Billy Joel: Breakup Songs
Apple Music


No one can narrate the inner and outer monologues of a breakup quite like Billy Joel. "It's either sadness or euphoria," he coos over a quick piano line on "Summer, Highland Falls". That sadness drenches every heart-rending lyric on this playlist of painful goodbye ballads like "I've Loved These Days". But if you listen closely, the euphoria lurks there, too, energising the guitars in "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)".
