I’ve never been a big fan of the crooner, but for an ugly cat prone to drunk driving, he’s sure batted above his weight with the ladies for years. Christie Brinkley? That’s not even fair. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to pound seventeen beers in the next hour and sing “Piano Man” at the top of my lungs

Lyrics: What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing? "Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?" Maybe I should buy some old tab collars? "Welcome back to the age of jive. Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey? You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money." Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me What's the matter with the car I'm

Billy Joel lanzó un nuevo sencillo pop, el tema anti-guerra "Christmas in Fallujah" (Navidad en Faluya). A los 58 años, Joel sintió que estaba demasiado viejo para interpretar la canción, inspirada en cartas que recibió de soldados en Irak. Así que se la dio a Cass Dillon, un músico de 21 años de Long Island, Nueva York. "Pensé que debía ser alguien joven, como de la edad de un soldado", escribió Joel en su sitio de Internet. "Quise ayudar a alguien con su carrera. Tengo suficientes éxitos. He tenido suficiente difusión... Creo que es hora de que alguien más, quizás, se beneficie de mi propia experiencia".

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. I just thought I could post a video with lyrics of My Life. Here it is: Got a call from an old friend We used to be real close Said he couldn’t go on the American way Closed the shop, sold the house Bought a ticket to the West Coast Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A. I don’t need you to worry for me cause I’m alright I don’t want you to tell me it’s time to come home I don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone I never said you had to offer me a second chance (I never said you had to) I never said I was a victim of circumstance (I never said) I still belong, don’t get me wrong And you can speak your mind But not on my time They will tell you, you can’t sleep alone in a strange place Then they’ll tell you, you can’t sleep with somebody else Ah, but sooner or later you sleep in your own space Either way it’s oka

Some people stay far away from the doorIf there's a chance of it opening upThey hear a voice in the hall outsideAnd hope that it just passes bySome people live with the fear of a touchAnd the anger of having been a foolThey will not listen to anyoneSo nobody tells them a lieI know you're only protecting yourselfI know you're thinking of somebody elseSomeone who hurt youBut I'm not aboveMaking up for the loveYou've been denying you could ever feelI'm not above doing anythingTo restore your faith if I canSome people see through the eyes of the oldBefore they ever get a look at the youngI'm only willing to hear you cryBecause I am an innocent manI am an innocent manOh yes I amSome people say they will never believeAnother promise they hear in the darkBecause they only remember too wellThey heard somebody tell them beforeSome people sleep all alone every nightInstead of taking a lover to bedSome people find that it's easier to hateThan to wait anymoreI know you don't want to hear

Billy Joel is the big kahuna in the Pissing off the Taste Police stakes. I’ve copped hideous abuse for confessing my love for some of the music of Billy Joel, without embarrassment (because apologising for enjoying certain music is for losers). Oh, I can see why people might hate Billy Joel’s music, or even the man. “River Of Dreams” and “We Didn’t Start The Fire” are appalling and should never be heard again. When I say I like Billy Joel, I’m talking about his golden years, stretching from Turnstiles (1976) to Songs In The Attic (1981), with the patchy Piano Man (1973) and 1982's The Nylon Curtain (and perhaps some of An Innocent Man from 1983) bookending that phase (and ignoring 1974's Streetlife Serenade, except for its fine title track). And even then, there are some tracks that leave our man open to abuse: the overplayed “Just The Way You Are”, for example, or almost all of 1980’s rubbish Glass Houses. And yet, there is so much that Joel’s haters tend to

Although Billy Joel never was a critic's favorite, the pianist emerged as one of the most popular singer/songwriters of the latter half of the '70s. Joel's music consistently demonstrates an affection for Beatlesque hooks and a flair for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway melodies. His fusion of two distinct eras made him a superstar in the late '70s and '80s, as he racked an impressive string of multi-platinum albums and hit singles.Born in the Bronx, Joel was raised in the Long Island suburb of Hicksville, where he learned to play piano as a child. As he approached his adolescence, Joel started to rebel, joining teenage street gangs and boxing as welterweight. He fought a total of 22 fights as a teenager, and during one of the fights, he broke his nose. For the early years of his adolescence, he divided his time between studying piano and fighting. Upon seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, Joel decided to pursue a full-time musical career and set about finding a local Lon

When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can’t hold me forever I didn’t sign up with you I’m not a present for your friends to open This boy’s too young to be singing the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can’t plant me in your penthouse I’m going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you’ll do then I bet that’ll shoot down your plane It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you’ll get a replacement There’s plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain’t got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

Loading... If you search for tenderness it isn’t hard to find. You can have the love you need to live. But if you look for truthfulness You might just as well be blind. It always seems to be so hard to give. Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. I can always find someone to say they sympathize. If I wear my heart out on my sleeve. But I don’t want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies. All I want is someone to believe. Honesty is such a lonely word. Everyone is so untrue. Honesty is hardly ever heard. And mostly what I need from you. I can find a lover. I can find a friend. I can have security until the bitter end. Anyone can comfort me with promises again. I know, I know. When I’m deep inside of me don’t be too concerned. I won’t as for nothin’ while I’m gone. But when I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn. Because you’re the one I depend upon. Hon

Ho vissuto i momenti più felici della mia vita quando le mie relazioni andavano bene - quando ero innamorato di qualcuno, e qualcuno amava me. Ma, in tutta la mia vita, non ho mai incontrato la persona con cui intrattenere una relazione duratura. Sono molto insoddisfatto per questa cosa. Sono arrabbiato con me stesso. Sì, ho dei rimpianti.C'è tutto il percorso artistico di Billy Joel racchiuso in queste sue parole. Un animo irrequieto, perennemente alla ricerca di qualcosa. Un'esplorazione infinita del proprio essere, un viaggio emersoniano verso l'ignoto per comprendere l'inestricabile mistero dell'esistenza, della ricerca della felicità.Billy Joel inizia a 14 anni a "fare musica", nel 1971 incide il suo primo album, Cold Spring Harbor, al quale seguiranno decine di altri memorabili dischi destinati a segnare oltre trent'anni di una sbalorditiva carriera. Ottimo pianista, Joel compone melodie calde e avvolgenti riuscendo nella complicata impresa di coniugare l'anima dell

Pop Rock-USA William Martin Joel, conhecido como Billy Joel (Hicksville, 9 de maio de 1949), é um cantor e pianista norte-americano. Conhecido como The Piano Man, Billy Joel manteve um grande sucesso por duas décadas, mesmo se recusando a seguir as exigências de sua gravadora, que queria somente material comercial. O primeiro êxito do cantor foi "Captain Jack", que rendeu um contrato longo com a

With all the influx of "talent" (and I use that word loosely) coming into the singing world, I don't think we can forget about one of the all-time greats. With people like Sanjaya taking over the world (who by the way STILL did not get voted off), I think Billy Joel is worth talking about.Who's with me on this?? Can I get a Holla????No? Yeah, I know, people think I'm old. I'm not really, I swear it! Billy Joel just has this great quality about him as a singer, it is relaxing, and it holds so many memories for me. Granted I was in the prime of my early teenage years during his rather "blah" phase - think Uptown Girl, I Go To Extremes, The River of Dreams, and so many more that I could talk forever about. But, it was his 1985 Greatest Hits Album Vol 1&2 that really had me hooked.How great are these songs?? My absolute favorite is New York State of Mind. OMG I could listen to that like a million times. It reminds me of driving back and forth from PA to MA when I was in my early 20

Cette année, Billy Joel a chanté l'hymne national qui fut dédié aux victimes des tornades qui se sont abattues cette semaine en Floride. Vous apercevrez aussi quelques-unes des troupes stationnées en Irak et le passage de l'Air Force à la clôture de l'hymne.A la mi-temps, ce fut au tour de Prince d'enflammer le Dolphin's Stadium avec quelques grands classiques de Rock n'Roll et l'incontournable "Purple Rain". Ce morceau se prêter particulièrement bien à la circonstance, avec la pluie qui redoublait d'intensité.1/32/33/3

Number 849Billy Joel"The Stranger"(1977)..Genre:Singer/SongwriterPiano Man? This man is a bloody legend to me, anyone who gets poobahed from the critics like this man has for the last 30 years has to be.I could never understand why they did, he wrote, he sang and was a brilliant performer live not to mention making groundbreaking provocitve music in the 70's.You can see why i struggle with the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine sometimes, who they worship, leaves a lot to be desired.Now as you know i do trust the good site at www.artistdirect.com. Their writers/critics are at least unbiased and not owned by the recording artists. (I hope). Lets see what they say about our friend The Stranger."Although Billy Joel never was a critic's favorite, the pianist emerged as one of the most popular singer/songwriters of the latter half of the '70s.
