As a 1.5 generation Cuban, (i.e., born in Cuba, raised in the US), it is quite a tribute that someone at the stature of Billy Joel found it "inspiring" to write about "Cuban eyes" and Cuban women...KUDOS!
I read the story is about his mother Rosalind escaping the War and had to go through Cuba to get to the US. Look deeper. It’s mentioned in comments for other Rosalinda videos.
My Lives was released in 2005 and had a boatload of unreleased songs and demos. For some reason this demo didn’t make it. You should check out So Long, Reverend Ike.
The different lyrics are a mindfuck. It's about his mum in her neediness, also his song Laura. Wow. He just started freestyling without words ... totally Stevie! The other mindfuck is that the brilliant transitions in this song would be anyone else's best track ever, but for Billy it's just another version. Love the arrangement they went with on the album.

billy joel is a MONSTER! love this
I love the original, but I think instrumentally this version would have fit better in the 52nd Street album
best song ever damn i love this song and all of his versions
How did this not make it to "My Lives?"
Seriously!
This was on 52nd street

Came for the Rosalinda demo
Stayed for the doo doo dat dat naa naa dooo
Fascinating to hear the evolution of this song, fascinating man, angels and demons, life, loss, and other engines of creativity
it seems like the actual song became rosalindas eyes while the lyrics went off to become laura and i love that
This version sounds like somethin stevie wonder would've done

Or Pat Metheny
Wow! Billy Joel does Steely Dan! This is great!
You nailed it.
1000% I guess that that’s why I love this song- I’m a huge SteelyFan. Now Kanye or Action Bronson needs to sample the intro and bridge.
Definitely. They are all over Zanzibar as well.
oh man, this is amazing! thank you. Just saw him last night in Sunrise FL. He and his band was exactly what i needed to end the year
Golden find!
3:17-3:20... love that line 😀
DUDE!!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!! I would send you a fruit basket if i could
America’s mccartney
Yes!
Rosalinda's Eyesのデモは初めて聴きました。オリジナルとは曲調や歌詞が結構違いますね。
I like those hits, he should've kept them! The song's great no matter what!!
Amazing!!!
This is so cool!!!
ENORME ENORME ENORME je me lecoute en boucle sans me lasser!!
LIBERTY!
The parts that were left out of the final mix , Billy most likely saved it for ‘Blonde over Blue’ bridge.
