Britt, Alexa is the name of the boat in the song. (Happens to be Billy's Eldest Daughter's name. She is also a music performer) A DownEaster is a Type of boat. This song was sung from the perspective of a Bayman slowly losing his livelihood to Large Commercial Fisheries and their Overfishing. That and the pollution of our waterways killing off shellfish! Billy was Born in the Bronx, but Raised in Hicksville. (I'm from Massapequa, Now in NC.) Billy went to Congress and pushed for them to put limits on the amounts the large companies could take out. He Fought to get the Waters cleaned up and the shellfish "reseeded". While fishing is doing better, it is still nowhere near where it should be!
@kevinstarr516
A downeaster is a fishing boat. And Alexa is the name of his daughter who is also a musical artist. And Billy Joel is actually from the Bronx.
@jesseheiman1806
To answer your question, a Downeaster is a type of fishing boat that is named after Billy's daughter. Alexa. This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. There were a lot of his songs that were more successful, but this one hits my heart. a little more. The pace of the music feels like waves on the ocean. Billy still performs and sells out Madison Square Garden for a monthly concert. He sells out every seat except for the front row. He will have his security people bring people down from the worst seats in the house to take those front row seats. He said that he wanted real fans in the front row, not just some rich folks who are just there for the appearance of being in the front row of a concert.
@MBighk
The violinist is Jean Luc Ponty, who was not a member of Billy's band; this is likely a special appearance. Jean Luc had a successful jazz career and albums of his own.
@justmoose6534
Love your Billy Joel deep dive. With your background, you'd love his "New York State of Mind"
@sykipp4281
The "Downeaster Alexa" is a commercial fishing vessel. I spent over 3 years from October 1972 to February 1976, in the U.S. Coast Guard on the North Atlantic doing Search and Rescue iout of Gloucester, Massachusetts and Fishery Patrols out of Governor's Island, New York. I saw how much the North Atlantic Ocean was over-fished by countries from all over the world! I drank with Gloucester fisherman and if you remember the "Perfect Storm" aka. the storm with no name, the ship I served on, USCGC Tamaroa WMEC 166, out of Governor's Island, went out to rescue the sailboat crew and the helicopter crew that ditched. Hell hath no fury like the North Atlantic in March!!!!! My hat's off to those who fish the oceans for a living!!!!
@byefron6613
If you want to hear a song with lyrics that paint a picture and break your heart, listen to Goodnight Saigon. His voice is fantastic, but the story he tells paints a picture that is like no other. If you like his songwriting and storytelling, this song is for you.
@philliphampton5183
Downeaster Alexa is the name of his boat. The song is about a dying commercial fishing industry which has always been a staple of the north east. “They say these waters aren’t what they used to be” is still being said. And it’s not so much about the ocean but more about shoreline development and now offshore wind farms etc. As a mere 31 year old who used to make my living in the fleet, the industry is still being killed. Thats what the song is about. But the long liners, drag netters, scallopers, clammers etc are still sailing out day in and out risking their lives to feed the masses. While society turned their backs and makes it increasingly impossible.
@maureencollins5177
A Downeaster is fishing boat used in the Northeast, similar to a Maine lobster boat. The name of the boat he sings about is Alexa, which is his daughter's name. And yes, between climate change, overharvesting, and runoff pollution the seafood industry is suffering. Billy was born in the Bronx but grew up in Hicksville in Nassau County. On the original recording the violin solo was performed by Itzhak Perlman.
@greendragonpublishing
He was born in the Bronx, but moved to Long Island pretty quickly. He's well known enough in NY to sell out TWELVE shows in Madison Square Gardens, when he hadn't even released a new album in 13 years. (This broke the record previously held by Bruce Springsteen). He was in the last concerts at Shea Stadium. He played a 'residency' series of concerts at Madison Square Gardens from 2012 through 2024, after his 100th performance there. He still lives on Long Island (either Oyster Bay or Sag Harbor, not sure which).
@sandrajewitt6050
You should listen to his song, Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel). He wrote it for his daughter when she was about 7. He and his former wife were about to break up. His daughter asked him, "What happens when you die?" The song is his response.
@etc7070
Billy the Joel, people's entertainer. You nailed it. Also, hey you're a Long Islander! As others will tell you Billy was born in the Bronx but moved to Long Island as a child and still has an extremely deep connection to it. He grew up in Levittown, has/had homes in Oyster Bay, the Hamptons, Montauk. Anyway, this is a GREAT song to belt out at the top of your lungs. Other songs written from the perspective of "the people": Allentown (steelworkers), Goodnight Saigon (soldiers in the Vietnam war), Leningrad (contrasting his upbringing with that of a friend he made in the Soviet Union). And can I just say I'm loving your Billy Joel journey.
@piperbird7193
This is my all time favorite Billy Joel song. I can't get through it without sobbing.
@WmTRiker
Britt, all of Billy's songs are ballads which tell interesting stories. Some others that are definitely worth a listen are "Allentown", Goodnight Saigon", "Lullabye (Good Night My Angel)", "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant"and many more.
@reneerocha1796
Am so PUMPED to see you discovering Billy Joel and what a legend he is…..❤❤❤❤
@debbiehanson9201
Billy Joel deserves a great deal of credit for all the opportunities he gives the individual musicians in his band to shine. It's consistently been a part of his performances and recordings.
@sly2797
Hey, a long islander! Currently living in Islip!😊 Yes, Billy is from Long Island
@farfromperfek
Billy was born the Bronx but raised in Long Island. I was born in Long Beach, Long Island.
@edugator6
Yes, girl! Long Guy-land. Born in East Meadow and lived in Plainview. Also Fire Island. Loving your Billy Joel dive. And other reactions of course too! Thanks. ❤
@howtodoitdude1662
Billy is a versatile musician. He plays the piano, all types of keyboards, the harmonica, the guitar, the accordion. I’ve also seen him live playing the drums in concert! He also uses his voice as an instrument tuning it to fit the style of his songs.
