Brilliant performance. From both. Hard to believe.

Even if this gets all the attention in the world, it would still be underrated.

The piano is heavenly arranged and very well played! Congratulations!

This touches the deepest corners of my soul

[wisedove]

This song has been one of my personal favs for over 20 years, and this is by far the best arrangement/rendition of this deeply personal statement I have heard (...and I've heard hundreds of different singers' versions). The original was written with block chords...locking the singer into the phrasing of the chords, but the message of a heart aching to be open to love is amplified by the freedom of more open phrasing. Although one of Billy's best songs can stand on its own, Sara's pure voice and outstanding phrasing...combined with Josh's spectacularly tasteful support gently invites the listener to one of the soul's most vulnerable places. Kudos..and thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. The only cover I have ever heard that does this song justice!

If there is meaning in music, and a connection we are to draw in our lives from the tones and lyrics, this is a fine example of that. Someone knew of Billy Joel's song, and knew he had scribed it, unknowingly, for Sara Gazarek's voice. If there is a soul to be found in music, start here.

[ProducerGaryPowell]

I love the sense of pause in this performance from Sara and Josh. That element alone disarmingly echoes nothing from our current over-stimulating culture and ultimately becomes its own offering to the illusive elixir of life. Thank you both for the moment of peace.

My what this does for the soul, beyond words .

[MrJazzohjazz]

Beautiful .... served on butterfliy wings .... fine example of a song turned into something more ...

This has been a great week for an old man. Through Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist that has me figured out to a T, with 30 songs and two hours including opera and classical, it introduced me to both the band Pink Martini and this lovely Sara Gazarek. Folks, it don't get better. Thanks life!

Josh Nelson's accompaniment is subtly brilliant.

[jamesmurray]

So emotional-your voice is so beautiful Sarah

[richardcondon]

Memorable like few others. Heard it for the first time on Netflix 'After Life" which starts and ends each episode with a pertinent and sometimes touching piece of music art. This one grabs you by your inner heart.

[SteveAllenMusic]

Stunning in every possible musical sense!! Just subscribed to both your channels. Look forward to discovering more of your wonderful music. My new favourite pianist.

[carch]

You both put so much soul in this interpretation... Thanks.

Sublime....this touched my soul and tears are running down my face

[pamelaledgerwood]

Josh Is an absolutely brilliant pianist & his arrangement of this song is exquisite. I had a hard time hearing Sara. it seemed she almost swallowed some of the words she was
singing. Its one of my favorite songs....so soulful & profound.

[Andalucia]

This my breath away! Thanks Sara for your honest performance.

[TheJohnnyBE]

Sara & Josh are now entering the same league as Tony & Bill. The intimacy here is something rarely heard. Looking forward to many more years of their complicity.
