Slow Down & Listen

Vienna by Billy Joel is a song that I have discovered recently. It is quite a shame that it took me this long to get into this song because this song is a serious wake up call for me. A beautiful song that embodies everything that is needed in this world today.

Another month is about to close and I just wanted to send out a reminder to the world: SLOW DOWN PEOPLE. I know you may have some place important to go, important people to meet, a long list of things needed to get done but just think of this song. Listen to this song. SLOW DOWN...

We want to be everything, everywhere on this planet but that is a physical impossibility. Nothing may be impossible except I guess being everywhere at the exact same time. We are closing another chapter, another month in our lives that we can never take back so make most of your time but choose wisely. Never pack in everything at once. It just can't be done. Listen to Billy Joel, take this song in. Breathe, listen and for the last time, slow down...

Slow down you crazy child

You're so ambitious for a juvenile

But then if you're so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?

You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine

You can't be everything you want to be

Before your time

Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight

Too bad but it's the life you lead

You're so ahead of yourself

That you forgot what you need

Though you can see when you're wrong

You know you can't always see when you're right

You got your passion you got your pride

But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?

Dream on, but don't imagine they'll come true

When will you realize

Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child

Take the phone off the hook

And disappear for a while

It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two

When will you realize

Vienna waits for you

And you know that when the truth is told

That you can get what you want

Or you can just get old

You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through

Why don't you realize

Vienna waits for you

When will you realize

Vienna waits for you
