@radiowithdrawal: “Vienna” was released in 1977 on The Stranger album by Billy Joel. Written by Joel, the song was inspired after visiting the city of Vienna which led to him contemplating life as well as the experience and expectations of getting older. The lyrics act as a metaphor for old age, urging people not to rush in life and enjoy every stage that comes with it. The album would go on to peak at number 2 on the Billboard chart. Excerpt: 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? (mmmmm) Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out You got so much to do and only So many hours in a day (Ay) #billyjoel #vienna #vinyl #hifi #vintageaudio #70s #70smusic #1970s #1977
