My English sucks (I'm a Finn), however I can play piano a bit. I played and sang this song in a bar in Berlin, Germany. The top deck of the piano got literally loaded with pints of beer. I also played The House of a Rising Sun, Hotel California, Take Me Home Country Roads, Yellow Brick Road and some other songs. People in the bar were singing these songs louder than the piano.
Our music is appreciated in every corner of this globe. Especially these bar jams in Germany and central Europe. John Denver is like a God around the world. @@blakelylawrence8188
this is one of the song that i really love. i love you, billy joel for making this masterpiece. the song really not just about the melody but how it speaks to the listener is very remarkable.
I’ve also had family members leave very early, and I know it’s a hard thing to go through. Especially when you didn’t know them very well like me, but I always remember to keep the memories I have of them safe in my heart! I’m so sorry for your loss, but always remember the good times you spent together cause that’s what’ll keep you going and pushing through all the way to the end!!! ❤❤❤❤

This song plays on the playlist at my job (think southern style family restaurant) and when I’m cleaning tables and hearing people talk and this song in the back ground and it just feels like small town diner vibes and I love it 😭

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' next to me Makin' love to his tonic and gin He says, "Son, can you play me a memory? I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete When I wore a younger man's clothes" La, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright Now John at the bar is a friend of mine He gets me my drinks for free And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke But there's some place that he'd rather be He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me" As the smile ran away from his face "Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star If I could get out of this place" Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics As the businessmen slowly get stoned Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But it's better than drinkin' alone Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday And the manager gives me a smile 'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see To forget about life for a while And the piano, it sounds like a carnival And the microphone smells like a beer And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?" Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us feelin' alright
2:15 to 2:30 is so niel perry coded (and me). i wish i get to pursue my passion for writing, but i need to study science, even though i hate it, to be financially okay. science is killing me, i want to get out of this place
Same for me, I really wanted to live in a comfortable house in a beautiful forest, but instead, I have to study and become a successful lawyer/delegate, and it’s killing me
This song is a masterpiece, but I feel pretty bad for Jimmy Joel his kids go to the same school as me and whenever there’s like a school event he tries to spend time with them but as usual other parents swarm around instead of spending time with their own children.
I know how you feel. Here's to the old baby boomers. Old age isn't a picnic but thank God for the memories. I think we had the best music in the 70's though.
I'm table tennis player (force to be since my parents don't support my other sport) but Taekwondo will always be my TOTGA. A place that I rather to join and stay
i don't hate my parents, I never. I'm always great full to all things they've done to me. I hope, They don't use me for their own good, for their own success. I'm still a teenager (14y/o) competing nationals but still, seeing myself in the court holding a paddle instead of playing taekwondo is still hurting my 3 years old self. I hope, my parents hear me out... I hope I can watch them being proud of me in the sport I REALLY LOVE.
now John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free, and he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke, but there is someplace that he'd rather be, he says "bill, i believe this is killing me" as a smile ran away from his face, well im sure that i could be a movie star, if i could get out of this place"
You got me and my brother laughing historically now Mr I hope ur proud of ur self and have cleaned ur jours. But fr this made my day also I think ur thinking of “pink skies.”😂
Hypothesis: Paul the real estate novelist without a wife, and Davey in the Navy for life, are both gay... In fact EVERYBODY in the song is gay... EXCEPT for the Piano Man. He has NO IDEA he's playing at a gay bar. The staff and the regulars have a betting pool on how long he'll take to finally figure it out. 😄

I cry when I listen to this song.
I FEEL YA THE SO SAD AND SO HAPPY
I could listen to this song every day and not get sick of it.
大好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！
3:26~3:38の寄せては返す波のようなピアノ間奏が大好きです
はい、傑作です
my favorite interlude as well!
I'm not a big fan of oldish music but this song I love so much I heard one of my friends sing it in school and I can't stop listening to it now
You should look at some of his other song if you haven’t
same
The older you get oldish music just sounds so much better
This song brings memories
Go, go and live life before time runs out
This song plays on the playlist at my job (think southern style family restaurant) and when I’m cleaning tables and hearing people talk and this song in the back ground and it just feels like small town diner vibes and I love it 😭
This sounds like a vibe honestly
yes me too and i’m like :,)

One of My Favorite Songs Ever and Love Billy Joel
One of the greatest songs ever
@@jeannejones2922 Agreed and This Song is Classic Song Regardless of How U Have Been a Billy Joel Fan
The man is a genius
I need this song stiched into my brain
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

I Love You Billy Joel
Just brilliant !!!
Was für ein Hammer Lied 💪danke😎
LET'S SING BOYS
💀
Me on a Saturday at 9pm all alone again remembering my past when I had friends and a purpose:
I know how you feel. Here's to the old baby boomers. Old age isn't a picnic but thank God for the memories. I think we had the best music in the 70's though.
@@dawnhassinger5642 I agree but damn do I miss the good ol 90’s
My dream is just dream
This song makes me feel like a lawyer in Boston at a bar in the 80's
Ok but why is this accurate
@@DanGlassberg I was in Boston when I first heard this song. I think that has something to do with it.
My angel, my piano men
I’m John at the bar and I’m a friend of his
Your a real homie for the free drinks
@@cameroonkendrick6312 id give you free drinks
i love love love billy joel. i always will

When I was a little kid this song would come on the radio on my way to home from daycare and I love this song
His songs made too much sense
Berkeley community theater 1973. The best!!!!!! Played with Loggins and Messina. First performance

What do you mean 😂
So, this philharmonic symphony occurred half a centennial precedingly?
this brings me to tears every time
This song has been playing on the radio alot latey.. i was captured immediately 😊😊
Amazing
Love this song ❤
It's now exactly 9:00 PM on a Saturday.
My dad used to play this when he brushed my hair
Thats so cute❤
That’s such a sweet memory ❤
Sounds like it caused him joy to be able to take care of you. You must be very special to him.
What a wonderful memory to have
now John at the bar is a friend of mine, he gets me my drinks for free, and he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke, but there is someplace that he'd rather be, he says "bill, i believe this is killing me" as a smile ran away from his face, well im sure that i could be a movie star, if i could get out of this place"
1:01 he sounded like gru 😭😭😭😭
Thats mad he dose
When I wore a younger mans nose…
High five to utube also innit tho wtf love it ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
I can't believe that this is Billy Joel's biggest hit and it's his least favorite song
Stephen King hates The Shining, Kurt Cobain hated Smells Like Teen Spirit, seems to be a trend of artists hating pieces that got too big
@@ajlovesstarfish_1131For sure
Super mahni❤
2:13 hits hard man
I think I want to write this song as a novel
I know someone who hates the sound of harmonica so I just sent them this song. It was the first song that came to mind when they said harmonica
Love from Mumbai
hate from world
this always get me...
Cheers to every MF'er that drank as he sang "Drinking a drink called loneliness"
2:13 Reminds me of dead poets society
Who else is going to his concert in may
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙PIANO
Love the error on the words by Elton John on the last verse near the end the end and how they laugh about it
This a cool song is by Billy Joel sound pretty
so clear the house clean the jours
You got me and my brother laughing historically now Mr I hope ur proud of ur self and have cleaned ur jours. But fr this made my day also I think ur thinking of “pink skies.”😂
I love how Billy thought that these people were worth remembering when he was playing piano in that dumpy bar
Hi first comment
I feel like this song was made for my granda RIP
MEMORIES!
Hi dad❤❤
Um
Ur dad ain’t here bozo
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Hypothesis:
Paul the real estate novelist without a wife, and Davey in the Navy for life, are both gay... In fact EVERYBODY in the song is gay... EXCEPT for the Piano Man. He has NO IDEA he's playing at a gay bar. The staff and the regulars have a betting pool on how long he'll take to finally figure it out. 😄

YESSS!
I love it!
Aww peeps ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

This song reminds me of Bungo stray dogs, idk why but it fits perfectly
“I’m gonna Kermit”
2024?😊
i used to sing this song with my dad.
What does he mean by "a pretty good crowd for a Saturday." Isn't Saturday expected to be the busiest night in a pub anyway?
Well it’s a gay bar. Not sure how busy they’d be back then
abu, I believe this is killing me
alright aladdin
Sounds like this is Snufkin's bar song😂
0:08
This song is about a guy playing piano in a gay bar and he is the only one that doesn't realize it's a gay bar.
Has nothing to do with gay bar
@@hondo11000 Idc about what it's about I just like the melody 😂
I am doing a tap solo to this song
Anybody who can speak German here ??? I can. Let’s talk in the comments!!!!🎉
