Lyrics:
Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on
Well, we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger

Agreed. This is an album which has been so dangerously open to being a caricature of itself, and that goes back 40+ years. It still stands, and I say that from my first memory of hearing it when the 8-track from Columbia Music Club was unwrapped. (Thanks Mom!)

Billy Joel revealed in an interview that he no longer performs the "The Stranger" Song in Concert, and hasn't done for Years. He states that the reason is that his Band Musicians always pull funny faces, put on silly masks or hats and do whatever it takes to make him laugh. As a result, he is incapable of whistling the Introduction to this Song because they always make him crack up.

You should know by now You've been there yourself Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer Then I came home to a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed her for a reason She refused to even answer It was then I felt the stranger Kick me right between the eyes Well we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger?

@@Howie875 yeah, was a big hit during the war. Understandably, for those who left loved ones behind. My father died back in 2015, I came back from the war, previously joking about his fighting the Battle of Fort Dix, as he had earlier lied about his age to join the Marines and just before ship-out, my grandmother arrived and told the Corps she never signed him in and he was under age. So, he had to wait to be of age to join the Army, waivered in and went 82nd Airborne. By the time he finished training, the war was over and he was assigned to Fort Dix. Came back from our recent wars and told him, with "The Stranger" eyes, "You didn't miss anything fun or especially worthy". He never asked about my experiences, which I only ever told my wife some of the worst. My wife got to see The Stranger once, a violent crime was being attempted against us and I reacted to counter and end the threat. She was literally the only person on this planet that could stop me from killing the bastard. Suffice it to say, the ne'er-do-well won't attempt to do ill violently again, but the last time I looked, still is alive and doing better. Just with one limb not working at all and another working not exceptionally well. Living in a rather, erm, colorfully interesting neighborhood (not racial, but, well mixed and with a thriving criminal element due to inner city politics and policing insanity (we literally were the disciplinary district, all fuck-ups got assigned to us, as well as corrupt cops that are about to be either fired or prosecuted successfully), a few neighbors got to see that side of me. After seeing The Stranger, they avoided me. Pity, I missed babysitting their kids. My usual name for that side is, The Monster. Rules of engagement, end the fight right now, as ugly as possible and there are no rules. But then, I was dealing with terrorists, who didn't sign the Geneva or Hague Conventions. So, I literally terrorized actual terrorists. My preferred interaction, enter village, conduct a recipe exchange. Find common ground is the 101 of early contact, build upon that and well, we all eat and enjoy new tasty foods. Being a reformed chef, that's second nature to me anyway. Being of Sicilian familial stock, spices and me are ancient friends. As well as a fairly well intermixed cultural exchange from Islamic occupation of the island. Jesus, this is the most I've said about the general experience in around a decade. Must be getting soft in my elderhood.

So I was playing it at a dinner, and my Dad looked up and told me how all the old asian movies he's watched in his childhood (he's almost 49) said that this would always play during a scene of romance so he thought the artist was always asian but it was in fact Billy Joel.

You're quite keen. I remember when I was 14 I struggled a lot with trusting people because of the many levels of secrecy, privacy, lying, and self-deception literally everyone is constantly immersed in. I'm autistic and very literal, scientific, and can be extremely perceptive. That not only would there be so much omission of truth, but that there could be an entire other self inside the people around me (though I later learned that the creation of sub-agentic cognitive structures is almost never so dramatic as involving disconnected alternate personalities and in fact it's quite common for people to, for example, fill different social roles within different groups of people and the whole thing can be quite quotidien and normal) was a deeply disturbing thought. Actually, it still is. Goodbye.

I came here because of Dr. Romantic 3. Master Kim used to play this song. My heart was already overwhelmed when the series started because I knew then that the inspiring lessons that Master Kim would always impart would come too. Nonetheless, this song is full of good messages too. It only inspires me so much to go on with my medical journey. Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south Every now and then🎶🎶

My gosh the MEMORIES of my childhood are so powerful when I listen to this!!! I can literally SEE my older brothers playing stickball in the street in front of our house, while I, the little sister, sit on the curb next to the 8 track player, playing this entire album. These memories are GOLDEN to me and I have a tear in my eye while I type this. ❤️

I've loved Billy for all of my adult life. Understandably, as a Brit in my early 30s, I have barely any peers who appreciate his talents. Now with the success of The Boys, younger audiences will see Billy as more than just 'Uptown Girl'.

[Verse 1] Well, we all have a face That we hide away forever And we take them out and show ourselves When everyone has gone Some are satin, some are steel Some are silk and some are leather They're the faces of a stranger But we'd love to try them on [Chorus] Well, we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger? Did you ever let your lover See the stranger in yourself? [Post Chorus] Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south every now and then You've done it Why can't someone else? You should know by now You've been there yourself [Verse 2] Once I used to believe I was such a great romancer Then I came home to a woman That I could not recognize When I pressed her for a reason She refused to even answer It was then I felt the stranger Kick me right between the eyes [Chorus] Well, we all fall in love But we disregard the danger Though we share so many secrets There are some we never tell Why were you so surprised That you never saw the stranger? Did you ever let your lover See the stranger in yourself? [Post Chorus] Don't be afraid to try again Everyone goes south every now and then You've done it Why can't someone else? You should know by now You've been there yourself [Verse 3] You may never understand How the stranger is inspired But he isn't always evil And he is not always wrong Though you drown in good intentions You will never quench the fire You'll give in to your desire When the stranger comes along

I have known and liked this song my whole life (I was born in 1980) and then it came on at the bar I work at a couple of weeks ago and it hit a whole different way. This song is A MASTERPIECE inside and out, lyrically and musically just really captures the sound of the late 70's soft rock meets disco vibe. By far my favorite Billy Joel song.

This song made me go back in time clearly when I was a baby and my mom was always listening to this album at home, with big speakers. She was in her 20s, always singing. I never got tired of this album and now I'm 36 and I'm a drummer. Liberty always big influence. My mom now is on her 60s I wish I could go back again and see her again singing at home. Time goes fast and death will arrive one day. Listening to this again made me more real and wannna visit my parents soon. Thanks Billy for this great great music!

The post-chorus/bridge ("don't be afraid to try again...") always brings a weird smirk on my face, that almost feels like a defense mechanism to stop my eyes from welling up... I can't explain it better than that. It's true that almost all of Billy's songs stir up a multitude of feelings, emotions, and involuntary reactions, in ways that very few (if any) other songwriters are able to. He's a genius.
