      I'm so surprised this great song hasn't be picked up by sports producers over the years because it often is , sadness or euphoria in sports.

    One of the best! He has explained this song as part of his inner struggles as a young man and it's expressed in the piano playing, His left hand is "sadness"and his right hand is "euphoria". Brilliant!

      Wow, I never knew that. Makes so much sense: the unity of form and content! Joel is just such a naturally intelligent person, despite lack of formal college degree. actually probably better that " standard " education did not socialize his uniqueness out of his creative life.

    This piece digs deeper into Billy's bipolar see saw between happiness and despair than any other of his tunes I know of. I think it's one of this true musical genius's finest and mos memorable songs, although it is but one of many great songs Billy wrote and the band arranged. Great job, Billy and the guys!
