Vienna - Billy Joel - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Not to be confused with Ultravox's 1981 new wave landmark, "Vienna" by Billy Joel sees the star turn to piano and accordion for his 1977 meditation on life. "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, hmm? / Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? / You'd better cool it off before you burn it out / You've got so much to do / And only so many hours in a day, ayy," he begins. "Vienna" was featured on Billy Joel’s fifth studio album, The Stranger, which was released by Columbia Records in September 1977 and marked the start of his long-time production relationship with Phil Ramone, who went on to produce his four subsequent albums. The Stranger spawned two hit ballads in "Just the Way You Are" and "She’s Always a Woman­”, picking up two gongs at the 1978 Grammy Awards; Record of the Year as well as Song of the Year for "Just the Way You Are".
