00:00Sometimes it's alien to me.

00:02This 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 a bunch of 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 Hickstreet.

00:59You 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.

01:09He 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.

01:23Still 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 that 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.

02:00He cares about the human experience.

02:03He 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.

02:34I don't care what you say anymore.
