Ain't no rainbows shining on me, shades of gray are the colors I see.
Billy Joel
Image
I always thought of myself as the piano player in the band. That, I suppose, I'm confident about, and I guess my songwriting developed as I went along and I got a certain amount of confidence in that. The songs are like my kids, I'm proud of all of them for one reason or another.
Billy Joel
Image
And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
Billy Joel
Image
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
Billy Joel

What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?

The piano sounds like a carnival and the microphone smells like a beer. And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar and say, man, what are you doing here?
Billy Joel

My daughter sent me on a mission to get as many autographs as possible.
Billy Joel
Image
I consider myself to be an inept pianist, a bad singer, and a merely competent songwriter. What I do, in my opinion, is by no means extraordinary.
Billy Joel
Image
As long as there are memories, yesterday remains. As long as there is hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as there is friendship, today is beautiful.
Billy Joel
Image
I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies, all I want is someone to believe.
Billy Joel
Image
If you tell kids they can't have something, that's what they want.
Billy Joel
Image
The joy of life is made up of obscure and seemingly mundane victories that give us our own small satisfactions.
Billy Joel
Image
Every child had a pretty good shot, to get at least as far as their old man got. But something happened on the way to that place. They threw an American flag in our face.
Billy Joel
Image
Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real

Drank a lot of take home pay.

I'm in a New York state of mind
Billy Joel
Image
I was drawn to boxing because I got beat up as a kid. I was the kid with the piano books in a New York neighbourhood.

Streetlife serenader never sang on stages, needs no orchestration, melody comes easy, need no vast arrangement to do their harmonizing.
