    My younger daughter had very troubled teenage years, full of anxiety, depression and self harm. I sent her this song and said it made me think of her and when she listened to it, she just cried.
    She is now a wonderful, confident, clever and beautiful young woman in her mid 20s but every time I hear this song, it brings the tears.
    Great cover, many thanks.

      I'm not a young man. And last year, I was listening to this song a whole bunch for some reason (I wouldn't have thought of it as my favorite Joel song)-- but I thought a kind of bookend would be to alter the lyrics to fit the same narrator, talking to the same person, but toward the end of the second person's life, and making that second person more reflective of what's happened since that song came out. (I also had the anxiety, depression, and self harm). Perhaps extra poetic that he wrote this about his father.
      Here. You can be the only person that will ever see this (if that). The phrasing is a bit off, but works if you find it:
      Hurry up, you lazy child
      You were kinda ambitious for a little while
      And we know you're so smart
      But also know you're really afraid
      You put out the fire, gained worry and doubt
      There's a lot less to you since it burned you out
      So much you won't do and
      Oh too many hours in the day-ay-ay
      And now that the truth is told
      You didn't get what you want
      But you sure got old
      You never really kicked off and now your time is almost due
      I think you realize.. Vienna wasn't for you
      Hurry up; you've still got time
      You could be much more than jokes
      After a bot'le of wine.
      It's just not that romantic to be borderline for life
      "A shame", describes the life you lead
      There's panic and sadness and unmet need
      You always thought you were wrong
      And wouldn't stand up for what's right
      You had no passion, you had no pride
      There was never any hope of being satisfied
      Live on, and those debts will all come due
      Why don't you realize.. Vienna's not for you
      Hurry up, you lazy child
      Your phone hasn't rung in a very long while
      So what? It's not like it bothers you
      I think you realize... Vienna don't want you
      And now that the truth is told
      You didn't get what you want
      And you got so old
      You never really kicked off and now your time is almost through-ooh-ooh
      Now that you realize... Vienna's not for you
      When did you realize.. Vienna ain't for you?

      I'm so sorry to hear that you suffered similar mental health problems to my daughter and I hope this song, in all its forms, brings you some solace.

    My first thought--even before you reached that first electric summerwarm mmm--was that soon as this song reaches its end I'm going to listen to it again. And that says so much about how all the elements working together come rolling off the screen in this super, mightily sensitive reading. The attention to how the chords should be timed; the tricky picked transitions made good; the words expressed in nonfussy natural diction, and most of all, the story told like you both see it--in that unfeigned kind of singing that most artists just strive towards--make for a directline video. Your harmony is the best I've heard it--simply f&@*ing fantistic. Eleven stars...moh

    Love my Billy Joel, this song is a fav. Very cool that you play it on guitar. I play it piano from sheet. It's not a simple song. Good job Toni! You two rock!
