My husband introduced me to this song when we were dating. We danced to it at our wedding and still dance to it whenever we hear it. We are 47 years together and still going strong. OMG...My husband is taking me to see BILLY JOEL for my 65th 🎈🎂 which is tomorrow and the concert is Sunday. I am beyond excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sept 2023
My son has Cerebral Palsy and is 17 now. He can't walk talk or eat, but I couldn't love him any more than I do. When this song came on one day when we were together, it summed it up perfectly. "I don't need clever conversation. I just need someone I can talk to". This is my song to my son Fischer. Its our song

My husband was in hospital and he sent this to me which always bring tears to my eyes. He passed away 4 months later. I always think of him when I hear this song 💙🌈
Yo también pasé por el hospital y en rehabilitación cuando escuché está Maravilla , también lloré pero de felicidad! BILLY ESTÁS CANTÁNDOLE A "DIOS" I LOVE THE SONG!!
In 1980, Paul McCartney stated that he wished he had written this song. To me, this is the highest compliment a songwriter/musician could ever receive! Bravo, Billy Joel! 😃
I don't envy you for your profession and I wouldn't even think of myself in that field. So thank you for what you do. It takes a very special person indeed🙏
cindy86 - I can't say I hate today's youth music, cindy... I will admit I don't really listen to the music of today... I find myself very lost in the music of my own youth... but I do know that today's youth music will be as important to today's youth in 30 years as music like this is to me now... one day you'll understand, and I hope you won't be as judgmental then as you seem to be now.

Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before, mmm Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I would not leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far, mmm I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair, mmm You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard, mmm I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you? I said I love you, that's forever And this I promise from the heart, mmm I couldn't love you any better I love you just the way you are, right I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard, mmm I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are
That's some of the Greatest Lyrics Ever. Billy has that Gift of Putting into Music his Heartfelt feelings. One of the greatest composers an Piano Men ever. Thank God for Billy Joel....😎
my girlfriend and I spilt in 1989 and all through the years I knew I truly loved her and lost a good 1. In 2010 I found her on Facebook and we been married for almost 9 years. I love you Dawn.You are truly the love of my life.
@@Q.B.2.L.B. my story, is "in between"....married in 1989; separated/divorced, in 2009....and still missing her, every day, 10 years on......be CAREFUL what you "wish for", my friend.....
charly b16 😂 Have you ever heard Ringo and George’s own words on it? Btw, the supposed replacement was around the band for a very long time and if anyone deserved to be his replacement .... Sometimes you just put Conspiracies “on the shelf” until there is absolute proof one way or another, especially if they don’t matter. Some of us were alive through the entire Beatles era, so there is that.
This song is great because it's a love song but it doesn't have to be directed to a dating relationship. It can be sung to a father, a son, a mother, or a friend and that's why it's great
I'm a black dude that grew up in the gang banging era on Chicago's Westside and can't figure out why I like this song so much. I'm not supposed to like this type of music but goddammit I like it
We grow up bro and don't care what others think about us anymore, life's to precious and short. Btw i grew up in Chicago also in 80s used to bang a little myself lol TSN...
You're supposed to like whatever the hell you want to like, AND you're supposed to like it so much that you don't care what others think. If not, it can be a really lonely and dreadful world.
Lyrics!!!! Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I would not leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I couldn't love you any better I love you just the way you are I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are
My dad and I danced to this song at my wedding. He has always been on my side , through my rowdy youth until present day. He has always loved me just the way I am ❤️
My Daddy used to sing this song to my siblings and I in the car and at home. He passed 4th years ago now. WOW! Cherish the time with your Daddy. I am 47 yrs old, He will ALWAYS be my Daddy.🤗💖🙏
I‘m 16 years old. One thing I love about phones and the internet is that I can find such songs. I‘d probably never ever have heard such bangers. Love you all
Technology has come along way. That's why it was invented. To share. Or listen or text or other. Anyway happy Easter. Good to hear . I'm off this. Had to text that. Peace 🕊️🕊️.
Search for Mike Oldfield - tubular bells, Hergest ridge, ommadawn (arguably his best), amorok ( also arguably his best ) and many others. Great that you want to explore gems from the past. Enjoy. And songs from distant earths And music of the spheres.
Bangers? I'm not gonna be that old grumpy asshole that is always on your ass to remind you its "carefully structured artwork" or some shit but if there was one word I could describe a real good song, whether it be happy, sad, nostalgic, depressing, angry, or anything. Maybe not bangers. This songs lyrics and meaning are pretty happy, but the song itself sounds pretty sad/nostalgic. The drums play a big part. I think the best word to describe this song would be "creation"
Missing my husband of 32 years this Holiday season he sang this song in my ear after we started living together baby I love and miss you so much Rip love of my life 🙏🙏😘😘😘❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
God bless you and your husband ! The moments makes our life! Your love of your life is still be care of you from heaven ! Thanks for share this with us . God bless all this nice moments and nice person ! We need more from this
Some go thru life without having the love of their lives. You are few of the lucky ones. May his love and your memories together wrap you in its warm forever ♥️♥️♥️

Billy Joel write this for his first wife and not long afterwards, they divorced. He refused to play it live for many years. He also realized shortly after that it seemed to be a curse for him: dedicating songs (writing them) for certain loved ones, said they always would split (much like Taylor Swift’s music). So. Good luck on your marriage. I’m sure divorce isn’t in your future. 😂
Not sure where my comment went but basically: Billy Joel refused to play this song live for years because he wrote it for his first wife not long before they divorced…
this is my parents wedding song married in 1978. I know it by heart because they had the lyrics done in watercolor and it hung in their bedroom all my childhood. Took me a long time to understand how special it was. Congrats on your wedding .
Probably Billy Joel's finest moment. Easy to see why he won a Grammy for this & shut out the Bee Gees in their heyday. This is an all time CLASSIC, & classics will ALWAYS stand the test of time.
I love 💗 me some Billy Joel,but The Bee Gees were on fire 🔥 when it came to some serious hits and collaborations- They should have given it to both of them-
My beautiful mother passed away breast cancer two years ago and Billy Joel was her all time favorite singer. She would always play this song for me when I tried and failed at something. She was my biggest cheerleader in my life.
I love this song because it does not necessarily have to be a romantic song. My daughter picked this as the father daughter song at her wedding and it has a special meaning to me. This is truly their relationship. Makes me think of them each time I hear it
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
After reading the Bible, this song actually makes me cry considering it describes God's love for each of us and is probably the reason why he went through everything he did for us in the whole Bible and still puts up with us.
This was the first song playing when I met my husband in 1978, high school seniors, so it was appropriate that it was our first dance song at our wedding in 1980. Just the way you are still touches my heart after all these years.. 💞💘

Hello thanks for your comments and supports, your comments and constant supports have brought me this far. Keep supporting❤️ Please send me a mail via joelbilly760@gmail.com
This was the song that really made him a big star. It was a big radio hit in 1977 and '78. Although he had already recorded 3 albums on Columbia Records, he hadn't achieved commercial success until "The Stranger" album. Don't underestimate the contribution of the great Phil Woods on alto sax to help make this such a great classic.
My dad, passed away 6 years ago, I grow up with this song, He loved so much this song... But, we need to keep pushing, don't give up and live our lives, I'm not the only one who lose a dad, just I'm here to say and give you a huge hug, you aren't been alone, he is along with you ;) love you Dad!
When I was six years old, I would ask my mom to request this song on the radio before going to school. It always made feel better. School was a pain and my parents were divorcing. This song was like a love song to myself.
All my dads songs are coming on one after the other. This one really makes me cry, dad. I remember you singing this to Mum. God, i miss you 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ you loved mum so much. She has been single 16 years now, dad. Never even looked at another man. She's 68, and im looking after her until she comes to you ❤
Your parents share a love, that today's generation could only dream of. I pray you carry their love with you into your own, and pass this along for generations to come. I envy your parents love because I myself, yearn for a love like this, although it seems I will never receive it, there I'd always a chance God will lead me to it. Cherish this, love.😘

Agreed - as a child of the 1970s (born 1964) I think that is why I will always love the music of that era - the songs you often don't even know that you know till you find yourself singing the lyrics in response to a situation.... ( ex "I'll be right back baby" said to kitten leads to "Baby Come Back" by Player etc. Happens all day long to me! )
My grandma died 2 years ago today and when i was a baby she used to sing this song to me so It makes me cry so much when I listen to it but I do it to remember the person who made me feel the most loved anyone ever could.
Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times; I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you?

I married by precious wife almost 37 years ago amd this song epitomizes precisely my feelings about her! Thank you Billy Joel so much for putting it into words!
I want on a date and the guy said sweetly , I like you Just the way you are and we woke up having to hear this. I think the writer of this song was a frickn genius, to use such a common yet endearing line it was bound to touch the heart's of many!
BJ has many different voices, he didn't always sing in this style... I'd be honored if some old-school Billy Joel fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of ALLENTOWN and VIENNA on my channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
This absolute masterpiece was the ‘make or break’ song for Billy, he needed a hit song or was going to be dropped from the label Gladys Knight encouraged him to release this, as Billy did not think it was hit material. Thank God he did!
After my mam had just passed away in hospital I was driving home and switched the radio on and this record was playing.. I pulled in off the roadside and cried my eyes out … It’s so haunting and I love the lyrics .. I’ll remember you for ever mam ❤
Listening to this at 2am, lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about how great would it be to have a relationship with a girl who would love this song as much as i do 💕
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
It took Billy many years to play just the way you are in concert. He wrote this for his his first wife. I am so happy he now plays just the way you are. It is an absolutely gorgeous song that comes from the heart. Thank you Billy..
I dream with someday finding someone who likes these songs like I do. Deeply liking a song is one of those rare signs that show you what real connection is. Truly lucky whoever finds it.

@@neuvocastezero1838 Micheal Tang may be referring to the simplicity of the song almost too sweet & simple for the👂 ears of people in 2020 💜 It takes me back to being a teen 🌼🌾13! I love it🎵🎶
Simply a eternal masterpiece. With some elements very rare today : class, elegance, great sound and arrangement, stunning musicians. And a great singer.
This song makes me smile because it takes me back to when life was good and happy. I always heard it in the car driving around with my parents. I miss you dad. Love you forever.
@@reality_bites7887 i'll tell you one, troy. had a girlfriend punch me in the mouth for using this sentimentality. she thought it was an insult that i 'loved her just the way she was'. should have said she looked like a doily.
One of the critics is himself. I think this is one of most perfectly done songs. Chords, Lyrics, Fender Rhodes, on and on....but in the Wiki page said he didn't like it. Not that uncommon. Some masterpieces people write and don't think that much of them.
This song reminds me of my mom and I. As a single parent, she raised me. I can remember the times back when it was just her and I living in an apartment listening to songs such as this one. Peaceful and relaxing! As the only child I'd play with my toys and be in a world of my own. My mom was my rock. I thank you for all your sacrifice, patience and for believing in me. I miss and love you dearly!! Rest in peace!!!!
You'll carry your brother's memory all your life, just as I've carried my own's memory. Music shared will bring back the good thoughts and squelch the sorrow. I'm sorry for your loss and may your memories eventually bring you the simple joy of getting to know your brother. One thing for certain, he will always be part of you.
When you've been married 20 years......songs like this one have just as much meaning as they did when we took that first step and started dating 21 years ago. We're a bit older, grey-er, and okay we've gained a few pounds together.....but I wouldn't change it for anything:-)
I read somewhere that John Lennon once met Billy Joel somewhere in Manhattan and he commented on this song as being his favorite. I really loved that about John. He had a real ability to Know a timeless great song!
It’s probably true. Because Paul MacCartney is on record in his autobiography. Claiming this is the one song he wished he wrote. He loves it so much. And I think, like a lot of people probably notice, Just The Way You Are, sounds very much like a Beatles song. Or a McCarney’s band, Wing’s song.
@@waboom248 He actually did complement Brian Wilson on the song "The Little Girl I Once Knew". "This is the greatest! Turn it up, turn it right up. It's GOT to be a hit. It's the greatest record I've heard for weeks. It's fantastic. I hope it will be a hit. It's all Brian Wilson. He just uses the voices as instruments. He never tours or anything. He just sits at home thinking up fantastic arrangements out of his head. Doesn't even read music. You keep waiting for the fabulous breaks. Great arrangement. It goes on and on with all different things. I hope it's a hit so I can hear it all the time." - John Lennon
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
this "classic ballad" is not only timeless, it is for every living, breathing, being on the planet. We are evidencing that love is there for everyone, in our present life, those who have gone before and we remember, and those who follow. Anyone/everyone we know is this song.
Wow ! This son brings me there , when I was young. Because I didn’t speak English at that time , I remember I copied it using a phonetic style and enjoyed singing that song that way.😊
As a professional musician who's played just about every genre of music, including old school classic hard rock and even some metal, i have to say that this is one of the best songs ever written in it's genre.. Bottom line is, a well written song is a well written song, and this one is no exception.. Superb tune..
The Stranger, Glass Houses, and 52nd St are filled with the same. Billy Joel had reached a masterful level of songwriting. His storytelling is up there with the best. The Stranger (album) was my first love.
I listen to this almost every day, it doesn't get repetitive or boring. It's a different experience every time I listen to it. Same with Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
Consumable Sandvich I've done the same thing. Pick up my phone first song i play. Second song i play and then is always the song i end on, so it's in my head even when not listening to it.
September 2021, almost 2 years after pandemic... Many things changed, but this song still able to put a smile on my face. This is truly a master piece.
@@bettymurphy6865 and enjoy loving others be they animal or human like this = romantic love is IMO highly overrated and does not always stand the test of time.
@@bettymurphy6865 Sometimes, I just listen to this song and wish that I could think about me like this...., I sometimes think it would help if there were someone who could teach me. Then maybe I could learn how to love me like they do.
My mums funeral song, my father used to sing it to her. Such a beautiful song and they inspire me for the marriage I want and hope for she was beautiful and loved my dad so much...
Explore the rest of his catalogue, especially those that are album songs and not just well-known hits. However, if just starting, the hits are a good springboard. I suggest "Piano Man" and make sure you find the full version (for some reason my CD copy they shortened it and cut out two verses). Also suggest "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" and "She's Always a Woman" as starters.
I dedicate this to my dad on Father's day, this is him through and through... love and miss you daddy, have a great day in heaven, kiss mom for me and tell her I love you guys. When I close my eyes I can see you sitting in your chair when I walk in the door, asking if I want to go for a ride.... Yes daddy we will go wherever you want to.

how do you feel about todays youth music?? you hate it huh?
+cindy86 Actually there are some good current songs but I guess we are going to like songs from the past because of the memories attached to them.
cindy86 - I can't say I hate today's youth music, cindy... I will admit I don't really listen to the music of today... I find myself very lost in the music of my own youth... but I do know that today's youth music will be as important to today's youth in 30 years as music like this is to me now... one day you'll understand, and I hope you won't be as judgmental then as you seem to be now.

Billy Joel’s, Just the Way You Are
speaks from the heart and says everything that needs to be said to win the heart of that special woman
Amen
Sounds good for the
Heart ♥️
Just lost my wife aftwr 46yrs oflove tgis was our wedding sobg
Haha yeah back in the day. Modern women only want a big bank account to play with. Within a decade 50% of all women will be single, so they say
A message to the future generations: Don't let this song die.
I love this song so much, it reminds of my celebrity crush.
I agree 100% this song is older than me and I love it to death
The metalheads got your back buddy. We love the good stuff
That you never ever have to worry about🤍 this song is with me forever
Good music never dies.
“ The Stranger” by Billy Joel is one of the 10 greatest albums of all time. Guy was lyrically brilliant and his songs were so New York
Yes, you are correct! Heard the entire album for the first time ever over the weekend. Not a single bad song on the album! It’s a gem. Greatness
@@rubenruiz8137
Yes I have that vinyl ❤
about 10 years ago, i was trying to download the song Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars, and i accidentally downloaded this masterpiece.
@@youngchoi4989 thank you master oogway
@@youngchoi4989 only happy mistakes
The best mistake
Bruno Mars can't hold a candle
You were suppose to hear this Masterpiece. Here's to Happy Accidents.
Who tear up listening to this song?
This is every mans feelings to that special someone.
It really is the perfect song isn’t it? The lyrics, the tune, the sax. Masterpiece.
Ma plus histoire d'amour finis par une trahison c'est la vie continue je ne retrouve plus la personne qui va se reconnaître elle reste dans mon coeur 🕍😭😭très dur désolée pour le texte 🕍🍻🍻
This is the song that made sax solos a centerpiece of 80s pop & rock hits.
Don't believe me? Check out "Bringing Saxy Back" - a playlist of songs with sax solos: www.youtube.com/watch?&list=PLa9CMN8GnhbVQSSSMcjJJSMO4QLK2Rgfz
You can never go wrong with Billy Joel. I grew up on his music.
Indeed a great song!
high pitched in e flat/ d sharp major is even better
One of the greatest love songs ever recorded.
So true 👍
Yes
Amen Sir

Obv
Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before, mmm
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair, mmm
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you, that's forever
And this I promise from the heart, mmm
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are, right
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
That's some of the Greatest Lyrics Ever. Billy has that Gift of Putting into Music his Heartfelt feelings. One of the greatest composers an Piano Men ever. Thank God for Billy Joel....😎

Amazing ❤️
Paul McCartney said that he wished he had written this song.
Cannot get higher praise than that. I agree the song is perfect.
Which one? 😂
Really?
charly b16 😂 Have you ever heard Ringo and George’s own words on it? Btw, the supposed replacement was around the band for a very long time and if anyone deserved to be his replacement ....
Sometimes you just put Conspiracies “on the shelf” until there is absolute proof one way or another, especially if they don’t matter.
Some of us were alive through the entire Beatles era, so there is that.
This and God Only Knows, even Macca knows pure genius other than himself.
This song is great because it's a love song but it doesn't have to be directed to a dating relationship. It can be sung to a father, a son, a mother, or a friend and that's why it's great
I stumbled upon this song today and i was blown away. You are 100 percent accurate. It fits where you need to put it. Thank you😊👍
My fiancé sent this to me as an idea for a mother son dance lol
totally agree! - see above comment
My mother sang this to me hearing it on the radio when I was about 6! I have rarely heard such a musical work!
We dedicate to life itself, yes we really Do, eternamente
美しい傑作。
イントロからあの頃の気持ちに戻れる。
I'm a black dude that grew up in the gang banging era on Chicago's Westside and can't figure out why I like this song so much. I'm not supposed to like this type of music but goddammit I like it
Joe Gotoguy hahahahahahahahahaha
👍✌️
We grow up bro and don't care what others think about us anymore, life's to precious and short. Btw i grew up in Chicago also in 80s used to bang a little myself lol TSN...
You're supposed to like whatever the hell you want to like, AND you're supposed to like it so much that you don't care what others think. If not, it can be a really lonely and dreadful world.
You have good taste 🖤
Lyrics!!!!
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar

Thanks for your time..
My dad and I danced to this song at my wedding. He has always been on my side , through my rowdy youth until present day. He has always loved me just the way I am ❤️
Beautiful x
Lucky you and me!!
My Daddy used to sing this song to my siblings and I in the car and at home. He passed 4th years ago now. WOW!
Cherish the time with your Daddy. I am 47 yrs old, He will ALWAYS be my Daddy.🤗💖🙏
Jennifer your very lucky. I didn't have a dad that was maybe to old.
Excellent
I‘m 16 years old. One thing I love about phones and the internet is that I can find such songs. I‘d probably never ever have heard such bangers.
Love you all
Love you too
Technology has come along way. That's why it was invented. To share. Or listen or text or other. Anyway happy Easter. Good to hear . I'm off this. Had to text that. Peace 🕊️🕊️.
good for you bro
Search for Mike Oldfield - tubular bells, Hergest ridge, ommadawn (arguably his best), amorok ( also arguably his best ) and many others. Great that you want to explore gems from the past. Enjoy.
And songs from distant earths
And music of the spheres.
Bangers?
I'm not gonna be that old grumpy asshole that is always on your ass to remind you its "carefully structured artwork" or some shit
but if there was one word I could describe a real good song, whether it be happy, sad, nostalgic, depressing, angry, or anything. Maybe not bangers. This songs lyrics and meaning are pretty happy, but the song itself sounds pretty sad/nostalgic. The drums play a big part. I think the best word to describe this song would be "creation"
Missing my husband of 32 years this Holiday season he sang this song in my ear after we started living together baby I love and miss you so much Rip love of my life 🙏🙏😘😘😘❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
God bless you and your husband ! The moments makes our life! Your love of your life is still be care of you from heaven ! Thanks for share this with us . God bless all this nice moments and nice person ! We need more from this
Who's cutting onions in here???

I'm sorry lovey!!! Enjoy those beautiful memories though and try to be happy again!
Some go thru life without having the love of their lives. You are few of the lucky ones. May his love and your memories together wrap you in its warm forever ♥️♥️♥️

well played sir
Masterpiece song Billy Joel! The lyrics,his voice,the heartfelt meaning,beau-tiful.!!
My fiancé and I fell in love to this song. We are getting married in Nov 2024 and this song will be our first dance. I cannot wait to be in his arms
Billy Joel write this for his first wife and not long afterwards, they divorced. He refused to play it live for many years. He also realized shortly after that it seemed to be a curse for him: dedicating songs (writing them) for certain loved ones, said they always would split (much like Taylor Swift’s music).
So. Good luck on your marriage. I’m sure divorce isn’t in your future. 😂
Not sure where my comment went but basically: Billy Joel refused to play this song live for years because he wrote it for his first wife not long before they divorced…
this is my parents wedding song married in 1978. I know it by heart because they had the lyrics done in watercolor and it hung in their bedroom all my childhood. Took me a long time to understand how special it was. Congrats on your wedding .
All the best for your life together❤
So sweet!
Probably Billy Joel's finest moment. Easy to see why he won a Grammy for this & shut out the Bee Gees in their heyday. This is an all time CLASSIC, & classics will ALWAYS stand the test of time.
Hopefully If You Leave Me Now by Chicago did the same the following year?!
FACT!
I love 💗 me some Billy Joel,but The Bee Gees were on fire 🔥 when it came to some serious hits and collaborations- They should have given it to both of them-
had no idea..but yeah definitely Grammy worthy.
I agree 💯 r
My beautiful mother passed away breast cancer two years ago and Billy Joel was her all time favorite singer. She would always play this song for me when I tried and failed at something. She was my biggest cheerleader in my life.
Such a great song!❤ Music will never be this good again, no way!
I love this song because it does not necessarily have to be a romantic song. My daughter picked this as the father daughter song at her wedding and it has a special meaning to me. This is truly their relationship. Makes me think of them each time I hear it
Me2 with my daughter wow
Yes
Aww that is so sweet
That's the magic of music, everyone's perspectives about lyrics is just beautiful!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
I will never get tired listening to this song
Never
Love this
Me either.
Ok, I'm tired
This song has a staying power but it, never get tire of listening, and reflect.
RIP to Phil Woods, legendary jazzman who played the sax solo at the end of this classic.
+Tony G. Pizza Sad, isn't it? The world has lost something special.
+Liam Geisler ..yup..sad...
Thanks Tony. He really put the icing on the the cake the way he blew that sax. I would of loved to hear him play solo.
such a pitty ****
+Sharry Adams --- *would HAVE
After reading the Bible, this song actually makes me cry considering it describes God's love for each of us and is probably the reason why he went through everything he did for us in the whole Bible and still puts up with us.
This was the first song playing when I met my husband in 1978, high school seniors, so it was appropriate that it was our first dance song at our wedding in 1980. Just the way you are still touches my heart after all these years.. 💞💘
This means a lot to me💛💛 thanks for sharing

This was the song that really made him a big star. It was a big radio hit in 1977 and '78. Although he had already recorded 3 albums on Columbia Records, he hadn't achieved commercial success until "The Stranger" album. Don't underestimate the contribution of the great Phil Woods on alto sax to help make this such a great classic.
He did a beautiful job
My dad, passed away 6 years ago, I grow up with this song, He loved so much this song... But, we need to keep pushing, don't give up and live our lives, I'm not the only one who lose a dad, just I'm here to say and give you a huge hug, you aren't been alone, he is along with you ;) love you Dad!
Thank you. I lost my dad last month. RIP daddies ❤
When I was six years old, I would ask my mom to request this song on the radio before going to school. It always made feel better. School was a pain and my parents were divorcing. This song was like a love song to myself.
I hope you found love yourself -----
😊
😢❤
When you see love in a bad expression, but something tells you that love for life exists
we got married dec.8th 1977 this was our song to each other still love this song .love you susie R.I.P "MO"
sorry :(
My thoughts are with you brother....
sorry to hear that, RIP ❤️
It will live on forever :)
My condolences and prayers for you 🙏🏼
All my dads songs are coming on one after the other. This one really makes me cry, dad. I remember you singing this to Mum. God, i miss you 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤ you loved mum so much. She has been single 16 years now, dad. Never even looked at another man. She's 68, and im looking after her until she comes to you ❤
That’s nice 💋
Your parents share a love, that today's generation could only dream of. I pray you carry their love with you into your own, and pass this along for generations to come. I envy your parents love because I myself, yearn for a love like this, although it seems I will never receive it, there I'd always a chance God will lead me to it. Cherish this, love.😘
I'm sorry for the loss of your dad.
When a song touches you when you are nothing but a child, you know that's because it really reaches into your soul.

Agreed - as a child of the 1970s (born 1964) I think that is why I will always love the music of that era - the songs you often don't even know that you know till you find yourself singing the lyrics in response to a situation.... ( ex "I'll be right back baby" said to kitten leads to "Baby Come Back" by Player etc. Happens all day long to me! )
@@yo1347 also one of my all time favorites. 🙂
My grandma died 2 years ago today and when i was a baby she used to sing this song to me so It makes me cry so much when I listen to it but I do it to remember the person who made me feel the most loved anyone ever could.

I miss and love you dearly!!
Rest in peace!!!!
Love this ❤️☮️🙏
awww, made me cry. RIP.
I definitely get that because my mom raised me too.
You yanked the tears out this man
God bless you my friend this touched me. Keep playing and know momma loves you.
I ADORE this song! 49 yo and have loved it since i can remember
this was one of my brothers funeral songs.. completely breaks me everytime i hear it😭 but such a beautiful song.. my brother loved billys music.. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss and pain.
Ma plus belle histoire d'amour finis par une trahison c'est la vie continue je ne retrouve plus la personne qui va me faire revivre 🕍🕍🕍🕍
You'll carry your brother's memory all your life, just as I've carried my own's memory. Music shared will bring back the good thoughts and squelch the sorrow. I'm sorry for your loss and may your memories eventually bring you the simple joy of getting to know your brother. One thing for certain, he will always be part of you.
@@mrmiscast thankyou❤

When you've been married 20 years......songs like this one have just as much meaning as they did when we took that first step and started dating 21 years ago. We're a bit older, grey-er, and okay we've gained a few pounds together.....but I wouldn't change it for anything:-)
StormLaker1975 You've been married for exactly half your life? Jesus, that's commitment!
As of August, yessireee!!! We couldn't wait until we finished college, so we tied the knot, lol.
StormLaker1975 well if the shoe fits
StormLaker1975 What a nice compliment ,,I feel the same way about my husband and we have been married almost 22 years...
Beautiful
It amazes me how a recording can be so great like this. They dont make em like this anymore
mrdrumz48 music this days have no soul
@@alfredoruvi I disagree :(
Yes they do
Have you heard of the album "late registration", or "Igor". They are both great albums that are new.
What will it take till you believe in me, the way I believe in you
God, Phil Woods's saxophone solo sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it!
I read somewhere that John Lennon once met Billy Joel somewhere in Manhattan and he commented on this song as being his favorite. I really loved that about John. He had a real ability to Know a timeless great song!
Unfortunately John never gave any credit to Brian Wilson.
Paul did though.
Paul also said this song is one that he wished he'd written.
It’s probably true. Because Paul MacCartney is on record in his autobiography. Claiming this is the one song he wished he wrote.
He loves it so much.
And I think, like a lot of people probably notice, Just The Way You Are, sounds very much like a Beatles song.
Or a McCarney’s band, Wing’s song.
@@waboom248 He actually did complement Brian Wilson on the song "The Little Girl I Once Knew".
"This is the greatest! Turn it up, turn it right up. It's GOT to be a hit. It's the greatest record I've heard for weeks. It's fantastic. I hope it will be a hit. It's all Brian Wilson. He just uses the voices as instruments. He never tours or anything. He just sits at home thinking up fantastic arrangements out of his head. Doesn't even read music. You keep waiting for the fabulous breaks. Great arrangement. It goes on and on with all different things. I hope it's a hit so I can hear it all the time." - John Lennon
@@officialpaulsinwill I never knew that. It's refreshing to see that quote.
Unconditional Love, just as God intended it to be~♡
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music❤️❤️may god bless you.
One of the most exquisite songs ever. Pure poetry from the depths of the heart and soul and mind.
this "classic ballad" is not only timeless, it is for every living, breathing, being on the planet. We are evidencing that love is there for everyone, in our present life, those who have gone before and we remember, and those who follow. Anyone/everyone we know is this song.
Wow ! This son brings me there , when I was young. Because I didn’t speak English at that time , I remember I copied it using a phonetic style and enjoyed singing that song that way.😊
Beautiful words put its forever ❤
I seen the plate....beautiful song. Im still that same old someone that you knew 💃💃💃💃🕴💃🕴🕴
Nah that’s bullshit
True!!!
The Sax solo that starts at 2:57 is one of the greatest of all time. Beautiful & timeless music.....
Phil Woods!
Same guy as on Steely Dan's "Dr. Wu" and a whole lot of jazz.
Phil Woods on alto sax. A true Maestro...
Completely agree!
I NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS AMAZING SONG
The most beatiful song to dedicate to the person you love
Mais ne pas attendre sa mort pour le faire
I hear this as God's love song to me. Brings overwhelming tears of joy to my eyes. To think He needs me too!!!
Fantastic song! Wonderful creation! God bless you Billy Joel!
As a professional musician who's played just about every genre of music, including old school classic hard rock and even some metal, i have to say that this is one of the best songs ever written in it's genre.. Bottom line is, a well written song is a well written song, and this one is no exception.. Superb tune..
The Stranger, Glass Houses, and 52nd St are filled with the same. Billy Joel had reached a masterful level of songwriting. His storytelling is up there with the best. The Stranger (album) was my first love.
strangersound The funny thing is that those three albums are his most popular ones.
strangersound Great records! Then pffffft! He got up town and wrote about a fire. Never much cared for that stuff.
I listen to this almost every day, it doesn't get repetitive or boring. It's a different experience every time I listen to it. Same with Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
Consumable Sandvich I've done the same thing. Pick up my phone first song i play. Second song i play and then is always the song i end on, so it's in my head even when not listening to it.
September 2021, almost 2 years after pandemic... Many things changed, but this song still able to put a smile on my face. This is truly a master piece.
Sure it is i think

Sometimes you just listen to this song and hope someone can think about you like this...
What about self love? Forget loving someone else and first fall in love with yourself then the rest follows.
@@bettymurphy6865 and enjoy loving others be they animal or human like this = romantic love is IMO highly overrated and does not always stand the test of time.
@@bettymurphy6865 Isn't that narcissist?
I Hope everyone can someone who are they are comfortable to be with just like this song
@@bettymurphy6865 Sometimes, I just listen to this song and wish that I could think about me like this...., I sometimes think it would help if there were someone who could teach me. Then maybe I could learn how to love me like they do.
Dad introduced this song to me
And he passed away five months ago
I miss him so much
BLESS YOU I HEAR YOU AND i SEE YOUR COMMENT I UNDERSTAND YOU YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY PRAYERS
My mums funeral song, my father used to sing it to her. Such a beautiful song and they inspire me for the marriage I want and hope for she was beautiful and loved my dad so much...
Kellie E E God bless them🤗
My mum just played this to me & now I'm completely hooked! Wow, what a song! I love it so much!!!
Do explore Mr Joel's other songs as well. You'd be in for a musical thrill and treat.
Explore the rest of his catalogue, especially those that are album songs and not just well-known hits. However, if just starting, the hits are a good springboard. I suggest "Piano Man" and make sure you find the full version (for some reason my CD copy they shortened it and cut out two verses). Also suggest "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant", "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)" and "She's Always a Woman" as starters.
i know right!! he has so many good songs. you should try "vienna" as well, it has some of the same vibes as this song
I dedicate this to my dad on Father's day, this is him through and through... love and miss you daddy, have a great day in heaven, kiss mom for me and tell her I love you guys. When I close my eyes I can see you sitting in your chair when I walk in the door, asking if I want to go for a ride.... Yes daddy we will go wherever you want to.
May your dad Rest In Peace. I’m glad you have something to remember him by
