Billy Joel, of all people, could do the Soundtrack of my life

As a child of the 80s, he's already peaked by the time I was old enough to recognize his music.  Nonetheless, my parents were both fans of his, and therefore his music played often while I grew up.  As I get older, my music tastes change a lot, but some people I always revert back to, and Billy Joel is one of them.   He definitely isn't the coolest guy in the world, but maybe that was it....I could relate to so many of his songs......

1)  You May Be Right-  This song is basically acknowledging what an exhausting pain in the ass he is. That's definitely me, I would be the guy who has to apologize profusely the next day for acting out of hand, but, pointing out how much fun I would be if you got the stick out of your ass.  

2)  Honesty-  A sappy ballad, yet....it's also very personal, because I've had several relationships where I was let down easy, when all I want is the truth.  

3) Big Shot-  This song reminds me of my Dad....because it's pretty much how he sarcastically regarded me when I moved to Calgary with all these big plans and no freaking clue. Though its about berating someone who had too much to drink and acted like a complete idiot....which could also pertain to me at times...

4)  I go to Extremes-  Pretty self explanatory....I don't burn bridges I napalm the shit out of them.  

5) My Life- I react.....prickly....when people try to tell me what to do.  This song pretty much says it all.   

6) Leave a Tender Moment Alone- Basically how I react when I meet someone I like.....Generally I get nervous and talk too much and make her think I'm a complete boob.  

7) Anthony's Song (Moving Out)-An inversion of this song....I live in Calgary(not Hackensack like the song), pay a ludicrous amount to live here and have a crummy job....hopefully it doesn't give me a heart attack-ack-ack-ack-ack

8) A Matter of Trust-  I have trust issues, but this is the most important thing to me in any relationship

9) Just the Way You Are- Makes me think of my family, as they are the only people who actually don't judge me and care about me for who I am.....there's also a friend or two...

10) Keeping The Faith- Despite my misanthropic exterior at times, I always do

11) Pressure- More on myself than anyone else.  I always say, nobody's harder on me than me.
