I went through practically the same thing! If you are still struggling, Billy Joel's "Vienna" is what got me through it. Take care of yourself, hun!

I’m in a somewhat similar situation, I ain’t really been myself for over a year now (I won’t go into details) but this song and ‘Hurt’ by Nine Inch Nails always just help me to vent. Anyway, know you ain’t alone and keep your head up, Queen 👑.

Nice story. Good luck!

Everything will be ok. Life is so scary and stressing, but you'll always get through the scary and hard times. Thinking of you, just remember when your young things sometimes feel like they're never gonna get easier, but they do, and someday it will all be a distant memory and you'll be in a happy place in your life.... love Tracy from Ireland 💞💞💞

it IS going to be ok. The future can be scary but you have so many good things waiting for you.

“And the most she’ll do is throw shadows at you” is my line

Mine is "She'll take what you give her as long as it's free." My mom's quite frugal. 🤣

You know Cassidy its interesting some women find this song sexist!

@divorcedme I know its not sexist but to some girls nowadays every little thing is sexist.

Unless you have multiple personalities like myself and a lot of others...lol this is a BPD anthem....😁

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson may disagree with the lyric "Always a Woman". She can't even define a woman which means she has come to believe truth is fluid. Ketanji, I don't need to be a vet to define a dog.

Indeed 💯 My daughter was texting me parts of his songs and at first I didn't understand but I texted back it's still rock and roll to me... and then go ahead with your own life leave me alone,lol. Her fiance and their little family was out for their Sunday drive and she said she knew every song because of me ❤... now they're asleep I'm sure and I'm still listening, lol. Who needs Christy Brinkley... was that too much 😬

It is pure poetry. I was thinking that just before I saw your comment! 😊

Maybe after Dylan the best

A Muzak version, if Wikipedia is correct.

I know, its chilling.

Absolutely, one of the greatest love songs ever

My favorite

Honestly even I can use this song if I change woman to gentleman (or just stick with woman, ill take either lol)

Awwww! I'm sorry to hear he's gone. Bless your heart

That is true beauty.

I am so very sorry for your loss. He is waiting for you up in heaven and will greet you when you transition. These bodies are only temporary just like this world. It’s just an experience till we go to heaven and live forever. I am very sorry for your pain. Our souls live forever nothing here is forever but heaven is forever. God bless

You will be with him again....take it from someone who has Clairaudience...they're there..Allllll of our loved ones. Don't EVER doubt it. I hope that makes you smile because it's the truth. God Bless You!

Your comment touched me ...

Thank you ❤

I do; I still have the original DVD that CNN put out, and you can hear the Muzak version of this song playing on a speaker as the dust and debris continued to fall ! 😢

No they are talking about the Jack Tailercio footage. @@David-fe4ne

Made me think of the musicians on the Titanic. It’s like the music is playing going down with the buildings

@@jesusgonzalez-acton8045 Jack Tailercio never went near the North Tower, nor did he catch anyone actually impacting the ground. The closest to that was catching a man falling, but thats it. If there was more footage from him, which there likely isnt, it would by held by NIST, who has already released all of his footage.

​@@tigerwareagle1485 If titanic had nearer my God to thee, the WTC's Twin Towers have; she's always a woman :(

Well said....the music of Gen X is the best out there, imo.🤷🏽‍♀️ Peace🎶🎵🎶🌻

You mean Baby Boomers in Billy Joel's case. Child of from post WW2 - Levittown and such

@@CraigHaywardWBBuffalo gen x is 1965-1980. Billy Joel is a baby boomer, however his music was released during gen x. .....

This is such a beautiful comment

Great insight. The astronomer Owen Gingerich (no relation to the Newt, thankfully) calls it our "dappled" universe.

Thats deep! ❤

Astute.

Nope.

I will have to take you court for stealing my thoughts... but I won't you've have organized them in better way and you've written them down. So I thank you!

She can make it hell or heaven for him, not the world.

Usually hell

Hell only if you allow her.

if someone is that fucking fickle, don't make a goddamned mysterious shroud about her; she just doesn't like you that much! get some self-respect and move on, for chrissakes.

Still sad

Bless you for hanging in there with your mom. My husband says this song perfectly describes me. "She'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding " yet he stuck by me for 32 years now. I was diagnosed with bipolar later in life and suddenly my life made sense. Be her ride or die, we all need one. God bless you both...peace🌝🌻

I saw that video, this was playing while the cameraman was filming the plaza covered in debris, what I think of every time I hear this song:(

Always remind me of that clip ever since

Oh wow!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

That’s why I’m here

yup

😔😔

I saw the video of it from 9/11 and thought the music sounded familiar. So I tried to find out the name of the song and here I am.

That's right! It's so unbelievable that people died while this song was playing, I always feel a certain way when I listen to this 😢💔

I'm part of the WTCMC (World Trade Center Muzak Community) and we have found most of the songs that would have played on the Austin J. Tobin Plaza that day.

​@@JessicaKasumi1990oh hey, I'm also in that community too

I know right ! So surreal ! 😢

Perhaps not the greatest. One of the greatest, no doubt, tho.

Without Paul McCartney this song doesn't exist. Notice any similarities in style?

Personally, I hate the Beatles. It's always been Bread and Billy Joel for me

@@BunniesXO wow, how can Someone hate "Hey Jude", "Back in the USSR", "She Loves You"? However I respect your opinion, peace. Oh, and Billy Joel himself Is a die-hard Beatles fan!

I agree. The same sensitivity as Paul McCartney in "For No One" song (for example). The same beauty of harmonies.

your the boss mate

Just read Billy's bio bloody hell hes been through alot

Copypaste?

@@Slurreo they always are...

You have great taste in music....70's 80's and early 90's was a great time for music....everything from the Doors to Prince to Billy Joel....can't beat them, and so much more.🤷🏽‍♀️🎶🎵🎶🌝

Hearing a body slam into the ground about 6 seconds after the person started filming inside the plaza with the music is sickening. That footage has stuck with me for a while

I’m the same age and feel exactly the same way. I love Vienna and really wish there was a billy joel for us. At least we have this one and honestly nothing can beat him :)

@@alisharashid737 for sure

@Akın Güneroğlu and @Alisha Rashid There _is_ a Billy Joel for us, and it's this one. He's still around and always will be around, whenever we need him to be :)

I thought I was the only one, I’m 23 now but I discovered Billy Joel at 15 years old and I couldn’t explain then why I am so touched by his music but as my life has developed I know completely understand his artistic value. I saw him in concert at age 18, I was probably the only Mexican boy by himself there at least it felt that way to me. I will always remember his concert.

Hi dear everyone has different opinion on this song there's sometimes a deep story or a misunderstood friendship behind it all some people mix up love and friendship

If the towers were still standing today I would have loved to visit them, they were such beautiful buildings. It is sad how they took a decade to build and only minutes to destroy them.

@@flimain6002 I think all of us would love to have a flashback in the 90’s… If only we had the opportunity to go there for an afternoon and spend an evening at the WTC Plaza or the old Twin Towers Observatory & Windows on the World for a drink…. Its so sad these gorgeous Towers are missing from the NY Skyline…

Damn, that could imply that "She Always a Woman" and "How deep is your love" were one of the last songs people heard before death and chaos.

These sounds are like the last song played by the Titanic musicians before the final plunge.

How is that ironic?

Must sound good on cello!

I can only imagine it's beautiful

But you still need the piano accompaniment? Would not sound complete without the harmony😊

Well said well bloody said for real

Really? I don't hear the lyrics as angry at all. I think you're misinterpreting. I hear understanding admiration. I hear recognition of her humanity. He sees her power and her flaws. He's saying she possesses these wonderful and tragic qualities all at once. He respects her for them and loves her despite them.

theres no correct interpretation i think. one of the comments accurately pinpointed that the interpretation an change depending on the woman in the listener's life. I hear fluidity of a person since this is what i have experienced. sometimes i am kind but i dont consider myself a kind person because i am also selfish at times. the lyrics are reallya piece of art to bring out so much diverse interpretation.

yea... she's always a succubus to me 🤣

​@@masterchiefer25 I think you nailed it.....

@@masterchiefer25 i think you pretty much summed it up. No anger, just a little bit of regret.

I think the line is made better if you take the previous one into account; "She can wait if she wants." It's like being ahead of her time gives her the liberty to wait for everybody else to catch up. :)

And "How Deep Is Your Love" was also playing, while a man was falling to his death from the Tower 😢 it feels so spooky listening to both of those song that played during the chaos 💔

imagine a Paul and Billy collab?!!!! :o

@@georgesmitherson4721 they did sing together

Billy was heavily influenced by the beatles so, makes sense.

I've also seen Billy quoted as saying this song came about because he "wanted to write a song that [he] thought a guy like Gordon Lightfoot would sing."

It truly is!

One of the finest ballads ever composed and written. Chapeau, Mr. Joel!

We will spend together me and you enjoying the sound of billy joel.

Thanks for the love 😘 where are you from?

Victoria Susan Baldwin That made me smile. I'm only 22, but in early highschool, I had a friend (who I wound up in a short relationship with) who was raised unbelievably religiously and her parents were so incredibly protective and at 14, all she was allowed to watch were Christian films and Veggie Tales. So we'd have movie nights and watch Harry Potter together and Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, or other movies deemed too "evil" by her parents. Movies were a whole new world to her. God, that was nearly a decade ago. Miss you Alyssa. hope all is well for you out there. You're always a friend to me.

Dang. I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy it until 19 but glad you're making for it with lots of listening to much beautiful music!

She loved me when she killed six and became a sheriff and the deputy is well Andy Taylor proof and whistle to the inside of a barn it's well the best on top metal and then it well stays there so Santa Clause finds a well wife. She well spits and then she eats rocks for the rock star in my tights like the Saint Teresa's just well true in the sad face of a well horse who couldn't move any worse then well he held the sun always and then the well flowers were dead anyway name them or well keep the well so perfect from well the well cut and they all look like mine.

Pamela Howe Eleven and above the any world is a universe of mine. a Animal proof try directing them once, they well cry alot.

What is the oriville

Well you see this is the difference between a writer/singer and a simple singer. People who write their own music that is meaningful to them personally make fantastic music, the issue with the modern music industry is that it has made music into a simple consumer product, there is no real soul to it, in the modern music labels most folks are only interested on getting a paycheck.

I first went there myself in 1991-92 and it was amazing place. Were going thru the process of immigration and once done, me and her will be together and marry finally. Sometimes it takes time to grow and realize you have something wonderful, one day you have it and next you wake up and its gone. My heartfelt sympathies out to you and have a good life in the Philippines.

Ok yes! Why does this song feel so sad? Maybe you have a real reason but I can't find anything in the song that should make me sad but it still makes me feel something deeply. Annoying that I can't quite put my finger on what. Maybe it's just the rolling notes that go a bit higher on the second pairs just like when you're running out of air while crying.
