If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You)

10/28/21 • 28 min

If I Only Had the Words (To Tell You) is the eighth track off Billy’s second studio album “Piano Man”. Modulating to a different key? What? That's nothing, wait until you see one of Billy's heroes completely ripping off this melody 10 years later. Ooooo. Controversy. Fun times on Billy Joel A to Z.

I've Loved These Days

I’ve Loved These Days is the seventh track off Billy’s fourth studio album Turnstiles. It's sandwiched in between Angry Young Man and Miami 2017 so who remembers it. So, mostly we focus on the Glen Campbell classic, Rhinestone Cowboy. They came out at the same time and Billy was going to call the song, "These Rhinestone Days". Close call.

It's Still Rock and Roll To Me

It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me is the fourth track off Billy’s 7th studio album “Glass Houses”. It was released as a single on May 12, 1980 and became the number one hit in the nation on July 19th. This is one of Billy Joel's biggest song ever and yet, it has the words Beau Brummell Baby. I guess that's when you know people love you whatever you do.
