My wife is dying. This was our song. She and I kissed for the first time as it played. Billy; Thank you. I will take the bad times; just the way you are. I love you Darling. Always and forever. Don’t waste time folks. Show the one you love that you love them. That’s forever.
And sang he did. I can't believe how PERFECTLY he sings every note, with every little intonation he puts into it. Talk about talent. His whole band, especially that saxophone player, wow. Just, wow. But he's still amazing - his last show in New York back in April(I think) was terrific.
😂😂😂😂 siii eso me hace admirarlo por esa ...esa insistencia de su persona por salir adelante...VAYA QUE SI LO LOGRO!... también lo envidio por tantas mujeres hermosas que tuvo😂👋😂
My wife's and my wedding song on Nov 19, 1979. We couldn't have picked a better one. We were married for almost 42 years until she died from breast cancer. I loved her through all of her health struggles through the good times and bad times. Just the way she was. 😢❤❤❤
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail,bj3810743@gmail.com
My daughter and I saw him last February at Madison Square Garden. I also saw him in Hershey, Pa just when he was starting his relationship with Christie Brinkley. His first show in Hershey was cancelled because of what happened at Three Mile Island…..So glad he came back after things settled down.
I'm so sorry your dear wife got breast cancer. Bless you both in your battle against this disease. All you can do is keep on loving each other. Love is all. ❤🌹
This was actually making me miss my husband God rest - but your comment made me smile so wide & feel so ❤ that i forgot to be sad for a while. Obviously you do still i must say CHERISH IT. i got 30yrs, my parents got 62 .. it’s never enough. God Bless & thank you! 🤟🏼💕 Ps tell her that she’s so lucky & i’m jealous! 😬
You are FAR from being weird Jolter. You have great taste in music, REAL music, by a brilliant and exceptional musician/artist/singer/songwriter/composer... There aren't many of these kind of talented people producing music these days!
Helena RC ah yes. His voice didn’t really change. I mean of course voices change as you get older, but his voice now is just as amazing as it was then. : D
If only today, performers actually used only their voice, no auto-tune, probably very few would fall into the category of singers. This is awesome! the real voice , thank you Mr. Joel for sharing!
I'd be honored if some old-school Billy Joel fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master of 20th century music. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
I just love how relaxed and casual he is when he plays this song, he's so comfortable with playing and you can 100% tell in the way he presents himself playing
No other entertainer sang LOVE from the Streets of NY to the World, and we LOVED him for it. Remarkable as one of NY's most loved son's he has Jewish roots, right back to the Holocaust. Now look at NY ??? It is despicable. It is so wrong. LOVE You Billy Joel. Love Your Music. LOVE your NY LOVE brother.
Most of Billy Joel's most beloved songs weren't the most popular at first. Billy Joel himself said his favorite songs were album tracks. And the same applies to nowadays. They definitely do make excellent music like this now. It just goes unappreciated for a few years or a decade or so before garnering a cult following.
Thanks so much i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can write your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better ( joelbillysmusic@gmail.com )
I am confounded by how I did not see absolutely how charismatic Billy Joel is. Real time, my friends were listening to another genre. Just goes to show the power of suggestion. Never turned him off the radio, but never bought his records. I can't imagine how many other good things I missed because I lived in the bubble of my youth.
@@joannel5407 you are missing the point. He is saying he doesn't want to debate or compete with her, just wants to talk in a comfortable way. "Clever" doesn't mean smart, it means cunning, like a competition.
Con está canción conocí a mi primer novio y por razones muy tristes y a consecuencia vde la muerte de mi madre dejamos de vernos es una historia muy larga y muy triste.
Billy Joel had the voice ,catchy and great vocal, he had the lyrics, and the most important "the melody" infectious melodies..thanks for be a part of the great American songbook
Yes this is my all time favorite…..simple melody but beyond extraordinary. Those two elements make for a song that will never die. Love love this song. No one sings it like Billy Joel….the ORIGINAL!!❤️
My girlfriend and I used to dance to this and many other songs from that era. We literally danced all night. We had such great fun. I wish I was young again and could bring back that era. Just a fabulously good time. The young people of today have no clue. By the way, that girlfriend is my wife of over 40 years.
I saw Billy Joel in concert in NY back in the early 90s. It was the best concert I have ever been to. The whole arena sang every song with him word for word. I'll always remember the beautiful sound of thousands of voices in sync with the notes of the piano. His songs are so poetic and meaningful everyone can relate. Highly underrated talented musician and song writer.
I saw him play this live in LA a month ago (as I write this), and he's still got it. It's unreal just how talented this man is, and what an innate, instinctive musical gift he has. He's still incredible live...HIGHLY recommend catching him if he's playing anywhere remotely near you. Absolutely worth it. ❤
Yes 100%, my dad has all his record albums as I grew up. Music was always on the record llayer. I'm a 76' baby that learned and understood true music. Some songs just hit different. I saw him live 10 odd years ago in my city. Highlight memory for me.
My wife and I went to the Arrowhead Stadium show this August. It was the best concert I have ever been to and I have been to many fantastic performers and bands. This was by far my favorite.
To me this is the best decade for music. It was more melodic, calm, easy to understand & lastly the music represented real life at that time. Thanks for the music!!!
Usually, to me, the live versions of songs aren't as good as the studio ones. But, this is quite an exception. Great voice to a beautiful, memorable pop song.
Thanks so much i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can write your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better ( joelbillysmusic@gmail.com )
I remember as a 10 year old, in the winter of 1977, when I first heard this. It was a revelation to me...that music could move me in an inexplicable way. To this day...this track...moves me like no other ever has. Reminds me of a lost childhood, and my emotions for the little girl who sat across from me, in 5th grade. Her name was Beth...and I can still feel that same emotion for her...all these years later.
I am soo happy that I grew up in the 70's and 80's!. We had good music. I am now grateful for the internet for all we have to do is click a button and get to see the singers and hear the songs without having to go turn on our radio record players, ( I still have mine) flip through albums to listen!! Or the cassette players!!
I grew up in 50's and their has always been good music !!! I feel in love with my Mothers " Platters " album & took it when I left home :) But I loved Billy Joel & so many from 60's, 70's, 80's !!! Always be open to older music.
Seeing your commentary, I realize that it is not only in my country that we have a decadence in music. Yes, national music is not worth listening to anymore
Back when musicians were musicians and Live music was actually performed Live. You didn't become famous for 5 minutes because you sang somebody else's song on a cheesy Game Show. Amazing Talent, no lip synching, nothing pre-recorded, just pure TALENT.
Thanks so much i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can write your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better ( joelbillysmusic@gmail.com )
There are a few but certainly not "a lot". Nobody had to look for it back in the day, in order to make it in music you actually required Talent. Today there are many talented artists who are not famous, but there are many more "famous" artists who are not talented.
I had forgotten what a wonderfully clear and melodious voice that Billy Joel had as a young man. I still love hearing him (no matter what his age). He's wonderful.
Yeah, it's like Elton John. That guy's got a really strong voice, like Billy. People talk about their songwriting ability because we value songwriters and they're both prolific. But both have really strong voices too.
The song all of us wish we had wrote for that special girl in our lives. Way back then when we had not too many worries. It was such a good and fine time. May Yahweh grant us this in that special place that we will all go to now very soon. I love this time of my life. It seems so far away. Hope I can go back . Thank you Billy for this lovely song. I cry for this time. Thank you.
My mum sang this song so beautifully around the house. She passed away 6 months ago, this is the first time I’ve put the song on since then. Never felt so secure and at home
I was a Junior in college at SUNY Plattsburgh in 1977 ... this song was playing at all the dorm and floor parties all around campus ... and playing at the bars downtown too ... awesome song, awesome year at school and so many great memories! ... thanks Billy!
This is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever recorded……beautiful & my favorite oldie…….but music of this caliber NEVER gets old…….a classic for sure❤️❤️
@Billyjoel-ww5or I don't care if other people are claiming to buy you, as long as I can listen to your music and look at your face. If anyone tries to get money from me, I'm not worried about it, because I don't have any. The group stalkers took it all.
Saw his concert in Baltimore the other night! He's still got it; I couldn't even be mad about the songs he didn't sing (concert would have been all night)!
I don't care to ask questions, like: "Who is still listening in whatever year it is?!" Because great songs that cause you to feel and/or think will always have someone listening. "Just the Way You Are" is a great song. So, listeners, please continue to think and feel. Peace!
I can't express how much I hate that "Anyone listening in xxxx?" nonsense. How do other people not see the OBVIOUS fishing for likes. What do likes do anyways?
🍀 Soul music is the philosopher's balm, a melody that gently unravels the knots of the soul, revealing the interconnectedness of our human experience and offering solace in its harmonies.🍀🍀
Always out spoken tell you just how i feel if you pass me wrong and i don't back done from anyone any more i am standing up for my heart mind and soul always believe in god Amen !
kids nowadays dont understand why us ( old people ) like about this music but we can only say that if they grew up to this music they might just might be different people in some way !
@@alibarache2018 Oh Ali, a lifetime of getting to be just the we are... Billy Joel means something different to me now.... (B.A. from Sydney, Australia)
Mmmmmmm......over 8 million.....Billy has that extra-special ‘something’ and we are the luckiest people on the planet to hear and relish his beautiful presentation of a song in a million. We all thank you most sincerely. Lovely man........
I was only 4 when I heard this song but it reminds me of when I saw my grandmother for the last time she came to visit she passed shortly after that she was my favorite I heard this and just cried it’s a beautiful memory now I miss her so much
When my wife is putting some music on for us to enjoy I always ask her for BJ. Sadly, she has moved on from what we used to enjoy, and I rarely get the BJ that I ask for
It might be hard to believe and many wouldn't agree but I think billy is underrated big time. In my opinion if you listen to the song my life its very like the beatles and just as good hes up there with elton freddie and the beatles
U need to listen to more beatles songs!i like b.joel but can guarantee you he would tell u the beatles are on another level to everyone else!listen to there OLDER stuff.
I grew up in the 80's and my mom would always have the soft rock radio station playing in the morning. I would hear a lot of songs but didn't know who the artist was. 40 years later, I can't believe how many great Billy Joel songs I know and didn't realize he sang them! I just can't believe he hasn't received homage for his talent. That's probably why I never thought about him that much. He's got to be one of the most underrated artists I can think of. I just watched 9 of his songs in a row on UA-cam, and there're all amazing!
Who underrates him? He’s the seventh-best-selling recording artist and the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States, with over 160 million records sold worldwide. He’s won five Grammy awards. He was inducted into the rock n’ roll hall of fame in 1999. He received The Kennedy Center Honors in 2013 - an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.
@@TheExtremenarcissist No one underrates him with words, but through the fact that his music does not get played. I scan through at least 10 radio stations throughout the day as I drive during work all day (all different genres) and you just don't hear Billy Joel unless you actively search for him online.
Possibly the greatest or at least one of the 10 greatest songs ever. I dont care if it only peaked @ #3 on US billboard hot 100. It's right up there with the best of the best.
Don't go changing, trying to please me You never let me down before I don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I would not leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone, that I can talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you wil long always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from my heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone, that I can talk to I want you just the way you are...

Excellent. One of my favorite songs from the 70's. What an era to have been a child /teen, with all of that great music. There will never be another era like the 70's. PERIOD.
One of the best songs ever written, and also one of my all time favourite songs. Thank you Billy Joel for singing it perfectly, you’re truly a music icon. ❤️
By far the best version of this song.. The strong New York accent really is evident in this version which makes me love this song even more. Wish all men had these lyrics in their heart in todays world.
This song brings a tear to my eye as I recall the great times I had as a young man and as a Billy Joel fan. Thanks to Billy for enriching our lives with his great music and talent.
My wife is dying. This was our song. She and I kissed for the first time as it played. Billy; Thank you. I will take the bad times; just the way you are. I love you Darling. Always and forever. Don’t waste time folks. Show the one you love that you love them. That’s forever.
😢
I'm sorry your wife is passing. It's so hard to lose a loved one.😪
Cheer up! the best song ever wrote.
Great song and great memories. Sorry about your wife. Hope it worked out.
Your love will follow you…and connect.
I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.
you are correct in spades
Yea, like, I wish someone felt this way about me
Конечно, есть!❤
Yes ! And I'm one of them ...
Back when musicians played real instruments and actually sang. No lip syncing. No autotune. Just pure raw talent.
VAYA QUE SI!👍😄
Simplemente maravilloso 😊
I'm 70 now and I feel just like you do,.
❤❤❤❤
And sang he did. I can't believe how PERFECTLY he sings every note, with every little intonation he puts into it. Talk about talent. His whole band, especially that saxophone player, wow. Just, wow. But he's still amazing - his last show in New York back in April(I think) was terrific.
It's stunning to think Billy Joel thought this was a throwaway song on his album but Paul McCartney wished that he had written this song

My wife's and my wedding song on Nov 19, 1979. We couldn't have picked a better one. We were married for almost 42 years until she died from breast cancer. I loved her through all of her health struggles through the good times and bad times. Just the way she was. 😢❤❤❤

I'm sorry for your loss, but glad you had those years. Still looking for the one I can dance to with this one.
So sorry to hear that, take care Friend!

This song NEVER gets old...
My daughter and I saw him last February at Madison Square Garden. I also saw him in Hershey, Pa just when he was starting his relationship with Christie Brinkley. His first show in Hershey was cancelled because of what happened at Three Mile Island…..So glad he came back after things settled down.
Great to be a teenager when this kind of music was new and not that uncommon. The 70s were amazing.
Amen to that.
My boyfriend who passed from liver cancer 6yrs ago we used to sing this song 🎵 together 🎉🎉
He's never really stopped singing, . . Just remember . .
a frown is a smile upside down .All praises.

My wife got breast cancer this year! We've been together 29 years now and hope and pray we'll see much more ahead 💖
Get well soon
May God heal your wife soon.

It’s crazy I am 14 and some people call me weird for liking this kind of music. Billy Joel and Elton John are some of my favorite artists
You’re an old soul
They just don't have a good taste of music. Keep it up
I loved them at that age too and I still do 35 years later. Legends 🎵
You are FAR from being weird Jolter. You have great taste in music, REAL music, by a brilliant and exceptional musician/artist/singer/songwriter/composer...
There aren't many of these kind of talented people producing music these days!
@@Wookie8058 agreed Wookie
Billy Joel's vibrato is some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. In his prime his voice was unbelievable.
Still is, imo
Helena RC ah yes. His voice didn’t really change. I mean of course voices change as you get older, but his voice now is just as amazing as it was then. : D
I agree it's amazing in his prime, but if you see even some of his more recent performances he can still sing with the best of them.
Billy Joel amazing, also the entire band and solo in Saxo,
Hello how are you doing
I’m dedicated this track to my Dad on this Father’s Day 2024 ♥️

To this day...this track...moves me like no other ever has. Reminds me of a lost childhood, and my emotions for the little girl who sat across from me, in 5th grade. Her name was Beth...and I can still feel that same emotion for her...all these years later.
There are those special songs that affect us and take us back to when we first heard it...memories...nostalgia...happy times...
This is called real music, the legend BJ.
I had a legendary BJ last night
@@NoahJJCoolClips it better have been to the legend BJ
Played this song on the day i married the love of my life ❤
Oh, that voice. Every single note right on pitch. This is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Hello Julie basco,
Is nice meeting you here.
How're you doing?
Amazing how perfect his pitch is…
No other voice quit like his and Phill Wood on the tenner sax ain't bad either.
I am soo happy that I grew up in the 70's and 80's!. We had good music. I am now grateful for the internet for all we have to do is click a button and get to see the singers and hear the songs without having to go turn on our radio record players, ( I still have mine) flip through albums to listen!! Or the cassette players!!
I grew up in 50's and their has always been good music !!! I feel in love with my Mothers " Platters " album & took it when I left home :) But I loved Billy Joel & so many from 60's, 70's, 80's !!! Always be open to older music.
I had the privilege of seeing him live in Sydney, Australi on my 60th Birthday, that was 14 years ago.
Seeing your commentary, I realize that it is not only in my country that we have a decadence in music. Yes, national music is not worth listening to anymore
we still have that music, now we just go to youtube. easier. Also we have new music which is also good.
Oingo boingo walks into the room and ruins your few seconds of 80's pride
Back when musicians were musicians and Live music was actually performed Live. You didn't become famous for 5 minutes because you sang somebody else's song on a cheesy Game Show. Amazing Talent, no lip synching, nothing pre-recorded, just pure TALENT.
Thanks so much i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can write your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better
( joelbillysmusic@gmail.com )
And a sob story background
I'm only 30 but I feel that deep in my soul I was just saying music now a days cant touch the older stuff
There is actually more of this than there has ever been, you just have to look for it.
There are a few but certainly not "a lot". Nobody had to look for it back in the day, in order to make it in music you actually required Talent. Today there are many talented artists who are not famous, but there are many more "famous" artists who are not talented.
I can’t think of any love songs better than this one.
I had forgotten what a wonderfully clear and melodious voice that Billy Joel had as a young man. I still love hearing him (no matter what his age). He's wonderful.
Yeah, it's like Elton John. That guy's got a really strong voice, like Billy. People talk about their songwriting ability because we value songwriters and they're both prolific. But both have really strong voices too.
Hello how are you doing,its nice meeting you here
Is this really you, BJ?!
@@SEW_B yes it really me . i know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right
Thank you, Billy, for this personal reply! And, YES, I am most certainly surprised! I hope you are well, happy, and creating more wonderful music!
Billy Joel thats a real musician, all his songs are a true treasure
The song all of us wish we had wrote for that special girl in our lives. Way back then when we had not too many worries. It was such a good and fine time. May Yahweh grant us this in that special place that we will all go to now very soon. I love this time of my life. It seems so far away. Hope I can go back . Thank you Billy for this lovely song. I cry for this time. Thank you.
My mum sang this song so beautifully around the house. She passed away 6 months ago, this is the first time I’ve put the song on since then. Never felt so secure and at home
This makes me cry I wish someone loved me like this. I think this is Billy’s best piece.
Hello how are you doing
Kamu akan menemukan orang yang mencintaimu seperti ini. Jangan berhenti percaya
There’s someone out there for you… you’ll find them someday..
Hey
I love someone like this, she doesn't love me anymore.
A beautiful song with meaning. Nothing today compares with the music of this era.
You got that right Steve!!
It's because songs aren't built the same way. Songs used to be performed a hundred times in front of audiences before they were recorded.
@@Jay-ft3xh no one to Depend on
So much good music out there now, check out Pluto projector by Rex orange country. Great modern love song
Silvester my idol..billy the balladeer jazz!
No autotune no vocoder no special effects just pure beautiful skill in writing and performing - thank-you
💚
Todo un clásico
I was a Junior in college at SUNY Plattsburgh in 1977 ... this song was playing at all the dorm and floor parties all around campus ... and playing at the bars downtown too ... awesome song, awesome year at school and so many great memories! ... thanks Billy!
This is absolutely one of the greatest songs ever recorded……beautiful & my favorite oldie…….but music of this caliber NEVER gets old…….a classic for sure❤️❤️
Hey there how are you doing today ?
Man , he wrote so many good songs !
Beautiful song, sung and played by a master musician. Thanks Billy
I'm 48 I still tear up listening to this song it was one of my mom and dad favorite songs before she got sick and passed away
I sing this to my rescue dog (even when he’s a “handful”) 💙
That's funny, I do the same to my dog. And I also love this song.
@Billyjoel-ww5or I don't care if other people are claiming to buy you, as long as I can listen to your music and look at your face. If anyone tries to get money from me, I'm not worried about it, because I don't have any. The group stalkers took it all.
To be you
The best tune to rebuild two broken souls in the middle of a rainy lonely street.
That's beautiful, Giovanni
@@jlewis9043 thank you so much. Regard from the bottom of my heart
Back to the good old days. This song really touches my heart and soul.
YES I KNOW ITS A CLASSIC AND WILL BE HEARD FOREVER.
Me too!
The same feeling.
Hello how are you doing
Saw his concert in Baltimore the other night! He's still got it; I couldn't even be mad about the songs he didn't sing (concert would have been all night)!
My gosh, the 70s music is so gorgeous
tell that to the other ten people that don't know that.
Best song writer ever. Always consistant and never disappoints. Keep going Billy cause you rock😊
He's got the best hair ever. I'm not sure about the song, though. It's nice, but doesn't really blow me away. Peace!!!!!!
A special love I had with someone...we broke up and he won me back by singing this song.
I'm 50 years old this love song will never die this song bringing back memories of my child hood
Billy Joel's music is priceless !
I don't care to ask questions, like: "Who is still listening in whatever year it is?!"
Because great songs that cause you to feel and/or think will always have someone listening.
"Just the Way You Are" is a great song. So, listeners, please continue to think and feel. Peace!
I can't express how much I hate that "Anyone listening in xxxx?" nonsense. How do other people not see the OBVIOUS fishing for likes. What do likes do anyways?
@@thebadash4165 stop nagging, phishing or not, 1.5 k likes should tell you something, if you ever care to listen, you millenial
@@alexcovaci5085 I'm pretty sure it's the millennials that are phishing for likes.
I listening from Brazil .👍
🍀 Soul music is the philosopher's balm, a melody that gently unravels the knots of the soul, revealing the interconnectedness of our human experience and offering solace in its harmonies.🍀🍀
Wow....unspoken passion!
Always out spoken tell you just how i feel if you pass me wrong and i don't back done from anyone any more i am standing up for my heart mind and soul always believe in god Amen !
Lots of unspoken passion is found in the best relationships. Brother / sister Mother/daughters; Husbands/wives. How real, how gorgeous the song!
Principios de los 80s los amo
One of THE Best Songwriters EVER. Classic Legend: Billy Joel.
His voice, piano playing, lyrics and kudos to the sax player. Pure talent. ❤
kids nowadays dont understand why us ( old people ) like about this music but we can only say that if they grew up to this music they might just might be different people in some way !
It makes me cry....... those days are over for me.......how wonderful is Billy Joel and his music, bringing out the heart
and soul of us all
Hi Billie ! Agree with you dear . If only all of us are just the we are, maybe...(A.B. from Liège Belgium Europe ).
Maybe not over...we are out here too
@@greggarrison3400 That's a pretty sweet thought, I shall hold it close when I feel so alone...... thankyou
@@alibarache2018 Oh Ali, a lifetime of getting to be just the we are... Billy Joel means something different to me now....
(B.A. from Sydney, Australia)
@@billieabbott3198 Hello! Thanks a lot for your answer !(A.B.from Liège Belgium Europe ).
Mmmmmmm......over 8 million.....Billy has that extra-special ‘something’ and we are the luckiest people on the planet to hear and relish his beautiful presentation of a song in a million. We all thank you most sincerely. Lovely man........
Billy Joel 最高！！
I was only 4 when I heard this song but it reminds me of when I saw my grandmother for the last time she came to visit she passed shortly after that she was my favorite I heard this and just cried it’s a beautiful memory now I miss her so much
This is the pearl ever of the seventies and eighties! The original Billy Joel`s song!
Billy Joel has a terrific voice. Superb song writer, vocalist & performer. His performances speak volumes.
Thank you so much BJ
When my wife is putting some music on for us to enjoy I always ask her for BJ. Sadly, she has moved on from what we used to enjoy, and I rarely get the BJ that I ask for
It might be hard to believe and many wouldn't agree but I think billy is underrated big time. In my opinion if you listen to the song my life its very like the beatles and just as good hes up there with elton freddie and the beatles
U need to listen to more beatles songs!i like b.joel but can guarantee you he would tell u the beatles are on another level to everyone else!listen to there OLDER stuff.
estou ouvindo hoje 2024 amo demais
I grew up in the 80's and my mom would always have the soft rock radio station playing in the morning. I would hear a lot of songs but didn't know who the artist was. 40 years later, I can't believe how many great Billy Joel songs I know and didn't realize he sang them! I just can't believe he hasn't received homage for his talent. That's probably why I never thought about him that much. He's got to be one of the most underrated artists I can think of. I just watched 9 of his songs in a row on UA-cam, and there're all amazing!
💕♥️🔥🙌🕊
No
Who underrates him?
He’s the seventh-best-selling recording artist and the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States, with over 160 million records sold worldwide.
He’s won five Grammy awards.
He was inducted into the rock n’ roll hall of fame in 1999.
He received The Kennedy Center Honors in 2013 - an annual honor given to those in the performing arts for their lifetime of contributions to American culture.
@@TheExtremenarcissist they think that because THEY were late to the game everybody else must be in that slacken boat too! Lol
@@TheExtremenarcissist No one underrates him with words, but through the fact that his music does not get played. I scan through at least 10 radio stations throughout the day as I drive during work all day (all different genres) and you just don't hear Billy Joel unless you actively search for him online.
Other people force us to change, but few people will say, "Just the way you are." This depends on whether there is love in it.
Possibly the greatest or at least one of the 10 greatest songs ever. I dont care if it only peaked @ #3 on US billboard hot 100. It's right up there with the best of the best.
同感てす。素敵です、
Don't go changing, trying to please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone, that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you wil long always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from my heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone, that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are...
Love i t.
Thank you for the letter. 👍

라이브가 예술이네요 ❤ 멋있어
Excellent. One of my favorite songs from the 70's. What an era to have been a child /teen, with all of that great music. There will never be another era like the 70's. PERIOD.
One of the best songs ever written, and also one of my all time favourite songs. Thank you Billy Joel for singing it perfectly, you’re truly a music icon. ❤️
Emmanuel Espino agreed
Absolutely!
Agreed.
By far the best version of this song.. The strong New York accent really is evident in this version which makes me love this song even more.
Wish all men had these lyrics in their heart in todays world.
I already forgot Bruno Mars' "just the way you are", but I still come back to Billy Joel's... that's the biggest difference in today's "music"
Jamirimaj you don’t compare the greatest Billy Joel to that Bruno Mars, Bruno Mars can never sing like Billy Joe!
And it's not just the music, just compare the lyrics side by side. It's like night and day
@@veronicianyveronica5290 LOL, u can say a guy can't sing like another guy because they have different voices.
This song brings a tear to my eye as I recall the great times I had as a young man and as a Billy Joel fan. Thanks to Billy for enriching our lives with his great music and talent.
