At the beginning, the words on the page were the lyrics in Billy Joel's own handwriting to Famous Last Words, which was the final track on his final studio of pop songs, River of Dreams from 1993. He seemed to know at the time that due to problems in his business and personal life that he would not be putting out new songs after that. His former manager and former brother-in-law had robbed him of millions of dollars and his marriage to Christie Brinkley was coming to an end, and she and his domestic life had been the inspiration for many of his songs in the latter part of his writing career. Some of the lyrics to Famous Last Words include: These are the last words I have to say That's why it took so long to write There will be other words some other day But that's the story of my life And these are the last words I have to say Before another age goes by With all those other songs I'll have to play But that's the story of my life And these are the last words I have to say It's always hard to say goodbye, hey oh oh But now it's time to put this book away Then that's the story of my life Hey, oh, oh, oh Then when the page turns at the beginning of the video, you see a blank page to presumably depict the silent years but the start of s new beginning with this new song. By the end of the video, you see words appearing on the page that are again in Billy's handwriting, which I assume are the lyrics to this new song and to symbolise that he is back and writing a new song(s) again.
This was very nice. The video was well done. Videos that look back I seem to like watching. Another great video and fun with you two in the morning, Always great way to start my day. To be completely honest I’m not doing anything to get ready for today just watching this video. Now I’ve got to hurry and get ready. Have a wonderful day. Take care. 🙏🙏🙏
First off, great reaction to a wonderful song and video ! Billy Joel was and is an amazing artist ! Wolfman it’s time to introduce Sue to the next generation of amazing artists ! You guys should check out just dropped about 5 or 6 days ago a cover of “ Turn the Lights Back On “ by Allie Sherlock ! Allie covers such a wide range of music like this song, but also shows respect and covers the older music like no one else ! She just dropped an hour ago her cover of the Tina Turner version of “ Proud Mary “ , both covers done “ The Allie Way “ Live on the street in front of an audience ! 🎤🎸🎼
Billy and Christie had one daughter together, Alexa Ray Joel(born on December 31, 1985). Billy and his current wife, Alexis have two younger daughters together. Alexa has followed in her dad's footsteps and is quite the piano player, songwriter, and singer as well.
The younger scenes of Billy was very sophisticated deepfake technology, placed onto a double playing the piano. So the entire face itself was artificial intelligence. Only when you see the older Billy is it really him, and the montage at the end.
Very cool video! AI is a little scary😬! Personally, I think it’s never too late “to turn the lights back on,” if I’m going to be totally honest. Have a great weekend! Over the weather
Lol. I was banned from listening to KISS and heard about backward playing songs. I still love mocking my mom about Gene Simmons being Jewish and a conservative.
Listened to him as a kid in the 80s. Loved Billy into the 90s. He's way cooler than Elton John. I ride and play piano. Love the fact that Billy's a motorcycle enthusiastist and John is not

These are the last words I have to say
That's why it took so long to write
There will be other words some other day
But that's the story of my life
And these are the last words I have to say
Before another age goes by
With all those other songs I'll have to play
But that's the story of my life
And these are the last words I have to say
It's always hard to say goodbye, hey oh oh
But now it's time to put this book away
Then that's the story of my life
Hey, oh, oh, oh

Freddy Wexler wrote Turn the Lights Back On with a little input from Billy.
@@kevinnelson66 Not the story the two of them tell. What is your source?
@@kevinnelson66There were actually 4 writers of this song.
@@cormacflynn4916Billy and Freddy both tell the factual story about who wrote the song.
Exactly! And it is not what kevinnelson66 says.
Famous Last Words was the last song on his last record.
Such a great opening shot!
wonderful song and video thx for reacting

To be completely honest hope you weren’t late for work 😂
@@SueSueandthewolfman I’m late if I’m on time. I always go in early. Honest 🤚

Thx so much for the info Kevin !
Thanks for posting that correction.
I want to hear this guy play

never too late! Thank you for being honest ....

You sound like you grew up when we did!!
Awesome song, and yeah I think they used AI for his younger versions.
AI was used for the younger Billys' faces and hair. A classically trained pianist was used as the body double for younger Billy. His name escapes me.
Listened to him as a kid in the 80s. Loved Billy into the 90s. He's way cooler than Elton John. I ride and play piano. Love the fact that Billy's a motorcycle enthusiastist and John is not
we can barley hear you guys !! Pump up the actual volume please '
thank you!
