I had amnesia y'all. This was NOT my first reaction to Billy Joel 😅Check out my UPTOWN GIRL reaction from over 2 years ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g1b19YwcJwE.htmlsi=LX82vNHALp8Mm7CC

This is such a great story telling song. This was Billy's first single released in 1973. "Piano Man" is based on Billy Joel's real-life experiences as a lounge musician in Los Angeles. The song is sung from Joel's point of view as a piano player at a bar, reminiscing about his experiences there & the people he encountered.

Fire. Billy Joel IS the Piano Man. One of our most prolific and much-talented composer/singers. Loved him for over 40 years…entire catalog of amazing music. Strong, sweet and soulful.

The most iconic line every songwriter wished they would have written: "And they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinkin' alone...."

Billy wrote this song from life experience. He wrote more then 90% of the songs that he performed.

This is probably the number one song on the list of "Songs that drunk (usually white) people sing loudly". That list includes Sweet Caroline, too.

Great song to start with for Billy Joel, please listen to more, you won't be disappointed and it doesn't really matter what you pick, they're all so different and great in their own way. The man is the real deal. ✌❤

@sarahcharlesworth9544 Месяц назад

OMG! Thank you for reacting to Billy Joel. I grew up listening to him & have been to countless concerts of his. He is a phenomenally talented artist & really doesn’t have a bad song. There is nothing better than standing in a crowd at one of his concerts & he allows the audience to sing the chorus of Piano Man. It’s hard to pick a favorite but my others would be: Movin’ Out; Scenes from an Italian Restaurant; & we didn’t start the fire. His classical music is also a great listen. 😎

@laraismyname821 Месяц назад

There's a video out here on RU-vid somewhere of him performing this song live. And he's playing the harmonica AND the piano parts. The harmonica is in like a harness thing around his neck so it's right in front of his face & he leans in to play it WHILE he's on the piano & singing in between. It's wild how talented he is.

@melissamanning4979 Месяц назад

One of my all time favorite artists. His music collection is unbelievable. He and Ray Charles did a duet called Baby Grand that I love and his oldest daughters middle name is Ray after Ray Charles bc he was a hero of Billy’s. The Longest Time, Goodnight Saigon, Matter of Trust, are some of my favorite songs but people will probably suggest We Didn’t Start The Fire next 😝

Fire to see a reaction that just soaks this up, everyone has a story :)

@karenwalsh1143 Месяц назад

This is Billy Joel's story, he grew up in NY (about 4 miles from me) then moved to California and his job was in a piano bar. Moved back to New York and blew up!!!!! Do "THE STRANGER" or "BILLY THE KID"

@Souzawrites Месяц назад

The song is autobiographical about a time in Joel's career when he was in a contract dispute with his record label and rather than produce music for them under unfair terms, he worked at a piano lounge until his contract with the record label expired - hence the line "Man what are you doing here," because clearly he was too talented to just be playing bars.

@JulesfromHouston Месяц назад

Now you're heading down a rabbit hole. 🤠

@joannparker1977 Месяц назад

Great story telling. It's sad though that so many people go to places like this just to get away. From life. I know, I've done it. And when you wake up the next day hungover to go back to your job, ugh. It's hard. But, somehow that momentary happiness was worth it.

@conniedean1977 Месяц назад

It’s an iconic song, but I remember watching a special episode of “Inside The Actor’s Studio” with Billy Joel, who said that this song has no bridge or key change, so when he walks into a restaurant and a pianist launches into this melody and then realizes…he and Billy lock eyes and then Billy goes 🤷‍♂️

@nancyskomars1230 Месяц назад

Billy is the piano man (Bruce Hornsby is up there too!) Why do they not write music like this anymore? Singers today need to step up with their music, lyrics, vocals and musicality too! This is my generation and we're getting kinda old so we need artists to step up and carry on these traditions. If someone can write songs like this, Gabriel Henrique can sing it for them.

@sylvanaire Месяц назад

I’ve always loved this song, although I never saw the video until much later, as I just wasn’t into watching music on TV. But the lyric and seen that don’t mesh for me is the one where he says the waitress is practicing politics, while the businessman slowly gets stoned. If she was practicing politics, she would let him pat her butt to get good tips, not throw a drink in his lap. When you heard the first strains of the piano, you asked about Ray Charles. Well, he and Billy Joel did a duet together called My Baby Grand. It’s a love song to their pianos and it’s really melancholy in a minor key kind of way. I hope you get a chance to react to it someday. 😊

@williamjones6031 Месяц назад

This was his break-out hit that started his journey to stardom. The story is about the people he met working The Executive Club in LA. My name's not Davy, but I stayed in the Navy for life. I don't regret it because it's the best thing I ever did. This video takes a little of my imagination. Example: A sailor in uniform doesn't need to point it out. "Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."

@renelpatat Месяц назад

My all time fave is The Stranger! It’s a I gotta, there too much truth to it. Piano Man was the first Billy Joel tune I learned to play on the piano but The Stranger is still better! He went on to become one of the most successful artists in history, married Christie Brinkley, the model, they divorced and he’s grown larger than life since! Amazing artist with more talent than most.

@djm0111 Месяц назад

The video to this amazing song is campy, dumb and outdated. But here's what I hate most about it: Just about every reactor gets to the scene of the businessman patting the waitress's ass and they miss the most poignant lyric in the whole song. "They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone" is an amazing line in what is really a very dark song. But the stupid video demands that younger people comment on it, and they rarely get the full impact of that line.
