Billy Joel: And So It Goes Playlist

Added to all of that, you’ll hear song introductions from Billy Joel himself and other audio clips from the documentary.
“‘Big Shot’ was a hangover song. I don’t know how many times I woke up in the morning realizing I was an idiot the night before, felt like hell, had a hungover. You look in the mirror and you go, ‘You had to be a big shot, didn’t you?’”
There’s a whole host of new songs in the list including “Tomorrow Is Today (2025 Mix),” “You’re My Home (Live At Sparks),” “Everybody Has A Dream (Cold Spring Harbor Sessions),” “Vienna (Nuremberg Masterclass),” and No Man’s Land (The Shelter Island Sessions).”
