Notes: I never realized before how deep Billy Joel's songs are.  This probably deserved better treatment than a couple days' work.



Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and
Show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on

Well we all fall in love
But we disregard the danger
Though we share so many secrets
There are some we never tell
Why were you so surprised
That you never saw the stranger
Did you ever let your lover see
The stranger in yourself?

Don't be afraid to try again
Everyone goes south
Every now and then
You've done it, why can't
Someone else?
You should know by now
You've been there yourself

You may never understand
How the stranger is inspired
But he isn't always evil
And he is not always wrong
Though you drown in good intentions
You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire
When the stranger comes along.

Thank you! I intended to make something non white-collar-ish this time around, but when I heard this song I immediately thought of Neal :-)

I don't know White Collar (except via passing fandom references), but this is a nicely-done vid.

(I am not very articulate about vid skills, but you did editing things I liked, having to do with the flow between clips and...rhythm of the visuals, maybe?)

Thank you so much! The imagery in this one is very specific to White Collar, so I'm especially glad you liked it.

This is a perfect song for Neal. Great clip choices. The part of the song where you showed clips of Neal and Kate, I think those lyrics fit them so well too. Nicely done. :)

Finally got around to watching the vid, and I'm loving it! Perfect song for Neal, and a brilliant interpretation on your part!

I adore Billy Joel, and he's got some amazing songs. You should totally look at the lyrics! Who knows, you might be inspired to make more WC vids. *is totally selfless*

Thank you!

This song definitely got me into Billy Joel :-) Though the more serious songs are also usually more melancholy and then it's too depressing for me to vid.
