Vienna
Every time that I hear this song play, something inside me just feels more grounded. This morning I was on the train coming into work when my iPod shuffled around to Billy Joel. Once I arrived at work I had to look up the origin of the song. I found out that there is much more to this song than seems.
While all the lyrics are worth checking out, here are my favorite two stanzas:
"Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?"
"You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you? "
