Billy Joel. Vienna.

I always knew Billy Joel was a pretty talented song writer but he was always was one of those that for some reason passed my by. I think it was because whenever I thought of him, I thought of 'Uptown Girl', which was, at best a mediocre 80's track. Nothing special. Not bad, but pretty average for it's time.

However a friend of mine has started playing 'Vienna' and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. Both the original:



And especially Grace VanderWall's cover of it:

Appropriately, the powerful new track is attached to a visual to put things further into perspective.
