My husband & I were together 6 years before we married. When we were asked why we didn’t get married we both always answered the same “because we don’t want anything to change “. I played this song for him the night before we got married. When the song finished he said “that’s our pre nup” & we sealed it with a kiss. It was definitely our song. We were married 30 years before he passed last year…still the same someone’s as the day we accepted our pre nup. Thank you Billy Joel for saying exactly what was in our hearts.
No matter where and when I hear this Song, I always wished some special man will sing that song to me. Im still waiting....and Im getting older, but patient. That Song is just wonderful. It touches me euch time I hear it.❤🎉
Billy Joel wrote this about his first wife. A pure expression of unconditional love, he gave it to her as a birthday present. But after nine years of marriage, the couple divorced. Joel’s next two unions didn’t work out either. He finally said : “Every time I wrote a song for a person I was in a relationship with, it didn’t last. It was kind of like the curse. Here’s your song - we might as well say goodbye now.” According to the singer-songwriter, some listeners missed the point, thinking that the tune was misogynistic. He explained : “No, no, no. Don’t go changing to try to please me […]. Don’t change for me. You wanna change for yourself, fine. But you don’t have to change for me because I’m happy exactly the way you are. That’s why I loved you in the first place.” Billy Joel stated : “I dreamt the melody, not the words. I remember waking up in the middle of the night and going, ‘This is a great idea for a song,’. A couple of weeks later, I’m in a business meeting, and the dream reoccurs to me right at that moment because my mind had drifted off from hearing numbers and legal jargon. And I said, ‘I have to go!’ I got home and I ended up writing it all in one sitting, pretty much. It took me maybe two or three hours to write the lyrics.” “Just The Way You Are” won Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 1979 ceremony. It was a breakthrough for Billy Joel, whose biggest hit at this point in time was “Piano Man” (1973). His reaction : “I was absolutely surprised it won a Grammy. It wasn’t rock ‘n’ roll, it was like a standard with a little bit of R&B in it. It reminded me of an old Stevie Wonder recording.” Joel was particularly amused by Frank Sinatra’s cover. “When we have a sound check, we always send up my own material and we do ‘Just The Way You Are’ with this cheesy Las Vegas swing and make a whole joke of the thing, and Sinatra did it exactly the same way. I “screamed” when I heard it! You sure this isn’t me singing this, Frankie, or is it a joke or whaaat?” PAUL MCCARTNEY himself delivered high praise for “Just The Way You Are”, stating in his Club Sandwich newsletter that it’s one of the few songs he wished he had written (“Stardust” (1927) was his first selection). NOW THAT’S BLOODY COOL‼️ Unsurprisingly, the lay was used in a myriad of TV shows and movies over the years. 💜🎹💚
alot of people wouldn't be crying but i'm crying tears flowing down my face. i wish my Daughter Pasha was just the way she was and still here with me, so i couold give her a hug and hear her voice again. i love you for all eternity.
@@antoinettered6677 Your Love You have for your Daughter will always be with her, deep in her heart no matter where she goes and for al time. She will always know.you love her. I hope God cures you and you will stay.
I can't wait to dance to this song with my dad at my wedding in October. He is my step dad, who was there for me before I was even born, he took on the role of my dad at only 18 years of age and promised to love me as his own. I can't think of a better song to dance to with him. Not a day has gone by where I felt like I was anything but his daughter. He is such an amazing man ❤
It is a rare thing, staying together through the hard times. It is also common for people to stray when they want to find something new. I love this song because it puts those fears to bed. Maybe one day I will find someone with the same sentiments.
I heard this song once in a sesame Street special for kids teaching them to be themselves and I was pregnant with my boy. I felt this overwhelming sense of wanting to cry because I knew this was going to be our song, it's the one I dedicate to my son and it makes me cry each time🥰
I have always loved this song, now I dedicate it to my wonderful man who lives far away. I never want to change him. He is perfect, just the way he is. I hope to meet him again someday, but he will always be forever in my heart whatever happens..❤❤❤
Same Here With My Moms. I Heard This On The Radio And I Was Automatically Transported Back Through Time And I'm 3 Years Old Again Letting The Magic Of A Once Hated Song Grow On Me And Fully Immerse My Being. Now I Can See Why She Played It A Million Times A Night After Sending Me To Bed. It Was Time To Relax, Spark One And Vibe Out.
I heard this when I was a kid, and it hypnotized me. Then, I forgot it for the most part. Last night, I dreamed that I was singing it, and man my voice was his. I can't describe how it felt having his voice flow through me. It was heaven. So now I'm here feeling like a hypnotized child again. Beautiful song.
Dj brought me here while im listening this song my mind thingking about kathniel from the start growing up until this days gosh made me cry hahahahaha almost 7yrs stronger im a silent fan of them and mayward as well
This song is included in my dad’s playlist and this is really beautiful! Although, I still find it perplexing that out of all the extraordinary people in the world, someone will see something special in you-by just being you. Someone who will celebrate beauty beyond our insecurities and see strength behind vulnerabilities. ✨
When a song talk to your feelings, address to your heart,shape the contour of your emotions, When melody embrace the lyrics ,that what's come out, a genius song. Thanks Mr Billy Joel.
One of the greatest songs ever written, my personal favorite of all time. I shared this once with the only one I ever felt this way with and about, I love you wherever you are.
I don't know you, but I watched a bit of your videos, just to research what kind of person you are, to find out if I can say that about you, and I guess you do deserve getting told that by someone. I unfortunately can't tell you exactly that, since I don't know you well enough, but I can tell you this. Don't go changing to try and please anyone, at least I respect you just the way you are. I really hope you'll find or have found that someone who will say/has said that to you. I am a white man btw.
Mr. Croce got help from Billy Joel to finally say what he couldn't say. So he had to say I love you in a song. ruclips.net/video/JpVDuemlW4Q/видео.html Hope you find your troubadour.
wow, you can just get lost in this soul song and poem to her love. I don't care how you look, I love you with all your flaws.All of them. This is what I fell in love with.
Pure genius. A unique writer and exciting, generous performer. So glad I grew up w this, given the sad, emaciated state of music today. You know it's bad when your kid admits the music of his generation begs for toilet paper.
To love God with all your heart and mind, this is the soul, not the spirit. It's his spirit connecting to our spirits, our spirits, teaching our souls, how to love him. This is true faith.
Está linda canción me estremece aún después de más de 10 años cuando de la mano disfrutaba con un amor incomparable para el momento ahora al escucharla me pierdo en el limbo de mis recuerdos y la nostalgia que como un grito de suplica retumba en mi pecho recordándome que eso quedó inconcluso.....
To my wife of 20 years I love you Gina ♥️ napapunta ako dto dahil sa pagkanta ni daniel padilla sa concert .. this was my dad's favorite song , I always remember him when I listen to this. I miss him.
i find so much comfort in this song because ive been so insecure about myself lately and listening to the lyrics of this song helped me a lot. "what will it take till you believe in me, the way that i believe in you" is one of my favorite lines of the song
This part is what I’m going through me and my wife just get divorce this last November and looking a way to find her in this music and I believe will make sense on Her and getting to her souls the message which means in our relationship I could follow her to Her home place but space for each me and her could mean much better for us I’m just going for the right moment when the storms settled.
This beautiful song was written with maturity and honesty. Unfortunately, men or women build relationships on fantasies and worthless castles in the air. It's the mature person that understands what is real, what is forever in a relationship. Signed Miriam N.
When this song became popular, I was a junior high school student, and when I was lonely and worried about something, Billy`s song flowed softly into my heart.
My future life?hmmmm. I would love one day for someone to fall in love with me.i loved n gave it all.but never have someone love me like I can love that person.this song I feel it every inch of every word.I STILL HAVE FAITH.

There are Men that step up to the plate...you are very fortunate...❤

After all these years, could you tell us was the dancing in your wedding?
That song illustrates the true nature of love - accepting your person- with all their flaws.
Right....
Absolutely 💯 ❤
I love you
Unfortunately it doresnt exist bcoz we as people, are inborn narcississ or have biases😅😅😅
Billy wrote this song for his first wife, on her birthday. - Then Divorced her!
