Moving Out
One of my all time favorite songs is Anthony’s Song by Billy Joel. Many people know the song as Moving Out because that is the crux of the song. The song centers on Anthony who is the speaker in the lyrics. I loved the song Moving Out even before I understood the lyrics and when I did finally realize the meaning of Moving Out, it became almost a theme song of mine.
The song Moving Out was going through my mind after I broke up with my fiancée years ago. He and I had different views on what is important in life. He was very materialistic and that became a problem in our relationship. Things became very important to both of us. We needed the nicest clothes. We had to have the trendiest furniture in our way too expensive apartment and we leased the most popular cars every two years. Billy Joel’s Moving Out helped me work through the painful break up.
The song Moving Out reflects Billy Joel’s magnificent talent as a musician and as a writer. Moving Out tells a story about a man who realizes that there is more to life than material possessions. Many people work themselves into early graves just trying to get bigger and better things, like the Sergeant O’Leary character in the song Moving Out. He works two jobs and trades in his old car for a Cadillac that he can’t even drive because he breaks his back working.
It is no wonder to me that Moving Out was chosen to be the title of the Broadway musical based on Billy Joel’s music. The characters in Moving Out alone could be the center of an entire play. But Billy Joel has written a number of songs that revolve around interesting characters, like Piano Man.
The Broadway show is now on tour across the United States and in Japan this year. I am eager to attend a performance of Moving Out, and I’ve been following the cities and dates through Google. The cities and dates include performances of Moving Out across the country. Unfortunately, my city is not on the list yet. Hopefully, the show will visit my area. I am going to check through a Google search every so often to see if Moving Out comes to the Pittsburgh area. I would even drive to Cleveland to see a performance of the show.
