Billy Joel is a Grammy winning song writer and performer. He is also in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You might like: We Didn't Start the Fire, She's Always a Woman, and Only the Good Die Young.

@@vohbovohborian28 Yes, but it can still be slang--most (all?) languages have slang. Here's a definition: "a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people." I think the use of "bread" for money fits that.

@vohbovohborian28 2 жыл бұрын

@@donnahughs9749 I think this is much more of an idiom than slang. The use of bread as an equivalent for money is extremely old. I believe that it is already referred to as such in the bible (give us this day our daily bread = give us what we actually need to exist). At least in Dutch this is a very common way to refer to money, and I'm sure it is the same in many other languages.

Twon, you have opened another deep hole of great music. Billy Joel is a fantastic ride. Just a few titles to get you started: More than a woman to me We didn't start the fire Pressure Allentown Just the way you are Tell her about it Keeping the faith You may be right, I may be crazy Uptown girl A New York State Of Mind That should get you started. But remember that is only the tip of the iceberg. Billy Joel was huge in the 80's. One of my absolute favorites. You'll like him, great story teller. Also get ready and start listening to Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen.

@akastarchild 3 жыл бұрын

@kevin mcconnell I feel you bro. But since he noted that Piano Man was made in 1973, and me saying he was huge in the 80's; I figured he would realize that Billy continue on through to the 80's and into the 90,s. Do we really have to spell out everything?

Billy Joel's lyrics alone, even without the music, would make top notch poetry. He tells a story and really makes you feel like you're there. And on top of that, his song writing is incredible in every way. His melodies, his harmonies, the song forms, everything. I think it's safe to say there's never been a bigger talent than him. If you get a chance, check out and react to She's Always a Woman. That's another favorite of his!

This was his first hit. He never looked back. Pre-Covid, he was playing at Madison Square Garden once a month, he holds the record with 77 sold out shows at that venue. He will be adding to that record he is scheduled to appear Nov and Dec 2021 and Jan, Feb, March & April of 2022. These are to make up the six shows that were cancelled due to COVID. That will put him at 83 sold out shows and you know he is going to break 100 by August 2023. I saw him there in February of 2018 and I il see him again on my next New York City holiday, maybe in August 2023 :)

Billy Joel songs: A Matter Of Trust An Innocent Man Back In The Ussr Ballad Of Billy The Kid For The Longest Time Honesty "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me" Just The Way You Are "Leave A Tender Moment Alone" Matter Of Trust Modern Woman New York State Of Mind "Only The Good Die Young" "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" "She's Always A Woman To Me" Tell Her About It The Entertainer We Didn't Start The Fire

"It's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete/When I wore a younger man's clothes" is such a great line. And the older I get, the better it is. And "bread" was a common term for money in the 60s and 70s.

@scrapper3494 3 жыл бұрын

There's some truly wonderful and descriptive turns of phrase in this song. "Paul is a real estate novelist, who never had time for a wife," paints a picture of a guy working hard in the real estate business, having it take up far too much of his time, and writing bits of a story that he yearns to publish yet deep down knows he never will, all in a single line. "Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, But it's better than drinking alone," is an image that struck me as so sad and heartbreaking when I first heard it in the early 1980s, and still does to this day.

In a number of interviews Billy Joel has stated that 'We Didn't Start the Fire' is one of his least favourite songs, yet with its catchy music and succinct historical statements it really caught people's attention, to the point where lots of people mentioned they've had to look up incidents or people mentioned in the song ( for example I had to search to find out who Syngman Rhee, Chou En-Lai and Starkweather were when I heard it). Something that's equally noteworthy about it is how many people have posted KZfaq videos with them singing their own lyrics to the original music. Either they're singing about more recent historical events, or about other topics - there must be hundreds of videos of "We Didn't start the Virus" about COVID-19 set to Billy's music.

The way I've come to see this song is that it's about how we all have our own ideas about where we want to be in life or what we want to achieve, and bring ourselves down because we compare ourselves to our highest ideal self. And that we tend to think that's just us, when in reality everyone relates to that to some degree- and it's a personal journey we all go through in our own way, and in the end does it even matter if we can be happy with each other as the people we are today?
