00:00Sometimes it's alien to me, this guy Billy Joel.
00:05I don't know who that is or what that is.
00:12I'm reminded of it when I go walk on the street.
00:19Oh right, I'm that guy.
00:23Back then, his whole life was the band.
00:27We just wanted to make as much noise as possible.
00:29I didn't know one person who liked what we were doing.
00:31I loved it.
00:33I wanted to put together a group of New York musicians.
00:36They were winter hooligans from Long Island.
00:40My own history as a musician started with me hearing classical music.
00:46Uptown Girl.
00:48It could have been a Mozart piece.
00:52Are you the man singing Uptown Girl?
00:54That's me.
00:55Here I am dating this supermodel.
00:57Me? I'm from Hicksville.
00:59You can feel the enormity of the situation grow.
01:03When I first heard Billy, it was like, wait a minute, who's this?
01:06Billy's melodies are better than mine.
01:08He had a great sense of drama.
01:11He had the magic.
01:12There are certain traumas that one never gets over.
01:19There's an underlying rage that wiped out my family.
01:23I'm still trying to put the pieces together.
01:25I didn't know my father at all from eight years old until I was in my 20s.
01:30I've had a lot of hard lessons in my life.
01:32I should have been worth this, and I was worth this.
01:36And I hit the pavement.
01:38Kaboom.
01:39I was amazed that I was still alive.
01:42I learned life is a fight.
01:46I don't care what you say anymore.
01:49If there was a skeleton key to unlocking what's behind the songs.
01:54Go ahead with your own life.
01:56Leave me alone.
01:57It's my relationships with others.
01:59He cares about the human experience.
02:02He wrote songs that matter.
02:04I think music saved my life.
02:06It gave me a reason to live.
02:08I don't care what you say anymore.
02:11This is my life.
02:13Everything I've done and everything I've lived through
02:15has somehow found its way into my music.
