"Vienna" is a song from Billy Joel's breakthrough 1977 album "The Stranger", released as the B-side to his "She's Always A Woman" single. In a July 2008 New York Times article, Joel cited this as one of his two favorite songs, along with "Summer, Highland Falls". "Why did I pick Vienna to use as a metaphor for the rest of your life? My father lives in Vienna now. I had to track him down. I didn't see him from the time I was 8 'till I was about 23-24 years old.
