the opening song, "movin' out (anthony's song)," centers around anthony, a grocery-store employee from long island who "dreams of making it big," receiving pressure from his family to move out and go his own way. joel stated in a q&a session that he initially wrote the song's lyrics to the tune of the song 'laughter in the rain' by neil sedaka, doing so without even realizing the similarity until it was brashly pointed out the next day by drummer liberty devitto. not wanting to waste all of the words he had come up with, joel rewrote the song, coming up with a new melody that fit with the lyrics. the album's title track, according to joel, was written by him without any core themes in mind and could be open up to interpretation, though he stated that it could be seen as a song about a man with schizophrenia. while composing the song, joel whistled the track's signature theme for ramone, claiming that he (joel) needed to find an instrument to play it. ramone told joel that the whistling he did was perfect, and thus it was kept in the final recording. according to joel in an interview with the today show, the percussive rhythm used in the song came about while he was toying around with an ace tone rhythm ace drum machine, which contained a drum beat that he heard while scrolling through the machine's library of rhythm tracks. after hearing the beat, he thought that the rhythm would be nice to fool around with, and wrote the song shortly afterwards. "just the way you are (billy joel song)" was inspired by joel's love for his wife at the time, elizabeth weber. he stated on a siriusxm broadcast in 2016 that the melody came to him in a dream while he was working on "the stranger". he forgot about the melody shortly afterwards, but it came back to him while he was in a business meeting. joel originally considered keeping the song off the album, as he dismissed it as a "gloppy ballad" that was out-of-place compared to the rest of the album. ramone disagreed, and brought linda ronstadt and phoebe snow into the studio to prove that it was worth including. upon hearing the song, the two artists both praised it, thus convincing him to feature the song. the seven-and-a-half-minute epic "scenes from an italian restaurant", which follows a pair of young lovers from long island named brenda and eddie who go through a failed marriage, is 3 different, shorter songs- "the italian restaurant song", "things are ok in oyster bay" and "the ballad of brenda and eddie." joel stitched the three songs together, inspired by the similar approach taken with side two of the beatles' abbey road, while ramone helped intertwine them with backing orchestration.
