Billy Joel - Scenes From An Italian Restaurant download song

I remember singing along with this song with what is now my ex-wife...

This is (what I consider to be) a perfect song. Great storytelling, with consistent energy, no matter how many times you listen to it. Another mark of the perfection of this song is there's not one note that is unappreciated, or out of place. I'm still waiting for someone to find and upload his live version of this song, which he performed on VH-1's "Storytellers." An incredible performance, with equally incredible audience energy!

Billy Joel always seemed to have a realistic point of view on life in general. But he told his stories in such a damn classy and masterful way. You were and still are one of the greats, Bill!

This is one of my favorite songs of all-time. It's got an epic 3-act quality to it like some other great songs. But it deals with life in a fairly matter-of-fact way, without a lot of ambiguous or mysterious lyrics. The shifts in tone are handled with remarkable deftness. There are so few love stories or love songs about divorce. Yet growing up in the '80s, divorce was a fixture of American life. Half your friends were either from divorced families or you lived through either their parents or your own getting divorced. Now many of those same kids have lived through divorces of their own. More analysis and reflection on just what this strange, new and unpleasant institution in modern life really means is useful.

If this doesn't entice you to travel to New York - What does

this is a modern masterpiece music

Please stand for the national Anthem of Long Island.

Billy Joel's number one song as voted by Billy Joel

Billy Joel doesn’t simply write songs, he paints stories

Back in my younger past, I went to a concert featuring Billy....I wandered into the back of the Key oh hell the place that is still there.... Seattle back then....I was trying to find where to go to my seat....wandering down on the first level....I was walking down a long hall and this nice guy in a grey sport coat and jeans came out of of door...smiled at me and said...here to see the show? I said yes but said this was my first time in the building....I showed him my ticket...he said..."find a person who works here and they will help you find your seat".... I got up to my seat....and...oh my GOODNESS....the nice fellow helping me was BILLY...!!!! he waved to me from the stage...i HAD 1ST row seats up on stage LEFT...in the balcony I saw him...he saw me...I waved....and blew him a kiss.....what a nice man!!!!!!

This is like the "Godfather" of pop songs, a sweeping epic that sucks you in the moment it starts. God, I love Billy Joel....

My own little way of breaking the song down into, smaller songs, like a medley 1. 0:00-1:43 Italian Restaurant 2. 1:44-2:48 Lost Time 3. 2:49-6:00 The Ballad of Brenda and Eddie 4. 6:01-7:39 Italian Restaurant (Reprise)

THIS SONG IS LIKE JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF TUCKING ME INTO BED

Scenes from an Italian restaurant I went to once: -A teenager stabbed another teenager with a fork because he couldn’t do his math homework properly -A kid in a sweater went on a rant about how much he hates the number 4 -A goth dude pissed in a teacup and made another person drink it as a gang initiation This all happened at the same table over the course of less than 10 minutes

This is Billie Joel's Bohemian Rhapsody. Fantastic arrangement.
