And So It Goes
About “And So It Goes”:
"And So It Goes" is a song written by Billy Joel in 1983, but not released until its inclusion as the tenth and final track on his 1989 studio album Storm Front. The original 1983 demo was released on the 2005 box set My Lives. Joel wrote the song about his doomed relationship with model Elle Macpherson which began around 1983. They began dating after the divorce from his first wife, Elizabeth. Macpherson was about 19 years old in 1983, while Joel was around 34. Joel dated Macpherson for only a brief time, possibly up to 1984 or even 1985. During that time he also became involved with model Christie Brinkley, who would ultimately become his second wife in 1985.
