"They're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."
Many reactors miss this line because of the video.
So many great lines here
Thank you. Excellent analysis and reaction.
I’m 67 now, and this song came out when I was 17…50 years ago!!!
It’s as powerful and moving today as it was way back then. It never gets old.
We watched a Piano Man play this in a bar once. But it was a Piano Man Duel, 2 of them. Absolutely epic! And the microphones smelled like beers!
This is the 70’s. I had the great honor to grow up with this music. You have a great interpretation of these lyrics. Billy Joel is an American treasure. A supremely talented poet/songwriter/storyteller/lyricist/composer. Something happened and the song was cut off before the end. That’s unfortunate. Billy Joel has a deep and rich catalogue for you to explore. 🌺✌️
I'm sure you heard it - it is one of the most popular songs of all time. Billy Joel had an incredible run of hits in the 70s and 80s. He is the fourth-best-selling solo artist in the United States, with over 160 million records sold worldwide. He had over 30 top 40 hits - and when this song came out in 1973 you couldn't avoid it if you tried.
Ya but this was the 70s
This is a wonderful sing along tune in a bar. Sung it many times that way.
Billy Joel Has Many Top 10 Hits for you to Enjoy & He Is A Great story teller in His Music like Kenny Rogers ( The Gambler ) Warmest Regards from the Sunshine State of Florida 🇺🇲 & The like button ✅ has been Illuminated 😁
This was the good ol 1970s my youth What great times
Irina I always enjoy your reactions. Billy Joel is an icon in music. His lyrics in this song makes it one of the best in my opinion. Glad you took it on.
You did not finish the video. Or did you interrupt it for copyright purposes? Hope you've seen the entire video.
I had to make some revisions because they kept blocking the video on RUclips end
@@RussianReactionReviewsIrina, i don't know how to do it but some music reactors put an opaque filter over the video that says "video blocked for copyright" and pause a couple times to get by being blocked. I don't know if that still leads to them maybe getting demonetized or not but just a thought, plus they make them a little smaller of an inset. I haven't seen you in a while, you still look so beautiful though. I hope all is good with you, you have almost survived another buffalo winter....summer will be here soon. ❤
@@RussianReactionReviewsGreat! As long as you enjoyed the entire video. After all, it's your first time, I've seen it a hundred times. Thanks and God Bless!
This used to be such a popular scene, what we used to call a Piano Bar. Not only would the "piano man" play and sing, but patrons were welcome to sing as well, be it a pop song or from a musical or whatever. It was common to have a regular crowd and many great friendships came out of this atmosphere. I think Karaoke more or less killed the old Piano Bar dynamic.
I love your videos. Also I enjoy your livestreams too
Not many who react to this song really connect to it in the way you did. I'm impressed. Thanks for the heart felt reaction.
Another fabulous reaction. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Billy Joel is one of the most popular solo singers in USA (the 4th best seller at all) and has sold more than 150 milions records in his career. He's been influenced from many kinds of musics: rock'n'roll, rhythm & blues, jazz, german popular music (his father was a German-jew pianist), jewish music, disco music, irish music (he has born in New York, where there lives a very big Irish community).
IM 60 NOW AND I LOVE THIS ONE// I DONT KNOW WHY KIDS TODAY LIKE THE MUSIC THEY DO TODAY :(
I've heard this song on the classic rock stations as a kid and then at work all the time but this is my first time seeing the music video
Wonderful reaction...thank you! Good journey :) Peace!
There are lots of bars that you can still smoke in. I am in Oklahoma and it is up to the bar. Now if it counts as a restuarant then that is different.
Your right Irina about a bar song. Billy Joel got his start playing as a "piano man" in bars where he grew up to help support his mom and sister. He missed his final school exam and didn't get to graduate from high school and start a career in music. 25 years after high school he was able to submit essays to his former high school and was allowed to graduate.
Hi stranger, this is an incredible story and change of luck,, thank for you for the comment, thanks for coming around
So refreshing to see someone who appreciates good music and not most of the pure crap that's out today pretending to be music, thank you.
I got attacked by several "fans" (of rap) for mentioning that a song clip in a video was a very good song, and they instantly had to defend that the singer (Dido) had only added the clip (which was a sample taken from one of her major hits by Eminem). At least 6 people were ready to (unalive) me for suggesting that their hero had not written the part of the song in the video. Rap and Hip Hop people tend to steal (uh, sample?) famous hooks from very successful songs, and their their rabid halfwit fans then assume they have done some unknown person a favour letting them perform a bit of the song (the only good part). It is HIS song, No one even knew who she was.. Music today has suffered horribly. Music fans today have virtually no clue of the world that happened last week let alone 50 years ago. Fans of one genre can't imagine someone may record something in another genre. If not for all the social media and posting sites available music would be dead. Fortunately there are many completely unknown, talented musicians that can let their music out to find an audience. Sadly, we do have to dig through loads and loads of crap to find any of it.
Your knowledge of the many excellent rock bands out there right now is zero zero
“I don’t know what’s going on with modern music. It’s just horrible.” ❤️ not just music, but movies and television.
Be the voice of younger people sharing better media!!!
This song always gave me Euro vibes. It could be sung in any pub overseas and fit right in.
Smoking was legal in bars until the 1990s or 2000s, depending upon which state in the USA. This song is from 1973.
This song has been around and loved for decades. I remember being in college and this song would be played later in the night at parties when everyone was feeling good and in good moods and everyone would sing along as loud as they could. Ah the fund and crazy memories.
The reason this song is not only is it a fantastic melody. But the song is completely honest about everyone. It could a bar anywhere in the world and the patrons are pretty much the same.
Billy Joel is master lyricist turning his recordings into unforgetable stories. Piano Man is one of his perfect examples which I believe is based on fact. He never ceases to amaze. Check out 'We Didn't Start The Fire' to really understand what I'm saying.
Congratulations Young Lady, You've stumbled into the music of the 80s, the best time for music and those to lived in it, me included.
Piano man is a Nostalgic song that talks about the different dreams that people had and never got realized. Consequently everyone has to live the best they can with whatever they have. Most of the people that lived in the 80s is still stuck with the music until the day We die, it's the best music while living on the best years of our lives.
I hope this can help You understand better the song. Please be advised, You can get "addicted" to the 80s music easily. There was little cursing, degrading songs and always with a message, maybe about love, heartbreak, hope or so many different emotions that the human beings feel at a specific times in their respective lives.
I'm glad that You like the song.
Take care.
I'm glad to see that You've overcame the blocking issue.🤗
You mentioned the 80s three times, but this song was released in the _70s._ *Early* 70s, in fact -- 1973.
I also like a lot of 80s music, but pretty much everything you said about that period also applies to the 70s, for those of us who grew up then, or any other period. I think it's all about what a person grew up with. I also love The Beatles, my favorite band from the 60s -- or _ever._
@@MikeAnn193; Sir, the song may have been out in 1973 but it got more popular in the 80s after MTV began playing music videos between 1981- 1982. The same happened with other songs and groups like Hotel California from The Eagles and other groups. I assume that as I love saying 80s a lot You may enjoy mentioning 60s and 70s but it's OK. I hope that You enjoyed the best years of Your lives because We're getting older in a hurry.🤭🤭.
Take care Sir!.
I am a pianist, and I've played his stuff since I was a little girl, so many years ago, and he is timeless. For this one, he wrote about people that he knew, just regular people. I am glad you appreciated that. Also, this isn't even one of his best compositions, not even close. I hope you react to more Billy Joel music. Some suggestions: "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant; Downeaster Alexa; Vienna; And So It Goes; Ballad of Billy the Kid; The Entertainer; Summer, Highland Falls. All great songs. Don't forget to react to more Billy Joel!!
Thank you so much, I would love to hear you play that's really amazing, I always enjoyed this type of music skill, I grew up as a Ballerina, the two go very well together. I will definitely do some more Billy Joel
@@RussianReactionReviews I didn't even need to hear you grew up as a Ballerina. You have that beautiful poise and restraint always. It is beautiful to watch a Ballerina move through the world!
Haven't seen you for a while, Irina. Glad you are back.
Most people don’t realize he was only 24 at the time he wrote this.
Welcome back 🙏 ❤
Beautiful reaction from a Beautiful young lady. You made a old man smile today 😎 Thank you 😎
Written by Billy Joel. The sing is 50 years old 🎂 . Classic.
Suggested video 📹: Billy Joel sings Uptown Girl 👧.
"He says 'Bill, I believe this is killing me as the smile ran away from his face'."
"...they're sharing a drink called loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone." The epitome of sadness.
"But it's better than drinking alone." - that was the line.
Anyway, nice to see a person that is REALLY a first reactioneer....not like the pretend ones, ya know? (I'm Canadian so I have to end my sentences with a question mark, ya know? Eh?) LOL!
Loved your react girl, top marks. I agree today's music leave a lot to be desired. Piano Man is a true classic, by a fantastic musician. Keep up your good work, look forward to more. Respect from Down Under.
I totally agree!
This music has "Cheers" serie vibes..
I am 50 now, but even back in the mid 1990's we would play this song at the bars and everyone knew the words and would sing it! So even people that were not even born when this song came out knew it. Very fun in the bars back then. Now everyone just stares at their phone and does not talk to anyone at the bar. No fun anymore.
i love it!!
Love Billy Joel, piano man is one of the best songs ever made. The best music is from the 70’s and 80’s.
I was wondering why there were 161 comments; now I know! People should read the comments first so the same one doesn't keep getting made repeatedly. I was actually shocked when I saw that this song came out in 1973. I didn't realize that it was THAT old.
To answer your question, according to Wikipedia this song is classified as soft rock or folk rock. More than 5M copies of it were sold in the U.S. alone. In 2013, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2015, the Library of Congress selected "Piano Man" for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance." So yes, it's a classic.
Great to see you doing a music reaction again! I have missed them.
Thanks love
Then there is always those guys who need to quote the entire wiki page because ya know, nobody else has the internet...
@@user-sm3ii5dk1u This is far from the entire page. Since I'm not a walking encyclopedia, I have to use sources for information. I have read many comments on various RUclips channels that say things that are false, because they didn't take the time to do some research before embarrassing themselves. I could have left the comment without mentioning the source of the information, as if I just knew it. I don't do that. Besides, everything that we know comes from reading or hearing it somewhere. If I leave a comment without saying something to back it up, I get replies asking what my source is. Anyone can say anything they want to, but if there is no source given, it is meaningless.
@@genehornung3295 I make a habit of telling trolls that want you to "provide your source" to "do something anatomically challenging with themselves" as this is more conversational than PhD level investigation, so don't worry if someone challenges your information. You started by being "annoyed" (not going to guess your psych state) that there were so many comments and most of them were "not properly researched & peer reviewed and did not contain the suitable video evidence and sufficient notarized statements from direct witnesses." Then, instead of saying what you thought, you (potentially) had Chat AI sum up the basic description contained in Wiki. Watch the video, be pleased by the lovely host, maybe even enjoy the content. Then, come to the comments if you feel so moved, maybe even read some of the other comments, and if you have anything informational, or better yet, funny, or thought provoking, then add that to the conversation. To complain there are too many comments and the commenters didn't research properly, and then write (copy/paste?) from wiki really doesn't add much, especially since we are all mostly on devices that can instantly access millions of bits of information collected from over 50 years. I happen to have owned this on Album and 45, and have listened to it since the week it was released, and seen him perform it in many TV and video sources, plus have seen many interviews he has done to talk about this recording, and also other related issues. I have not quoted any sources, nor posted any supporting links because of (f*ck that nonsense) but I hope my decades of direct personal experience with Billy Joel music and performance, and years of watching YT videos, and 1000s of comments posted and millions read will suffice. I could email a resume and several testimonials from YT channels I have frequented, but again (f*ck that nonsense). If there is anything else that you would need to know, or if you have any questions, please feel free to send back more comments. And, my friend, as always, have a wonderful day.
@@user-sm3ii5dk1u Okay John Rob. Btw everyone, John Rob wrote,"No we're not..." in response to michaelprimeau's comment to console Irina's tears about S of Freedom,"...we're all in this together...please don't cry." JR has expressed the lowest form of humanity. He's the last person that should criticize anyone on anything.
Billy joel il più completo musicista e songwriter ... Da giovane live era un portento ...vedere per es .. Live Scenes from an Italian Restaurant ... Angry young Man ecc ecc ecc
The lyrics are a limerick sang over a 3/4 waltz 🎹 🕺💃
Great Song...also recommend Leningrad but have the tissues ready for that one.
You are an amazing reactor, but I must say that you just said something that took me a back...."You don't know what is going on with modern music".....so, I'm old...haha.....and almost EVERY older generation criticized the current music. I am lucky though, there are some independent artists who are breaking away from that mold. Tom MacDonald, Adam Calhoun, Dax....and some more. You seem very wise!! You have a bright future! :)
5:00 "What's going on with modern music? I have no idea. It's just horrible."

Billy Joel was the first western popular musician to tour the former USSR in the late 80’s, so maybe your parents had his music.
I don’t know why you abandoned movie and music reviews (I would have advised against it…😊), it was successful for you. Nice to see you edging back in.
Thank you, I am trying to play around and see what's a good fit and enjoy the content im reviewing and reacting too
👍
Great song!
This was his break-out hit that started his journey to stardom. The story is about the people he met working The Executive Club in LA.
My name's not Davy, but I stayed in the Navy for life. I don't regret it because it's the best thing I ever did.
The other video takes a little of my imagination. Example: A sailor in uniform doesn't need to point it out.
"Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone."
Billy Joel is, in my opinion, the greatest songwriter in recent times. You noticed the lyrics told a story of the people who would come to the bar where he played. All Joel's songs have meaningful lyrics, but the outstanding thing about Joel is that he's a virtuoso piano player. All his songs are different. I hope you didn't listen to too many on your own because it would be nice to have more reactions to his songs here. Recommended: "Prelude / Angry Young Man" "Ballad of Billy the Kid" "Travelin' Prayer" "Root Beer Rag" "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant"
Billy Joel one of my FAVORITES, Most of his songs swing daddeo!.... Others of his "IT"S STILL ROCK N' ROLL TO ME"
..."WE DID'NT START THE FIRE". (history of World events good and bad)
When you were swaying your head in the first few seconds of this tune, thats what its about. Lol. Its just life.
You’re at your best when you react.
thank you
👍
anything Billy Joel is great
this song came out in 1973
Yep I was 12 now 63 lol
73
This is a deep song.
For Russians, is English easier to understand in song? I ask because, as an American, it is sometimes difficult to make out what British people say, but in song their accent disappears. Weird! 🤔
I still have some trouble, its fast for me sometimes but I been learning to slow it down n my head i
This is good, but my favorite Billy Joel songs are Leningrad and Downeaster Alexa. You should give those a watch/listen too
Awesome Reaction!! Your English is pretty good!! Another Awesome Billy Joel song is; RIVER OF DREAMS!! You will really REALLY Like It!! Great job RR&R!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I'd love to see you react to another Billy Joel song... Leningrad... particularly since you're Russian. It's based on a Russian man Billy met when he was touring Russia.
Up until about 20 years ago there were still "smoking" and "non-smoking" sections in restaurants, but bars were generally just allowing people to smoke. Thankfully, that changed and smoking inside buildings became illegal. It was disgusting anyway, so they did everyone a favor...on top of the kids of my age getting to be adults and being the first generation to largely tell cigarette companies to go screw.
As for what the cigarettes were made of...oh god NO, they were not more natural back then! They hadn't been just tobacco in decades, if not close to a century by the late-70's and early-80's when this came out. They have had all types of chemicals and crap in them for so long. So glad most people have gotten away from them here. I wish it was like that in other parts of the world.
Fabulous song.
There are some good musicians out there, even now. I would recommend Angelina Jordan, Emily Linge, Daneliya Tuleshova.
That's definitely cool
Billy Joel is a musical genius!
I remember as a kid when you could smoke on a plane and they served peanuts, I’m allergic to peanuts not a fun time when I was a kid almost died in that enclosed cabin and back then no one gave a crap I was going into convulsions and could not breathe 🤷♂️
Awesome
Believe it or not, NYC bars are accurately portrayed here, or at least how they used to be.
Why do my comments disappear? This Music isso very good. YOU PLAYED PIANO?
It is Jazzy, and Bluesy
He made the song for his album Piano Man released in 1973 but this video was made in 1983 I think ...but you should chek ot his song CAPTAIN JACK
When you stopped the song, you accidentally skipped to the end. There was more.
The song is kind of a bluesy-waltz.
Also, tobacco smoking is banned now in many places, but there are some places that it is still legal. In 2004, I moved from California to Colorado and was surprised to find that the local restaurants still had smoking sections, but now, 20 years later, unless they disclose that smoking is allowed, I would assume that any restaurant is non-smoking unless I saw a sign stating that it is smoking approved in certain rooms only.
its not me it was RUclips I had to revise a few times
МИЛАЯ СЕКСУАЛЬНАЯ ИРИНА!!!!!!! 😘😘😘😘 ХОРОШАЯ МУЗЫКА, ДЕТКА, ВКЛЮЧАЙ ГРУЗЬ
If you like jazz type singers you should react to the jazz singer himself Neil Diamond. You have definitely heard his songs before but you probably didn’t know it was him
Some other very good artists you might enjoy. First, there are the Carpenters (brother & sister). You'll be amazed by Karen Carpenter's voice. Rainy days & Mondays, Close to You, and Superstar are some of their hits
John Denver,a country singer, has many beautiful songs. Country Road, Rocky Mountain High, Thank God, I'm a Country Boy, and Leaving on a Jet Plane.
Jim Croce, folk rock, some great songs are Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, Time in a Bottle, Don't Mess around with Jim, and Operator.
My favorite is Harry Chapin, who writes lyrical stories. Taxi, Sequel, Cats in the cradle, and Mr Tanner are such beautifully written songs.
The genre is definitely rock & roll, but it's an older style along with stuff like The Beatles, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, etc.
The thing about modern music is that recording technology has advanced so much that anyone can record a full album on a cheap laptop in their bedroom if they want. I'm sure there are dozens or hundreds of people making music just like this, but it gets buried by so much independent music coming out & it just goes undiscovered for the most part. I'd bet there are millions of artists on Bandcamp alone.
of course you know the people..its us all!!
🥰Stunning
2005 movie Just go with it Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston
If you haven’t you should listen to to Billy Joel’s “Leningrad “. 👍
Good choice 👍
There is a verse missing in this video, the song was not over.
I had to make some revisions because they kept blocking the video on RUclips end, I have the full version on my Patreon, sorry for the inconveinence
You skipped the last verse, which is the most important! „They sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say ‚Man, what are you doing here?!‘“
had to revise bc of yt regulations
SInger/songwriters from the 70-80's all tell a story, not like today's music.
(I think you cut off the end of the song, one more verse and the big ending. But great selection, keep going!)
❤❤
❤❤😊😊

Just subscribed to your channel. 2 songs you might like.
The Wreck of The Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.
Jazzman by Carole King.......If you have watched The Simpsons, Lisa plays the sax. This song was in one of the shows.
great suggestions
Check out Billy Joel Touring Russia in 1987. 95,000 subs and going to 100!!!
oo I like that, I will have to check that out
The problem with music today is that you don't have actual musicians anymore. It is all digitally produced backing tracks and its very plain. Nobody ever changes it up in a song like this. This song is in 3/4. Like a waltz. Nobody does anything like that these days. Love your reaction. 🙂
Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, Sarah Jarosz, Molly Tuttle, and a host of others laugh at the idea that we don’t have actual musicians anymore. I'm a 48 year old who for most of my life listened primarily to music made before I was born, but in the past 5-10 that's changed; there so much great music being made now.
Irina, I agree with what you said about todays' music. It's why I prefer to listen to indie music, so much better! Today's music is mostly crap.
I like how the waitress poured the drink on the guy while smiling, after he patted her behind.
That is the procedure in the "how to be a server" manual lol
little bit older.. from the 70's
Why didn't you let it play till the end? But I think you played all the lyrics, at least.
I love your sensitivity, honey. I've noticed it in previous videos, too. It just seems you have true emotional reactions to things, such as the sad stories in this song, as well as the sweet and funny elements. I think it's very touching. 😘
YT blocked it a few times and I had to make some revisions
@@RussianReactionReviewsOhhh, I see. 😊
YOu le\eft off an entire verse and chorus
I had to make some revisions because they kept blocking the video on RUclips end, I have the full version on my Patreon, sorry for the inconveinence
Next: Billy Joel „Always a woman“ (And please react to the whole song!)
I would love to , yt is the one is restricts the full video on occasion
You should listen to Rod Stewart song ( forever young ) it's a song for parents who have beautiful children
You have the most mesmerizing eyes… I can’t get over it… ❤
awww thank you so much!
