Hello everyone! This week Emma and I decided to do Billy Joel's Vienna for our Music for Steem submission. I picked this song because I have always liked Billy Joel's music (ever since I was in grade school). It has been a part of my life for so long, and I have always particularly enjoyed this song. I thought it would sound nice with Emma singing, and I thought the piano part would be fun to play. Sadly it was a little more simple than I'd expected. I spiced it up a bit towards the end. Whatever the case, Emma's voice sounds beautiful on it!

Here are the lyrics and the video. After the video I will also include a little bit about what the song is about.

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-ay

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight

Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right
You're right

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, ooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Hint for next week's song

Next week we are doing a song that Emma picked. She has already revealed that it is a Disney song. I will give one additional hint that it is a sad song from a movie that came out in the late 90s.
