    I don't think Billy realizes fully... but this song is about so much more to so many people. It's an anthem to Hope. At least for me. Thanks, Billy.

    Just an incredible song - simple, but so full of emotion, pain, and dread.

    Please Billy!! We need your music now more than ever. I’m ecstatic that at my age I’ve heard a new Beatles song and a new Billy Joel song. Music is everything to me and the world needs quality music to inspire and drive us. Without it the silence is deafening. Thank you Billy!
