A slow Billy Joel song that isn't often reacted to: And so it goes. Very heartfelt and vulnerable.

Billy Joel has resumed his residency at Madison Square Garden, where he's been selling out since 2014. He's performed roughly 180 concerts and every one is sold out. Where other acts retire to Las Vegas, Billy holds it down at the concert mecca, MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN NEW YORK CITY 😎🎶🎤

Here's a warning for you about Billy Joel - he had *a ton* of hits that have become standard love ballads, like Just the Way You Are, She's Always a Woman, She's Got a Way, Honesty, and so on. You might get the wrong idea that he writes a lot of elevator music love songs. And he has written some good ones. But don't get the impression that he doesn't know how to rock. He totally does. Billy Joel fans can tell you what else he's got - Big Shot, Angry Young Man, Pressure, Only the Good Die Young, A Matter of Trust, River of Dreams, My Life ... and some of the album cuts like Stiletto and Close to the Borderline. Don't put this guy in a box, and you'll find a ton of music that you'll probably like.

As you get older, and are married for years, this song carries a lot more weight. This was popular when my wife and I were teens. We’ve been married 41 years, I’ve gone through a Marine Corps career of 22 years, she’s been a banker for 30. I have leukemia from Camp Lejeune, neither of us are they way we were, but we still love each other like back then.

My sister and I still bless my mother for letting us go see the "52nd Street" tour in OKC. Billy destroyed that night! We found out much later in life my mother was a fixture at the Louisiana Hayride concert scene during the 50's. She knew Elvis through a mutual friend in Shreveport (we have the photo) and conned her way backstage at a Ricky Nelson concert by posing as a high school newspaper reporter with granny glasses that burst into tears when told her name wasn't on the list. After high school she moved to New Orleans and became a dance instructor. Carol Ann was a very cool chick and I can't listen to Bill Joel without thinking of her.

When I was in the Navy I was stationed at COMNAVFORJAPAN in Yokosuka Japan which is outside of Tokyo. I was fortunate enough to see Billy Joel May 1984 live at the Budokan in Tokyo. The Budokan at that time had some of the best acoustics in the world. It was fantastic and the sax player was out of this world. I even got to meet his wife at that time Christie Brinkley.

Billy Joel could be a major rabbit hole for you. So many great songs. If you want some more of the slower Billy Joel songs, any of these would be great to react to next: Honesty, She's Always A Woman, New York State of Mind, Honesty, Innocent Man, Vienna, She's Got A Way. Moving away from the slower songs, here are some other great Billy songs to react: Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, Only The Good Die Young, You May Be Right, My Life, Tell Her About It, Say Goodbye to Hollywood, The Stranger, Pressure, Big Shot, Movin Out, and A Matter of Trust. Even with all those suggestions, there are still quite a few more great songs worth reacting to.

I played tenor sax 8th - 12th grades and practiced more with Billy Joel than any other artist because he had more tenor saxophone usage in his songs than anyone else. Richie Cannata was Billy's saxophonist from 1975 to 1981, which was the timeframe of greatest sax solos in Billy's recording career. They were his best albums in my opinion, and he was consistently in the top ten for album sales. If you want to see Billy and his band performing live back in those days, check out "Billy Joel - New York State of Mind (from Old Grey Whistle Test.)" It was filmed in England on BBC in 1978. It really shows off Billy's skills on piano and Richie's sax skills in extended solos. You'll probably hear the influence of Ray Charles on Billy.

Starting from the, "Don't go trying some new fashion" there is a big 'angelic' sounding background. which gets louder through the verse. That was taken from another band called 10CC, and the song "I'm not in love". If you get a chance, check that song out. It's worth a react. and once you hear it, you'll get what I meant about the 'angelic' background.
