Lyrics:
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

My husband had been diagnosed with Mantel Cell Lymphoma. I was in a dark place. This song came on the radio and tore me up. He is in remission and cancer free now. This song still touches me deeply. We're going to make it to our 44th anniversary. God willing.
I'm keeping you both in my prayers. 🙏🏾
Hang in there.
One love and may God bless you guys. 🙏 ❤️
I discovered my High School sweet heart after 50 years. I feel 18 again. This song has very special meaning . Thank you
6/12/23 ❤ + ❤ wishing you all the best.
(I've had cancer since 2021 ..... )
@@lauramilagros5472 I too have been dancing with the beast for 16 years. 🙏
This hits like a ton of bricks. Easily one of his most emotionally moving pieces. Anyone who doesn’t like Storm Front that much should at least give this song a chance.
Anyone else agree?
Indeed! 👍🏼
This and Downeaster..and that’s It for this alb
@@tobiasfarragut292That’s fair. I go back to those two the most. Even if I do enjoy Leningrad and I Go To Extremes, I’ll say comfortably that the ones you mentioned are my two favourites.
Yes me too every time I hear it it feels like my heart is breaking. I'm seventy but in all my years I've never given my heart to anyone to break,
Thank you, brave Sir Billy. This song sounds like America to me. The very best of America. -- Love from Barry in Melbourne, Australia ;--)
during my sophomore year of high school, we sang this in my school's chamber choir. i was the only sophomore girl in the group that year, which meant my closest friends there were juniors and seniors. we learned this piece for our final spring concert, and the emotional rollercoaster it put our group through was insane. i remember during our dress rehearsal, seeing our director watching us sing it, completely in tears. "that's what this song is about," she told us. when we performed it at the concert, part way through, almost every single one of us took hold of the hand of the person next to us, and when the piece ended, we all just cried. we cried and hugged, the audience applauded. it was the absolute greatest memory that i ever made in choir, and i cherish it every day. this song brings me so many complicated feelings, but always reminds of the special kind of love you can only form through music.
In a recent interview (Nov2015), on Howard Stern of all places, Billy Joel said this is the song he is most proud of and his best work. I had never heard it before then and I consider myself a fan. He started to play the piano and before he sang a word I wept. In an airport lobby. Like a child. He is our Mozart and I'm grateful to be born late enough to have his music in my lifetime.
Gets me every time
No. He was asked what song he was surprised wasn’t a hit. And he played this one. Not necessarily that it was his best song.
He IS our Mozart. I never even thought about it that way. So many dark times in my life, I played Billy and kept going, maybe only just so I would be in a world where he existed and gave us this gift. And he personally has BEEN there, too. Such a damn treasure. I wonder if he even knows or comprehends that.
@@thefonzkiss He DID say on Stephen Colbert that he considered it his #4 best. I can’t argue.
He does something with chord changes in some of his songs that makes them incredibly heart rendering. He does the same thing in the middle of "Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)." Always makes me cry.
If you’ve ever loved somebody, but knew they wouldn’t stay long.. This is the best song to describe that feeling.
beautifully said
That's where I'm at right now 😔
Tell me about it :(
I think he wrote this song about Elle McPherson
well said, we loved them but knew they would leave. and still love them. and so it goes.
One of, if not THE most underrated of his songs
Amen brother
Summer highland falls is another underrated gem
Through the long night
His own personal #4 best, as per his appearance on Stephen Colbert. I personally cannot argue. 💕🎹🎤
Of all songs
This is our story, This is us.
R.I.P Miguel
Who was Miguel?
@@andoletube He was a character on the TV show "This Is Us." This song was played on the episode when he died. 😢
My choir is singing this song at our final concert of the year and I already know I'm going to cry. I have grown so close to these people and some of them have to graduate and go off into life. Though I know I will still talk to them and keep them close to me, it's just sad knowing we won't spend everyday together anymore. I love all of these people with ever piece of my soul and couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share my passion with. They have helped me through so much this year alone and I will never have something that will measure up to the amount of gratitude I have, and the thank yous I have to say.
How’d it go?
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you, soon, I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
-- --
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
-- --
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
"This is us" always knows the songs that'll hit the hardest
They absolutely do. With the entire season building up to saying goodbye to Becca, the left turn that things took in "This is Miguel" was devastating. Joel's beautiful, haunting song about the inevitability of saying goodbye to a loved one was the perfect choice.
Amazing song. Amazing show!!!
Many TIU shows made me teary. But this song and Miguel dying had me bawling!!! (Also, Miguel got so much hate, and he was so sweet and perfect as Rebecca's 2nd husband!!) Now this is a fave song of mine!!
Oh Lord… that’s your reference? Ok.
@@ChandraLeigh oh Lord... Using a literal slur in your bio? Ok.
The line, "So I will share this room with you, and you can have this heart to break," always rekindles an overwhelming sense of total vulnerability necessary to fully feel my own emotions, as well as to be able to share deeply with another person.
This song continues to help me navigate through water's rough and calm.
A beautiful work of art evokes deep feelings and surpasses time.
Yes, this.
My partner of almost 20 years passed about 2 years ago.
I'm talking with someone and it's been both a struggle and revelation to talk to them. Candor and honesty and truth and vulnerability and trust and intimacy mean so much and this song encapsulates that feeling.
@paulmuaddib451 thanks for sharing about your loss and journey of grieving and learning. Such a difficult road. Takes courage to keep looking at feelings and not burying them. I wish you continued strength
I have never heard this song before until the TV series "This Is Us" and the "Miquel" episode . This song was playing near the end of the episode. Just beautiful and touching.
That's what brought me here.
Bawled my eyes out.
Yes, me as well.
That what brought me here I cried at end of the Miguel episode Beautiful song
This song has come in and out of my life and had various meanings over the years. When I heard the first notes of it in the episode about Miguel, I immediately knew what was coming. Didn't make it any less poignant and heartbreaking.
"My silence is my self-defense." That's me, up one side and down the other.
James Edgar, the whole song was like he read my mind, it was scary and eerie at the same time, how was he able to reveal my thought and feelings so perfectly. Makes me cry each time I hear it. It's so beautifully written and performed. Even the sound and the chords take you on an emotional journey of your own life.
hello James Edgar
You've gotta take risks buddy for the best reward. I've been heartbroken over and over, but the one I've always regretted was my first love, the one I actually had the strongest feelings for. I never let him know how I felt. Damn, I would now if given the chance. I still think about this dude. ❤️
In giving our heart to the ones that break it, we are all so vulnerable. The price we pay by being human. After a long life I can say: it's still worth it.
thank you, i needed that
Best of his. Tears at my heart every time I hear it. I love someone deeply and may never be with him but he will always have my heart to break. 💔
My favorite Billy Joel song. I cry every time I hear it.
I "found" this song in a TV show about US postal workers in a lost letter office. It may have a different name elsewhere. (I am in the UK.) I love Billy Joel but did not know this one so checked out a music streaming service for it! Absolutely wonderful - someone called him a Mozart for our time and that is not an exaggeration. Pure Genius! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🏴
I love how RUclips added in the “most replayed” feature, and every part of this song has played about equally. Every part of it is so great, you need to listen to it start to finish each time
Talk about timeless, you could have walked into a pub in Dublin 300 years ago and heard something just like it, if you were lucky enough.
I weep every time I hear it. The sweetest song I've ever heard.
agreed
Yeah, I can't get through this one either.
My dog got ill a few years ago, constant diarrhea and smelly farts. Thankfully he made a full recovery after a couple of days. This song got me through the tough times.
5 months later... and still...Nobody is laughing.
I have the lines 'And every time I've held a rose, it seems I only felt the thorns' tattooed on my rib cage. Fell in love with this album when I was 10. This song will always be my favorite.
Heh, I have it sitting on my right shoulder. Wore out a walkman listening to this album as a kid.
I grew up on the shallow bays of South Louisiana. The Downeaster Alexa to this day fills my eyes with tears.
Beautiful lyric but pretty darn depressing to have tattooed.
Absolutely, one of his greatest works. The simplicity of the chords hide the incredible force that moves them forward. A flawless musical score with soul-searching lyrics. This is a love song that will forever stand the test of time. BRAVO Billy Joel!!
They're sus, as in suspended, chords. They have beautiful built-in tension.
And so it goes has always been my favourite Billy Joel song out of so many amazing songs. The man is a living genius. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁
This is the song that Billy Joel himself has said that he is the proudest of in terms of songs that he has written.
Once in a while, without first knowing it, we get a glimpse of the kingdom, we know it when we see it or hear it. We know, because we feel it, our soul feels our lament that we can not be there yet.
The most gorgeous song, both melody and lyrics. I loved it the first time I heard it and still do, hundreds of multiple playing times later.
I want this song played at my funeral
The first time I heard this song I was on mushrooms at Wheatley
provincial park in Ontario, Canada on the beach alone at 3am. It was a
calm clear night with a full moon as I walked along the shore of
Lake Erie. I was heartbroken, down on my luck, suffering from a long bout of depression and felt like my life was going nowhere but as I walked along the beach tripping I started to feel confident that I could turn my life around. Then this song came on my iPod. I had thrown on the music quickly without paying much attention to what I was putting on before I left so it caught me by surprise. The moment it came on shuffle a feeling of clarity overcame me in a way nothing had ever hit me before. I sat on a nearby log and stared at the water and felt sad but satisfied with that sadness. There's really no reason to tell this or share it online but it was a very special moment to me in my life and I've held it close to my heart ever since. The song always takes me back to that beach.
Johnny Kool aye , my friend . I myself am a very "romantic" and "depressive guy" , most times . I often hide my sorrow so that I make my friends happy somehow somewhat. ....
+The Zone of Johnny--- Personally, the LAST thing I want to do when I'm sad or even a bit down and depressed would be to do Mushrooms or acid....but that's just me. I actually enjoyed reading you "night on the beach" and I actually re-read it a few times so I could stop "along the way" myself and visualize those moments in my mind. Glad to hear you are in a better place now...Thanks for sharing man...Cheers
druggy
Alcohol is a drug, as is tobacco. There are substances that can change the way we see and feel about the world, sometimes in helpful ways. There is a place for them if you are prudent, and not all users are dependent losers. Look up Aldous Huxleys "Doors of Perception."
I actually think remember I heard this song by guy at the Marriot by the L.I. Colesseum in Uniondale.It was done well and a very sad song.
Perhaps, sublime is even an understatement for this masterpiece.
I love This is Us, but I didn't hear this on that show. I heard it on Signed, Sealed And Delivered several times. I fell head over 👠 in 💕 with this song. It makes my ❤️ beat faster & brings tears 😭 to my 👀.💕💕💕
Schindler's list movie of the songs. Cuts so deep and hard.
And so it goes - Slaughterhouse 5 brings me here tonight
Someone once sent me this song and it still moves the earth for me. Never knew about this treasure before then.
Every time I hear this song, I cannot help but think of loved ones who have passed on. This song is so brilliant and poignant from this spectacular album!
I HEAR THIS... I DREAM... MUSIC IS MAGIC... MUSIC HAS NO LIMITS. A VENEZUELAN BOY WAS HERE. BILLY THANK YOU.
I hurt someone by shutting everyone out for a year or so. I needed to work on myself, because how the hell could I be there for someone if I can’t take care of myself? I hurt her bad. I became free of depression this year and decided to talk to the girl, and she’s so emotionally distant now. I shouldn’t expect any less, as this is all my fault. I talked to her today and all I wanted to say was that I would choose to be with her if it were my choice to make, but that she can make her own decisions - because whenever, if ever, she’s ready, she can have my heart to break. As necessary as the time I took was, I’m broken that it hurt her.
this hits so much deeper once you know how it feels to lose someone you love. knowing you will never see them again and you'd rather them be on bad terms with you or hurt you but at least they'd still be alive.
This song is not about death.
@@michellemckillop5712 It can be about anything each of us want it to be, there's no right or wrong when it comes to intrepreting music.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
Thank you 🙏 so much for the lyrics ✌️ Levent
So heartful and moving. I still cry when I hear it. Thank you!
This is how losing a good friend feels
Jonathon Miller yeah
Grateful for This is Us to have brought me here.
This song captures beautifully the feeling of losing someone you love deeply and wholely...
The first time I heard this song I was in college and if I'm not mistaken near my grandmother's passing.
My alarm was set for the radio and somehow I had incorporated this song on my dream. I remember being on the steps of someone's home weeping and feeling the loss and this became the soundtrack for that dream. It has ALWAYS had a special place in my heart and soul. Truly one of his Greatest Creations ❣️❣️
I have a lot of music in my background, but for the last few years, I haven't wanted to listen to any music. Then I heard this on an episode of Signed, Sealed, Delivered, a Hallmark? show about a small group of dedicated postal workers who do their best to deliver lost mail, no matter how old, no matter how difficult the search for the recipient. (It's also on an episode of Boston Legal/Spader and Shatner, but it didn't fit as well.)
Well, Mr. Billy Joel, when I heard this song, I had to go in search of it. Except for the last few weeks, I think it's the only music/song I've listened to in several months, once every couple of weeks or so. It's heartbreaking, but kind of in a good way, like everyone can relate in some way or other. Could be the most beautiful song I've ever heard, in great part because you sang your most vulnerable truth. Thank you.
Sharon Massey I heard this on SSD as well and I was blown away. Love this song so much. Makes me sad and gives me goosebumps but it's beautiful
@@Melissa8400 I was having yet another listen, remembered I'd written something, scrolled down to see what it was, and saw your reply just now; was never notified. The song is a different level of special.
I first heard this on Sign Sealed Delivered and in just the first few chords was struck by how beautiful it was.
I am not sure if you will see this, but a new SSD was just released and they played this song again, I love it every time. ❤️
@@AddysMommy28 Thanks for the tip!
I'm here for This is Us
Same
Unbelievable! After loving and playing many of Billy's songs I've just discovered this one now. How is it possible that I've never heard this song before? This is one of his best songs.
Because most of his best song are not his hit singles but deep cuts from his albums.
Songs like She's Got A Way, You're My Home, Souvenir, I've Loved These Days, Everybody Has A Dream, Vienna, Until The Night, Through The Long Night, Surprises, Scandinavian Skies, Where's The Orchestra, Leave A Tender Moment Alone, Temptation, Leningrad, Shameless, Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel) and The Night Is Still Young.
My mom loves this song she used to sing it to me when I was a baby
Brilliance
this song is like a love letter to ephemerality. it’s billy joel’s magnum opus, really. there’s just so _much_ in this little song.
this and dust in the wind
No sir.....it is one of his greatest, yes....but his true magnum opus is by far is "Just the Way you are" from 1977. Was the song of the year, album of the year, all of it. Listen to it sometime. Amazing song.
Ever heard of “Scenes from an Italian Restaurant”, “Mew York State of Mind”, or “Piano Man”? Those are considered his best songs and in my opinion are his magnum opuses
Meant to say “New”. Can’t edit, since I am using my phone
@@theoo.2019 Of course I've heard of those....and they are fine songs as well. But as far as "his greatest song", nothing will ever top his song from 1977 "Just the Way You Are"...it was a Billboard top-3 song, and received the Grammy for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, from what most consider his greatest album, "The Stranger". Was a massive seller. And was almost scrapped at one point during production. Many consider it also one of the greatest songs of the 70s all told....and I would agree.
He has said this is one of this favorite songs he's done. That's saying a lot.
He considers this his finest
This is such a beautifully written piece of the heart and soul . Makes me cry each time I hear it.
Though I first heard this song years ago around 2001, somehow the first time I ever understood the words was upon hearing my Pastor, who was like a beloved brother to me, sing it during a live stream show. He has since died last year and it seems that even though the song was written in a romantic sense, it fits my connection with him. He never once betrayed or hurt me in anyway, but I somehow knew our friendship would end in an unfortunate way. That said, I stuck by him and he by me. In that sense, the message of this song becomes completely uplifting and I am so grateful I was reintroduced to this amazing classic.
A song too beautiful, brilliant and so sad.
So powerful, just from the piano intro.
Listened to this song dozens of times over so so many years and it still makes me tear up!
Such a tender, biting, raw, lyric.......sweet but telling...
Billy Joel started writing this in the early 1980s. It’s about a relationship he was having with Elle MacPherson. Their backgrounds were so different that he even predicted the end of the affair with the words, “And you can have this heart to break.”
The title “And So It Goes” comes from television journalist Linda Ellerbee’s signature line.
As the name “Storm Front” (1989) suggests, the tracks on the album build in intensity like a storm front moving on. Joel included “And So” as the closer, to signify the quiet after the tempest.
The music was inspired by the traditional English folk lay “Barbara Allen” (1892). He learned the quite unique air from the “Fireside Book of Folk Songs” (1947) when he was a kid.
In 2010, the musician said that “And So It Goes” (1989) was his least appreciated song. And in 2017, he listed it among his Top 5 tunes❕
AN UNDERRATED PIECE WORTH A LISTEN OR TEN‼️ 💚🎼💙
One of the best songs ever written
A lot of us have been there......x
How can such a sad song be so so beautiful
The story of your husband’s journey, with you at his side, tore me up, just as this song always does. @tvoy50, I don’t know you, but I will keep you and your husband in my prayers.
One of his finest.
Fantastically melancholic from BJ
"Music video."
Yes.
"Music video."
That's exactly what this is.
Touches my heart immeasurably. Yes, underrated and my favorite.
I heard this first in an early episode of _Signed, Sealed, Delivered_
Same ✋️
Dedicated to the suffering families in Humboldt Saskatchewan Canada who lost 16 young people in a tragic collision on April 6, 2018.
May the crawl until they can stand
I've always heard this song in a grieving way.
First heard this song live as a choral performance at Barker College (Sydney) in the early 2000's. The choirmaster introduced it as a Billy Joel song, and it was sung in a higher key, and performed as a beautiful lullaby. I'm thinking that was lovely, but Billy Joel? I thought I knew his material. Clearly not, but when I found the song on Stormfront, this version is so mournful. Of course when you learn the backstory, Billy meeting and loving Elle Macpherson, knowing that you will inevitably lose her, as an Australian male I share his grief, and can understand the emotions behind the song.
Ti voglio bene Billy, che il Signore ti benedica!
beautiful song
I love this song for many reasons.
One of his best, by far. I love every note
Listening to this song thru the years, and always find a new depth and colors. Truly amazing, honest, and touchy anthem to man's love.
This is us 🥺
This is one of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote. So sad, and so revealing straight from the heart.
beautiful song. it made cry all my past loves and now in my heart there is a room waiting for a new love.
Only 54 geniuses thumbed it down in eight years...proud of you all.
Hands down his best.
My favorite Billy Joel song as it is his. I wish I could find the sheet music. It’s sold out.
This song came on the begining of winter or fall just months before I joined the Army. I was going home like 3 or 4 am on i-75 Central Expressway
Dallas Tx. and no one was on it but me as I drove alone and this song went well for that moment playing on the radio.
I remember thinking these are my final months of freedom before I go and was doubtful of my future as anyone would be, as an odd peace was around me 🛣
A yr later I'm stuck in a deep underground bunker working in S.Korea and there was a playlist of songs that played throughout the bnkr 12 hr shifts mine was 12a12pm. I made the best of the shift, get off sleep, eat, take care business, sleep get back to work or just sleep 11hrs. Amazed to hear this countless times as I worked late and I never ever saw where it was coming from or saw who made the playlist as it was made before I arrived. Such a great twist of a songs meaning and memory for me. 🖖9JUL22
Thanks for all that…Billy’s songs resonate for so many of us in similar and different ways
Always makes me cry.😢 Love💖
This is such a beautiful song by Billy Joel. Heart warming 💓
6/12/23 Binge watching Signed, Sealed, Delivered from the very beginning - 2014. Just finished epi #4 "The Masterpiece". I forgot they use this song in several epis. I'm almost 70 yrs old - heard it all, seen it all, done it all ... & Yet, this is *the most saddest, most painful song I've ever heard in my entire life!* And I've experienced way too much pain & sadness - more than most - in my 70 yrs. Hearing it again ... I've been instantly reduced to a lifeless puddle. 😭😭😭🤧😢😢😢😢😢🤧🙈🙈🙈🤧😿😿😿🤧🤧🤧
*RIP Jerry. i miss you so much* 💔 💔 💔.
So sorry for your loss! 🌹I send you a rose for comfort. 😢🏴
A great song love these lyrics, they are simply superb.....
The atmosphere created by this song is indescribable; a sort of nostalgic felling of joy with sadness that creeps at the corners. Simply beautiful
beautifully said
One of my favorites.
I've heard this song in 2014 on Signed, Sealed, Delivered when Oliver and Shane were entering a dance contest with And So It Goes by Billy Joel. Tears fill my eyes every time I hear it, what a beautiful LOVE SONG!!!💓💓💓💓💓💓
This song takes me back many years to this sweet girl I knew in college. We spent a few weeks together, but the it was over. Her choice. The words of this song describe exactly how I felt back then. I still think of her.
Profound poetry in song.
Fukn song hits my ❤️ doesnt matter time/day/mood…Its just us at our most vulnerable moments of our lives..painful but without pain theres no love…” you can have this ❤️to break” billy is timeless
This song in the episode of boston legal was fantastic…still makes me cry
I love this song. So beautifully recorded and crisp.
I can't stop listening to it!
One of the best songs, under rated
Based on the Scottish folk song, "Barbara Allen." Haunting simple melodies that tell the story.
He said decades ago that classical piano inspired the music for this song. I also think this song is autobiographical for him.
They call this a sad song and you are my favorite artist ❤
the first time i listened to this i finally felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness that i didnt know i was currently feeling. man this song is golden.
My favorite dance
Such a soothing song !!
Astounding
love this song
