That's pretty sad, if you're someone who likes music!

to queue people to get the hell out of that depressing place and go have a party somewhere.

Billy Joel's Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway), live. Tough to hear from this vid, but when he started playing the intro, there was a brief shout of "No!" from the audience. Honestly...after 9/11, I didn't expect him to ever play this song again.

46 seconds in, note what is on the piano.

"Tears in Heaven" is a song by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings from the soundtrack to the film Rush. The song was written about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor. Conor fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment belonging to his mother's friend on March 20, 1991. Clapton arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, and was distraught over his son's death.

"The Living Years" is a pop rock ballad written by Mike Rutherford and B. A. Robertson, and recorded by Rutherford's English rock band Mike + The Mechanics. It was released in January 1989 as the second single from their album, Living Years.

"The lyrics were written by BA [Robertson] and the song is about something he went through. He lost his Dad and it's about the lack of communication between him and his father before he died. There's also the irony of him having a baby just after losing his father."

Critical reception

In an interview with Mojo (1996), Burt Bacharach stated "The Living Years is one of the finest lyrics of the last 10 years".

I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say.
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him
In the living years
