult at just 17 (18 in a few months)… i'm scared, very scared to have grown up so fast, I just want to be held by my parents again, sleep on the couch and wake up in bed... growing up sucks and to make it worse I'm in this process totally lonely :( edit: i want to thank everyone who took the time to write me these beautiful and sincere words, i'm reading everything and keeping it in my heart... 💗 i really appreciate your story. and for those who are asking, my birthday is already on the 18th of august, i'm sad to arrive so fast but even more because i have little time left of ABBA's dancing queen hahaha idk many cool songs about eighteen so i accept suggestions

Anyways I’m doing what I love, making middle class wage doing it, taking care of my mental and physical health, have my own place and found the girl I want to marry. I still have time to be a child. Hell just the other day I went to the trampoline park and went ham. Everyone was looking at me and my girl like we were crazy because we’re the only 2 adults jumping. Time goes by quick but it’s about the choices you make and what you’re doing to still embrace your inner child.

Reading Billy's autobiography, he explains who he wrote this song about and I was shocked a bit. He wrote it for his father who left his mother and went back to live in....Vienna.....after they had come here to get out of Europe years ago. He did visit his father in Vienna although they didn't really reconcile. He resented his father leaving his mother especially going back to a place that held bad memories for his ancestors. The song is so beautiful, and I used to tell my daughter it reminded me of her since she was always burning the candle at both ends....always doing, doing, doing. So much to do and only so many hours in a day.

I first heard this song when I was 17 and in high school. I used to just hear it and listen to some of the lyrics here and there, just enjoying the song. I’m 24 now, graduated college, and was just promoted at my job a couple a months ago. Seven years has gone so fast. I’ve lost touch with an old friend I held dear to me, I met my wife, I’m learning carpentry and programming, and I’m still rising up pretty quickly in my day job. Hearing this song again just a little while ago, I’m trying to come to face reality that I’m doing fine. I can’t be everything I want to be before my time. I see when I’m wrong, and I need to start seeing when I’m right. I need to slow down before I burn out even more than I already have.

naaaaa….I just want a lot of crying people. just kidding....I probably would pick something from he Beatles.

I listened to this song when I was 16, I thought it was a beautiful song but I couldn't feel it in my soul. Now at 19 with a complete new approach to life, having dealt with many disappointments and starting to face my future I can feel it down to my core and the lyrics speak to me in a way that not many others could

This song changed my life....20 years ago...I was taking a greyhound bus to visit my family in Tennessee to escape what I was going through....it made me stronger.... it's amazing

I wish more teens would listen to these types of songs. This song specifically is so beautiful and the meaning behind it is so huge.

Hello everyone, welcome to the meeting of the traumatized children all grown up now realizing how much of their young years were lost to terribly coping with said trauma now that you're an adult you might be a little better than before and you're crying realizing "omg I was so young when that happened" bc you had to grow up so fast so soon and you were also the gifted kid at some point with some topic and you felt like you burned out at some point amidst all the tragedy but never truly loosing ur talent and your finally finding some joy in life bc life did get better (ifykyk) but now you're reflecting How are you all? Got ur stuffed animals? Got ur water? Snacks good now let's all proceed with our together crying sesh

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true... Vienna was my comfort song my anthem❤

I grew up listening to this song and never really actually listened to the lyrics and now I’m in my early 20’s and I really resonate with every lyric in this song.

lmaoo i cry more when i listen to this because no one told me stuff like this

(Here is the lyrics) (Aqui esta la letra) (Hier ist der Text) (هذه هي كلمات) -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 -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 will you realize? Vienna waits for you.

I discovered this song when struggling with a high risk pregnancy. My mental health was in the gutter. Somehow it helped get me through not only the anxiety filled pregnancy but a very tough post partum period. It is forever my favourite song of all time now. I made it. My son is about to turn 2 years old and I hope he grows to love this masterpiece of a song that is partially responsible for the fact that he and I are still on this earth❤

Essa música me acalma quando eu estou agitada, ela me lembra de respirar e ter calma, que na vida nem sempre a gente precisa ter pressa com tudo e que precisamos olhar a beleza ao nosso redor, há poesia em todos os lugares, basta sabermos enxergar ❤❤

This song feels even more relevant today... such a timeless masterpiece

" Though you can see when you're wrong, you know you can't always see when you're right." Classic line, best line in the song.

To me this song is about how we want to see ourselves “making it” in the future… but there is so much self-doubt, fear and both external (and internal) pressure on the path to it. I have a keychain that says “vienna” to remind me that, even though I’m not always 100% sure of what I’m doing, I’m determined and I will do anything to live the life I deserve. I’ll get to my personal Vienna one day.

Thank you for this message, right now I'm not 100% sure about what I'm doing, but this comment makes me feel less alone.

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

I knew this song before I had discovered it. If that makes any sense... the kinda song you hear when you’re younger and fades away with time, But then you’re reintroduced years later. And now realizing what the words actually are. I needed this.
