Billy Joel is quite the tunesmith. I am a fan of many of his songs, but this one is different. Lyrics have never been more important in any of his songs. IMHO, this is his absolute best.
Billy Joel has been through it. When he divorced his first wife, the one that been through it all with him .He kept her brother, his ex brother in law on the payroll as tour mgr or accounting , i dont we xactly, , but whst i do know is thst he robbed Billy blind, and Billy never sued him or had him arresdrt
She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain It's all about soul It's all about faith and a deeper devotion It's all about soul 'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion She's got to be strong 'Cause so many things getting out of control Should drive her away So why does she stay? It's all about soul She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming And I realize I must have gone a million miles away And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say It's all about soul It's all about knowing what someone is feeling The woman's got soul The power of love and the power of healing This life isn't fair It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough It's all about soul There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive It's all about soul It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow It's all about soul Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow You've got to be hard Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll But that's only part, you know in your heart It's all about soul
It’s true my twin flames 🔥 said me I go in his dreams at night , and now we have in separation again , but by the dreams we are tighter always at night
Listening to this song I saw my life flash before my eyes. I lost my wife a little over 2 years ago. I wait patiently for her to come home. She is my family, It's all about soul. I miss her with every ounce of my being ...
Don't worry, you will see her again. The only true killer of life is time and time is not set in stone, it goes forward, slows down, goes sideways, backwards. Everything that ever existed always existed and it is just energy gravitating, when you die your love will bring you back to her.
some of the best lyrics here :"And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say" magical!
Song reminds us guys how important it is to have the love of a good woman He sings about the attributes of my loving wife of 29 years,and reminds me how lucky I am!
I grew up on Long Island, , I saw Billy at My Fathers Place in Roslyn. When we both had the same motorcycle mechanic, as him, he asked if he could have my spring cleaning appt. I said sure for 10,000 and he said why dont we ride instead.. On 2 consecutive Sundays in March OS 1996. I got to carve turns, with the "down to earth genius" I have ever met. And I got deeper insight into one of favorite Musicians and now people on the planet. Can I tell you what he said...Sure, But " ID Rather "Leave a tender moment alone" and Keep the Faith. BeBlessed Chris Farrell
I even wept when listening to this song. The people who are in love all know why. I have to say, billy Joel is a great musician as he has soul and faith. He understands.
That “nah nah nah” bit is absolutely glorious. This entire album was an amazing way to end off a career of recording music that’s nothing short of amazing.
Billy Joel has a remarkable personality in his compositions. The lyrics speak of feelings simply and deeply human. This lyric is an X-ray of the soul itself. Is beautiful
The best song 'ever' written by Billy Joel, he is legendary. The most talented American singer, songwriter of all time. I have followed his career since the 1970's he's fantastic!
"It's all about soul It's all about faith and a deeper devotion It's all about soul ............................ This life isn't fair It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold You've got to get tough, but that ain't enough It's all about soul ............................

Billy Joel has made some great songs. This one is like a personal anthem.
in the movie in my mind, there is a character that sings this to a kid who failed too many times and he takes heart and tries again and succeeds. like this guy...
Any chance one of the other two is 'Everybody has a Dream' from The Stranger? It's one of the most masterful demonstrations of every aspect of musicality I've ever heard out of anyone.
My very first apartment, my little pup, LuLu, lots of vino, excellent music, Marlboro lights, starting a new career, ending an 8 year relationship and finding my freedom!!!❤❤❤❤
man's a brilliant wordsmith and i love getting back with this song every now and again. It's a gem. My love and marriage is music never been different. Plus good tv.
It's all about soul It's all about faith and a deeper devotion The woman's 👩 got soul The power of love and the power of healing Amazing Song One of the Best ❤️❤️❤️
I saw a video to this where they showed a gun salute for a fallen soldier...maybe I'm wrong but if you listen to the lyrics it describes a traumatised soldier and the love and strength his woman gives him.
I think a lot of we women can relate to this song - especially during the really trying times. There were many times when I've been so tired, so spent...but I remember my Grandmother born in 1905 who was tough as nails and had strong faith. I'm fortunate I take after her although I think she was stronger...Here's to every woman out there who is battling through hard times...we'll get through it. Keep the faith...
This man was, is and always will be a genious! Wow, I'm so impressed by his music, his messages and energy.. my favourite is "honesty" but I like the different frequencies from all of his masterpieces.. Billy, you made it right.. wow.. you are incredibly wise .. I'm speechless .. be blessed, dear soul 🙏💖 Lea
When you shared this song with me, you touched deep in my heart, Rick. I always get emotional when I hear it. It's like... I drink which word as if I was so thirsty and finally found an oasis in the middle of the desert I was going through. And yes, this is something that can't be described. That's all about soul. And you have touched my soul in so many ways that I even can't explain. I love you! Now I know why Billy Joel is one of your favorite composers.
one of the many treasured timeless exquisite gold tunes from this musical genius, thank you billy for sharing your amazing talent and songs and writing a storybook of timeless memories for us to enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Faith is a key theme on “River of Dreams” (1993), and “All About Soul” (1993) is one of six songs where we hear the word “faith” in the lyrics. “River of Dreams” is about Joel trying to regain his faith in himself and others after being betrayed by people he trusted. This was one of the last tunes he authored for the LP, and it finds him getting back to his old self. He explained : “The album kind of has an arc to it. It starts with a man whose faith has been shattered, and he slowly rebuilds his faith […] when he rediscovers the things that are really important in life - his family, his friends, his own sense of self. And ‘All About Soul’ is about the latter part of the album, where faith is being rediscovered.” ONE TRULY INSPIRING PIECE‼️ 💚🎹💜
Billy you hit the bullseye plus man on this one. Too bad more people can seem to connect at this level with their significant other. Powerfully done . Thank you

Whole album is something different from his usual (if that's even a thing lol). But I agree, this is absolute gold. Top 5 material
Although this album is one of my favourites by anyone ever
Very mature and sentimental to life
THE MUSIC IS OK BUT TH LYRICS HIT DEEP.....
She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say
It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul
There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive
She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul
The complete version, excellent. Love the video version as well, too bad it only hit #33 on Hot 100, think it also slipped into the R&B chart. *****+

99% of the time I couldn't care less about song lyrics; the music is what I listen to. Billy Joel is the rare exception.
when the world rejected this song I can see why he stopped writing.

My absolute favorite song by Billy Joel. Still listening in 2023.🎹🎼🎧

I’m 76 years old and I’m back realizing that it IS about SOUL !! 4:22
Thank you, Mr. Joel for giving us your wonderful music. It is hard NOT to get carried away by this song.
As hard as the rock, in that oooold rock and roll. Love that line

I love this song so much. I don't even like Billy Joel, but I love this song. It is absolutely one of my favorite songs.
After 4 years of Trump this country has lost her soul.
Me (god's strongest warrior) putting 3 drops of cyanide inside your coffee (a sinner) (not Billy Joel's fan)
Make it a pint of cyanide in Pumpkin's head; then try and find some soul.
when the world rejected this song I can see why he stopped writing.
One of my top 3 favorite Billy Joel vocal performances.
Any chance one of the other two is 'Everybody has a Dream' from The Stranger? It's one of the most masterful demonstrations of every aspect of musicality I've ever heard out of anyone.
1993 till now, how I love this song❤
A superb album to bow out from his pop album career ..great songwriting and hardly an average track on the whole record
Love Love Love Billy Joel!
One of the greatest musicians of all time. This song inspires me so much. Thank you, Mr. Joel for your music as well as Color Me Bad's back up vocals
This is one of my all time favorite songs
I love that chorus!!!!! IT'S ALL ABOUT SOUL!!!!!

after 40 years, this is one of my favorites. I wish he would have played it at MSG in June of 2022.
Beautiful composition. I think he still does it but recent clips reveal he brought the key down a whole step. He’s earned the right!

Perfection!
Uno dei migliori fra i tanti pezzi di Billy Piano MAN ... Top songwriter !!!
Along with Huey Lewis & The News’ “Fore”, this is my favourite album ever...
No sé qué sería de mi vida sin la música, apuesto que Billy Joel también le dedica este tema a ella.
Two Thousand Years is a masterpiece.
Es un gran tema. Es como una declaración. Un grande.
He is so special his music is timeless just perfection
