    コンサートに行ったこと、ビリーのステージでの歌声、楽しいパフォーマンスが忘れられません‼️
    This night 🎵は 中でも大好き🍀😌🍀
    Thank You🎵

    After that modulation on the last verse this song is SO freaking high, and Joel's all over it! He has such excellent timbre and complete control you don't even notice what an incredibly high voice he has.
    BTW, the music to the chorus was written by Beethoven, who gets a credit on the album. the original version was Karl Haas's theme for "Adventures in Fine Music."

      Are you nuts? Billy Joel is far from underrated, he is respected by his peers and loved fiercely by his fans who never strayed from him...You need to do some reading on Mr. Joel. You just don’t sell out Madison Square Garden whenever you feel like it. Only Billy Joel can do that. He will be remembered as a music legend.

    Some musical trivia - the theme from the chorus;
    ("this night is mine - it's only you and I - tomorrow is a long time away - this night can last forever") is taken from Beethoven's Sonata No. 8 Pathetique 2nd movement Op 13.
    He credits lovely Ludwig in the album notes. It's really a beautiful melody and I think Billy has done it justice with a successful borrow from an obviously inspiring composition.

    • @adamkraemer9193
      @adamkraemer9193 2 роки тому +2

      In as far as the entire Innocent Man album was a nod to '50s and '60s songs, his use of a classical melody is (sort of) obviously an homage to "Lovers' Concerto" by The Toys (1965), which was basically a Bach minuet.

    🌸 "This Night"
    Didn't I say
    I wasn't ready for a romance
    Didn't we promise
    We would only be friends
    And so we danced
    Though it was only a slow dance
    I started breaking my promises
    Right there and then
    Didn't I swear
    There would be no complications
    Didn't you want
    Someone who's seen it all before
    Now that you're here
    It's not the same situation
    Suddenly I don't remember the rules anymore
    This night is mine
    It's only you and I
    Tomorrow
    Is a long time away
    This night can last forever
    I've been around
    Someone like me should know better
    Falling in love
    Would be the worst thing I could do
    Didn't I say
    I needed time to forget her
    Aren't you running from someone
    Who's not over you
    How many nights
    Have I been lonely without you
    I tell myself
    How much I really don't care
    How many nights
    Have I been thinking about you
    Wanting to hold you
    But knowing you would not be there
    This night
    You're mine
    It's only you and I
    I'll tell you
    To forget yesterday
    This night we are together
    This night
    Is mine
    It's only you and I
    Tomorrow
    Is such a long time away
    This night can last forever
    Tomorrow
    Is such a long time away
    This night can last forever

    Billy is just breathtaking. He talks about how he feels like women always took advantage of him for his money, and he is finally married to someone for what he believes is true love. I don't know the details of his personal life, but I can only imagine what it must like to be so talented that you never know if you can trust people to want to be with you for who you are or what you have become.

Not even a big Billy fan but this particular concert just captured him and his band at a the peak moment and in inspiring form.

    Billy was thinking in the mode of the 60's song "Lover's Concerto", which is based on a Bach Minuet. Since someone already copped a Bach melody, Billy figured he'd cop a Beethoven melody (and a very beautiful one at that!) The whole "Innocent Man" album is based on his favorite Motown and Stax albums from the 1960's.
