Boopa dapa boopa deepa boopa dapa boopa deepa boopa dapa boopadeta...I love this guy. He has a way of explaining technique any beginner musician can understand.
One of my favorite songs. I love that he's so knowledgeable about music, but still prefers feelings over technical, yet looks at his songs' chord structures: NY State of Mind. Gershwin could not have dome it better
@@VondaBrewer Lol nope. He said, "the fact that it was a waltz, sort of similar to--" He was cut off before he could say what it was similar to, but he very clearly said it was a waltz.
What about the meaning of the song?! Listen to the lyrics; although the melody is beautiful, the expose of her character is brutal 😏 If you need it spelled-out for you, take a listen to 'Big Shot'.
He looked a little annoyed. I would be too if I have to explain myself over and over to all interviews asking the same questions. But hey, is part of the gig.
Interviewer was unprofessional & condescending. East coast wannabe kinda tough guy (maybe like those who bullied Billy as a youth). His arrogance (& bland questions) speaks nothing, but disrespectful insecurities. How gracious of Billy, not to simply walk away, to make him think about his poor attitude for the next time. Just a pompous fellow. Billy took the high road. 👍🏻
I get the sense it was done as a favor or something, for an amateur friend of a friend type of thing. The bottom line is, we got to hear Billy talk about one of his most popular songs in a way I haven't heard yet.
It was playing in the plaza when the twin towers were hit !!!! Absolutely despise that song now. People where smacking the concrete, ambulances rushing by and then this song in a instrumental!
A very well written song Billy.You give it justice.Just one opinion

I play that tune on the guitar. Never knew it was 6/8 time. But I love this song. To me its about a strong woman
I love Billy Joel saying "that makes it 6-8, I think."
Yes, me too! But the interviewer only said " similar" to a waltz not EXACTLY.

Billy Joel is exactly right here. I'm surprised he said "I think" at the end, he articulated the difference very well
An absolute genius
0:55 is the most stupid question I've ever heard in any interview in my life. Took over a minute to ask it
I mean, youre not even wrong hahaha
Man that was the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. He lost me right in the beginning. If I was billy I’d be a little pissed.
