On the said chart, it peaked at number 19. It was actually the first of his tunes to reach as high as number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to appear at all on the UK Singles Chart. This track is a single from Billy Joel’s album “The Stranger”, which Columbia Records put out on 29 September 1977. And it was the Piano Man’s initial big hit. When did Billy Joel release “Just the Way You Are”? Indeed it can be said that the sentiment expressed therein is based more on a romantic fantasy than reality, for even the woman Billy Joel composed this timeless tune in relation to ended up dumping him. So in a way, this is like the ultimate love song. All of us desire that significant other who’ll accept us ‘just the way we are’ rather than trying to exert their own will and ideologies upon us. “Just the Way You Are” is The Ultimate Love Song So the implication behind all of this would be that he is already 100 percent enamored with her, being smitten in such a manner that it’s impossible for him to fall in love with her any further. And along those lines we can additionally postulate that if she did do something out of ordinary to impress him, it would probably yield a negative as opposed to positive response. And that is the concept that the title is based on.Īnd secondly, furthering said thought process is the notion that he will never grow tired of her. So the singer is assuring his partner that even into the future he won’t suffer from any type of romantic boredom, a mood which does in fact tend to destroy many a relationship.Īnd what all of this boils down to is him actually encouraging her to be inactive as opposed to actively trying to edify their romance or impress him. The vocalist does not want the addressee to make any type of personal modifications whatsoever, particularly if she is doing so in an attempt to somehow flatter him. You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.First is that she does not need to change in order to make him happy. In other words, the narrator is pleased with the addressee as is. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live and let's change the way we treat each other.
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes. " I gotta get paid," Well hey, well that's the way it is
#Just the way lyrics crack
I see no changes all I see is racist faces misplaced hate makes disgrace to races We under I wonder what it takes to make this one better place, let's erase the wasted Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right 'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight and only time we chill is when we kill each other it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other And although it seems heaven sent We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks But some things will never change try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game Now tell me what's a mother to do bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you You gotta operate the easy way "I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way sellin' crack to the kid.

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids but things changed, and that's the way it is
