I Go To Extremes
A song I'd pretty much forgotten existed. A compliment, compared with the the album's awful, earwormy first single that I only wish I could strike from memory. Ah, Billy Joel. His songwriting really does go to extremes. Quel human.
Artist: Billy Joel
Year: 1989 - album/1990 - single

hahahaha, sad, but larfin' anyhoo. no meh rating... imagine though-- did bjoel feel explosive expressive brave and exuberant manic and maverick penning then pounding out this piece?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, J, indeed. I have no idea if he felt creatively satisfied after penning this album or just realistically thought, "Damn, I know how to write a mediocre, but lucrative song."
ReplyDeleteyesss. excellent fodder for thought!
