Wikipedia article
"'The Night Is Still Young'" is a single by rock singer Billy Joel released as a new song from his compilation album 'Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II'. It is the second of two new songs on the album, the first being "You're Only Human (Second Wind)." "The Night Is Still Young" peaked at No. 34 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100.
'Cash Box' said it has "an aurally impressive arrangement and a triumphant chorus hook." 'Billboard' said it has a "brooding atmosphere and offbeat structure" that makes it different from many of Joel's other hits.
The video for the song mainly features the story of a man who has gone on a business trip, leaving his wife behind. This correlates with the song's lyrics, which speak of a man whose priorities are shifting away from his musical career and toward marriage and family.
The music video was directed by Neil Tardio.
