One of my favorite songs is Vienna, by Billy Joel. I like the message of slow down, you have your whole life. After the second verse there is an interesting accordion solo. The piano runs going down keeps it interesting while still building anticipation for the second line of the chorus. The short rests make the rhythm interesting. The vocal flourishes at the end of each verse provide a smooth transition into the chorus or next verse. The instrumentals do a good job of keeping the listener in the mood between vocals.
Another one of my favorite songs is Downeaster “Alexa”. The topic of Long Island fishermen was a very interesting one. I like the folk feel the song has. I like the way verses move from high to low in pitch. The background music
