 i love this song, it calms down my 2month? old son, he stops crying and
smiles when I play it

 This is the definition of music. Such an amazing and beautiful song. I
introduced this song to my Japanese wife while we were dating before we
married. She got hooked on this song faster than a snapper gets hooked on
a red prawn.
Now, it's our song and we just love it. The Japanese love Billy Joel, Elton
John, The Beetles, The Travelling Wilbury's and John Farnham.
The music these days is just that techno crap, doof doof and boof boof! It
makes no sense at all. There is no meaning in today's music. By the
way, I'm not an old grampa. I'm a 28 year old but I appreciate this music!
C'mon Billy, please come to
Japan.PPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Joel.

 I Haven't heard this song in "The Longest Time" haha. Billy Joel
is a great singer/songwriter, and few do it better than he does. I
mostly listen to Hip-Hop but I'm givin credit where due.

 Billy Joel is absolutely amazing, not only because he's such a
great singer and musician, but because he is influenced by so
many different kinds of music and writes so many songs in
different styles. i think that's why so many critics don't like
him, because he doesn't just stay in one genre, he tries all sorts of
things and does them brilliantly.
