Sing Us a New Song, You’re Billy Joel, Man


“Turn the Lights Back On” is his first original track in 17 years.

Billy Joel has returned with his first piece of original music in three decades, the piano-driven ballad “Turn the Lights Back On,” which embodies the spirit and swelling pride of the burning piano meme. “I’m late but I’m here right now, and I’m trying to find the magic that we lost somehow.” Joel co-wrote the song with Arthur Bacon, Wayne Hector, and Freddy Wexler, and its release has been timed to his upcoming performance at the Grammy Awards. In addition to movin’ out of his Long Island compound for Florida, the piano man will be ending his wildly successful Madison Square Garden residency in July after 150 performances.
