My favourite lyrics on Turnstiles

inspired by @thebreakfastgenie

Say Goodbye to Hollywood

So many faces in and out of my life Some will last, some will just be now and then Life is a series of hello's and goodbye's I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again

Summer, Highland Falls

And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria

All You Wanna Do Is Dance

Well you wish you were back in the good old days When tomatoes were cheaper

New York State of Mind

But I'm taking a Greyhound On the Hudson River line

James

James, do you like your life? Can you find release?

Prelude/Angry Young Man

And he's never been able to learn from mistakes So he can't understand why his heart always breaks

I've Loved These Days

We light our lamps for atmosphere And hang our hopes on chandeliers

Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out On Broadway)

They burned the churches up in Harlem Like in that Spanish Civil War

ranking billy joel album covers (what i think are his main albums, maybe it's not what everyone thinks are his main albums? i dunno) from my least favorite to my favorite

piano man: yeah this is the only one where i actively go grr when i look at it. like i dunno man the void and how his face looks, i just can't get behind it. no thank you

the nylon curtain: when i was younger i always liked this one cus i thought it looked like a book cover, or rather i liked that it looked like a book cover. but yeah, eh

an innocent man: i dunno this one is just boring to me lol, like yep he sure is sitting on those steps

river of dreams: no it's a cool drawing and all, i'm not really sure what it is about it that it's just like something's off about it for me

cold spring harbor: while i definitely think it gives off the vibes of the album, i dunno it's just not super visually interesting to me. and honestly he looks so different here and that always throws me off too lol

the bridge: nothing wrong with it, i just can't really connect to whatever's going on here and yeah i can see the vibes but not very clearly. and i don't think the banner at the top looks very nice

52nd street: huge jump up here honestly lol. yeah i really like this one, i like the composition, i like how he's holding a trumpet (right? i know nothing about instruments actually lol), i like his blue outfit and how dirty it looks lol. i think this cover does a good job at making him look a little pathetic but like, in a cool way

streetlife serenade: it's so pretty!! i love this, i don't have any issues with it it just can't compete with the ones above it, for me personally

storm front: man i just love it, the red is great and the gray and black are so great, yeah i can't really explain it

the stranger: so cool man, like the gradients of black and white and gray are so pretty and it's just a really neat composition. it's wonderful, i guess i just feel a little stronger about the two above it. originally though i had storm front above this but yeah this one deserves to be in the top three over that one

glass houses: oh man oh man, i love this one, like i just love how he takes up the whole composition vertically and there's still so much visual interest in the rest of it but it's not too much, at least for me. and obviously how the album is glass houses and it's a glass house and he's holding a rock and you may be right (the first song) starts with a sound like glass breaking!!!! like cmon

turnstiles: not really sure if i can explain it but this is just the best one to me, i think the colors are so great and it's cool with all these people and it's just a great composition. and i like how the text looks, which like usually for these either i don't like it or i'm just neutral on it, so that's a plus. yeah i just love this album cover, i dunno

and if you've read all this you should go contact your representatives about calling for a ceasefire! and find some pro-Palestine posts to share and interact with!

maybe one day i'll forgive billy joel for making his best album a mere eight songs long

Part four of my Billy Joel series: Summer, Highland Falls, one of my top 3 favorite songs of all time <3

[inthesummerof69]

song of the day!

Written and recorded by Billy Joel and released on the 1976 album "Turnstiles"!! Though it was never released as a single, it quickly became a fan favorite and appeared often in Billy Joel's live performances!!

When Billy Joel said:

"These are not the best of times but they're the only times I've ever known"

I really felt that shit

billy joel songs that are just conceptually funny to me

that awkward moment when you go home with a guy and he thinks you want to hook up but you really just wanted to hear him play the saxophone. and this ends up ruining his life (christie lee; an innocent man)

when you're so distracted by your beautiful wife that you can't get anything done and all your friends make fun of you (temptation; the bridge)

stop being so mean to my wife!!!! (that's not her style; storm front)

phone sex (sometimes a fantasy; glass houses)

(i'm making a les mis reference, sorry if this makes no sense to you because you don't have enjoltaire brain rot lmao) ... literally just how grantaire would think of enjolras if he wasn't in love with him (prelude/angry young man; turnstiles)

huh, thought i would've had more lol
