Many years ago Billy said, (paraphrasing here) that he was surprised and quite honestly disappointed that no one was covering his songs and that as a rock star it is something you aspire to have happen. He was thrilled when Garth Brooks more than did this song justice. Truth be told for a guy with a billion great songs there are few covers. I would cover and release "A Matter of Trust" ... just sayin'
Who's gonna do a Billy Joel song better than Billy Joel? Garth killed shameless but it's debatable whether garths version is better. Id say it's on par. Honestly Billy Joel is one of the greatest talents in pop music history in my book. It's gonna be hard to top him.
This was my wife and I wedding song. She passed away on the 17th of June at 32 years old. Married for 11 years, together 13. Its been 2 Weeks and a day since I held her lifeless body waiting for coroner and I still cry daily. Brandi w I miss you so much and love you till I die.
@@reidmason2551 thank you. Its so hard to get up everyday. I dont wanna go on. And the place I'm at is about to close down and am about to be on the streets. So sick of life.
If your love and her support and motivation provided you by her presence was as special as it sounds Then 24 plus years of life together cannot ever be gone from your life If every bit of her spirit is with you now not as grief But as passion for life ! Possibilities Instead of feeling at the end of your wits with job risk as example What would she do or how would she make you feel about it ?if she was here ? My guess is you would be motivated in some way to meet the challenge For her Because of her And with her She’s always going to be with you here Because she was with you and not anyone else .. She is here Forever . Best wishes
Kinda sucks that Billy’s version of this song only went to number 40 on the US Adult Contemporary chart. But Garth Brooks did it justice and took the song straight to number one on the Canada Country Tracks and US Hot Country Songs charts. Billy was absolutely honoured that Garth cut this song and made it a huge hit.
Didn't even know it was a cover when Garth released it! definitely better (just powerful) but respect to Joel for writing it giving the chance for Garth to belt it out, cannot stop listening to Garths version it's awesome sends tingles down my spine 😊
I love Billy Joel and I understand that this was his song originally, but it's weird for me to hear it after having of course heard Garth's version many times before now lol. Oddly enough, perhaps, it sounds like Joel's cover of Garth's version haha
Lyrics: Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much Control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myself a world And it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless, shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know I am shameless Shameless Shameless
Wow, I even owned this album back in the 90's, and I never realized Garth's was a cover of this. Until just now. I thought it was the other way around.
Karaoke has fans and haters. I was chatting with a singer at karaoke one night and he was obviously an experienced musician. He admitted a past history of success as a singer and I asked if he ever got ridiculed by others about going to karaoke. His classic response was,”When I sing at karaoke, I never worry about the band fricking up the song!” Have heard some great covers over the years.
I just learned today that this is a Billy Joel song...(seriously)! I was getting SO PISSED OFF at my Alexa because I kept asking her to play "Shameless by Garth Brooks" & she kept saying, "Shameless by Billy Joel"... Oh my gawd! I'm sorry for yelling at you Alexa 😅
Billy Joel Lyrics "Shameless" Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'll do anything you want me to I'll do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see Oh baby that's what's left of me Don't have very far to fall You know now I'm not a man who's ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Every time I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing swore I'd never compromise Oh but you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down I can walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much control over me I work too hard to call my life my own And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly But it's your world now I can't refuse Because I've never had so much to lose Oh I'm shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I've ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now I don't want it anyhow So I got to let it go Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You make a total fool of me I just wanted to you to know
Love Billy and this is a great version but he was right in giving it to Garth Brooks. His version of this song is legendary, but this is pretty good too since the Garth versions aren’t on RUclips😂.
Apparently Garth was signed up to one of those CD club type things where they recommend albums to you and if you don't refuse the recommendation then they charge you for it and send it anyway. He was away on tour so had a load of CDs waiting for him when he got back home and Billy's CD Storm Front was one of those and that's how he came to hear this track from it.
Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you I'd do anything you want me to I'd do anything at all And I'm standing here for all the world to see There ain't that much left of me That has very far to fall You know I'm not a man who has ever been Insecure about the world I've been living in I don't break easy, I have my pride But if you need to be satisfied I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer Anytime I see you standing there I go down upon my knees And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise But you convinced me otherwise I'll do anything you please You see in all my life I've never found What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew But I can't walk away from you I have never let anything have this much Control over me Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own Yes I made myself a world And it worked so perfectly But it's your world now, I can't refuse I never had so much to lose I'm shameless, shameless You know it should be easy for a man who's strong To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong I've never lost anything I ever missed But I've never been in love like this It's out of my hands I'm shameless, I don't have the power now But I don't want it anyhow So I've got to let it go I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be You can make a total fool of me I just wanted you to know
I was shocked to find out yesterday that Billy Joel wrote this song I was listening to the Billy Joel channel and heard him talking about writing it . I like his version of the song better than Garth Brooks and I loved that one
Would it be wrong of me to say that I actually like this version more than the more well known Garth Brooks cover? I mean, Garth Brooks' take is alright, but personally, as someone who's not really a country music fan, it's a little too "twangy" for my tastes. The Billy Joel original knocks it out of the park, though.
I had only heard the Garth Brooks version till now. The Dj on the country station said it was a cover so I had to check it out and I gotta say the original is better
I like Garth Brooks, but it annoys me to no end when people go on about this being Garth's song. Billy did it first and did it best. Garth's was ok for a cover, but his doesn't have as much soul as Billy's
You mean the song that Billy wrote himself and recorded as the original that Garth then covered after hearing Billy's version, is Garth’s song? And I say that as a fan of Garth's too.
@@seanscanlon9067 yes thats exactly what i mean!!! do you mean other singers cant make a song better then the original? i never knew it wasNOT garths lol

Its really hard to match his musicianship.

@@benjaminwohl1985 Praying for you, Benjamin. Hope you're doing well.
I feel sorry for your wife but you know that you keep listening to Billy joel song for here
If your love and her support and motivation provided you by her presence was as special as it sounds
Then 24 plus years of life together cannot ever be gone from your life
If every bit of her spirit
is with you now
not as grief
But as passion for life !
Possibilities
Instead of feeling at the end of your wits with job risk as example
What would she do or how would she make you feel about it ?if she was here ?
My guess is you would be motivated in some way to meet the challenge
For her
Because of her
And with her
She’s always going to be with you here
Because she was with you and not anyone else ..
She is here
Forever .

Billy Joel’s songs are soooooooooooooo dang good I should play one of his songs at my wedding a long time from now
How did it go?
Marriage is wrong.

Just heard it my car, closed the windows and sang with all my Heart ;) Thx, Mr Joel. So many wonderfull words, and melodys, and dreams. 💞
This is true music!
Never heard Billy's version before. Nice
Billy Joel wrote the song. Even Garth Brooks said Billy sang it better than him, I have to agree.
I hsve always loved this song but had no idea Billy Joel wrote it 😮
this song went to #40 on the adult contemporary charts in 1992!!!
Love this song! Thanks Billy Joel!
Always thought Garth Brooks wrote this but just learned today when he was on Howard Stern that he wrote it, Billy Joel is still talented!!
That's how I just found out 🤯
I love Billy Joel and I understand that this was his song originally, but it's weird for me to hear it after having of course heard Garth's version many times before now lol. Oddly enough, perhaps, it sounds like Joel's cover of Garth's version haha
Love from the UK. Best artist in the world

Lyrics:
Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'd do anything you want me to
I'd do anything at all
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
There ain't that much left of me
That has very far to fall
You know I'm not a man who has ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy, I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
Anytime I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changing, I swore I'd never compromise
But you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
I have never let anything have this much
Control over me
Cause I worked too hard to call my life my own
Yes I made myself a world
And it worked so perfectly
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
I never had so much to lose
I'm shameless, shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
But I don't want it anyhow
So I've got to let it go
I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You can make a total fool of me
I just wanted you to know
I am shameless
Shameless
Shameless
Great song
What a song and garth brooks gave it justice one of my favourites
Wow, I even owned this album back in the 90's, and I never realized Garth's was a cover of this. Until just now. I thought it was the other way around.
I love it
Love this modern day poet

Touches the chords of my heart.
Womderful
unfairly forgotten @nd lost gem.
Great tune and Garth Brooks did a great job with the remake
Great song.
Quality music!
Iam going to see you Wednesday in Madison Garden nyc
I saw you in concert in Dallas
He wrote this with Jimi Hendrix in mind. Try to imagine Jimi singing it :)
And then Garth Brooks covered it as a Country song.
@@amazed66 I hate the white ass country song
@@terrorbilly4707 Garth actually did a good job but I still like this one better.
Shout-out to every song on RUclips with comments still enabled.
❤❤❤❤
Love you
Billy Joel is my god
Blasphemous
For real
Your GOD?
Never, EVER make another human being your God.
You will deeply regret it when you stand before the REAL God on Judgment Day!
Don't be silly, Billy Joel actually exists, is real and not a fantasy figure and I have seen Billy Joel several times.
Love since River of Dreams when I was in 7th grade.
Billy was heavily influenced by Hendrix, this song really shows this.
Billy Joel Lyrics
"Shameless"
Well I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything at all
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
Oh baby that's what's left of me
Don't have very far to fall
You know now I'm not a man who's ever been
Insecure about the world I've been living in
I don't break easy I have my pride
But if you need to be satisfied
I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changing swore I'd never compromise
Oh but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down
I can walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
I have never let anything have this much control over me
I work too hard to call my life my own
And I've made myself a world and it's worked so perfectly
But it's your world now I can't refuse
Because I've never had so much to lose
Oh I'm shameless
You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go
Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know
What an amazing song
I like both Billy's and Garth's versions of this, but this one was the original and my favorite.
Agreed!! Just don't listen to Tim Horner's version!!

Yes, could be a track from Axis Bold As Love but more something on Cry Of Love. James Marshall would love it.

Considering Garth covered Billy’s version, I’d say you’re fine
I had only heard the Garth Brooks version till now. The Dj on the country station said it was a cover so I had to check it out and I gotta say the original is better
I have loved this song since I was a kid. I had no clue this is a Billy Joel tune. This version is awesome, but Garth steals it!
Take us father
Jimi Hendrix inspired Billy for writing this great gem.
Sounds like Benton John
I like Garth Brooks, but it annoys me to no end when people go on about this being Garth's song. Billy did it first and did it best.
Garth's was ok for a cover, but his doesn't have as much soul as Billy's
Am I the only one reminded of Bruce Springsteen when I listen to this?
Yes. Springsteen could sell a song but couldn’t sing.
I do not really think of Bruce Springsteen regarding this Billy Joel song but do with A Matter of Trust.
Garth Brooks does a great version too
true... but the one and only, who wrote this song, is Billy.. and it prolly ment something important him, so he put all he's soul into it
For sure!
Equal or better!
I know this song thanks to Garth ❤️
@@Ginie_1980 same here that was the first version I ever heard
Most people don’t know Billy wrote this. They all think Garth Brooks did.
This is Billy’s song and he did it right. I was disappointed when Garth did it (even though I love him too). This is Billy’s song.
First!!!111!1!1!
Chris Gaines has come a long way.
Garth does the best cover of this song!
SGC 1 but Billy wrote it first...
And it’s the only version I’ve heard 😉 (because I’m lazy)
I think it is the only cover of it.
I love that Garth is such a huge Billy Joel fan. He talks about him all the timr
I don't care about that confederate dude
@@terrorbilly4707 What makes you think Garth Brooks is a confederate dude?
Papa
Channeling his inner Jimi Hendrix
always thought this was a Garth Brooks song
Garth owns this one!
Garth later covered it in a more Country style.
Both are great versions, Billy wrote it, and both own it 🔥
shame on you
A lot of people didn't know billy joel wrote this
Hate to say it Garth Brooks version makes me cry
thats cause its soppose to
tightenurscrews because it’s shit
I am shameless per Billy Joel.
This song's about eating cat
yes qUEEN
yEs
Last-Notch 😂
Liked Garth's rendition a bit better
Billy who?
What does that even mean?
probably a onediection fan
Probably some living legend
Who is this guy? 🤪😜🙃😂🤣
Fukoff
Not as good as Tim Horner 🍋🚚⚡
What’s Tim Horner doing on my tv?
Garth brooks version is best hands down
Chris Stapleton live is better on this tune in my opinion. Made Garth tear up !!
They are both great versions but Garth Brooks sings this just slightly better.
oh lord no i cant!! lol this is Garth's song
You mean the song that Billy wrote himself and recorded as the original that Garth then covered after hearing Billy's version, is Garth’s song?
