I like how it progressed from full synth and drums to a whole line of musical instruments. Kinda supports the idea of how much "Pressure" is being applied and how it evolves and gets worse
The Boys is one of those shows that always knows how to select the best music for it's scenes... this is a big compliment but it reminds me of The Sopranos in that sense.
@@hemtaii Are you sure you watched The Sopranos. In the pilot episode when Tony and Chrissy are driving through a business park to catch a guy who owed them money, there is music playing over the scene. Or Don't Stop Believing when Tony gets wacked. Or the hundreds of other songs used to accompany scenes.
@@hemtaii You need to watch the show again. There's a lot of songs used throughout each episode, not just at the end. You can see them listed on Wikipedia.
You’re absolutely right, and they also don’t oversaturate the show with scenes like that. They keep the songs brief but also give u a great amount of it to listen to in the scene. It doesn’t start feeling like a music video or something.
Right on! When I was a little kid I heard it and thought this was The Beatles or a John Lennon solo track. Later heard a dj say it was Billy Joel and was blown away.
Although I'm Japanese and this song was released 40years ago, I really heard by TV (started "Best hit USA" that time also) and FM radio 📻. This time I just found this Billy Joel channel in RUclips, I'm so happy 😊
Joel is the king of variety, his songs are so different from one another. But also sets the bar with each song. This song reminds me alot of Bowie but like PEAK Bowie.
I can ESPECIALLY relate to the song "Surprises"-which was-presumably-about a guilt ridden young gentleman who had committed a serious, consequential verbal indiscretion-as I did in Des Moines, Iowa on the evening of December 24'th, 1987-at the tender young age of 22 years/9 months/8 days-then-and now-I feel that Billy Joel was talking directly to ME!
Is this a reference to something? Because if not, this comment is SEVERELY underrated. Absolutely hilarious, and I will probably remember this for a long time
The cool thing about this music in The Boys it's that it describes exactly how Hughie was feeling, "you have no scars on your face, and you cannot handle pressure", even tho Hughie lost his girl, he is not someone with many scars such as Butcher.
I've listened to Billy Joel ever since I was a little girl - my parents always had the music on and I am so grateful for it! His songs have quite literally been the soundtrack to my life. Lovely to see loads of people here because they watched The Boys - a fantastic tv show and it has Billy Joel songs in it! Win-win!
You have to learn to pace yourself Pressure You're just like everybody else Pressure You've only had to run so far So good But you will come to a place Where the only thing you feel Are loaded guns in your face And you'll have to deal with Pressure You used to call me paranoid Pressure But even you cannot avoid Pressure You turned the tap dance into your crusade Now here you are with your faith And your Peter Pan advice You have no scars on your face And you cannot handle Pressure All grown up and no place to go Psych 1, Psych 2 What do you know?

There I was an innocent 10 year old sitting in front of the TV and a commercial for this album came on that included a snippet of the video for this song and my young ears perked up and my attention was instantly grabbed by the powerful music and voice . I absolutely loved it and was left wanting to hear more of it ....thus I was hooked on The Piano Man. My love and admiration for Billy as a brilliant musician and amazing singer has only increased with his ever growing list of hits and radio staple classics in the 40 years since that fateful day. Pressure still remains a particular soft spot and favorite for me because it was the song that led me to him.
pas le titre le plus connu de Billy mais c est un veritable chef d oeuvre! j avais acheter le 45tours a l epoque! plein de souvenirs me reviennent thank you mister BILLY JOEL
It's a freaking great tune, Billy Joel is the REAL DEAL!! I saw him more than anyone else(3) times!!! The last time was with Elton John, It was fantastic!!!
Nylon Curtain!! An album so good it hurts. This song is among the best America has ever given us.. It brings so much pleasure to the whole world, while he sings about pressure.....Funny guy! Thank you Billy.
Some people know, very well, how to APPLY pressure to others but, in turn, cannot handle any pressure on themselves. Pressure OF ANY KIND! "Nowhere to look but inside, where we all respond to pressure."
This isn't my favorite song of all time, but I sincerely believe this is one of the most effective songs of all time. You feel pressured from listening to it.
At about this time so many musicians resorting to the versatility of the synthesizer. BJs entry in the game is highly satisfying. Very surprising to hear him do something like this.
I heard this on XM radio a while back (it was either Billy’s channel or Garth Brooks’) and been listening to it for months, so much so that I got the nylon curtain on vinyl just for it and Allentown. Then my friend got me into the Boys and it plays in season 2. Such an underrated Joel song 👌🏻

That's some first class smackdown right there.
Thank you, Hughie, for having me listen to Billy Joel again
For some weird reason I didn't appreciate this song back in the early '80s. But thanks to _The Boys_ now I do.
When the song is called pressure and the intro already sounds like an anxiety attack, you know it's gonna be good

The Boys is one of those shows that always knows how to select the best music for it's scenes... this is a big compliment but it reminds me of The Sopranos in that sense.
Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul have incredible soundtracks that always fit perfectly with the scenes their accompanied.
The Sopranos had no soundtrack. Aside from the songs that played at the end of each episode, there was no music overlay in The Sopranos.

You get musicians like Rick Astley or Tom Petty that have songs that sound quite similar to each other, but Billy Joel has a lot of variety.
bowie’s peak was very long, like his entire career from the 70s to the start of the 90s imo

All the salutes to Huey. Honestly had never explored much of Joel before much less realized how amazing he really is!
I love the beginning. Awesome.

Obrigado The Boys, por me apresentar mais músicas que ñ fazia ideia q existiam. Orgasmo musical é um dos prazeres da vida...

Billy Joel is one of the few musicians that could merge musical genres in the same song and make it sound good. a real musician.

You have to learn to pace yourself
Pressure
You're just like everybody else
Pressure
You've only had to run so far
So good
But you will come to a place
Where the only thing you feel
Are loaded guns in your face
And you'll have to deal with
Pressure
You used to call me paranoid
Pressure
But even you cannot avoid
Pressure
You turned the tap dance into your crusade
Now here you are with your faith
And your Peter Pan advice
You have no scars on your face
And you cannot handle
Pressure
All grown up and no place to go
Psych 1, Psych 2

Pressure
Pressure
Don't ask for help
You're all alone
Pressure
You'll have to answer
To your own
Pressure

But here you are in the ninth
Two men out and three men on
Nowhere to look but inside
Where we all respond to
Pressure
Pressure
All your life is Time Magazine

That PRESSURE! at 3:56...you just gotta shout it out too.

If you're listening that masterpiece, Hughie Campbell are proud of you.
Thanks for the audio only version. It sounds much better.
One of my first albums!!! It makes me so happy to see another generation turned on to this music.
Knew about the song about the boys, but like, fits so well into season 2. Billy Joel is great and hearing him in the boys so well.
Classic tune.
This end of this song. It sounds so… *diabolical*

"Nowhere to look but inside, where we all respond to pressure."
I love the drum fills on this song.
I knew a metal drummer that like Joel's drummer, Liberty DeVito
I really like his more rocking songs like this one.
IMO, Billy Joel is one of the greatest male singers of all time. That's across all genres.
