Who is still listening to this masterpiece in 2024.

I remember waking up to this song one morning in the early 90's. I woke up just a few moments before 6am when the radio alarm clicked on and started playing this song. The best way I can describe it is that it felt like God had created that morning just for me. I'll don't think I'll ever forget that morning.

My son was born in 1993. This was playing in the operating room when he came into the world...❤️🙏🏻

It’s 2024 now and this song will be listen to the end of time stop with who’s listening

My grandmother died three weeks ago and I chose to play this at her funeral because she used to dance with my brother and cousins and I to this song. I asked permission to organise her funeral because she was my best friend, confidant, and I simply just adored her. She loved this song. As the only Granddaughter, I felt it was my duty to organise a celebration of her life. I couldn't cope with my dad and his brother trying to organise a ceremony for her by themselves and didn't want them to choose the outfit she wore in her coffin. I chose a watermelon pink dress I knew she'd adore. She looked so beautiful and at peace. I spoke a eulogy and then my Dad did then I chose this song to pause and reflect on her views. I cried my eyes out because I knew she would like an upbeat song at her celebration. My Dad held my hand and told me I had made the most beautiful celebration of his mother's life he could ever imagine. There are a lot of reasons why I chose this song, and maybe some family members didn't love it, but it was true to her spirit. I hope she loved it. Thank you, Billy.

A guy from Africa went to my college, he was ultra-brilliant, spoke like 8 languages, english was his Fifth or Sixth - but he would walk around just singing this to himself pretty much all day like it was no big deal. Spring Sing talent show rolls around and he gets on stage and sings it, halfway through the colleges vocal choir joined in with him. Good stuff.

I beginning to learn that alot of the songs I like were sung by Billy Joel I never realized until now who sang them.

You know when you randomly have your brain bring back a song from a long time ago ?? This one came to me in the middle of the night lol

Who's still listening to this in May 2024 like if you have!!!

I come back and watch this video every year on my father's birthday. He was the preacher :) So glad this exists.

my dad passed away about a month ago. this was one his most favourite songs and he used to play it all the time. i went to his funeral today and this song came on, i was crying so much but at the same time i was happy that this song was chosen for it all. i will always remember him now from this song and i will most likely cry every time i hear this song come on. goodbye dad, i’ll miss you :)

It's 2024. Who's still coming to listen to this masterpiece!!!??❤❤❤❤

This weird younger generation does not understand the true meaning of the word "icon" and this man is it

My dad bought this CD when it came out and I was still a little boy. Whenever we were in the car we would listen to this song and jam out. He just passed away of cancer and I cant listen to this without crying. It reminds me of him so much, all of the good times, his personality, his smile, everything. I played this at his service and it just fit so well. Beautiful song for a beautiful man...

Ohhh the 90s nostalgia…..we’re getting old guys…..it’s finally upon us

I'm not a religious person at all, but this truly has a numinous beauty to it. A superb modern gospel.

Thank you Billy Joel, When I played this to my partner of 17 years Jeff, who had a stroke at 73, he suddenly remembered the words and started nodding his head to the beat - it was so...... moving....... thank you for this beautiful song. Natalie.

Heard this and loved it who eles is listening to it in 2024😊

He said he heard this song in a dream and when he woke up he grabbed a tape recorder and started singing what he could remember. I think the angels gave him this song to share with the world.

I'm 67....been suffering from Depression all my life. Been searching for that elusive...what only the blind can see, in the middle of the night, ....all my life. And yes, I went through all the deep valleys....deeper than I like to remember....and still....I am looking for what? A little happiness perhaps? I my mind....I never found it...still searching.....that's why I love this song! Cheers

It is 2023 and I still come here and listen to this classic,64 yrs old and this song still gets my vibes going

There's something absolutely uplifting about this song

All I need to get my ass moving is cup of java and Billy singing River. Hell, i might live four more years just on those two elements of energy, I am 76.

It's 2010. Who is here from the future enjoying great music.

It’s 2023 and I am still coming for this masterpiece

It’s 2023, and still this masterpiece fills my broken heart with hope.

My son of 36 years passed on recently, when I hear this song it reminds me of him..Miss you my Son..

ONLY REAL MUSIC LOVERS....CAN APPRECIATE THIS GODLY LANGUAGE....

Today's my daddies birthday, he passed on the 18th. Now I'm sitting at his grave playing it.

My mother just passed. I as a kid always remember her loving this song and singing when it came on the radio. Rest easy mom. Love you.

This song makes me feel a little bit closer to God.

2024 still listening!!!!!

I’m here at 2am in the morning listening to this in the middle of the night

In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To the river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross Even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore I try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is that I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep I know I'm searching for something Something so undefined That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind In the middle of the night I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river That runs to the promised land In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the desert of truth To the river so deep We all end in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams In the middle of the night

This is REAL music

If you are Christian ✝️ ♥️ you will listen to this song till you get to the end of your life ✨️ ♥️ ❤️ 💕 💛 💖 ✨️

In the past when you was a kid, you listened to songs in the radio and never knew what was the name of many of them. Now I stumble with this song after 30 years, finally knowing it's name, and it's awesome. Today is a good day.

it's 2023,who is still coming here to listen to this masterpiece ?

I'm searching for something. That can only be seen...by the eyes of the blind.

2024 This is so uplifting.

Billy Joel is a fucking legend. Hasn't made any new albums in over 20 years and he's still relevant to today. This man deserves a fuckin movie js #BillyJoel4Ever

2023 and I will still pay any amount to hear this song play in a concert

My dad birthday is today. January 22, 2021 He died in 2010, he absolutely loved this song Happy New Year to all, I know I’m a little late.

Proof that music was better back then: 0% Autotune 0% Nude Women 0% Drugs 100% Talent

No one ever talks about his vocal abilities. One of the best to ever sing

July 2024 we're still here 🔥🔥🔥🔥

An actual musician.

If you listen to enough Billy Joel, I think it's impossible not to become a Billy Joel fan..

How does this absolute masterpiece have less than 2 million views in 2024??

Billy Joel, Elton John...true giants of our era. Any singer/song writer would kill to have just one of their song credits

well folks, Billy Joel's final Album and last big hit is now 30 years old. Feeling old yet?

Who's listening to this song in June 2024 Still sounds good today as it did when it was first released back in '93 July 1993 Billy Joel is a living legend 🙌 👏

Still searching for something I may never find in the middle of the night

Billy Joel has had a mountain of classic tunes over the years...This song is one of his best!

Three decades back, Bill Joel provided pop fans the "River Of Dreams"! Time Flies!

It's amazing how they made Central Connecticut look like the rural South

I'm walking in...I'm in the middle of the night. I walk often

I remember during choir when I was in high school our teacher handed out the song sheets for this song. I was so hyped and ready to sing this because I thought it was a well-known song. Imagine my shock when the piano started and I was THE ONLY ONE who knew the lyrics and notes to it. Everybody aside from the teacher looked at me as if I was singing an alien chant or something. Like seriously how can you NOT know good music??? You guys were in CHOIR for petes sake!!

One of the G.O.A.T.S.: greatest of all time songs!

This is my favorite Billy Joel song. No contest.

Its 2024 and I come here daily!! I love this song and Billy Joel. This IS a masterpiece.

I am listening to this 1993 song in 2024. 😊❤

This guy has got a lot of hits. Amazing

Although the video looks like it was filmed in the south it was actually shot on the Connecticut River. The bridge is the Providence & Worcester railroad bridge in Middletown Ct. Billy Joel was very familiar with the area & chose the locations himself. That's him shown in the little outboard on the river.

Billy Joel is good music!

I prayed for an angel to send me a message in my sleep and I woke up to this song in my head.

Woke up this morning after years of not listening to this song and all of a sudden the lyrics were pouring out. I think my Dad was singing in my ear. God, I miss you.

This was my dad's favorite song, and he passed away recently. This beautiful song is now more precious to me than I ever imagined.

It can only be see n by the eyes of the blind in the middle of the night.

As a child I had a hard time falling asleep at night, especially by myself. My brother used to put this on at night to help me sleep. Still comforting ☺️

Year 2020 and still listening this awesome song !!!!

I hope people finally realize what a musical genius Billy Joel is. He could play every instrument on this trak. Do all the arrangement himself. And still look cool af in a pair of raybans.

Southern Sweden still loves this, in the summer of 2024..! 👍💪👌✌️

Bully Joel never disappoints me.

One of the biggest songs of '92/93. Played all the time on the tv back then. Man, I'm old lol

This is the first song I recall hearing during my childhood. My dad would play it over and over in his truck on the cassette player. I always think of this song when I think about my Dad.

2024 here for this masterpiece

Woke up with this playing in my head at 5am, haven't listened to Joel in years. Been a hard few years and it hit different. I guess it's time to take a walk.

Mr Joel, I am from China and this is the first time I have watched this video, although I have been a big fan of the song previously. I have to admit - the video wasn't what I imagined it to be just listening to the song.. But to me that's the great thing about your music. I appreciate the American motifs you embed in your songs but to me the message in your lyrics transcend the American experience. I just find it fascinating that I as a native Chinese speaker, living in a totally alien culture from you, can find a connection in the words of this song

This song still gives me goosebumps. It's that good. 😊

It’s 2023 and I am here to love this song.

I’ve been a fan of Billy Joel for years, but seeing this video was a reminder of how unfair life is. Specifically, it is not fair that a single individual should be endowed with such remarkable songwriting and musical performance talents. He has produced so much great music that it’s sometimes hard to keep track of it all. Seeing this video reminded me of his creative use of a “gospel-like” backing choir in this terrific song. My thanks to whoever posted the video…and all good wishes to Billy. He is in the Pantheon with great American songwriters like Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin. He is a national treasure.

This whole song came to him in a dream.

My mom loved this song, had it played as we was walking in at her funeral, I sang every word walked out in tears. Love you mother duck xx

What a Great Song! Timeless!

90s kid for life! Simpler times and BETTER MUSIC!

My dad loved this song. I swear only 80s and 90s babies can understand.

It was 1992, I had just come back to the states at 16 years old after living in Southeast Asia for six years. We were in Dedham Massachusetts and my mom‘s brother my uncle, picked us up. As we shut the car doors, uncle Johnny suggested that we go visit “mom“. Grandma Flo died just a few years ago. My mom says yes and we take off in the car. We stop at a donut shop and I don’t have any idea what to get, and my uncle suggest getting a chocolate eclair, because “that’s grandma‘s favorite.” As we get back in the car he turned the radio on. He lit a cigarette and began driving. This song came on the radio. It literally felt like I was in a Hollywood movie. I had such an ecstatic out of body state as we drove down the streets of Boston. Stopping at red lightsAnd then going when the lights turn green. I looked outside seeing America for the first time in six years and realized how beautiful it was. I had forgotten what Massachusetts looked like and that I was American. But now I was back. Everything was perfect. Every time I hear this song it takes me back to that amazing expanded experience.

It's not something I lost it's somebody stole. Truth.

I am 77 yrs old and still enjoying the music that can't be replaced by anything going on now !!!

I'm just here because we need to listen to this song for our english subject but then this song became one of my favorites now😭

See! 1993, the best year for music in the 90's. So diverse. You heard a little bit of everything. This song is undeniable. Can't be a 90's kid and not know this one.

As a middletownian I am proud to say this video was filmed herw

I remember hearing this as a kid, maybe 11 years old then, (it played on the radio in Costa Rica) and being so captivated by the sounds and the soul within it, starting with the percussion track. Only thing was, I could not understand a lick of English then! Fast Forward 10 years and I was in the US, when I heard it by chance on the radio again, I was now able to understand most of the song. Making sense of its lyrics I was able to understand what it said and why it was so touching to me. It felt as if somehow I already knew what it meant, musically speaking. But the lyrics only added more depth to the great emotion and soul of this great song. It always gets me right in the heart.

This is an outstanding song, makes you want to stand up and sing!

"We all end in the ocean We all start in the streams We're all carried along By the river of dreams" My favourite part.
