A cover of Billy Joel's 'Vienna' by Scott Whitten.
Recorded on June 11th, 2025, in one take with minimal post-processing.

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? Mm
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do
And only so many hours in a day, hey

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, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you wanna be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, 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're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
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 could just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
Why don't you realize Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?

I Always Do

“Ik ga mijn eigen dood zelf uitkiezen. Ik ben een vinexvrouw, geen buitenmeisje. Ik loop in mijn vlinderbroekje op het terras, ogen ploppen overal uit, uit mijn benen, mijn buik en mijn broekje is zo klein zacht en zo champagne, hier in deze wijk met houten kades zonder water, waar meisjesbenen tegen de gevel groeien.” Sasja Janssen dicht in een muzikaal bed met #CountBasie #LouisCK #BrigitteKaandorp #TheTravelingWilburys #JoopVisser #LennyenDeWespen #JanRot #BLØF #DeNieuweSnaar #Jiskefet #RaymondvanhetGroenewoud #GyeduBlayAmbolley #TheBrianSetzerOrchestra #JJCale #StevieWonder #MichelSardou #Maurane #GilbertBécaud ##JoLemaire #ZAZ #BillyJoel #Coldplay #ErosRamazzotti #AlainMazijn

ONE MORE TIME

When love drifts a billion miles away, only a kiss can bring the universe back in sync. Kiss Me My Love (2025) by Johnny Punish is a hauntingly beautiful alternative pop-rock ballad that blends the timeless saxophone-driven pop rock energy of Billy Joel with the melancholic lyrical sensibility of Morrissey with the unique rock style of Johnny Punish. Set against a backdrop of soulful saxophone and heartfelt vocals, the song tells a tragic love story of separation, longing, and cosmic misalignment. With vivid imagery of neon dreams, billion-mile distances, and a universe out of sync, this track is an emotional journey for anyone who’s ever loved deeply—and lost.

🎷 For fans of: Billy Joel, Morrissey, Elton John, The Smiths, Bruce Springsteen’s “Tunnel of Love” era.
💔 Vibe: Melancholic but romantic, cinematic, bittersweet.

🔊 Listen. Feel. Remember.

==========================
In this dream I had today
I saw you in a different way
Not like the girl I kissed before
But the lady that I miss

Not seen you in a thousand years
I feel your pain let me wipe your tears
From ripping you apart from me 
So our worlds don't drift away

(So far away)
But still in love
(So far away)
But nothing comes
(So far away)
Kiss me my love

The city of our dreams you said
Would be in neon lights not dead
But that's what's going on right here
One billion miles away

The universe is out of sync
I know because this cannot be
The way it should be for kids 
who fall in love this way

(So far away)
But still in love
(So far away)
But nothing comes
(So far away)
Kiss me my love

The universe is out of sync
I know because I cannot see
The moon and stars and worlds above 
When we fell in love this way

(So far away)
But still in love
(So far away)
But nothing comes
(So far away)...

Goodbye my love

Kiss Me My Love (MX)

Inspired by the news of Billy Joel's motorcycle shop closing after 15 years, "Bad Boys Play Forever" is a heartfelt piano rock ballad written as a tribute to the Piano Man. This song captures a fan's emotional journey from nostalgic reflection to a triumphant, cathartic celebration of Joel's enduring legacy. With a classic Long Island sound reminiscent of '70s and '80s rock ballads, the track evolves from an intimate solo piano and male vocal to a powerful, full-band anthem with soaring strings. It’s a sincere message of gratitude and hope, ending with a defiant a cappella line that echoes the timeless power of his music.

Bad Boys Play Forever

The news came down the line today, a final note on Audrey Way 
"I'm sorry to disappoint," you said, as health took precedent instead. 
The gears are quiet, the doors are shut, a final chapter in a hometown rut. 
But your songs still play on in my mind, a soundtrack you so kindly designed.

So thank you, Billy, for the ride, For all the truths you kept inside 
And let us see, through all the years, You calmed our hearts and quieted fears. 
From Oyster Bay to all the world, Your songs of healing have unfurled. 
And now we send that love to you, To help you heal and see you through. 

As parts are sold and treasures go, a Long Island story starts to slow. 
We never met, but through your words, I felt like one of your own thirds. 
Through every lyric and every beat, your music made a friend so sweet. 
Your life's a song I’ve memorized, in every heartbreak, every prize. 

So thank you, Billy, for the ride, For all the truths you kept inside 
And let us see, through all the years, You calmed our hearts and quieted fears. 
From Oyster Bay to all the world, Your songs of healing have unfurled. 
And now we send that love to you, To help you heal and see you through. 

We know your melodies have mended souls, filled its share of lonely empty holes. 
The wisdom in your words rings true, so now this fan has a lesson for you. 
You’ve given all you had to give, so take the time you have to live. 
This song we play is just for you, from everyone you've helped see through. 

So rest your mind and never fret, You've given more than you could get. 
Billy Joel audiences are disappointed never, 
'Cause no matter what, all bad boys play forever. 



Bad Boys Play Forever
