One of the purest, most beautiful love songs. Written as a birthday present for his wife at the time. When he sings it now in concert he usually follows it with a sarcastic “and then we got divorced”. Great reaction to a truly amazing artist. Would love to hear more Billy Joel from you.
. . a world favorite... I really adore how the buildup background humming were simply organized what a masterpiece altogether. this can pass to a wedding vow theme song
Ohhhh....! This song never ages for me because the sentiment is so pure and beautiful. You nailed it with your reaction, picking out all of the most poignant lyrics, delivered with such wonderful mastery by a man of many brilliant songs, not to mention his ability as a pianist / musician. Not forgetting the mesmerising saxophone parts, just such a brilliant, timeless ballad. Thank you for this reaction! T - UK
You reacted to one of Billy Joel's best songs. Very good reaction and look I'm 23 and I like this kind of music from before. By the way, you look great (:
Billy wrote this song for his first wife but then dumped her for a super model. So it should be titled ' Just The Way You Are Just as Long as you look like a Supermodel"
If you are still doing reaction videos/songs, here's a suggestion, arguably one of the best love songs ever recorded, Never Never Never by (Dame) Shirley Bassey.
