History [edit]

Billy Joel conceived the idea for the vocal when he had just turned 40. He was in a recording studio and met a 21-year-old friend of Sean Lennon who said "It'south a terrible time to be 21!" Joel replied to him, "Yeah, I remember when I was 21 – I idea it was an awful time and we had Vietnam, and y'know, drug issues, and ceremonious rights problems and everything seemed to exist atrocious." The friend replied, "Yeah, yeah, aye, but it's unlike for you lot. Y'all were a kid in the fifties and everybody knows that nil happened in the fifties". Joel retorted, "Wait a minute, didn't yous hear of the Korean War or the Suez Canal Crunch?" Joel later said those headlines formed the bones framework for the song.^[2] Joel has also criticized the song on strictly musical grounds. In 1993, when discussing it with documentary filmmaker David Horn, Joel compared its melodic content unfavorably to his song "The Longest Time": "Take a song similar 'We Didn't Get-go the Fire.' It's really non much of a song ... If you have the melody by itself, terrible. Like a dentist drill."^[3]

When asked if he deliberately intended to chronicle the Common cold War with his vocal^[four] he responded, "Information technology was only my luck that the Soviet Spousal relationship decided to close downwards shop [before long after putting out the song]", and that this bridge "had a symmetry to it, it was 40 years" that he had lived through. He was asked if he could do a follow-upward about the next couple of years afterwards the events that transpired in the original song, he commented "No, I wrote one song already and I don't think it was actually that good to brainstorm with, melodically."^[5]
