    #Vienna #BillyJoel #Lyrics
    Lyrics:
    Confidence by Blake Rose
    [Verse 1]
    Slow down, you crazy child
    You're so ambitious for a juvenile
    But then if you're so smart
    Tell me why are you still so afraid, hmm?
    Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
    You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
    You've got so much to do
    And only so many hours in a day, ayy
    [Chorus 1]
    But you know that when the truth is told
    That you can get what you want
    Or you can just get old
    You're gonna
    Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    [Verse 2]
    Slow down, you're doin' fine
    You can't be everything you wanna be
    Before your time
    Although it's so romantic
    On the borderline tonight, tonight
    Too bad but it's the life you lead
    You're so ahead of yourself
    That you forgot what you need
    Though you can see when you're wrong
    You know you can't always see when you're right
    You're right
    [Chorus 2]
    You've got your passion
    You've got your pride
    But don't you know
    That only fools are satisfied?
    Dream on
    But don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    [Instrumental break]
    [Chorus 3]
    Slow down, you crazy child
    And take the phone off the hook
    And disappear for a while
    It's all right, you can afford
    To lose a day or two, ooh
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    [Chorus 1]
    And you know that when the truth is told
    That you can get what you want
    Or you could just get old
    You're gonna
    Kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
    Why don't you realize
    Vienna waits for you?
    [Outro]
    When will you realize
    Vienna waits for you?

    I was watching 13 going on 30 lol and this song just hit different. Everyone is chasing their dreams man . And it’s hard to be patient specially now in this generation of social media where you just see everyone’s highlights in life . It’s that feeling that you’re geting left behind. But just like the song says slow down you crazy child . Wishing everybit of success to anyone that reads this . Stay persistent and remember good things come to those that wait -🙏🏽
    Edited* if you’re reading this I promise ima make my dreams come true I make films and documentaries and I will build an audience. I know I can’t be the only one that enjoys the videos I make and is tired of the same no reply value having videos . Much love ♥️

      I’m turning 19 in 3 months, never been that scared to be an “adult”, or a grown person tbh. I’ve seen a successful young boy at my same age already drawing album covers for worldwide famous rappers and singers, and I’m just sitting in my room, doubting my future. Hope days will be better and sun will shine brighter in my later days.
      At the same time, my grandma starts losing memories, that’s when I realise, time really flies.

    Panicking for a moment because I think my life's fcked. Well it still is, but after listening to this song, maybe it's not time for me yet, All I got to do is to keep trying and be better.

      i think many people have yet to realize that we are not special
      like we may think otherwise but that's bc of all the media we consume, making us believe we're main characters and blah blah. Don't get me wrong, I do think everyone is the main character of their own lives, but also, mostly everyone is ordinary. I'm an ordinary, basic girl. And tbh that's fine. But it doesn't mean my or your life is any less special
      there are 8 billion people in the world, how could each and every single one of us be one of the ''big things''?

      How much fun would your life be if you DID accomplish everything by 21? Think of life like a lazy river with rapids here and there. If the rapids were all in the beginning, how much fun would the rest of the journey be?

I'm so scared of not passing because I've always been a smart kid who needs academic validation and also because I'm a girl and in my country my studies are the only thing that can save me. This song really comforts me and gives me hope.
    Pray for me people❤️. Updating in July :)

      I hope you do well on your exam!! And just like the person above me said, even if you don’t, it will be okay. Life is full of lots of second chances. I almost failed outta my senior year of highschool, did fail out of my first year of community college, and then moved to uni the year after. And now I’m about to fail two uni classes. But even though things feel hopeless at times, there’s always someone there to remind me that I can always get back up and try again. I urge you to remember the same. Good luck out there!!

      Pulling yourself out of that fog takes a lot of strength, and I am so glad you’ve begun that journey upward! Nobody deserves abuse from their significant other, so know that you really do deserve to be in a safe place (physically, emotionally, etc.). Please, PLEASE don’t give up on seeking a better life, no matter how much your SO might gaslight you, apologize, cry crocodile tears, or try to make you think that you aren’t worthy of something better. You are worthy of love, not must an opportunity for an unhealthy “power” dynamic. Know that I’ll be praying for you!❤️

    This song is filled with so much memories with me and my baby sister when were little kids 😊. she died Dec 9 2021 from Covid. She was a nurse and doing very well with life but sad she died at 28old. We got to like the song from the movie 13 going on 30. And the song just hits differently anytime I hear it knowing she is no more. I miss her so much. She was my twin 😢 God bless her always 🙏🏻. Amen

    I remember when this song came out. Funny how life is there one second and gone the next. Yesterday's problems are long gone but always fill up with the problems of today. Not to worry, young or old you'll always have problems. It's part of learning. Words of advice, live life without boundaries, have your heart broken and they fall in love again. Believe in yourself and be happy with it, walk into a forest and hug a tree then silently listen for a response. Find your own wonder of the world. Write down the things you worry the most about and eat the paper, in the end, it will pass. Meet fear head-on and tell it to have a seat and someone else will be with them in a few minutes. Listen to that little voice in your head only 63.226% of the time. Agree with the person you hate the most once and see what happens. Fall in love with you at least once a week. Live out one fantasy a year. Have two just in case the other one doesn't work out. Mostly, don't worry, life has a way of working out for the better.

    I am a 37 year old home maker, who once had a good job and was forced to quit due to pregnancy and many other complications.I am always and always unconsciously or subconsciously feeling stressed with the thoughts of being left behind and for not accomplishing yet. I can’t even put those feelings in words here. The pressure from the world is too much that I forget to enjoy the life. My mind is always occupied with ‘how to become successful’ thoughts . I wish I was living in the Pre- Social Media where people enjoyed every day as it comes, no matter at what stage in life they are. Succeeding in life was not the intention of living back in those days unlike today. I feel like I am already so late in getting my life on track. 🙁
    I really needed to hear this song now.

I feel so out of touch and I just want to skip to the part when I have what I need. With my boyfriend, my friends. My life. I feel like nothing will ever make it right. I just want normalcy. I’m tired of feeling inadequate.

    I first heard this song on 13 going on 30 and loved it. There was something about it that spoke to my soul that I couldn’t quite explain yet. Now, at 37, I understand it so much now. I’m diagnosed with bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety, and I constantly struggle with my fears and worries of the future. My whole life I’ve felt like I’ve been trying to play catch up bc I made some mistakes in my younger years that I’ve been trying to hurry and catch up and make up for since. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted my potential when I was young and now that I’m rounding the corner of 40, I want to hurry up and be successful now while I still have the time.
    So as I was laying here before I go to sleep, I started doing my nightly routine and checklists and to do lists in my head. Then my inner voice said that I needed to slow down, I don’t have to do everything at once. Then, I randomly heard the line “slow down, you crazy child” from this song and decided to look it up and really listen to and take in the lyrics.
    I found myself sobbing throughout the whole song. Every single line spoke to me. I realized how much I was taking away from enjoying the present moment due to being constantly ruminating over my past (which correlates with depression), and how much I try to prepare for and worry about my future (which is basically anxiety.)
    I believe that something healed within my inner child just by truly listening to this song. It felt like something I desperately needed to hear for a long time. I realize now that it’s okay to take your time and that it’s okay to not have your whole future figured out at once. This song made me realize just how much I needed to just slow down, enjoy the present moment and not worry about the future. Because my own “Vienna” waits for me, just like it did for his brother.
    Thank you so much Joel for creating this beautiful song. It will forever hold a place in my mind and heart.

I feel like a failure for not being stronger to hold on a bit more. People around me assures me that I will find something else, that I am smart and talented but I can't see it. Sometimes I am just too cruel to myself. I've hearing this song on repeat to comfort me. I really hope that my Vienna comes along some day

      I have had a similar experience three weeks ago. I will not get into details but just know you're not alone. ✨ Validate your feelings and trust them, it has been proved to me that whether you suppress them or not, sooner or later, you'll end up doing what your soul needs(whether that's rest,goint out, socializing, getting inspired,...)in order to be able to gain strength and move on/ try again.I know theory is far more the action itself but it's certainly not impossible for you to apply.
      Hope I helped even in the slightest way

    Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
    Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
    You better cool it off before you burn it out
    You got so much to do and only
    So many hours in a day (Ay)
    But you know that when the truth is told
    That you can get what you want
    Or you can just get old
    You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
    Slow down you're doing fine
    You can't be everything you want to be before your time
    Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
    Too bad, but it's the life you lead
    You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
    Though you can see when you're wrong
    You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right)
    You got your passion, you got your pride
    But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
    Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
    Slow down you crazy child
    Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
    It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
    When will you realize... Vienna waits for you?
    And you know that when the truth is told
    That you can get what you want or you can just get old
    You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)

    I heard the lyrics for the first time yesterday, and I nearly cried. Just the first verse hit home in a way I have never felt before.
    Honestly, I don’t care if anyone reads my rant. It’s whiny and pathetic. I just need to get this off my chest.
    I spent my entire senior year of high school doing everything I could. Five classes per semester (including 6 college level classes), 4 clubs/organizations, marching band and winter winds (essentially year long band), and yet I still tried to do my own projects during all of this. I sacrificed my social life, my mental and physical health, and any chance of me having a fun senior year. Sure, I got a good scholarship, but I didn’t need to torture myself to get it. I just can’t do it all.

When your kinda of a lost teenager who’s trying to do all these things, you forget, the world is waiting for you. This song will remind me that while simultaneously reminding me of childhood and my father. Also go watch 13 going on 30, if you liked this song but didn’t watch the movie you really should, this combination kinda created an awakening in my mind.
