Who else is here because Billy Joel said this is his favorite song while on the Grammys red carpet. I love and grew up listening to B.J. I Iove all his music.
@@nancywright4430 First heard the song around '89-'90 in high school during a senior class assembly, but it's definitely something you don't hear often. I know I hadn't in at least 25 years. It was a great song for that moment in the episode....
Before This is Us, the song was Denny Crane's theme song on Boston Legal. The song's lyrics fit Denny's struggle with not only the shadow of memory loss but the still strong knowledge of who he had once been.
Many years past your post. I do hope you have found some peace and solis in your life. Your not alone my brother. Keep your eyes on the prize. Life is precious. Period!!
In a recent interview with Howard Stern, he explained that the song was about a model he really liked, who went to Europe and became very successful, and when she returned to NYC, he hoped to continue a strong romance but it was not going to be.
My dad showed me this song when I was very young, but I never really cared for Billy until a few years ago when my dad passed. I looked through his old Vinyls and found a little gem named "Storm Front." I cried for a good while. I sang this song at one of my choir concerts in high school for him, and cried again when I went to my first concert, and the crowd sang this song into the open night sky. I love Billy Joel now, almost as much as I love my dad. Thanks Billy, thanks for reminding me of an old friend, and an even better father.
I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of his classic compositions ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
For me the line is "And you can have this heart to break". The vulnerability in that line gets me. He's giving her his heart, knowing that she might turn it down, knowing that she might break it, knowing the pain it would cause him, but willing to risk it.
@@chrisgeorge4325 Really? I am a BIG fan but Billy's voice is just OK and the entire song is the same cord and a monotone voice. I would say it is one of his worst songs. The lack of play time and down loads in the world agree with me. He likes it because he rarely sings it at concerts because no one likes it.
There's something about the tentative pacing of the chords that really speaks to the insecurity of the narrator and makes the whole piece so much more vulnerable and amazing.
He wrote this song about a relationship he was in with a young model at the beginning of her career, and he knew he felt more for her than she did for him and that she wouldn't stay. The chords are called "unresolved" -- some he resolved with a single note after the chord, others he left unresolved. Just as his love was unresolved.
+Judi Bulanowski He created his music first then wrote the lyrics which everyone says is backwards but I think the music will tell you the words if you really listen. I think Billy Joel is a great listener
My fiance and best friend died suddenly on March 26, 2018 from a heart attack the week we were moving in together. I dedicate this song to her now and forever.
I am an eighty two year old woman who still sings and enjoys beautiful music and I will be singing this very shortly in our music club concert. One of my favourites!
That's why I'm here now, listening to this song. Of all the many episodes of This is Us, who knew that the one about Miguel would be the most gut wrenching of all. The deeply meaningful words of this song was so apropos. Rebecca and Miguel gave their hearts to each other when no one else approved but in the end, it didn't matter. Miguel never left her side. And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you, soon, I suppose...
I’d never heard this song until I watched This Is Us. It made me weep. It touched my heart so deeply. I told my husband I want that song for my funeral. I’m including it in my funeral program.
A girl I briefly dated in the summer of 93 played this to me before she went off to college. She was one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever known. Every so often, I listen to this song and think of simpler times with her. Far away from these complicated times.
I hear you and understand. Somethimes I wonder do we make things more complicated than what they are. Learning to let go of what we can't have is a freedom we can only give ourselves.
it's funny, i dated a girl briefly, only a few short months till she left to college, this isn't one of the songs she showed me but it does make me think of her, I do miss her sometimes. iv'e accepted it and I think I've moved on okay, its been longer since we've last spoke than we dated, but I do think of how much she did for me personally, ya know? so far the healthiest relationship i'd ever seen in my 18 years of being around here on earth, and I'm nothing but grateful for how it helped me, how she helped me like myself a little more, and taught me about what I'm deserving of in a relationship. did you ever fully move on, sir? do you miss her still?
The words, the piano chords, are like drops of blood from a heart, a heart that failed.. This song is the saddest, most beautifully, and painfully truthful, of any I have ever heard. He is a genius, of pain.

Couldn't agree more. This song is perfection, in the depth of its lyric and simplicity of its melody. It's like a hymn of the heart...reminds me of the Gettysburg Address - says so much in so few words. Just genius...
Jennifer Felix I remember in like 2009 or 2010 he had an interview with Howard Stern on the radio, and Howard asked Joel what he thought his most unappreciated song was. Joel was about to say something but stopped himself, then played And So It Goes on the piano.
My husband’s declining health and current hospitalization brought me here this morning- I hear the refrain - And so it goes, and so it goes- Day 30 - ICU. Writing another update to my 3 closest friends- every day it’s more of the same - with very slow gains . “Recovery” will bring us both challenges - adapting to andas needs for assistance and accepting this is a there will be more until the inevitable.
Saying prayers for you and your husband. My hubs spent 2 weeks in ICU so I know how you feel. Unfortunately, mine didn’t make it home. We lost him 6 years ago. I pray for health and happiness for your family. You’ve got this! ❤
I am here because I heard this beautiful song on The Lost Letter Mystery's. I didn't know who sang it, never heard it before. I so love it now. Wish I had heard it years ago.Love to you all.
My deepest sympathies are with you. You wrote this post 9 months ago. I pray that you are surrounded by love and support wherever you are in this arc of life. ❤️🫂
When I divorced my husband, my mother came over, said nothing & played this I’ve never cried so hard, I’m 6’3” & I broke down in my moms arms I still cry when I hear this 🥺🥹🥺
In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along [Verse 2] I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense [Chorus] And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose [Verse 3] But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break [Chorus] And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows [Verse 4] So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break [Outro] And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows
I've always liked Billy Joel's music however I never really listened to this song or knew the lyrics until now- simple, poignant and straight to the heart.
@@janetmajor1152 ....Funny thing is this, my wife and I were watching this episode and I fell asleep but this song woke me up.......I had to rewind the show a couple of times and finally pulled the song up on youtube and have played it almost everyday......we "hear' alot of songs but when you can 'feel' the song, its special
It was a GREAT episode…. However it totally makes sense that it would have been a classic song from Billy Joel that brought the well of tears out of my eyes!! I am really going to miss This is US! 💙 Every episode, every season… well done!!
"And So It Goes" In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes
I just watched This is Us on my DVR. I always loved this song but it absolutely kicked my ass tonight. I'm a 54 year old man ugly crying at the end of a TV show. It was just so damn visceral. Thanks Billy. RIP Miguel.
“And you can have this heart to break.” For me, this song embodies courageous vulnerability. Despite every past loss, I will rise again and open my heart to love again. And again. Come what may. By far my favorite Billy Joel song. Sublime.
Hey hello, I just turned 20 and I'm finding it hard to be vulnerable because I don't see how it's worth it. Can I ask for some advise? This is my situation: I don't think i have a problem with being vulnerable if I know that a person cares for me. The thing is that I usually don't believe people care, I guess I'm kind of cynical, although not 100%. And for that reason I don't see why it's a good idea to "rise again and open my heart again to love". I mean, if nobody cares, there's no point in hoping for love and getting hurt for something that doesn't exist - you'll just be hurt for nothing. If I may ask for your thoughts and advise on this matter, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
When this song was on the charts, I had just begun a very precarious relationship, shortly after having been left by my wife... In other words, the song fit my current situation to a "T".
Yep. This lyric is one that stands out not only in this song, but it is one that stands out for me in all music. It is one of the best lyrics I can think of in any song. The vulnerability of love -- captured in a single 8-word line.
Same for me, after hearing the last phrase which was used in a Boston Legal episode. Just that last phrase and the music...I was hooked. What a hauntingly beautiful song!
I have been listening again and again to this song for several hours now. The metering is hymnal. The words: conditional and subjunctive. Transactional at the last plea. It's like an unsent love letter which was accidentally read.
The first time I ever heard that song, And So It Goes, I could identify with it, and I stopped in my tracks like OMG! And I actually began to cry. When I got married I had my brother perform this song at the church, and he had told me, he had such a hard time even rehearsing the song, because he would cry too! It's a very deeply heartfelt song, and honest to his vulnerabilities he felt at that time! Gives you a real idea of his true feelings. There's nothing fake about these lyrics!
I was listening to this when my girlfriend came in distraught that our beautiful cat ‘Renwee’ had died... He was beautiful, intelligent, and a completely bonkers little guy and we adored him so much. We will never forget him, this track will always help us remember that place and time and just how special he was. It’s not always the human interaction, the loss of our furry, feathered and scaly friends are equally traumatic. We planted a ‘Renwee’ tree soon after we lost him, the sad thing is that it is now almost as tall as my wife, but the positive thing is that we still love and miss him just as much.... we will never forget Renwee and we thank Billy for playing such an important role. Xxx
+Angie The Killjoy it was actually written 6 years before he released to to Elle McPherson, shortly before meeting Christie Brinkley:) i'm sure you can find the demo of it on UA-cam from 1983.
This is without a doubt Billy Joel's most beautiful song. There is nothing else he has done that compares with it. It is obviously sad, but so lyrical and moving. Thank you Billy for all the wonderful music you have given us. We can never repay you enough!
Honesty, I've Loved These Days, Leave A Tender Moment Alone, She's Got A Way, Souvenir, Temptation, Through The Long Night. Vienna, Where's The Orchestra and the instrumental Nocturne.
The vulnerability of entering a relationship, and how profoundly we can touch one another has rarely been so poignantly expressed in a song. The tone is soft, but the message so powerful. Billy Joel is an absolute MASTER story teller.
Since hearing this song for the first time it’s had a profound affect on me. It took me awhile to grasp the song’s concept but all I had to do was look inward. Love is good, it’s bad, it’s indifferent. When it works it’s invincible. When it doesn’t it’s crippling. Everybody just wants to be loved for who they are. That’s it. Love is about exposing yourself to someone else, warts and all. Taking that leap of faith. Or I should say believing in it enough to take that first step in the first place.
I fell in love with this song when Oliver and Shane dance to this on Signed Sealed and Delivered. I had to search to find it, and I listen to this and other Billy Joel's songs.❤️❤️❤️
I sang in an a capella choir version of this song for the last concert of my senior year in high school. it was an emotional moment that I will never forget.
Gentlemen songsters a cappella group did this at my high school like 8 years ago and it was so beautiful I fell in love with the song it's why I'm on this page lol
Played this when my Dad passed. We didn’t have much of a relationship. In the last hours of his life we had a brief moment of understanding. For a minute or two it seems, he recognized my gifts. He had a room too, a sanctuary. I hope he’s at peace.
This could be his greatest composition. Simple but with chords like that. Wow. The crowd can be proud also as I think they really add to the chorus with a smooth topping of choral mellowness. A sheer delight to listen to. He will be an immortal.
Derian Jones: I agree totally! This song is so heart felt, extraordinary and simple, all at the same time. If there was ever a definition in the dictionary as to what a well written song should sound like, this song would be "Exhibit A" for real! Thanks to the piano man himself, for a great song/performance. Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.
He said this is the song of which he was most proud. Who am I to argue with Billy Joel? Just an absolute masterpiece. As an aside, there’s such a lesson in the fact that this is also arguably one of the simplest songs in his entire catalog.
This song is amazing. Billy sings it beautifully. No extremeties, no nothing. He just sings through his heart to ours. One of his best performances ever.
I was dating a girl right after this came out and I could tell she was thinking of breaking up. So one day while having lunch and discussing it, I sang the line "And so it goes...And so it goes. And so will you soon I suppose." Her eyes welled up and I knew it was over. But I still love the song. Memories of my youth - both happy and sad.
I heard this beautiful song for the first on the show "This Is Us" this week. They play the most amazing songs! This song is so beautiful & it made me cry. What powerful lyrics! I grew listening to Billy Joel in the 80s but had never heard this song. Glad I know it now. ❤❤
There aren't so many equivalents of Billy Joel in any era.... and bear in mind too that it's not always the best songwriters whose music becomes famous!
This was performed at the memorial service for a young friend of my daughter. I heard it three times that day and now I have the image of Julia in my mind every time I hear it. A beautiful song for a beautiful soul.
"And you can have this heart to break" is such a powerful sentence, the willingness to offer oneself to the possibility of pain because that is the only way to open up to the possibility of love. I will be singing this with my choir soon.
@@danielcropp8553 Any clue on how racist we know you truly are?? You comment was a statement lol. You believe the exact opposite of what you just said. Also how did his comment garner that reply?? 🤔😂😂😂😂
This is positively one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The purity, the unalloyed aim of the music and lyric together are at the very highest level.
I closed my eyes tonight and just cried. Not only are the lyrics superb (heartache)...but the haunting melody has been my life. I have a fresh start with love....grateful for another chance. ❤
One of the most romantic songs ever written. Anyone who has ever laid down next to another with an invisible wall between somehow will know what that lasting love can break that wall down with one embrace is everything. Don't wait... love today, tomorrow may never come. That's if the choice were mine to make..
I have loved Billy Joel since I was a teenager and heard his album. "The Stranger." Yet I had not heard this song until recently with the limited Billy Joel channel on Sirius FM. I had to stop the car to listen to every word and note. It is so very hauntingly true in lyrics and in minor chords. With every love, you risk a broken heart. Are you strong enough to take the risk? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This has now become my favorite Billy Joel song. I think he is a master musician in all ways.
Songs like this make me wonder what's going through their mind as it goes. The crowd disappears, memories of people they've known and places they've been take their place. People they've loved, friends passed on, all return and given tribute through the chords that ring out.
Iconic Billy Joel has many great songs But this one Rises above them all. It is a beautiful Poem With layers and layers of meaning... It is only by breaking one's heart Truly breaking it that one comes to true, pure Humility and in that Humility a Deeper, vast Hall of love Opens up.
I hand not heard this song in a long time...I heard it this week on my favorite show " This is Us". I called my eyes shut! I love this song, first heard it in Onitsha Nigeria when on my way to the Cathedral to get married. My soon to be husband was driving. He stopped at a store to buy cigarettes,and kept car running. This song came on. I don't know if it was a tape, or radio...way back in 1992. I listened to the lyrics. I remembered my husband to be did say to me many times, " you gonna leave me". I never understood why he felt that way! Listening to the lyrics, I thought to my self he must have got the idea from the song. We did get married, but marriage didn't last. Good thing that came from our marriage was our handsome 2 son's. We have 3 beautiful grandchildren from our youngest son. Everytime I hear this song I cry uncontrollably. I love the song, like I loved my husband back then in Ontisha, Nigeria...." And so it goes"❤️🌴🏝️🌴 So, every time
A song full of truth. At 70 it resonated with with my past. How many times have I made myself vulnerable and how many times has it brought that mutual love… sometimes ….but even now I still seek … still get hurt but still try. Our hearts are always young
I played this song for my girlfriend who in turn ended up becoming my wife. One of my all time favorite Billy Joel songs. “You can have this heart to break.”
Yes that's the Hallmark movies I've been watching. Every episode of the Sign Sealed Delivered series leaves me in tears. The stories are deep and endearing. Nice reading your comment....
“And every time I’ve held a rose it seems I’ve only felt the thorns”… that line always breaks my heart. Joel wrote this after a breakup yet the words obtain to myriad human events. The melody, itself, owes so much to traditional Celtic folk tunes that always have a touch of sadness about them. So, this choice for “ Miguel’s Story” was a touch of genius.
This is by far his best! I started hearing it on "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" as the theme song. I looked it up and was actually surprised. It matches well with this Hallmark series.
Great song, my wife watched it on Hallmark too. We love the "Signed Sealed Delivered" series so much we bought the whole box set. We watch an episode each evening
This song describes what happened to me as I waited for my marine to come back after boot camp😒 When I heard it on SSD I was brought to my knees. Thank you hallmark❤️
I sang this in high school choir last year. Probably one of the best pieces our choir has done while I've been there. It got me interested in Billy Joel's music, and it made me appreciate and admire him a lot more than I did previously.
Just got done with Season 2 of AFTER LIFE by Ricky Gervais and this song was at the end of episode 5....so fitting and oh so sad....deep in the feels. I just had to come here and listen to the full song. My dad is a BIG Billy Joel fan! Thank you for the music Piano Man 💖
That's why I'm "here," too. I lost my dad about a year and a half ago; I heard this song at the close of "After Life," and just felt I needed to hear it from beginning to end.
Me too. My wife and I bought the whole box set. We are watching this episode tonight 10 Feb 22. We watch an episode every night. Greetings from Charleston, West Virginia and Semper Fidelis
This song was given to Billy by his angels to influence humanity in a way to wake humanity up to the ways of love. Humanity should be more humble.... In every way. Or, there is no hope.
*In every heart there is a room* *A sanctuary safe and strong* *To heal the wounds from lovers past* *Until a new one comes along* Oke, Mr Joel. Stab me!!
Who else is here because Billy Joel said this is his favorite song while on the Grammys red carpet. I love and grew up listening to B.J. I Iove all his music.

No doubt one of his best.
Hunter Mirr, never truer words written. I like that it isn't as well known as some of his others.
Couldn't agree more. This song is perfection, in the depth of its lyric and simplicity of its melody. It's like a hymn of the heart...reminds me of the Gettysburg Address - says so much in so few words. Just genius...
totally agree!
Jennifer Felix I remember in like 2009 or 2010 he had an interview with Howard Stern on the radio, and Howard asked Joel what he thought his most unappreciated song was. Joel was about to say something but stopped himself, then played And So It Goes on the piano.
My husband’s declining health and current hospitalization brought me here this morning- I hear the refrain - And so it goes, and so it goes-
Day 30 - ICU. Writing another update to my 3 closest friends- every day it’s more of the same - with very slow gains . “Recovery” will bring us both challenges - adapting to andas needs for assistance and accepting this is a there will be more until the inevitable.
So sorry
Saying prayers for you and your husband. My hubs spent 2 weeks in ICU so I know how you feel. Unfortunately, mine didn’t make it home. We lost him 6 years ago. I pray for health and happiness for your family. You’ve got this! ❤
I am here because I heard this beautiful song on The Lost Letter Mystery's. I didn't know who sang it, never heard it before. I so love it now. Wish I had heard it years ago.Love to you all.
My deepest sympathies are with you. You wrote this post 9 months ago. I pray that you are surrounded by love and support wherever you are in this arc of life. ❤️🫂
When I divorced my husband, my mother came over, said nothing & played this
I’ve never cried so hard, I’m 6’3” & I broke down in my moms arms
I still cry when I hear this 🥺🥹🥺
Mum❤
I hope so much you've found happiness. 🤝🕊from 🇮🇪☘
So do I, my sister ...
A woman who's 6'3 damn. Why do women always divorce
@@Onelegisenoughwhy do you assume the commenter is a woman.
Kevin, we got you 😢 I'm sorry for the pain you went through. Good on Mom ❤
For me, this is the saddest song of the 1980s. It always gets me.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
[Verse 2]
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
[Chorus]
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
[Verse 3]
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
[Chorus]
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
[Verse 4]
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
[Outro]
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
I've always liked Billy Joel's music however I never really listened to this song or knew the lyrics until now- simple, poignant and straight to the heart.
Beautiful
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post the lyrics just fantastic
Holy shit, that 3rd verse really hit home
Thanks ..❤
One of the greatest song writers of all time. Fact. :)
I agree
This is one of billy Joel's top 5 favorite songs he wrote
That's an opinion.
@@salrusso1233 yeah i saw that interview where he said this
This is one of the best songs that has ever been written. Billy Joel at his heartbreaking best.
It's a simp song. A man should never allow himself to be so vulnerable to the unstable female.
@@fairplayer7435 such a chad ✋😬
I cry every time I hear this. But I keep listening over and over. Powerfully vulnerable.😢
This song made me bawl my eyes out as it played on Miguel's story on This Is Us. So beautiful!
Christie call me to .I cried like a baby 🥲
That's why I'm here
I've probably listened to this 20 times since they played it on Miguel's episode! It speaks to my heart so well!
@@janetmajor1152 ....Funny thing is this, my wife and I were watching this episode and I fell asleep but this song woke me up.......I had to rewind the show a couple of times and finally pulled the song up on youtube and have played it almost everyday......we "hear' alot of songs but when you can 'feel' the song, its special
It was a GREAT episode…. However it totally makes sense that it would have been a classic song from Billy Joel that brought the well of tears out of my eyes!! I am really going to miss This is US! 💙 Every episode, every season… well done!!
"And So It Goes"
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
Diane Fischer-Stuthmann thank you 💓💓
Diane Fischer-Stuthmann Thank you
Thanks, much appreciated.
Thanks !
Diane Fischer-Stuthmann thank you 😊
I just watched This is Us on my DVR. I always loved this song but it absolutely kicked my ass tonight. I'm a 54 year old man ugly crying at the end of a TV show. It was just so damn visceral. Thanks Billy. RIP Miguel.
I was ugly crying too. I was sobbing 4 minutes into the show. By the end of show. I was a complete mess!😭😭😭
Me too!
That was a rough one 😢
It's a tv show stupid
well said my friend..
This song was beautifully used in tonight's episode of This Is Us.
“And you can have this heart to break.” For me, this song embodies courageous vulnerability. Despite every past loss, I will rise again and open my heart to love again. And again. Come what may. By far my favorite Billy Joel song. Sublime.
Hey hello, I just turned 20 and I'm finding it hard to be vulnerable because I don't see how it's worth it. Can I ask for some advise? This is my situation:
I don't think i have a problem with being vulnerable if I know that a person cares for me. The thing is that I usually don't believe people care, I guess I'm kind of cynical, although not 100%. And for that reason I don't see why it's a good idea to "rise again and open my heart again to love". I mean, if nobody cares, there's no point in hoping for love and getting hurt for something that doesn't exist - you'll just be hurt for nothing.
If I may ask for your thoughts and advise on this matter, it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
That line, it’s a killer. It’s the ultimate sacrifice because you love somebody so much that you would offer that.
"And you can have this heart to break...." gives me chills. What a beautiful lyric.
My favorite line from the song. Had it happen not so long ago.
When this song was on the charts, I had just begun a very precarious relationship, shortly after having been left by my wife... In other words, the song fit my current situation to a "T".
Yep. This lyric is one that stands out not only in this song, but it is one that stands out for me in all music. It is one of the best lyrics I can think of in any song. The vulnerability of love -- captured in a single 8-word line.
to think, 6 years later i read this comment literally as it was being sung. That is why i like the internet.
It blows me away that the same artist that wrote 'we didn't start the fire' constructed this absolute master piece that goes straight for your heart.
This may be the most underrated song of all time. How have I only discovered this now?
Isn't it a great song?
But discover it you did!
I don't know, but this may be Hallelujah part 2
Same for me, after hearing the last phrase which was used in a Boston Legal episode. Just that last phrase and the music...I was hooked. What a hauntingly beautiful song!
Because it's now that you need it
Perfection !
I have been listening again and again to this song for several hours now. The metering is hymnal. The words: conditional and subjunctive. Transactional at the last plea. It's like an unsent love letter which was accidentally read.
+Randel Urbano What a beautiful description!

Kara Collins m
Randel Urbano ...dude...just close your eyes, open your ears and heart and enjoy.
Did he write the melody? I have a feeling he didn't. But it's a beautiful song.
...so I would choose to be with you, that's if the choice were mine to make...
has me tearing up almost every time
So I .
Just beautiful
This a religious hymnal as only Billy could write it.Confessional and heartfelt
After Life might make this a hit again.
TheShotenZenjin came here because of After life too
Saja 09 me too
Me too. Beautiful song. 😥xxx
I had relegated this tune to a dark corner in my mind, but my heart knee it instantly when I heard it queue up. All thanks to AfterLife.
The song is heard with my ears, but felt so much deeper in my heart.
These are the real Musicians! Shit , I need a mop and Bucket for my tears!
*car gets towed* And so it tows
i agree, sad song
+odia julius So very true Odia. True/real musicians purely speak from their heart and soul.
me too man, me too.
The first time I ever heard that song, And So It Goes, I could identify with it, and I stopped in my tracks like OMG!
And I actually began to cry. When I got married I had my brother perform this song at the church, and he had told me, he had such a hard time even rehearsing the song, because he would cry too!
It's a very deeply heartfelt song, and honest to his vulnerabilities he felt at that time! Gives you a real idea of his true feelings. There's nothing fake about these lyrics!
I was listening to this when my girlfriend came in distraught that our beautiful cat ‘Renwee’ had died... He was beautiful, intelligent, and a completely bonkers little guy and we adored him so much. We will never forget him, this track will always help us remember that place and time and just how special he was. It’s not always the human interaction, the loss of our furry, feathered and scaly friends are equally traumatic. We planted a ‘Renwee’ tree soon after we lost him, the sad thing is that it is now almost as tall as my wife, but the positive thing is that we still love and miss him just as much.... we will never forget Renwee and we thank Billy for playing such an important role. Xxx
Beautiful but sad story. RIP Renwee from a cat lover and Billy Joel fan
@@antrivers46 Likewise, from another cat lover and Billy Joel fan.
He must have really been in pain when he wrote this. You can hear the agony in his voice. Just so real.
Brian Vetter i cry for a day every time i listen to this song
Max Baum Me too
+Brian Vetter he wrote this to his ex- long term girlfriend
+Angie The Killjoy it was actually written 6 years before he released to to Elle McPherson, shortly before meeting Christie Brinkley:) i'm sure you can find the demo of it on UA-cam from 1983.
He's said that he wrote it due to his relationship with Elle McPherson.
This song and This Night were written about her.
This is without a doubt Billy Joel's most beautiful song. There is nothing else he has done that compares with it. It is obviously sad, but so lyrical and moving. Thank you Billy for all the wonderful music you have given us. We can never repay you enough!
Its really beautiful. So also is lullaby. Both very beautiful
I agree
My all time fav... nothing describes a broken heart better❤️❤️...my silence is my self defence
Honesty, I've Loved These Days, Leave A Tender Moment Alone, She's Got A Way, Souvenir, Temptation, Through The Long Night. Vienna, Where's The Orchestra and the instrumental Nocturne.
Iv loved billy for years but never really took notice of this song but its beautiful
My mothers love for Billy has brought me here and bonded us. This has been a favorite of mine for over 25 years.
*My mother is Elle Macpherson. I love this song.*
The vulnerability of entering a relationship, and how profoundly we can touch one another has rarely been so poignantly expressed in a song. The tone is soft, but the message so powerful. Billy Joel is an absolute MASTER story teller.
Just saw him in concert tonight. He was amazing. He didn't sing this song though which was a bummer. But just as well to not cry.
Perfectly put.
Scott Russell.....you could not have been more right......
The most beautiful sadness ever set to music.....
It's almost everything....
Sooooooooooo true. Every song has one. Every. Single. Song. And I love it.
Since hearing this song for the first time it’s had a profound affect on me. It took me awhile to grasp the song’s concept but all I had to do was look inward. Love is good, it’s bad, it’s indifferent. When it works it’s invincible. When it doesn’t it’s crippling.
Everybody just wants to be loved for who they are. That’s it.
Love is about exposing yourself to someone else, warts and all. Taking that leap of faith.
Or I should say believing in it enough to take that first step in the first place.
"Everybody just wants to be loved for who they are. That’s it."
Says it all.
I fell in love with this song when Oliver and Shane dance to this on Signed Sealed and Delivered. I had to search to find it, and I listen to this and other Billy Joel's songs.❤️❤️❤️
@@lorainelambert8548 Yes same here. I’ve just discovered Signed Sealed Delivered in New Zealand. This song is absolutely beautiful.
Crippling is the word.
wow, so nicely written
This is my favorite Billy Joel song, and I'm grateful to "This Is Us" (5/3/22) for giving it new life.
I sang in an a capella choir version of this song for the last concert of my senior year in high school. it was an emotional moment that I will never forget.
we started doing it today in my choir and i was hit like a truck with how good and deep this song is
yeah, it's awesome.
Daniel Cropp I did too! at Buena high school, years ago. had the auditorium in tears I heard! good times, high school
+D JoneZ yeah!
Gentlemen songsters a cappella group did this at my high school like 8 years ago and it was so beautiful I fell in love with the song it's why I'm on this page lol
Played this when my Dad passed. We didn’t have much of a relationship. In the last hours of his life we had a brief moment of understanding. For a minute or two it seems, he recognized my gifts. He had a room too, a sanctuary. I hope he’s at peace.
Probably he just read your notes,,,🥲
I hope that you are at peace too.
I feel certain your dad would want that for you.
@@qasion
That's a wonderful thing to think about. I'm sure you're right. 🙂
This isn't a song... It's the world's most beautiful poem...
"... So I will share this room with you, and you can have this heart to break..."
I completely agree, and I search the earth for songs like this
"And i will share this room with you. And you can have this heart to break".
that lyric is incredibly beautiful.
When the audience starts singing along with you, it's magical. But then, this is Billy Joel. He IS magical.
The TV series "This Is Us" bought me here this evening with the "Miquel" episode and this song playing near the end of the episode. Just beautiful
This could be his greatest composition. Simple but with chords like that. Wow. The crowd can be proud also as I think they really add to the chorus with a smooth topping of choral mellowness. A sheer delight to listen to. He will be an immortal.
Derian Jones: I agree totally! This song is so heart felt, extraordinary and simple, all at the same time. If there was ever a definition in the dictionary as to what a well written song should sound like, this song would be "Exhibit A" for real! Thanks to the piano man himself, for a great song/performance. Enjoy! Cheers, Sam.
Goodnight My Angel would be my pick, but also She's Got A Way About Her. But then...with his repertoire, how does one choose?
Derian Jones is this similar to The Lulaby for his daughter? The 2 songs remind me of each other.
I think personally that Souvenir is quite possibly his best work, but this comes very close in my opinion.
Tbh it's difficult to pick one.
🇬🇧 🤝 🇺🇸
Thank you Miguel, for your selfless part in This is Us. Rest easy, you won our hearts in the end.
Fantastic usage of this classic.
He said this is the song of which he was most proud. Who am I to argue with Billy Joel? Just an absolute masterpiece.
As an aside, there’s such a lesson in the fact that this is also arguably one of the simplest songs in his entire catalog.
This song is amazing. Billy sings it beautifully. No extremeties, no nothing. He just sings through his heart to ours. One of his best performances ever.
if there are better songs than this they haven't been written yet
How about Thotiana?
Fairplayer7 STOP
Like an Irish hymn, nostalgic, major keys, minor soul.
Yes.......Raglan Road vibes.
I was dating a girl right after this came out and I could tell she was thinking of breaking up. So one day while having lunch and discussing it, I sang the line "And so it goes...And so it goes. And so will you soon I suppose." Her eyes welled up and I knew it was over. But I still love the song. Memories of my youth - both happy and sad.
That made my eyes well up. Bittersweet.
That is the best way to end a relationship. Beautiful words from a beautiful song
Bittersweet :')
Nice story 👍 pitty it was a sad ending for you both.
:) i have no other words but, insperational
I heard this beautiful song for the first on the show "This Is Us" this week. They play the most amazing songs! This song is so beautiful & it made me cry. What powerful lyrics! I grew listening to Billy Joel in the 80s but had never heard this song. Glad I know it now. ❤❤
Same💔😪❤
Hello, how are you doing?
One of the most beautiful songs Billy ever did…
They don't make enough music like this now a-days.
*Justin Beiber starts singing in the distance*
There aren't so many equivalents of Billy Joel in any era.... and bear in mind too that it's not always the best songwriters whose music becomes famous!
They don't make ANY music like this anymore (sadly).
You don't like snare drums and auto tune?!?!?!?!??!?!?
+alex spectre You're looking in the wrong places if you don't think there's any music like this anymore.
She left me after depression was taking over and I’d isolate myself “if my silence made you leave” will 10/10 times make my eyes tear up
The way he chose to voice these chords with that dissonance is beautiful.
My favorite Billy Joel song as well
This was performed at the memorial service for a young friend of my daughter. I heard it three times that day and now I have the image of Julia in my mind every time I hear it. A beautiful song for a beautiful soul.
"And you can have this heart to break" is such a powerful sentence, the willingness to offer oneself to the possibility of pain because that is the only way to open up to the possibility of love. I will be singing this with my choir soon.
I'm Jamaican but I am a true lover of good music, and I've been fan of billy Joel all my life, he is truly a legend , his music is timeless
"I'm a Jamaican but. . ." ? Hey Martin, you are a Jamaican AND. Being a Jamaican doesn't prevent you from doing ANYTHING. :)
Trinidadian and feel the same way
@@danielcropp8553 Any clue on how racist we know you truly are?? You comment was a statement lol. You believe the exact opposite of what you just said. Also how did his comment garner that reply?? 🤔😂😂😂😂

One of my exes played this song for me. When we broke up, I played this song countless times and cried silently. There's not another song like it.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along....💔😭
This is positively one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. The purity, the unalloyed aim of the music and lyric together are at the very highest level.
My favorite song of all time.. Brings a tear to my eye every time.
Most amazingly written song ever. Close your eyes and absorb the lyrics.
I did just that, and the tears came...amazing song..I played it after watching This is Us..😢
I closed my eyes tonight and just cried. Not only are the lyrics superb (heartache)...but the haunting melody has been my life. I have a fresh start with love....grateful for another chance. ❤
One of the most romantic songs ever written. Anyone who has ever laid down next to another with an invisible wall between somehow will know what that lasting love can break that wall down with one embrace is everything. Don't wait... love today, tomorrow may never come. That's if the choice were mine to make..
Kyle Brown so will be mine, but life is unfair ,many times.
Tomorrow came for me my man. Still a great song though.
The wall doesn't protect; it isolates. I'll take the chance of being hurt to avoid the pain of aloneness.
Absolutely love this song. Especially since my loving husband, Dick, is gone for 17 years now.
One of the best song writers of our modern times
Oh Yeah !
I have loved Billy Joel since I was a teenager and heard his album. "The Stranger." Yet I had not heard this song until recently with the limited Billy Joel channel on Sirius FM. I had to stop the car to listen to every word and note. It is so very hauntingly true in lyrics and in minor chords. With every love, you risk a broken heart. Are you strong enough to take the risk? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. This has now become my favorite Billy Joel song. I think he is a master musician in all ways.
The saddest song written bravo Billy bravo
Most beautiful song. Period.
Songs like this make me wonder what's going through their mind as it goes.
The crowd disappears, memories of people they've known and places they've been take their place. People they've loved, friends passed on, all return and given tribute through the chords that ring out.
Anyone else here because of the Netflix show "After Life" Season 2? I hadn't heard this song in years; always brought a tear to my eye. 💖
Ricky Gervais is beyond talented. I cried much during 'After Life'.......and then there is 'Derek'. True creative energy there!
It was wonderfully compatible. :')
Yep. 😊🙁
Yup - guilty as charged! Love this song.
Yes. So beautiful
Iconic
Billy Joel has many great songs
But this one
Rises above them all.
It is a beautiful
Poem
With layers and layers of meaning...
It is only by breaking one's heart
Truly breaking it
that one comes to true, pure Humility
and in that Humility
a Deeper, vast Hall of love
Opens up.
I LOVE this man's music. He is not only a musician, he is a poet. His words, combined with just the right melody and harmony, hit me right in my core.
Yes!
I hand not heard this song in a long time...I heard it this week on my favorite show " This is Us". I called my eyes shut! I love this song, first heard it in Onitsha Nigeria when on my way to the Cathedral to get married. My soon to be husband was driving. He stopped at a store to buy cigarettes,and kept car running. This song came on. I don't know if it was a tape, or radio...way back in 1992.
I listened to the lyrics. I remembered my husband to be did say to me many times, " you gonna leave me".
I never understood why he felt that way! Listening to the lyrics, I thought to my self he must have got the idea from the song. We did get married, but marriage didn't last. Good thing that came from our marriage was our handsome 2 son's. We have 3 beautiful grandchildren from our youngest son.
Everytime I hear this song I cry uncontrollably. I love the song, like I loved my husband back then in Ontisha, Nigeria...." And so it goes"❤️🌴🏝️🌴
So, every time
A song full of truth. At 70 it resonated with with my past. How many times have I made myself vulnerable and how many times has it brought that mutual love… sometimes ….but even now I still seek … still get hurt but still try. Our hearts are always young
I played this song for my girlfriend who in turn ended up becoming my wife. One of my all time favorite Billy Joel songs. “You can have this heart to break.”
This song makes me feel the sorrows from the years deep in my bones.
This song had been used in several of the Hallmark “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” movies. The song is used perfectly.
Very much so.
Yes that's the Hallmark movies I've been watching. Every episode of the Sign Sealed Delivered series leaves me in tears. The stories are deep and endearing. Nice reading your comment....
“And every time I’ve held a rose it seems I’ve only felt the thorns”… that line always breaks my heart. Joel wrote this after a breakup yet the words obtain to myriad human events. The melody, itself, owes so much to traditional Celtic folk tunes that always have a touch of sadness about them. So, this choice for “ Miguel’s Story” was a touch of genius.
Jesus, nobody breaks my heart like Billy
I just watched "This is Us" and I stopped to find Billy Joel's song. I just listened to it and yes, I was weeping. Love his music and his voice.
One of the greatest songs. I so love it.
This is by far his best! I started hearing it on "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" as the theme song. I looked it up and was actually surprised. It matches well with this Hallmark series.
Great song, my wife watched it on Hallmark too. We love the "Signed Sealed Delivered" series so much we bought the whole box set. We watch an episode each evening
Marti Cabral, that's how I found it, too! One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard.
This song describes what happened to me as I waited for my marine to come back after boot camp😒 When I heard it on SSD I was brought to my knees. Thank you hallmark❤️
Thank you for such a beautiful song!! I can’t help but cry pretty much every time!!! ❤
I sang this in high school choir last year. Probably one of the best pieces our choir has done while I've been there. It got me interested in Billy Joel's music, and it made me appreciate and admire him a lot more than I did previously.
Check out his first five albums, which I believe to be his best work, although he has some gems in every album.
The simplicity of this song really is magnificent. That is the gift Billy Joel brings us. Thank you Billy. A true poet.
Just got done with Season 2 of AFTER LIFE by Ricky Gervais and this song was at the end of episode 5....so fitting and oh so sad....deep in the feels. I just had to come here and listen to the full song. My dad is a BIG Billy Joel fan! Thank you for the music Piano Man 💖
Same story…just finished season 2 and looked up the song…fitting
Yep same reason ….. cheers
Afterlife is where I have found this beautiful song
That's why I'm "here," too. I lost my dad about a year and a half ago; I heard this song at the close of "After Life," and just felt I needed to hear it from beginning to end.
Same!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever composed ❤️
No more. No one will ever break my heart again. Silence is my self defense. This heart is in permanent lock down.
Hello Lori
Me too Lori. God bless you.
A person has to endure a lot of sorrow to write a song from such a pure place. Bless you, Billy. ❤
I'm here because of Shane & Oliver from Signed, Sealed Delivered. ❤️
Me too. My wife and I bought the whole box set. We are watching this episode tonight 10 Feb 22. We watch an episode every night. Greetings from Charleston, West Virginia and Semper Fidelis
This song was given to Billy by his angels to influence humanity in a way to wake humanity up to the ways of love. Humanity should be more humble.... In every way. Or, there is no hope.
That's beautiful
*In every heart there is a room*
*A sanctuary safe and strong*
*To heal the wounds from lovers past*
*Until a new one comes along*
Oke, Mr Joel. Stab me!!
