Lyrics:
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

This has got to be one of the most criminally underrated songs ever...
agreed
billy joel for president please
agreed for the last comment and the first comment

Ye man
This song hits the kids who try’s so hard to be everything everyone wants them to be but never enough for themselves. Alone, tired, and disappointed
it isn’t possible to describe it better than you did sir
I’m broken.... don’t know if I can do this anymore
@@RafaelXd23 when will you realize Vienna waits for you? When you’re young you always think every smallest mistake is the end of the world when in reality you have time and everything will set into place when it’s time to.
Oh that's me, except I'm not alone
It’s true I’m the kid
I'm brazilian. I'm 24 years old and I've worked my ass off for the past 7 years trying to pay and finish my flying course. Now , thaks to God, I just finished it. Timing couldn't be worse. Aviation, during corona days, can't get any worse.
I have no job, no other expertise other than flying and here I am, as anxious as any man can get. So I decided to light up a cigarette (I know, i must stop), and watch the sunset.
Then I remembered, out of nowhere, this song that my dad used to listen during my childhood roadtrips. God. I feel like brand new. The lyrics touched my hearth like the boost I needed to keep on going, like I always did. Thank you, Billy Joel, you might not have changed the world around me, but you sure did change my day.
wholesome, I hope all turn out well for you!!!!!!
Boa cara
Esse é o poder da arte! Como diria o grande Ferreira Gullar: a arte existe porque a vida em si não basta! Abração e boa sorte...
Fly high, brother. Someday I may join you in those clear skies. Keep your head up and you'll soon fly free.
You're strong. We all need to keep going. Soon we'll see the sun rising again.
"You'd better cool it off before you burn it out", "Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while" - Billy Joel was so ahead of his time!
If he really was, he'd know that phones in the future wouldn't have a hook
@@fernmann7 may not have one but surely we're all hooked to them
@@Ron-hm2jxyou get it fr.
@@fernmann7unless you have a Xiaomi phone. That battery is so bad. shit only works in wire.
He'd been there done that. The best lyrics come from experience and knowledge.
as a person who struggles with anxiety, this song is a godsend to me.
I too struggle with severe anxiety disorder, living on the edge of a non stop panic attack is no fun. People dont realize how serious and debilitating it is. Everything snowballs, then you become unable to deal with, cope or focus in the smallest ways.
C Leigh ah i am so sorry! i have never been diagnosed, but i try my best to cope with what i feel. therapy and good friends have been a godsend for me. i do agree with you that most people do not understand how hard it is
@@Stephanie-ml5eo Mine started 4 months before I was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago. My anxiety and inner non stop shaking, migraines,eye pain along with some fine motor skills glitches in hands then tripping over words lead to Dr then Neurologist. These symptoms began and were triggered by a huge emotional/psychological trauma of the sick betrayal of my husband being involved and engaging in hard core internet porn. It eventually destroyed me and our marriage after 32 years, to find out 6-7 years later after the first big blow, he hadnt stopped, but was only deeper and more involved. Paid sex solicitation and video porn memberships, sex and porn profiles of himself,.. I discovered a porn video he made of himself. He conned others, friends and family that he was squeaky clean and he was no longer doing it. I had a 3 year legal battle, which only took a huge toll on me mentally and physically. No one wanted to believe he or it was that bad. I had to be over reacting, he just "wasnt that kind of guy" Here's the kicker, 2 months after I was diagnosed, and needed him the most for support, he did a huge career change within the same company, went from working on the Union side for 23 years to taking a job as company management into Human Resources. Which that was what he became obsessed with and for his whole life. He threw away vacation time he always took, worked much longer hours to be a company suck up and had no time or availability for me being newly diagnosed with MS or family. The big IRONY, is now the porn whore is a top Senior HR Manager, for this large company. He is now remarried, and is still in full swing of his sick addiction also is into "cash services" All of this is going on right under the new little woman's nose, she is clueless about his spending because they dont share any banking or credit card accounts,..( its her 4th marriage and she finally landed her cash cow) During our whole marriage I managed all of finances for absolutely everything and we had all shared accounts, in both of our names, When I separated from him a year before, to shake a turd out of him, wake him up, that he was destroying our marriage and loosing me,.. It hit him finally about a month later that he HAD lost his wife, that he needed to get help and make changes, he needed to earn my love and trust back. But it was short lived and all a show and a facade, and the "New him" lasted about 4 months, Then came the betrayal of him tangling up with another woman who thought "he was single" that blinded sided me since we were supposedly working on out marriage, she discovered that I was still very much in the picture and confronted him, of Why is you wife still here?" He threw it in my face about her, and that she saw him for "the wonderful person he was", ,.. sadly I reached a breaking point,.. couldnt take any more betrayals deciet and lies,..became suicidal. I had family abandoned me, friends were not there, it was like I had the plague,.. I was deemed the broken one and he was still the good guy, ( but they didnt know or care to know what all it entailed) less than a year later the legal process had to start, to end it with him,.. It was discovering how more in-depth his addiction and engagement was, was finding charges on a credit card I gave him to use separate from the one I used (both names were on his card as users) thats when some masked charges appeared, when questioned of course he lied, I started doing some serious digging into all of it, and unraveled everything that brought it to me ultimately calling him out and confronting him, saying,.. He was a sick bastard, more than I ever could imagine,.. He then started calling me every name in the book, UNTIL I called him by his PORN USER NAME. Oh he shut up, FAST, backtracked, saying "Hun, can we talk about this?" I said hell NO! WE ARE DONE. But my life has never been the same, friends who should have been there for me werent and even had betrayals by them. I have had to take him back to court 2 times in last 7 years, which was debilitating. And NOW just 4 months ago, on Mar. 20th, 2020,.. I was in a serious car accident, a guy speeding, running a red light, T-boned me totaling my car, my body and a mess. I was in the hospital on trauma floor for 10 days then a rehab/ nursing facility for another 11. I suffered cervical fracture, a severe concussion syndrome, migraines, nausea, injuries to my ribs, (more injury to an already degenerative bad hip) and a meniscus tear in knee. I wear a cervical collar most of the day, and am on a walker, I cant take more than a couple (painful) steps on my own. I live alone and dont have family or outside help let alone any real human contact, other than when delivery people from restaurants that show up. I am so stranded, I now have no car (it was totaled, had to hire an attorney to deal with insurance companies) so I have been a stress mess. I have a long road ahead of recovery, or if i will recover fully which is highly doubtful being 64. The isolation has been terrible, my first steps out of the house in 4 months was going to hospital for xrays and neurosurgeon appt. I come to You Yube to escape and watch music video that I lpve and enjoy... Im sorry, I have rattled on and vented so much,.. I didnt mean to,.. I guess I needed to though. Im glad Stephanie you have good support, because as from the experiences of not having any of that,.. It is HELL!. You take care of yourself, my thoughts are with you!
word, it’s fucking amazing
@C Leigh Sayjng this isn’t much, but I hope you’re alright. Stay strong. I suffer from anxiety too, just know that you aren’t alone in this world. People care about you and are willing to help. You’ve got this.
The song for those of us who rush through life thinking we’re always two steps behind.
@@billyjoel2064 fake
Right, right..."take your time, don't rush, relax". But then before you know it, you're 40 years old and you haven't done anything with your life. Like me.
True I feel so anxious coz I'm late to catch up with everything
But listening to his voice and this song nake me appreciate everything and just have a solid second without feeling like my heart is going to stop thank you for this amazing work ❤️
@@Glowstone_Guy atopy and I'm
Time sure slips away from us. One day we're rushing to find the answer. The next, much of that time is in the review mirror.
"Slow down, you're doing fine. You can't be everything you want to be before your time."
I think I really needed to hear that right now.
EDIT: So...two years later, I've just been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and I find myself returning to this song. I'm not sure exactly where to go from here, and I don't know how my life will change after this, if it will change at all, but this makes me feel comfortable in a time where I feel very lost and confused. Like I said, I'm not sure where to go from here, but I hope I can let myself take everything one step at a time. And I hope to have this song with me, wherever I go.
Sameeee
Hope you’re doing ok :)
@@beatricefox937 Yea I'm good, thanks for asking
Vienna waits for you, friend.
Very similar to Cat Stevens Father to Son w that theme
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life.
Same to you, God bless you friend. 💛

JustusTubes I have my own interpretation of what that line means as *I'm sure* you do too. I'd just love to hear what Billy Joel meant by that line. 😕🔞🛫💳🗯🛏
That’s my new favorite quote, alongside “intelligence is hitting the marks no one else can hit, while genius is hitting the marks which no one can even see.”
That was literally the one line that really stuck with me. Guess we think alike.
It’s 2am…I just turned 31 two hours ago. Feeling a little lost these days. Can’t sleep so I started silently praying for guidance, then mid prayer this song pops into my head. He knew what I needed.
Ay happy bday g

It gets better I promise , love a 40y xxx
@@chantelleflynn9984 I needed to hear that, thank you❤️
As a girl who's nearly 17 and still doesn't have a clue what they want to do for a career and everyone is constantly asking you about college and such, this is such a comforting song. Especially the second verse. It makes me feel better about everything :))) I love Billy Joel
You seriously don't know how lucky you are! Youth is King. You have your whole life in front of you. What I wouldn't give to be 17 again. Enjoy every minute of it sweetie, you will be just fine. God bless and Good luck, you got this.
Chill I'm 24 and feel the same way. It's always a new struggle or path to face
It's ok to feel that way, my advice would be don't take rushed decisions, you are pretty young and maybe you see a lot of people aroud you that already knows what they want, but it´s different for everybody; hey maybe there are others just like you but they are to afraid to show it ,but in the inside they are really lost, some of them would feel the way you feel now latter. Just berathe, take your time, and if pople keep asking say the true but in way that tells people it's not because you don't care but rather because you know how importat this decision is, maybe you found someone that feels or felt the same way and can talk about that
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two. When will you realize? Vienna waits for you.
Don't worry about rushing stuff. Enjoy the journey and your life will go just fine. Don't live by anybody else's metrics of what you should be doing or should've done. You've got this.
Enjoy being young. You don't get it back. I'm 30 and glad I had fun when I was young. I feel bad you have to be young in 2020 with all the cancel culture.
I’m graduating college in five days, came to this song for a breather and reminder that I don’t have to know everything for everything to be alright in the end.
Amen!
Wow!! Damn good stuff Well written

Please, tell your friends and anyone that will listen ❤️
All is not lost for Gen z. Lots of them were taught and understand common sense.
Joel probably has no clue how many people he has helped with this song
He does.....he told David Letterman this was in his personal top 5 songs of his. Dont forget his daughter attempted suicide as teen.
Oh wow I did not know that
Course he realizes how much his music touches people people this is the ( piano man) classic. I am thankful as a long islander we have it solo good and a ultimate gift we got Billy Joel thank you Mr.joel
hahahaha yeahh seriously. There is NEVER a bad time
to siddown, deep breath, and listen to this song
too bad he didn't help himself with it, he didn't take his own advice to "slow down you crazy child"... I'd be honored if some Billy Joel fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of VIENNA and ALLENTOWN on my YT channel in tribute to the master. No autotune or digital editing. Peace and stay safe.
I wish I could meet everyone listening to this song.
Edit: the replies are so heart warming. Sending love to you guys.
i wish too
we all can meet up in Vienna someday hah
Virtual hi five for now 🙂
Same!
♥️
This song is my own personal therapy. When I feel overwhelmed about all the things I think I’m not getting, I just put this on repeat, start crying and let the music heal my heart. Works every time!
***Edit- Thanks for the likes, I want you to know that I went to Vienna, my dream since I was 10 yrs old finally came true ❤❤ I cried a lot! Please, don’t stop chasing your dreams. “It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? 🥹😭
I do the same. It works like magic to my heart
I couldn't understand the words, and check out the words, there have Picture sense
oh my god this is exactly how I feel right now. Such an amazing song, touches me so deeply for some reason. I love it.
Same. This song is therapy! ❤
This song is so powerful ❤️
60 years. I am FINALLY going to Vienna. Wished I would have embraced this song years ago. ♡
🎉
58 and I’m finally going to Vienna…
Paris is a better choice, but after the Olympics. Prague is the most beautiful large city in Europe, but the food is not very good. I have lived in both.
Things happen when they do for a reason!!! Enjoy. 😉
This song really says “slow down” for all of us crazy ambitious children who always pressure ourselves to achieve one goal after another.
We gotta smell the roses.
I agree
yes it literally says that
@@mallbratgirl_3005 Rude and unnecessary. Were you having a bad day?
@@Bubba__Sawyer no i was being sardonic
I'm fucking crying righ now. I'm 27 years old, I used to have so many dreams, I used to think I could do everthing. But somehow, this hope desappear, I can't see a step towards, I'm unployeed over 6 month, I cant find a way to go on, I feel like my life just end. This song hit me so strong that I cant stop crying and I'm not sure if its bad or good, I justa wanna cry as much as I can.
Everything will get better dude
You got this, keep your chin up.

Wish you the best. Remember no one improves feeling sorry for themselves. Keep your head up and don’t ever quit.
Hope you are okay now. God bless
Everythings gonna be fine dude just be patient
I played this song for my daughter many years ago. She was so ambitious, so full of conviction. All grown up now. She is the purpose in my life, a love I was completely disarmed by the first time I held her in my arms as a newborn. I fear to imagine what could have been had it not been for her mother and her, so long ago, saving me from what surely would have been a miserable existence. This will be our father daughter dance song at her wedding this Saturday.
Lovely
@James What???
that’s so sweet!! i hope the wedding and the father-daughter dance was amazing n special ❤️
@James i don’t even need to read your full comment to know you really need healing and prayers, i wish the best for you James
@@chrispaul1326 I'm back. What you wanna say to me now, Chris? Huh?
Now I'm on the way to Vienna and listening to this. Life is anything but predictable. Things may not seem perfect right now, but it all works out somehow in the end. And if it doesn't, it's not the end. Looking forward to a memorable 2024.
This hit so deep and I hope you have a very safe trip and great life stranger
this is deeeep Jesus loves you pal have a good one :)
Hope you had (or have?) a pleasant stay. And some chill visits in our coffee houses.
Thank you so much, I'm in really bad times, but reading your comments is like a breeze of cold fresh air.
I just passed my law exam and here I am to thank this song that helped me so much when I had anxiety during my studies for it and having doubts if I could make it.... BUT I DID! I MADE IT!!!! I am a lawyer now!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!

Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, then tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do
And only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Such amazing lyrics
Reading Billy's autobiography, he explains who he wrote this song about and I was shocked a bit. He wrote it for his father who left his mother and went back to live in....Vienna.....after they had come here to get out of Europe years ago. He did visit his father in Vienna although they didn't really reconcile. He resented his father leaving his mother especially going back to a place that held bad memories for his ancestors. The song is so beautiful, and I used to tell my daughter it reminded me of her since she was always burning the candle at both ends....always doing, doing, doing. So much to do and only so many hours in a day.
One of the best I have heard
His daughter was actually the same I think. Im pretty sure she tried to kill herself and that’s why this is one of his favorite songs he’s ever made
@@kni9ne600 ❤️❤️
no because we have the exact same name-
My daughter is exactly the same as yours. And now she has heart disease. I tried to tell her to slow down but she has the fear of missing out syndrome.
Maaaaan this is the perfect song for everyone who has been chasing some really big dream and hates themselves.
Aka me :(
@@brianmaysprettycooleh9271 ditto
i'm 17 years old and this song comforts me SO MUCH, the pandemic came and my adolescence passed in the blink of an eye and this year I'll be 18. i was so sure about life at 15 and now it's all an uncertainty after the pandemic (which we're still). The pressure of being 18 torments me every single day, the pressure of being an adult and acting like one..i don't know if I'm going to live an unhappy life in a job I don't like with superficial loves and bad friendships or a life totally the opposite of that. I hate feeling like an adult at just 17 (18 in a few months)… i'm scared, very scared to have grown up so fast, I just want to be held by my parents again, sleep on the couch and wake up in bed... growing up sucks and to make it worse I'm in this process totally lonely :(
edit: i want to thank everyone who took the time to write me these beautiful and sincere words, i'm reading everything and keeping it in my heart... 💗 i really appreciate your story.
and for those who are asking, my birthday is already on the 18th of august, i'm sad to arrive so fast but even more because i have little time left of ABBA's dancing queen hahaha idk many cool songs about eighteen so i accept suggestions
Oh man I feel you. I am also a young adult and the pandemic brought my life to a halt for far too long and continues to limit me a lot now, and I feel like I'm behind on everything and struggling to catch up and be an adult like I'm supposed to be. But hey. It sounds like you are too. So it's not just me. And it's not just you. Good luck stranger. I really do believe Vienna waits for us.
We were all scared growing up because inside we still feel like a kid. Don't worry too much though, eventually you will figure it out. Find a good companion to share your life with and don't be too hard on yourself when you screw up sometimes. We all do :-) I am pushing 50 by the way, so I learned a little along the way
Hang in there, don't let negative people into your life, and shoot for the stars. Oh and be humble, you will be fine.
@@floydfanboy2948 you’re 18 with 32 years of experience.
22 in 2 months and I remember how I felt the same way turning 18. Life goes by quick it feels like just a year ago I was 15. Anyways I’m doing what I love, making middle class wage doing it, taking care of my mental and physical health, have my own place and found the girl I want to marry. I still have time to be a child. Hell just the other day I went to the trampoline park and went ham. Everyone was looking at me and my girl like we were crazy because we’re the only 2 adults jumping. Time goes by quick but it’s about the choices you make and what you’re doing to still embrace your inner child.
i have no idea how to be an adult. I feel like i raised myself and now i have to raise an adult too. I’m really scared.
I’m 18 and i feel like i need a parent more than ever. I would like to make 100 steps in 1. But i get lost in thought. I guess Vienna waits for me , and you, and every terrified child. Thank you, Billy Joel.❤️
I undertand you in every word you said. I'm in the same situation. Carry on, man. Vienna waits for us!
To me this song is about how we want to see ourselves “making it” in the future… but there is so much self-doubt, fear and both external (and internal) pressure on the path to it.
I have a keychain that says “vienna” to remind me that, even though I’m not always 100% sure of what I’m doing, I’m determined and I will do anything to live the life I deserve. I’ll get to my personal Vienna one day.
I love this. Such a good way to look at life. I needed to hear this today, thank you

This song is for the talented kids and teens who rushed life and are now rotting in their 20s rediscovering their beauty
If you're watching this in 2024, I love you and you're not alone.

13 going on 30. I was 10 when it came out in 2004.
I’m 28 now and this song actually means something to me.
I’m 26 going on 27, and that’s where I first heard this song, too. I love that movie and this song.
I was 16 when the movie came out and thats where I first heard it too.
I'm the same age and that movie is the first time I heard this song ❤
ya holy time flies by im 12 but this song is something :)
We’re the same age! I seen a beautiful girl listening to this song and I just wanted to scream over her music but my light changed. I turned left, she was going straight. Once again I’m stuck in the middle while Everyone is going forward with their lives.
This song hit hard for my 29 year old son when he heard it for the first time, brought tears to his eyes. Been listening to Billy for 40 years, thank you
Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day
Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize? Vienna waits for you
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know, you can't always see when you're right, you're right
You've got your passion. You've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize? Vienna waits for you
Slow down, you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's all right you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize? Vienna waits for you
Don't you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old?
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don't you realize? Vienna waits for you
When will you realize? Vienna waits for you
Thank You!
Thank you Maria
Thanks
Thank you, you’re a star
Danke Schon Maria!
I had a mental breakdown today. As a last year university student I have anxiety about the future. Over the past months I never tell my parent about this because I don't want them to know that I struggle to finish my final assignment, but today I had the courage to call my dad about my anxiety. The conversation calm me down and reassure me to not give up. After the call I went straight to spotify to sing away my sadness and this is the first song that played randomly when I clicked my playlist. It feels like someone just pat my head and say that everything will work out well. Thank you for this beautiful song
I hope youre doing well wherever you are!
Sending positive vibes your way!

I knew this song before I had discovered it. If that makes any sense... the kinda song you hear when you’re younger and fades away with time, But then you’re reintroduced years later. And now realizing what the words actually are. I needed this.
i have the exact same feeling, i don't really know if i heard this song before, it just feels like that
@@JavieraCS_99 You probably heard it from 13 going on 30 this song played in the movie.
Is it okay to cry when listening to this?
Ano.
In 10 minutes I’ll be turning 19. This is my favourite song. It’s comforting, even tho I feel like I’m wasting my youth away. I always feel like some place is waiting for me, far away from here.
happy birthday friend! hope you find your Vienna

Happy late birthday
It’s 3am and you know you can’t trust your thoughts at this time -all your worries and anxieties will start to creep in. Somehow listening to this song just comforts me that everything’s gonna be okay. Thank you Billy Joel.
stay strong you can do this
Keep on, please, things will get better if you keep pushing on believe me. I know this is 2 months old i just saw your comment i hope you are doing at least 1% beter than 2 months ago.
lmaoo i cry more when i listen to this because no one told me stuff like this
I have quite an uncommon problem.
I’m a dreamer with a bad (sometimes not so bad) habit of romanticizing life. And while I’m blessed enough to not have given up on life, I often feel overwhelmed by all the things I want to do. There’s so much to learn yet only many hours in a day (lmao). And somehow I’ve developed the misconception that I have to start right now at this moment and do everything I want at the same time, or else wont become as good as the ones ahead of me. This song kind of pulls me back down to earth, telling me it’s okay to dream but that I should stop imagining it all come true. I can’t do everything and I have to realize that. But at the same time it reassures me that as long as I keep my calm and do my best, Vienna will be waiting for me.
this song is a literal recipe for everyone. it makes me cry yet makes me feel 10x better.
You said a mouthfull.
@@pavlovsunhappydog okay?
@@xtonibx5770 I mean it in a good way. It's the journey, not the destination, as they say.

slow down you , crazy child
you have the same problems as me , no lie :(
when I was addicted to Meth for many years this song made me feel a nice reminder to quit. I have been sober since 2018. "You know when your wrong but you cant always see when you are right.."
Lyrics:
Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me,
Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right)
You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)
Why don't you realize... Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?

Thank you
You ever go for a drive with tears in your eyes?
that hit deep
My friend was just killed in Israel, she loved this song, and I really felt the reason the first time she showed it to me. She was the most joyful and cheerful person that I ever knew, and she is exactly the girl who the song is about… She was the first girl I fell in love with, her aura was something special. This song is forever in my heart with her face in front of my eyes every time I listen to it…
I am so sorry, all the strength to you and all those effected.
Its a beautiful song, RIP to her and the others and peace to those who suffer from the war.
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Oh honey, I'm so sorry for your loss! Thank you for sharing her memory with us. Do try to think of her passing, more of a graduation. She's completed her mission here and is lovingly watching you from the other side. She's still in your heart space. Get to a quiet place and feel. Sending hugs! I know it's hard. 💖✨✨✨✨
@Ben-qo6fxpiss off would you
I'm so sorry for your loss! It sounds like she was an amazing person and this song reminds you of that, I hope you will eventually be able to cherish the times you had together whenever you think of her or this song
Ah, it seems all of the gifted kid burnouts are having a meeting
Edit: I keep getting notifications for likes on this comment. I originally wrote this almost 4 years ago when I was at the lowest point in my depression. I had no friends, was failing classes, and generally felt like an absolute failure. For anyone actually reading, as corny as it is, things do get better. Burnout can be reversed and you will find things you love to live for. My original comment was a (lowkey unfunny) joke about how helpless I felt in my inability to grasp onto the greatness I promised myself as a child. But a low point does not equate to an end point. I picked myself back up and I'm working towards my goals even when it gets hard. There will always be difficulties and sometimes I still feel like giving up on everything and retreating to the comfort of my self-destructive thoughts but as the years go by the urge decreases. Being a "gifted kid" doesn't mean you automatically become a failure as an adult. And I truly hope anyone who took the time to read this will take the time to take care of themselves to heal any wounds and become who they have always had the capability to be. Don't be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
yeah
Whoah, don't call me out like that bro
this comment is so funny
Yes, present 😅
I feel attacked, except I'm not gifted :/
A few lines in this song turned out to be so relatable that I went, "OH SHIT" out loud.
absolutely true like i stopped everything and just sat for a while, listening and digesting the lyrics
This song saved my life. I was going through a really hard time and I was so close to ending it all over the dumbest thing, but I turned this song on and it helped me so much. Whenever i'm upset, I listen to it. It makes me feel calm. happy. I wish I could thank Billy personally for making such wonderful music that people can actually relate to. If I ever get the chance, it would be the best day of my life. I'm only 17 years old and he's the only person I really want to meet, just so I could tell him how much of an impact he had on me. This song stopped me from cutting it short. Ah I love it so much
good luck. no use in bein sad honey. life's too short to waste it by being upset. happiness is your own mindset.
+Brennan Boltin - one of my BJ faves, too
ellie Vienna is there for you!:)
Btw greetings from Vienna:3
Billy’s a bloody legend ay. Love his music 👊😎
Is it just me or do Billy Joel's songs make people feel better? Even that very depressing piece, Tomorrow is Today, can cheer up anyone. Amazing, to say the least.
this song helped me so much mentally when i graduated. still cry every time i listen to it, it just hits home. the way he’s addressing this to “you” makes it feel like it’s truly meant for me, even if it’s obviously not. nonetheless it’s comforting to hear the words you’ve always wished someone would tell you.
I was singing it when I Read it
The “You” is the younger version of ourselves, it’s future you talking to child you. The “You” is all of us!
Depression was knocking at my door and this song made me feel so much better. It always does.
Are you okay now?
Same. I’m very depressed but music (mostly oldies and not modern shitty music) makes me feel happy. It fills me with purpose
yeah me too.
Did you open the door when it came to your house? Or did it just wait?
...I cry....I don’t know...
1:40 the lyrics
You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true

Me, too!
My Mom was born in Vienna!
naaaaa….I just want a lot of crying people. just kidding....I probably would pick something from he Beatles.
This song was my Lizzie bear she tried so hard to make a difference in the world and died at 26 in car accident and she would have been so good for this world and here I am 71 still wishing she was here my God animals and people she would have helped she saved some animals but we me her tried I love you Lizzie bear may you rest in peace!!!
This is the song of my life. Seriously.
Hits hard. I'm one of those teenagers at my school, who others see as smart. It is exhausting trying to maintain my "role", i feel like i constantly push myself to my limits just to be seen as smart. I feel like if i lost my status as "smart", i wouldn't have anything to offer. I have put myself in a never ending loop.
me too
My best friend from elementary school was always the smartest girl in the class, we all knew that, but when she enrolled in college she started failing, i was doing so much better than her back then, she gave up after three years and dropped out and we all still consider her the smartest of all, if you're smart once you'll always be the smart one trust me. But that's not even the point, im sure there's so much more to you and if your colleges can't see it, that just shows how they are not capable of recognizing the real stuff, you don't have to be pressured by others around you, just focus on yourself and you'll see how amazing you really are and people around you that actually matter always know what a great person you are!
@@annabelleeurich8822 don’t be that person. The one who goes for the low blow when someone is pouring their heart out. It’s a rotten thing to do.
I know this is 2 months later, but try to back off just a bit from that identity. I’m in my 50s now but remember what it was like to have just about my whole self-image be tied to my academics and intelligence. As you said it’s exhausting to keep it up. If you can, please try to find another thing you enjoy. Let yourself be known for it too. This will pass but it’s really hard going through it.
@@annabelleeurich8822 english is not my native language :)
I'm 14 and I've never listened to a single Billy's song before, I've only came here cuz a friend told me that this song is amazing and, mate, I couldn't agree more
I’ve known him for 7 of my 12 years here and now I have a love hate relationship with piano man cus it was played at a very close family member’s funeral
This song is a piece of art, all the people who give everything for everyone else and wanna impress everyone but don’t care how bad it hurts you, you just wanna make everyone happy. The people like that really understands this song. This song is the most amazing piece of art ever.
Honestly, these lyrics sound like they were written for me. Really, weren’t they written for everyone, though?
What? You too?
Yes
Yea
Happen to me too
They were written for basically everyone because of the nature of capitalism, and how you have to be productive all day everyday, always doing something, or else you're going to say behind and have a miserable life
This song hits me because of how as a teenager I wanted to grow up so quickly and didn’t get to enjoy it. My dad would always tell me to slow down and enjoy being a kid… now I’m here at almost 24 with 2 kids and married and wondering where all the time went. I miss my dad
I miss my dad too
Don’t worry bro I’m 15 almost 16 n i still think that I’m a 13 year old boy you’re not the only one
i just turned 19 yesterday. time reallly flies by way too fast. i think about the times when i was a kid and there’s so much to go back on and i wish i was more ambitious and outgoing with all my decisions but hey i’m very happy with the way i turned out 😌

I've been listening to this song when it came out in the movie 13 going 30. I will now be 30 in a month. It hits right in the feels. I'm still a kid living a adult life..
31 now and the same.
same, i just finished watching 13 going on 30 again now & it left me feeling so weird. i love that movie, but it made me realise how much of myself i've lost over the years. i'll be 30 soon too, but damn sometimes i miss the kid i once was.
I’ll be 31 crying at 2 am to this. Wish it sunk in back then
33 next Thursday (June 22) and absolutely the same! 🩵

This song makes me feel like that it’s okay to take time for yourself
Hello everyone, welcome to the meeting of the traumatized children all grown up now realizing how much of their young years were lost to terribly coping with said trauma now that you're an adult you might be a little better than before and you're crying realizing "omg I was so young when that happened" bc you had to grow up so fast so soon and you were also the gifted kid at some point with some topic and you felt like you burned out at some point amidst all the tragedy but never truly loosing ur talent and your finally finding some joy in life bc life did get better (ifykyk) but now you're reflecting
How are you all? Got ur stuffed animals? Got ur water? Snacks good now let's all proceed with our together crying sesh
This comment made me extremely happy, it's nice to see people are going through the same things that you are going through, in the day and age it's extremely hard to feel connected to people but I'm glad that there are moments like this that people can bond of their hard ships in life, so thank you for this :)

This song hits different when you are almost 30 and feel anxious about not conquering anything yet, every time I hear this song, it makes me wanna cry. Too much pressure.
Then cry - I personally can't help it while listening to this
Same here. I'm 29, but I decided to move in to Germany next year. Although I'm a polyglot and I need a job, I can't find a job. Then there's no working future here in Italy and for someone who's almost 30 years old and should feel fulfilled it's really sad, frustrating and anguished. I keep my fingers crossed.
This song has probably saved my life, more than once.
I suspect I'm not the only one.

3. You may be right
2. She’s right on time
1. Scenes from an Italian restaurant

@@seanreynolds1843 Wow, you really do pretty much have to be Billy Joel to write Vienna, for me the single greatest work of popular music ever recorded, and have *four* other songs that you prefer. That said, I am a massive sucker for And So It Goes and You May Be Right, myself, so it's just awesome to see them on the list (not that the other two aren't great as well).
Currently on a bus to Vienna and this song came on shuffle
So now you are in Austria?
this is the first album that i purchased with my own money. I was 11 and i still have it.
With all this coronavirus going on in this world. I listen to this song for hope and relief. I was told today that everyones hours got cut at work and be working little hours. Barely enough to cover my rent but Idk what might happen later. I'm just hoping I still continue to work and get a paycheck. But besides that, I will overcome. As long I have my health and family that's what matters the most.
The world has changed so much in a matter of weeks. I hope you come out the other side healthy and resume work :)
@@wilmaaherne2040 we all will
In moments like these, when I'm feeling completely loss and utterly defeated at 23 years of age... this song feels like a warm cup of cocoa in a cold day.
I'm also 23 and kinda feels same but have a lot of hope to make things better for everyone. Sending some strength!
I am 24 and lately life's been pretty rough. Nothing is working for me. At times I feel like nothing will ever gonna work as I want in my life. Everything seems bleak
20s are so confusing and life seems to become certainly like a "race". Every decision we take seems to be definitive and days start to run in such a crazy way, but everything takes its right place eventually (I'm in my mid-forties now and it is until now that I understand so many things). Just take day by day and as Baz Luhrman said ..."Sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you are behind. At the end the only race that matters is the one against yourself". Best wishes from Mexico!...
The 23 crisis is how i like to call it, all of us have been there somehow...
I felt like that before I started going to the Orthodox Church in Edinburgh last November. Its not even been a year and my life has transformed. Not necessarily materially, but in my outlook, Glory to God. You're special and loved, never forget that. Put your trust in something greater than you, easier said than done, I know, and hope for the best)) i hope you're doing okay
I am only 16, going through a crisis of "where will I be in the future?". In one day I devised a step by step plan of how I will get out of here and become (enter my dream job) only problem is that it wasn't cheep, and no way on earth it was going to happen so I fell into a months load depression.
This song hits me so hard. "Slow down you crazy child!" Will always be what I hear when I freak out again.
Literally same hun. We got this
Leo Ben through*
Haha! Same.
And that question will always be there, but the best we can do is to try to focus on the present
What's your dream job?
I always come to this song whenever i feel the pressure of life, telling me to keep doing more, keep moving through these problems... its a nice reminder to just breathe and relax... Rome wasn't built in a day, a niether will be my success if i keep going so hard. just slow down, and take it one day at a time.
i'm almost a teenager . i wasted my entire childhood by growing up too fast . i'll never get over it , but at least i have this billy joel song .
Don't worry. Teenagehood is still part of childhood. You're not wasting your time.
you're gonna be okay, champ. You got this too. 32 and still discovering myself. Take your time.
Be happy your childhood is over
slow down your doing fine take the phone off the hook
I did the same. Now I’m 17 and letting myself crack up with my inner child. Mostly by myself since people just don’t know how to treat me after they see my childish side. It’s gonna be ‘A’ okay kid
Vienna= calm, paradise, the moment where you can relax, where you finally meet everyone’s needs, your own needs💕
To me this song represents we will get to what ever Vienna is in our own time. Be gentle with ourselves.
Vienna is a wonderful city btw, would recommend visiting/living
My mom passed very unexpectedly a year ago and this was her song to us five girls. Keeps me pushing. Rest in heaven mommy I'll see you one day 🧡🧡

i'm sorry for your loss. hope you are all doing alright.
I was such a try hard growing up. Always going above and beyond every day to become everything my dad wanted me to be. My plan was always to go straight to Uni right after high school like he always wanted, but it wasn’t until I was a Senior that I realized I had no idea what I wanted to do once I got there. So I took a gap year. One of the hardest years of my life, mentally. It was the first time ever that I just stopped and I constantly felt like I was stuck, watching everyone around me live the life I was suppose to be living. It’s been hard, but now as my gap year is coming to an end I’ve realized that this year was a blessing in disguise. I’ve never slowed down, I never realized how burnt out I was until I no longer was. I would’ve never realized how fast I was going if I hadn’t stopped. This song just makes me believe everything works out in the end.
Its been forever since I heard this song, all I can remember is my dad singing it in our house when we would have karaoke night.
I couldn't stop crying because it felt like my dad was singing it to me right now. Everything in my life has been going so fast for me, I just feel so overwhelmed. I miss you, dad.
He’s with you ❤️

Spent 4 hours everyday this summer training my ass off in hopes to reach my dreams. I’ve done it. I’m going to Vienna. Literally. I promised myself I’d make it somewhere and here I am at an international level. This song just makes me so proud of myself, which is all I really need.

I love how the lyrics themselves describe the timeless struggle between the pull of ambition and the desire to stop and breathe for a minute.
This is a wonderful piece of writing.
I'm 59 and remember this from a lifetime ago. Saw it in a scroll thru my FB. Love billy joel
Long life sir
This song is about Billy Joel finally meeting the other half of his family. His father lives in Vienna where he is a famous concert pianist. ( Imagine that) I also think that he finds out during this trp that his half brother is a surgeon. The song has great meaning. Billy always thought that he had no time or place to fit these people into his life, until he met them.
Finally an anthem for the high functioning anxiety kids
....written in the 70's....
Yeah, those who struggled with that and got mistaken for criminal elements. Been there, done that. Billy may have been there, too, once upon a time.
Describes living with it perfectly
I was the 1,000th like!
Amen 🙏
I named my daughter Vienna Rosalie. This song always makes me cry, and now when I hear it, it is an ode to myself and to her. Ive been waiting for her my whole life and the lyrics are rich with wisdom and lessons I wish I had learned earlier. I have always been the over achiever who sacrifices too much. I faced the Great Recession through my 20s when trying to kick off a career and now im my 30s had her during the covid pandemic, in extreme isolation, working from home and pining for the opportunities and freedoms I traded for work in the past, believing them too expensive and always planning for the future. Anyway, what a beautiful and wise song. I will dance with my daughter to this on her wedding day, if I get to be so fortunate.
Why wait until her wedding day? Don't put off a beautiful moment for a day that may or may not ever come.
I also named my daughter Vienna! And also a pandemic baby! I wish you all the best!
it’s a wonderful name :) my name is Vienna too
What a pretty name
Vienna Rosalie is such a pretty name
Prayers go out to the loved ones of those lost and injured in yesterday’s terror attack in the beautiful city of Vienna...this song popped into my head as soon as I heard the terrible news. I’ve always loved Billy Joel and this album, as well...the world has your back, Austria. Hang tight.
stop ive loved and listened to this song sm in the past 6 months but nvr actually realized wat its abt. it funny bc 6 months ago these lyrics wouldnt hav affected me much, but now as a high schooler trying to navigate wat comes next while also trying to fix a broken past, these words hit harder then i coildve ever imagined.
ive nvr been someone who lived in the present, but maybe i should try it
It’s either a heartwarming song about telling people with big dreams to catch a break or a successful advertisement for vacations in Vienna
😂
Clearly about Vienna vacations - miss that place!
It can mean many things. It can mean also stop being impatient with relationship, expecting it to move fast and slow down. You found someone who gives time, effort, attention and love but you screw it up because you want to chase the grass is greener over and over again, unwilling to let what you have grow. If you don't slow down you'll be 30-40 years, alone with just cat and dog as you become invisible, as your lover you had who did love you has moved on because you cheated, you didn't take care of the love that came and wanted the grass is greener. If you're that smart why you're in a rush, like you're afraid to lose the guy when you already got him but self sabotaging. So it can mean something different for different people not just about big dreams and success in lifestyle.
I remember hearing this song as a kid, prob 7 or 8 watching “13 going on 30” & even knowing back then how deep this song was. I’m now 25 & this song is even more relevant now as an adult. Beautifully written, it gives comfort with a small sense of nostalgia. ❤️
I just finished 13 going on 30, I am here.
Hope you are doing good
Yes I heard this song on 13 going on 30 as well.
the montage that plays when this song is on is always on my mind whenever I feel sad or stuck or burnt out or overwhelmed
This was the first song I listened to when I travelled solo for the first time. I remember I was smoking a cigarette outside the apartment I was staying at with a bunch of people I had only just met. I felt as if this song was a message from my future self who either knew what she wanted to do with her life, or was at peace with not knowing. A vision of that self emerged in the screen of my mind, and all I could see was a courageous, compassionate woman at peace. However knowing, that as she was guiding me, I was the one giving life to her, birthing her at that exact moment. It hasn't been so long since that night, but out of all my past selves, that brave girl on her first night of solo travelling, anticipating how that trip will unravel, is the one I will miss the most.
Life can be a mystery but I'm sure you're heading in the right direction!
I'm solo traveling out of the country for the first time next week, coincidentally to Vienna. I'm really scared, but your comment makes me feel like it'll be okay.
@@maliamaynard5879 I'm so excited for you, and so happy I could make you feel even a bit safer! Keep an open heart, take care of yourself, and remember that feeling scared is the first stepping stone for your courage and bravery to manifest
beautiful story, thank u for sharing
Hi there fellow solo traveller! Enjoying the decisions you've made and not thinking about what others might think is just so satisfying and liberating! I started solo travelling when I couldnt get my friends to travel w/ me cause they have kids. Now that I have a kid of my own, I still dream to travel solo soon even if it's not faraway...and bringing my toddler with me as i'm a solo parent.
Met lots of solo travellers that somehow didnt know what to do next in life & we've all been there, and we can still laugh it off
This song... ah, this song! It talks to me in a really deep way. I come here every once in a while to remind myself of all these lyrics. Thank you for this masterpiece, Billy.
this song really helps me. to idk sit, listen to it, cool off and just cry. Im young, not even 18 yet and my future really scares me. I've been told by family and school that it's such an important thing to know how you want your future to be, and that to attain your dreams you have to work hard. It's stressful enough to make me really depressed because I don't know if i'm working hard enough to be successful and high school is such a short amount of time to figure out a plan. but this song makes me feel hope for myself. im scared, but it'll work out if I take a step back and just cool off. life is short. idk what im saying tbh, anyways this song is like a warm hug I've never gotten in awhile.
Ay man, take some virtual hugs from me.
Hope you fine the strength to do it.
❤
I remember feeling like this. Didn't even know what I was aiming for, ie what job, what field, but looking back, any of the things I considered would have made me happy. Like if you can't choose between three choices, it doesn't matter what you pick because you'll still be happy in some ways and regretful in others, no matter what you choose. There are so many different paths and ways to get so many places, it's gonna be okay.
khat, so sorry to hear how you’ve been feeling. From my much more advanced age I’ve realised that life can be long. You have time ... you can make mistakes and take a wrong turn and just plain change your mind. I encourage you to try and give yourself space to just be .... just getting through this time is hard enough for most of us. So, keep on keeping on, one foot in front of the other, day by day ... take a deep breath and give yourself permission to figure it out as you go. At 18 I had no idea what my future held ... some of it has been good, some less so. But I don’t regret any of it. I’ve learned more than I would ever have thought possible and it’s all made me the person I am today 💙
