My younger daughter had very troubled teenage years, full of anxiety, depression and self harm. I sent her this song and said it made me think of her and when she listened to it, she just cried. She is now a wonderful, confident, clever and beautiful young woman in her mid 20s but every time I hear this song, it brings the tears. Great cover, many thanks.

I'm not a young man. And last year, I was listening to this song a whole bunch for some reason (I wouldn't have thought of it as my favorite Joel song)-- but I thought a kind of bookend would be to alter the lyrics to fit the same narrator, talking to the same person, but toward the end of the second person's life, and making that second person more reflective of what's happened since that song came out. (I also had the anxiety, depression, and self harm). Perhaps extra poetic that he wrote this about his father. Here. You can be the only person that will ever see this (if that). The phrasing is a bit off, but works if you find it: Hurry up, you lazy child You were kinda ambitious for a little while And we know you're so smart But also know you're really afraid You put out the fire, gained worry and doubt There's a lot less to you since it burned you out So much you won't do and Oh too many hours in the day-ay-ay And now that the truth is told You didn't get what you want But you sure got old You never really kicked off and now your time is almost due I think you realize.. Vienna wasn't for you Hurry up; you've still got time You could be much more than jokes After a bot'le of wine. It's just not that romantic to be borderline for life "A shame", describes the life you lead There's panic and sadness and unmet need You always thought you were wrong And wouldn't stand up for what's right You had no passion, you had no pride There was never any hope of being satisfied Live on, and those debts will all come due Why don't you realize.. Vienna's not for you Hurry up, you lazy child Your phone hasn't rung in a very long while So what? It's not like it bothers you I think you realize... Vienna don't want you And now that the truth is told You didn't get what you want And you got so old You never really kicked off and now your time is almost through-ooh-ooh Now that you realize... Vienna's not for you When did you realize.. Vienna ain't for you?

@@Kauffy901 Hi Kauffy901. I'm so sorry to hear that you suffered similar mental health problems to my daughter and I hope this song, in all its forms, brings you some solace. You obviously have a way with words/lyrics and I feel humbled that you felt you could share this work with me. Take care and all the best.
