Billy Joel - Vienna (Evan Duffy Piano Cover)
Vienna
by Billy Joel
This is one of my favorite songs of all time! I think Billy Joel's lyrics are so powerful, and all of the simple piano arrangements I tried for "Vienna" just weren't bringing that same power to the song. I don't sing often on here, but I decided I would try my hand with it on this one in an attempt to re-capture some of that emotion. Also, my camera seems to have done some weird slow-downs here and there (at least they were there prior to uploading), but rest assured this is (like all of my videos) a live performance :) I hope you guys like it!

I don't care what people say. This was the perfect speed, Perfect melody, perfect singing, perfect piano playing, perfect transitions in between head voice an chest voice. This. Is. Perfect. People who disagree can chuck on the caps and say whatever. This cover is the best.

I agree. It's not overproduced, the voice is awesome, it's just a beautiful song that carries itself.
Im crying like a baby. What the hell. Im a grown ass man... Absolutely incredible job.
Spencer Burton led me here through his video, but as a musician, I AM SO GLAD I FOLLOWED MY INTUITION HERE!!! You sang this AMAZINGLY! Thank you for putting this out. I have never heard this song, but on my first time hearing it, I really really do love this song. It has this sentimental nostalgic feeling and yet also is leading me to a future in Vienna all at once, truly some real magic captured here!
nothing more touching is not heard in my life!
This is the best cover that i've listened to so far.
Honestly I couldn't truly appreciate this until I put my headphones on, turned off my screen and all light around me and laid down and listened to this. It was incredible. You have an amazing talent and I hope you never stopped. Kudos Evan.
I still think this is the best Vienna cover after 5 years since I first stumbled upon it :)
YOU SING?! AND LIKE AN ANGEL?! that was such a shock. omg you are an idol and inspiration! :) I feel like any dream is possible because there are people like you in the world. You're amazing and don't let anyone stop you :)
This is crazy good! Deserve much more views, or better, "listeners" than it shows it has. Amazing piano arrangement and the voice is just on point! So beautiful, so graceful. Congratulations!
So freaking amazaing! One of my favs covers... I mean, i'm not saying that it's better than the original song, but It was exceptional for me...
I encourage everyone to share this in an effort to get Evan the recognition his music deserves. If it is seen by the right person, we won't be worrying about getting his sheet music for long! If Beiber can get noticed on KZread, so can this amazing talent, Evan Duffy! Like, subscribe and share and let's make magic happen!!!!
You've got the song spirit! Great
Love coming back to this every once in a blue moon
Im a certified thug gangsta - And this guy makes me wanna stroll along the beach and collect seashells ... Thinking about my lost potential.

@@alanbrown2934 lmao . I forgot about this post. While I'm still a certified platinum OG gangster doing a 25 year to life sentence at Pelican Bay's Security Housing Unit, I've had the opportunity to complete my culinary arts degree. ... I still think about my lost potential whilst baking my world-renowned chocolate chip cookies. Stay in school, kids.
This is absolutely breathtaking. One of my favorite songs! BEAUTIFUL!
Evan Duffy's gonna be HUGE
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'd better cool it off before you burn it out You've 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 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 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'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 awhile it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two 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 half through Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Best cover by far
Thunderous applause!
There are people not owning a tenth of your talent wining casting shows... Gorgeous performance, Evan. Go produce an album - promise we're going to buy it!
Fabulous. Perfect.
Fucking yes emotion and everything. Billy Joel isn't about playing notes and signing well you need emotion
Talent. Pure talent.
It’s rare to find a cover that is arguably better than the original. Lovely performance😘
America's new idol right here
Everybody needs to see this cover!😍😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Holy crap! Billy eat your heart out. This guy is real good. Amazing cover. Never even liked this song till I’ve seen you do it. I respect this song cause I think you did it better.
I wish I could like this video several times!
That was phenomenal! I also loved how you did the accordion interlude on the piano. Well done!
Absolutely brilliant, great song and and cover! Please do more Billy Joel songs and sing in them!
Made me cry. Just beautiful.
You're right, he should really be so much more famous than he is, he deserves it. He is really such a genuine and humble person! :)

Holy shit dude, this is incredible
See guys? These are the people who deserve fame, and money and stuff. These are the people with the real talent. The ones that actually have a respectful thing that deserves recognition. These kinds of people are the ones that should be at the top. Not the stupid people who make dumb videos of their cats, or people who sit in front of the camera and act weird. There has to more of these people out there.
Loving this rendition! You nailed the accordion break.
Perfect!
Thank you from Indonesia.
Increible
Dude... So good.
Your passion inspires me so MUCH. I hope so badly that i hear one of your originals a movie, or commercial, or game, or anything man. You have so much talent, Best luck my friend. Lets take this man to the top guys.
