Don't Ask Me Why


I thought I'd blog about a song this time around. This song by Billy Joel is one of my favorites. It's called "Don't Ask Me Why". I'm not sure why he rolls his r's in this version, but hey, he's Billy Joel and can do what he wants. I can listen to this any time and not get sick of it. Usually when I listen to it I am listening to it on repeat. I'm that annoying girl, yes. This was my go to song last year when a boy broke my heart. It's my go to song when I'm in my greatest moods. It's my go to song when I'm bored/sad/lonely/hyper....you get it, I love this song. I'm not sure what exactly it is about this song, but it makes me so happy every time it comes on. I love the beat, and I can resist drumming along on my steering wheel. The piano solo toward the end of the song makes me feel guilty for not ever practicing the piano. I told myself that I'm going to learn that part of the song before I die. We'll see... I also told myself that I'm going to learn the saxophone part of "Only The Good Die Young", and I highly doubt that that's going to happen. Anyway, I hope you all like this song as well. It's a great one for any mood.

Ps. I went to his concert that he did with Elton John (my favorite singer) and it was unreal. If you ever have a chance to see either one of them, GO! They are incredible live! I would post a video that I took from the concert, but you can hear me singing along, and it's B-A-D. So I'll spare you all.

  1. Billy Joel is one of ALL TIME favorite musical artists! I sing his "Lullaby" to my kids at night (the Goodnight Angel one). Have you seen him play the Rootbeer Rag? Check out this link:
