Lyrics:

The sins of Amsterdam

Were still a recent surprise

And we were flying over

Scandinavian skies

We climbed towardsthe sun

We turned and cursed as one

We pulled the shades

And closed our eyes

The Stockholm city lights

Were slowly starting to rise

And we were strapped against

Those Scandinavian skies

Channeling the Beatles, particularly John Lennon... I've always thought this was a brilliant piece!

Billy Joel allo scoperto da @luchina Fisher di #ABC (e visto che si cita Jimi. . salutiamo anche @RedRonnie:) In un recente articolo di Luchina Fisher della ABC è uscito fuori un Billy Joel ancora più vero e sofferto.Billy Joel era ospite di una serata in suo onore ed oltre ai programmi di presente e futuro c'è stato anche uno strapiombo sul suo passato, con un'ammissione rimasta fino ad oggi segreta (non più di tanto) di uno scivolone sulla droga (eroina) presa alla fine del 1970 ad Amsterdam ed il cui risultato fu la canzone “Scandinavian Skies” contenuta nel suo ottavo album “The Nylon Curtain” del 1982, che come potrete ascoltare qui, riecheggia proprio una certa psichedelìa di Beatlesiana memoria.....L'ammissione è uscita fuori nell'intervista di Howard Stern e Robin Quivers al raduno di star unite a festeggiare il suo prossimo 65° compleanno (9 maggio).Alla domanda se avesse dei rimpianti, Joel risponde: "Se non hai rimpianti, che tipo di vita hai avuto?E uno di quelli che voglio ricordarvi è quando lasciai Woodstock prima della performance di Jimi Hendrix, me ne andai prima, perché i bagni chimici erano insufficienti....."Alla serata evento al Cutting Room di New York, si sono esibiti Pink, Melissa Etheridge, Boyz II Men, Idina Menzel e Tony Bennett e Billy ha eseguito una cover di "A Whiter Shade of Pale" dei Procol Harum.Joel sta pensando (oltre a scrivere nuove canzoni) anche di formare una band con altri artisti come Sting e Don Henley."Mi piace l'idea di formare una band" ha detto al pubblico "Un giorno o l'altro potremmo mettere su un bel gruppo di super folli e divertirci."The Piano Man Is Back.....

Substance abuse is joel's strong suit. Wasn't captain jack a song about marijuana? He is a known alcoholic.

What is this song about?

James Edgar

The drum at 0:36 sounds just like the drum in Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover." The rest of the song sounds like a perfect Beatles impersonation.

Beatle-esque for sure. Echoes of "I Am The Walrus."Lyrical phrasing is very close to John and Paul. Stringsand shifts in tempo call Beatles to mind also.

I heard Sade's 'Soldier of Love' marching into some 'Norwegian Wood', with the 'Pepper's Marching Band', and a dash of Frank Zappa in the meowing of violins. Wow!
