We kept our passion and our pride somehow even despite that comedy of errors at the end of the previous take. Love this tune by Billy Joel!

#BillyJoel #Cover #Vienna - Hudba
My younger daughter had very troubled teenage years, full of anxiety, depression and self harm. I sent her this song and said it made me think of her and when she listened to it, she just cried.
She is now a wonderful, confident, clever and beautiful young woman in her mid 20s but every time I hear this song, it brings the tears.
Great cover, many thanks.
I'm not a young man. And last year, I was listening to this song a whole bunch for some reason (I wouldn't have thought of it as my favorite Joel song)-- but I thought a kind of bookend would be to alter the lyrics to fit the same narrator, talking to the same person, but toward the end of the second person's life, and making that second person more reflective of what's happened since that song came out. (I also had the anxiety, depression, and self harm). Perhaps extra poetic that he wrote this about his father.
Here. You can be the only person that will ever see this (if that). The phrasing is a bit off, but works if you find it:
Hurry up, you lazy child
You were kinda ambitious for a little while
And we know you're so smart
But also know you're really afraid
You put out the fire, gained worry and doubt
There's a lot less to you since it burned you out
So much you won't do and
Oh too many hours in the day-ay-ay
And now that the truth is told
You didn't get what you want
But you sure got old
You never really kicked off and now your time is almost due
I think you realize.. Vienna wasn't for you
Hurry up; you've still got time
You could be much more than jokes
After a bot'le of wine.
It's just not that romantic to be borderline for life
"A shame", describes the life you lead
There's panic and sadness and unmet need
You always thought you were wrong
And wouldn't stand up for what's right
You had no passion, you had no pride
There was never any hope of being satisfied
Live on, and those debts will all come due
Why don't you realize.. Vienna's not for you
Hurry up, you lazy child
Your phone hasn't rung in a very long while
So what? It's not like it bothers you
I think you realize... Vienna don't want you
And now that the truth is told
You didn't get what you want
And you got so old
You never really kicked off and now your time is almost through-ooh-ooh
Now that you realize... Vienna's not for you
When did you realize.. Vienna ain't for you?
@@Kauffy901 Hi Kauffy901.
I'm so sorry to hear that you suffered similar mental health problems to my daughter and I hope this song, in all its forms, brings you some solace.
You obviously have a way with words/lyrics and I feel humbled that you felt you could share this work with me.
Take care and all the best.
i’m nearly eighteen and i cry every time i listen to this song because i remember when i was 14 and depressed, anxious and with very bad self harming. now it brings me peace knowing i’m okay and happy❤️
Hi eysebeia, I'm so sorry to hear of the difficulties you had but happy that this song brought you solace and that you are working through the bad times.
I was with my daughter a few days ago and she still loves this song. Music can be such a healing factor in all our lives.
All the best and take care.
@@Rjhs001 my best wishes for you 🫶🏻
I’m convinced that Toni has actual magic in those fingers.
Level of difficulty is high on this one.
She's such an underrated guitar player.
Magic fingers of Guitar Lady
Toni is awesome.
That first harmonized “hmmmm-mmmm”: mind-blowing.
So well done.
Yes. Stunning!
This is one of my favorite songs. Beautiful job.
Thank you for your reaction. It was you who drew my attention to these sublime harmonies.
You two make me remember the world is not total horror but full of beauty
It does my heart good to hear a Sunday song from Elle and Toni. Sundays have been missing you guys. Even better when Elle says “See you next week.”
Well, ladies this is one of your absolute best ever.
To take a piano song play it on acoustic guitars and also add harmonies, breathes new life into one of my all time favorites. You did Billy Joel proud.
It’s five in the morning here in Europe, and I’m on the bus to work. This makes my start into the week so much better, thank you! ❤
In Europe. Perhaps in… Vienna? 😊
Your “Vienna” earned you a subscription. Well done. Beautiful.
As a massive Billy Joel fan, I am normally really picky about people covering his songs, but that was absolutely beautiful. From the quality of the guitar playing to the vocals and harmonies, I can't fault a single thing. Absolutely stunning! Well done x
Call me Vienna because I wait for you every Sunday.😊 When you bestow your lovely singing and playing upon us, you always bring many smiles and lots of inspiration. Thank you, Elle and Toni. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead.
Great to hear your voices (and guitars) together again! Thank you, ladies!
Proper music from two proper musicians. The world is a better place for your presence and talent.
My favorite song off of one of the best pop albums ever recorded. Fantastic rendition.
There are no mistakes, only happy accidents....Bob Ross
Bob's hair though ... kind of a mistake. 😅
Yes.
@@kerryc5821 Just a sign of the times he was filming in.
@@kerryc5821 50 years from today people are going to say the same about tattoos and hockey picks in earlobes.
Pucks*
The guitar playing is like butter. 🤌
Sometimes I worry the music I grew up with (like Billy Joel’s) will be ignored by future generations. Thanks for calming my fears with this lovely cover.
Do you worry that you're missing out on music from their generation?
Hopefully you don’t ignore the music of the generations previous to yours.
Billy Joel’s music is timeless. Great music endures eg you can find covers of Blind Faith music by 20s/30s.
Stop worrying .. every little thing will be alright
Don't worry, quality will always come through 😊
Simply outstanding! The guitar work is amazing and the harmonies are rich.
I’ve worked very hard to quit worrying about my grandchildren’s future as I know there is little I can do to change the world that’s coming. At least the future will have Elle and Toni making music in it.
GREAT choice!! Billy himself says it’s in his top 5 favourite Billy Joel songs. Your beautiful singing and playing is only overshadowed by your exquisite musical taste…LOVED IT!❤
How blessed that you would return to our Sundays in the middle of this insomnia-filled night for me. I couldn't wish for better company. Thank you 💛
Anyone else waiting for Toni's pick to fall off her lap?? Hahaha!!! ...and then watch it in the outtakes! I LOVE Billy Joel! Well done, Ladies!!
I agree, it is such a beautiful song.
Wow, so good. One of my favorite Billy Joel songs. I love that you would cover a lesser known Billy Joel song.
One of Billy's favorites, too, according to himself.
Oneof my favorites Billy Joel tunes... underated in my opinion.
Loved the harmonies in this : )
Even he’s surprised at how popular a deep cut is after all these years. It’s still in his set list and the crowd always pops when he starts it.
Great job. I miss hearing you every Sunday. Without you I never would have started playing music again.
Apparently the youtube algorithm brought me hear after listening to Vienna 4,000 times. Good job, I love it! 💚
wow! this is one of my favorite songs of all time and one I often share at karaoke. this is my first time stumbling upon y’all, and I am enchanted. thanks for your offering!!
I have never heard the original, but this mind blowingly beautiful.
You should really listen to it. The Stranger is one of my top 5 albums of all time.
My new Elle/Toni favorite. NAILED it.
I just got old … but got more than I had I imagined. Thanks for the beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs.
Sweet, sweet, sweet! My ears are pleased - my soul is satisfied!
I love these two. Cool tune. Nice arrangement and well played.
I have MISSED YOU!!!!! Sundays are perfect with your songs. This one is my generation of nostalgia and I am so glad to see it coming around again!!!
Wonderful singing and playing. Thanks for bringing the smiles, I've missed you two :D
Beautiful Elle and Toni! Billy Joel is from Long Island New York and loves and has performed in Montauk New York where our family has a home. 🌊 🏄♂ 🏖 🎹 👍
Amazing performance both of you!!👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️🎤🎤🎸🎸🎶🎶🥰🥰
So excite. Happy Sunday ❤
ha ha ha love the song, love the last words "now you know we can play it" , we already knew 🥰
Love the way you nailed that tune ❤also loved the laughs on that outtake❤
youz are good people
thanks for sharing
Your voice is sounding so much better the older you get and her guitar playing just blows me away
Only a fool is satisfied😊 i can never get enough of you two❤
I miss the weekly Sunday morning uploads.
I have been playing this song on my guitar for 10 days straight, and then this treat!
Synchronicity is a sure sign someone up there loves you!
Peace
Never tried to play Synchronicity 😅, but then I’m not big on the Police 😜
Wow! Absolutely wonder cover. Toni nailed that solo.
Beautiful. Billy, I'm sure, has to be impressed. Thank you for this performance. 🤩
When Tony plays you can recognize her deep understanding of harmonies and scales. Makes you realize that musical theory is important if you want to reach a certain level.
one of those ones you know is gonna b e perfect before the first note even rings...beautifully done 😊(also always love seeing the outtakes...makes us all feel in good company 😅)
I know Billy is impressed on that one. Bravo.
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard.
Came here because of a silly video about fonts. Stayed because of some brilliant minds and some brilliant music. :) Thanks for sharing your warmth and talents, it inspires me to go make something.
One of my old favourites - and done without piano? Astounding!
And the duo-voice moments were perfect, too.
This was truly great stuff ... though if I'm honest, I'd rather enjoy you even "weakly" weekly Sundays over these smash treats sometimes. All good, always, Cheers
Wow! There you are again presenting this fine art piece of music and craftsmanship 😊. Missed your weekly "Happy Sundays" - coffee-greetings-sessions so much! Welcome back on YOUR STAGE 🎉❤ (early morning in Germany)
I love, love, love Billy Joel. And thats one of his best. Well done.
Seeing you two play together is always so delightful. Great song choice too!
This is my favorite William Joel song
This one put a big smile on my face! Vienna is my all time favorite Billy Joel song and I'm proud to say I've seen him perform it numerus times (most recently here at Madison Square Garden). Great job! Thanks!
Ah man - this is such a great cover of a brilliant song. I used to list to the BJ album a lot when I was a kid and this brought back lots of pleasant memories. Thanks
A beautiful cover of this great song by Billy Joel.
Such a wonderful laid-back song by a couple of wonderful laid-back ladies. Could the melody and harmony have been any better? Nope…can’t imagine how! Easy listening at its best. So calming. Thanks you, ma’ams. More, please…much more.
Я битломан бывший,мне 68 лет,тоже играю на гитаре.Мне нравится вся ваша творчество.Так держать,браво!!!❤❤❤Кыргызстандан жалындуу салам!!!
а битломаны "бывшими" бывают? )))
@@vim6712 ты прав,бывшими не бывает,до сих пор слушаю,наслаждаюсь! Спасибо за поддержку!
You two take songs for which I never cared much, and turn them into beautiful, life-affirming gems. Thanks.
Love this more than original but going to find the album in CZcams while I’m choring! Sounds excellent 👏🏼
Thank you both for making me smile on an otherwise crappy day.
Wonderful. Love Toni's guitar style and the out-take was a hoot. You ladies represent everything right with the world and humanity. Thanks.
The thing is, and I know you two hear it often enough to make you stop and think…This is actually BETTER than Billy’s. This has SOULLLL baby!! 🥰🥰
It was fun listening to you and to watch those likes climb (and climb again) as you sang "Slow down you crazy child". I'll now turn my attention to the song and your interpretation of it. Thank you very much.
Wow that was my favorite....... thank you guys
What a fantastic arrangement! I was singing this song to myself just a couple of weeks ago in - of course - Vienna. It was only a few days after coming home that I discovered these two brilliant individuals, who've fast become my favorite people on the whole damn internet. Brilliant performance. Can't wait for what's next!
lovely harmonies on a classic. great guitars. bravo elle and toni ❤
This is one of the most beautiful covers in the history of most beautiful covers ❤
I'll say it every damn time...I love you guys. I could watch and listen to you two all day. Love watching Elle sing and Toni play.
I don’t think I ever heard this song before but I love it. At least when you guys do it. Happy Sunday to you.
Bonjour Superbe interprétation J'aime beaucoup félicitation un très grand BRAVO à vous deux merci beaucoup pour ce beau partage je vous souhaite une excellente journée bien amicalement Michel 👍 👌 🤩 🙏💯💢👏👏👏👏👏👏💥😉💥😊💥 🤝 🙋 👍 👌
Today was a pretty great Sunday, and this performance made it even better ❤❤
Simple like clear cool mountain water and, as always, refreshing. Good form, well done.
My first thought--even before you reached that first electric summerwarm mmm--was that soon as this song reaches its end I'm going to listen to it again. And that says so much about how all the elements working together come rolling off the screen in this super, mightily sensitive reading. The attention to how the chords should be timed; the tricky picked transitions made good; the words expressed in nonfussy natural diction, and most of all, the story told like you both see it--in that unfeigned kind of singing that most artists just strive towards--make for a directline video. Your harmony is the best I've heard it--simply f&@*ing fantistic. Eleven stars...moh
Today you made me cry. Being 21, really resonated; and your arrangement was excellent. Love what you do!
Toni the Harmony Guru!🥰🥰🥰
That lower alto line *chef’s kiss*
That is such a beautiful. Billy Joel… one of my all time favorite artists! Wonderful cover cover - Great job!
We've been waiting. Thanks for being here.
My all time favorite song and my favorite modern musicians. Lovely.
You young ladies are just the best! Both the music and the mirth.
Love my Billy Joel, this song is a fav. Very cool that you play it on guitar. I play it piano from sheet. It's not a simple song. Good job Toni! You two rock!
WOW!!! Incredible!! Toni hits every note perfectly!! The arpeggiated chords, just the chords themselves, just beautifully done!! Thanks again ladies!!
One of my fav Billy Joel tunes, too. ❤ And a cool guitar arrangement - nice work, ladies! 😃😃😃
My favorite Billy Joel song
One of my favorite songs. That was a beautiful rendition. Thanks for sharing these. I always enjoy them!
Beautiful song and your voices blend so well together. Nice outtake too 😊
Wow! Amazing! Elle’s solos are excellent and their harmonies together are beautiful! Talented duo! Brilliant, heart ringing, and fun!
Isn't it crazy to think this song was merely a deep cut on Billy's finest album, The Stranger? Such a cute cover, well done! :D
Great job ladies, one of Billy Joel's best.Please do more.
I agree, such a beautiful cover! I create covers on my channel too, it would be great if you could take a look. Thank you! :)
You two great! Loved that ending. Thank you for sharing that. 😊
I've listened to this about 50 times and the last one is the best one so far.
That was great and I’m definitely going to try and steal your version. This song was really on my mind as our daughter is studying in Rome for her freshman year in college, took a weekend trip by herself to Vienna a few weeks back. Thanks it was lovely
Proper way to start the week with a stunning cover. Thank you. Love the outtake.
That's unbelievable: I was born in Vienna and I live in Vienna since more than three decades, but I think I've never heard this song before! (Or I forgot the title/lyrics?) Anyways, thank you for bringing this masterpiece to my attention. 🥹
That’s a long time favorite song of mine. Great job as always.
i ve been waiting so long...but now i am happy again with this wonderfull song by toni and elle Thanx Love you
Beautiful, and one of my all time favorite songs! Thanks for sharing.
