Through the Long Night

Through the Long Night

Happy New Year everyone. Today on this episode of Billy Joel A to Z we are discussing the song Through the Long Night, which is the tenth and final song on the great 1980 album, Glass Houses. This Beatlesque song could be a pre-cursor to the entire next album, which is The Nylon Curtain. The song is based on a Picasso painting which means it's a big old mess. 😄 Not really though -- it's a terrific song that no one every thinks about and why we do the podcast.
