Vienna

W/C 8th January 2023

I was thinking of a suitable title for this weeks slice of TFM and I haven't been able to get the first line of Vienna out of my head...

I have been a BJ fan for as long as I can remember, and I first saw him live on the Bridge Tour in July of 1987 at the NEC in Birmingham. Vienna is one of those songs that was never a single, seems modest in its ambition, but somehow worms its way into your psyche.

Whilst the song is a metaphor for getting old, it was inspired by a trip he made to find his estranged father when he toured Europe for the first time.

For the purposes of TFM, it is the first line that resonates, but for those of you unfamiliar with the song then you are in for a treat.

Stay safe.

Vienna - Billy Joel

Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.

If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.
