Lyrics:
I've got the old man's car
I've got a jazz guitar
I've got a tab at Zanzibar
Tonight, that's where I'll be
I'll be
Lyrics:
Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes

I'm constantly amazed at how varied Billy's sound and style has been throughout his career, and how he excelled at everything he did. Truly the epitome of a diverse musician.
Yes , Billy is a bad ass!!
yes he sounds so different here. i didn't know it was his singing this for years,anyway a great song
TOTALLY AGREE !!!!!!
Agreed
Diversity=Billy Joel❣️🤩
Anyone that suffered from depression will get this song, Stay strong, your not alone, People you don't know care about YOU. Hi, Still Care about you in 2024 👍
I'm there. Thx man. This last year's been a real bitch... trying to raise teenager as s single dad...so alone. 😖😖😞
That’s me
I'm with you. Going thru hell right now with family, work and dealing with the death of my dad. This system sucks but songs like this help me.
It's not just depression, bipolar fits this song too. Which is what he's rumored to have. But the feeling is the same. But I'm there with all of my fellow sufferers. I hope you find your balance.
The answer to my friends when they say why can't you be normal like everybody else. I knew this song explained a lot about me before I even knew what bipolar meant.
I just realized how I am literally this song!😂 I love this!
Ive been suffering from depression after my mom passed from cancer hopefully this will lift my spirit 😢
💙
Since I've learned why it was created, it's my favorite song. I hope you are better now after 10 months. On a really bad note, consider yourself fortunate to love your mother, I didn't have that chance. Really hope you're better.
Remember Billy went through depression and suicide. And music and kids pulled him through. You will be okay.
No te preocupes, lo va a hacer porque te va a llevar de un extremo a otro; porque tienes un ángel que te cuida desde arriba, ¡ten mucho ánimo!, la Vida continúa ✨🤙🏻✨
His best song and video. This sucker was filmed in 89 and still holds up. He's an icon!!!!
Damn right
Stephen Deac Yeah this is definitely cutting edge. it looks like something from 1993-94
Fucknoid Silversmith Yo, could hold a candle to today's vids. He's my fav man!
In my opinion, it's Uptown Girl. But this one comes next
One of the best lyricists of all time fucking brilliant
One of billy Joel's best songs
That can be said about like all of his songs. Great talented guy. Saw him live recently. He was great and still rocks at 73!
Yep
Absolutely yes
Yet the only one people know at karaoke clubs is overdone Piano Man.
Every dude wanted to be like Billy Joel in the 80s. He was rock and roll. He was cool. He had the supermodel wife Christie. 😎
So here I am just sitting and minding my own business, and BAM, I all of a sudden need to listen to this song.
same here!
haha same here. Haven't heard it in years. Started going through my head at work non stop
David Anderson Yup.
same here, had it stuck in my head all of the sudden, and i haven't heard it in at least 5 years
David Anderson same.
I have fond memories of my father and I playing air guitar to this when I was little, and dancing around the living room. I can't hear it without thinking of him, and smiling the widest my face is capable. Rest In Peace, Dad.. You taught me to live passionately and to fight for everything I want; in your name, I go to extremes
💟sweet💟
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful memories!
A lovely tribute to your dad.
I feel ya on that. Thanks for sharing.
This song got me through the worst depression of my life. It spoke to me in ways I never thought possible. I will forever be grateful this amazing song was written and released for all of us to enjoy.
How did this song help you?
Man Stormfront was such a masterpiece. A really underrated album of his. This song really needs more views.
Over 2 and a half million views! How many more views does it need??
@@SuperC888 it needs more than cardi b videos
Have had it in my car and fell on love
Stormfront was/is killer.
@@RussellGreerOfficial agreed cardi b is ass
Billy doesn't need a piano bench... He's having too much fun dancing around haha love the high energy of this song!!!
Who else cannot resist yelling "Eager to please, ready to fight, WHY DO I GO TO EXTREMES!?" such an epic and great song full of passion!
Yes!!!
He's the best music artist ever. He has so many legendary songs no mistake about that right?
This song does not get enough airplay!
As someone who deals with anxiety and depression intermittently this song struck a chord with me. Particularly that “I don’t know why” I sometimes feel fine and other times don’t.
"I Go To Extremes"
Call me a joker, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
ERICK GERARDO RIVERA ORELLANA
Thank you for lyrics.
thank you
Thank you 12/13th/2019 Friday morning
Thank u Billy .. Spoken by a guy who drinks too much and ruins a marriage ... but has REASONS
thanks man. These lyrics are so me...2021😖😞
This song speaks volumes to me. Sometimes I feel like I can take on the world, other times I feel like I'm being swallowed by it.
Maybe I'm heading over the Hill! Too high or too low extremes! When I'm gone, Jesus will take me home to HEAVEN!
We are nothing without faith.
@@mercedespernas That doctrine of discovery though.
Some songs you can turn on and no matter HOW BAD your day, week, or month have been, you are energized again and ready to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of those songs. The man is an artist!!
YES, YES, YES!!!!
Saw him recently at MSG. At 75 years old he’s as great as ever!
Saw him in San Diego, he killed it, including An Innocent Man, he was worried lol!
Hope he will be with us another 20.
2 nights ago in San Antonio, he was as amazing as ever! He definitely brought the house down! ❤🎉❤
I'm finally going to see the legend himself September 10th, my all time favorite artist!!
"Call me a joker,
Call me a fool,
Right at this moment I'm totally cool!
Clear as a crystal,
Sharp as a knife,
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life"!
Vietnam Veteran here. He's been singing that song to me and for me for decades.
Congratuleccion my hero ex talsk force
@@vargaschilito2473 we were part of Operation Ivory Coast, Operation King Pin and The Son Tay Raid. We were Red Crown and made sure we knew what was in the air (bad guys) to make sure the Army Rangers got in and out without someone coming in from the air, or anywhere else. Damn Typhoon Patsy screwed that up, winds of 155 MPH caused them to move our guys to a different location a couple of days earlier, Intel missed that data but, the North Vietnamese knew we could find and strike them at any time, and would. That’s when they started treating our guys a little better. That was November 21st 1970.
Thanks for your service
Thank you for your service. I am very grateful!
Thank you for your service 🙏🏽
The greatest Bi-Polar anthem ever written. Pure fucking genius.
Summer highland falls is good too but this one’s a little better I think
Absolutely, describes it perfectly!. Great thing it came out before mental awareness so it is all the more poignant. 1970’s child , child of the 80’s diagnosed with bipolar latter on in life !
Saw him in the Philippines in 90 or 91, when I was with the Marine Barracks, Cubi Point. I do remember him substituting “I don’t know why I go to extremes” with “I don’t know why I joined the Marines!” Loved it
Subic Bay Naval Base
".....why I go for ice cream" is another one he sometimes does too but that's a little less specific or more generic.
I love that there's not one DOWN vote on this comment. Everyone who heard it probably thought it was as funny as the OP.
Devin Shadow downvotes don’t exist anymore on RUclips
Ughh so jealous! I'm a 90s baby and it was unfortunate I wasn't born yet when he had his concert in PH jk hahaha but I still do wish I will get to watch him live God knows soon ❤️🔥
Why isn't this song on his best of Playlist? SO many people can relate to his lyrics and the angst in his voice! An amazing anthem to all who have dealt with depression and anxiety. Billy, this song may be your most important and impacted one ever. ❤️
Look at how much fun all the musicians are having!
A true vocaloid. Musical genius in voice and piano.
Not only my favorite billy joel song but one of my favs of all time. The passion of the song can be felt by any age whether you're 19 or 57 and feeling like maybe your life is spinning out of control. Whenever I hear this song, its a reminder to keep myself in check.
Great Song!
whenever i hear his song it lifts my spirits up i love billy joel he's the greatest
Amazing musician, a legend!!!!!
19... 89. This song is over 20 years old and still kicks the tail out of EVERYTHING the music industry has to offer us today.
33 years old now and super great.
Hell yeah!
If i had a dollar for every minute i spent listening to this album in my car, I'd be a rich man...
M Blair Weng oh man, just imagine that: getting paid to listen to Billy Joel. That's my dream job
now I wanna listen to fat boys rich man lol
Me too. An “extremely” rich man. (Had to say it, but it is true.)
fr tho
Haha!
Is Billy Joel's best song. It hits home to a good number of people. Great song.
One of his best. Deep lyrics
1989 master piece.
2020 master piece.
3456 master piece.
Greatness
In deed it is a masterpiece
This video captures the uncontainable talent of Billy Joel at his absolute best.Fantastic performance and production!!
I'm still listening in 2024
me too
Esta canción me describe
Chapter 3 of book of Revelation, something about Because you are neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth
At some points in the video the sunlight was pouring in like just after mid-day. Then there are night scenes. They spent hours making it. When it came closer to sunset they turned on the lighting in the next building, inside and out. Through it all the video has an energy that matches the song, which is difficult to do. This video is truly timeless.
This is such a good fucking song
L M 63 lol. i think you mean a fucking good song.
God gave him his talent and God invented music. God also says don't be swearing or you'll burn in hell. 🔥 Exodus 20:7. (This commandment forbids taking the Lord's name in vain and all types of swearing. In God We Trust, one nation under God.)
@@floogelhornzzz4770, this is not a church, dummy.
I love Billy Joel's work. This song has always been one of my favorites of his and has always reminded me of the best friend I ever had. She has borderline personality disorder. It makes me think of her every time I listen to it.
A classically trained pianist who fell into rock and roll. Billy Joel
The best song to depict the struggles of Mania. Ty Billy Joel.
Thank God Almighty that Billy's drummer stopped him from committing suicide early on in his career!! True Story!!🙏
Not trying to be a dick here but he did not stop Billy, he found him and took him to hospital.
Such a rad song. Heard it earlier today in Pavilions shopping and hadn’t heard it in years. For some reason thought it was Eddie money but nope it’s my boy B Joel. Playing this on repeat for the foreseeable future. Wish I could like this 1 million more times over!
man, Liberty Devito is a great great drummer. Thats what i hear in this song, the drums!! Such a shame the way Joel ended up treating him so badly...what a punk.
Theyre friends now tho 👍
Was just leaving a successful Saturday morning at work, when this song came on the radio. Instantly I was 16, in Australia, and with the (soon-to-be) man whom I still consider to be the love of my life. Billy Joel, you (indelibly) touched my soul. (PS If a 1995 memory can still shake me up after all that's passed, you must know that the song really moves me.)
What a great song!
I have always liked this song. It just sounds cool. It has a great tempo, is upbeat but not overly energetic, and the lyrics just sound cool.
I get that it has helped people with depression. Good on them. But for people like me, it just is a good peppy song. The nice thing is that it is a song both groups of people can enjoy listening to together.
Most under appreciated artist of our time.
your insane
I love him, but can't say he is underappreciated...he's been a legend since Piano Man.
@@TheSighphiguy - You do realize J Dog was saying that Billy deserves to be even more appreciated than he is, right? How is that being insane?
Under appreciated? The man is a legend
👏👏👏
Storm Front is one of Billy Joel's best albums!
AGREED!
Adam & Jennifer: Agree 💯 percent
Who's still listening to this in 2024?✋️✋️
✋️
Me
It’s me.
When I’m feeling down I listen to this song.
Me!! ❤❤❤❤
I love this song!!
Hands down my favorite Billy Joel song of all time!
Mine as well. I was surprised to see that it went higher on the Adult Contemporary charts (#4) than on the Billboard Hot 100 (#6) or the Mainstream Rock charts (#10). It isn't one of his gentler songs.
@@jamesbowman6925 Truth. Not gentle but absolutely fantastic. Very passionate vocal performance.
As many have commented, this is a great song from Billy Joel. I think it's one that holds up well over the years. Liberty Devito lays down a slamming groove like a bricklayer. This is actually my favorite Billy Joel song.
Personally, this is my favorite BJ song. Liberty Devito NAILS this groove to the floor with a concrete pocket.
That he definitely does!!!! He’s amazing!!!
I also believe this song was is about his life , his battles with depression and as someone who has also been through this madness, u can get through it also, just wait for your ship to come in !
no time to wait for the happy boat.... luckily i live in a Legal weed state.
I went to extremes and liked this video.
I was born in 82 this music reminds me of my childhood and it makes me so emotional I want to cry
Si nesecitas una buena canción q t levante el ánimo y t sientas q estas vivo escuchala a todo volumen es una buena dosis de amor x uno mismo y si q lo es
👍Привет из России🇷🇺
Saludos camarada desde el ombligo del planeta México q estés muy bien tu toda tu familia cuidate
he wrote it to a partner who experienced his highs and lows and he really couldn’t have done it better. the song is his best, but few realize just how good and how much understanding there is in those lyrics as well as the pace and energy of the music expressed the intensity of his emotions.
Although it is true that Billy has Bipolar disorder, people also suffer from an identical disorder: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and they are very much alike. Both go to extremes. This song is yet another excellent Billy tune that resonates the story of his life, and the songbook to so many of ours.
I was looking for a comment about BPD. Thank you. These lyrics definitely describe what it's like having BPD.

he has bipolar disorder so he might be singing your feelings
awesome..he is one of the greatest song writers and performers of all time...
Storm Front is such an epic album!
I’ve never seen a bad performance of this song live. But then again I’ve never seen a bad Billy Joel performance.
I remember sitting outside in the sun on the beat down picnic bench in our backyard, looking up at the clouds and feeling the grass on my feet when I would step down to run after my brother. Hot july, summer birthday parties, the sound of the birds chirping in the morning and the sound of the frogs chirping in the nearby swap in the evening. I remember this song playing on our family speaker in the backyard. 2013. Thank god for my fathers extremely good taste in music.
update: told my dad i found this song again and love it, like listen to it every day love it. and he told me it was his karaoke song when he was young, and was waiting for the day i would come around. ❤
update 2: just ordered my own ‘billy joel’ shades. 11 bucks on amazon, and they look identical to the ones in this video. 😎
update 3: just got tickets to billy’s concert on january! this is my first time seeing him and my first concert ever, i literally cried when i saw the tickets. i’m so excited 😆
Yeeeeeeaaah!!!❤💫🧝♀️
What an amazing song.
Great is all I can say. Thank you Billie Joel.
LYRICS (YEAR: 1989)
Call me a joke, call me a fool
Right at this moment I'm totally cool
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life
Sometimes it feels like I'm going too fast
I don't know how long this feeling will last
Maybe it's only tonight
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know how much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much do you think you can take
Until the heart in you is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
Out of the darkness, into the light
Leaving the scene of the crime
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time
Sometimes I lie awake, night after night
Coming apart at the seams
Eager to please, ready to fight
Why do I go to extremes?
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
No I don't know why I go to extremes
Too high or too low there ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why, I don't know why
Out of the dark, into the light
Either I'm wrong, perfectly right
I don't know why
the man is a genius. I bought his 1st album in the 70's and he has never let me down..I lived about 20 miles from his hometown from 1991-2007. I became a part of my life forever then.
COLD SPRING HARBOR?!! It's not hard to find and any true fan owns it. You can be a fan without owning it but get it! Not because it's the BEST but because that's where it started.
Her name is Crystal Taliefero and she is one of the best percussionists I have ever heard. She started to play with Billy's band on the Storm Front album and is still a member.
always was in love wif her lol 💓🥰😍🤭
Okay ,...who is the spiky haired guitarist in the leather top ?
@@alphabeta492 The late Mindy Jostyn.
She was a multi-instrumentalist and on the same album that this song was on, there is a song called The Downeaster Alexa and she joined Billy's Storm Front tour to playing violin live on that song.
ビリーの中でも一番の名曲！
疾走感と力強さとカッコよさ全てを備えた最強ソングですね！
高校生の頃ビルボードのチャートにランクインしていました。
私も大好きな曲
If you think of depression just know that I love you and you are gonna get through this wether you like it or not your gonna get through this and my brother is suffering from depression and my mom is doing so much so just know that we love you ❤😢
From this rocker (love the guitar work) to a relationship provoking, "And So It Goes", not many artists can do that.
You know that point in Life, when you're on top of your game, and you keep going up?
Billy Joel does.
That's one reason I listen to him.
😎
Billy Joel at the zenith of his musical powers!
so much power in this song! brilliant melody!
I adore Billy Joel & his music! My late mom LOVED him as well, & his music makes me feel like my mom's still here! BILLY JOEL ROCKS 2024!
Jesus goes to extremes everyday. Drawing everyone to Himself. God never rests and He’s always chasing our hearts. Our Savior is always working. Trust Him today. Ask Him to save you today. Your Father wants you to come to Him. He loves you and wants you to come to Him as you are. He wants to wrap His arms around you and tell you He loves you.
My first real concert as a kid was Billy Joel on the stormfront tour. Still ranks in my top five
drum beat so good all through the song
This is his Billy Joel's Number 1 Hit
Billy Joels songs have to be some of the most uplifting songs
I love this song!
I just posted the same comment! Great Minds....You know the rest. 😁
"You can be sure when I'm gone, I won't be out there too long"
Yeah, right. Billy Joel has written some of the best songs in the era of the electric guitar. And two of his best are preformed on solo piano. Lullaby and So it Goes. Billy Joel will be out there forever.
One of Joel's best songs!
The most immortal rocket ride of power, emotion, energy and rock'n roll ever. Billy Joel checkmates the universe by musical talent and coolness. The playing of the piano with his feet seals the deal for all time.
I love 2:38, cause he's just been at the mic for the entire song, then he instantly breaks off to do his own epic piano solo!
My life my music
this is really underrated
His best, most heartfelt performance. I t will always define him.
So many good tunes by Billy Joel and his range is unequaled with the possible exception (as a solo artist) by Elton John. This is in my top 10, along with Vienna, And So It Goes, Italian Restaurant, River of Dreams, Allentown, Piano Man, Lullabye, The Longest Time, and The Stranger. An incredible song list from an incredible singer/songwriter. These songs will stand the test of time. A lot of life lessons and passion in these songs if one listens to and studies the lyrics.
Dont forget This is the Time. Brilliant sound.
I woke up this morning with this song playing in my head. 🙂
I loooove the song and the video.
AND Storm Front. WHAT. A. MONSTROUS album!
Storm front is one of his best
God bless you forever dear Billy, and thank u for you music 🙏🇺🇲
Its been so long since I heard this song! This is nostalgic!!!
Absolutely one of Billy Joels best, Allentown is next..
