Vienna é uma música de Billy Joel, que reflete seus pensamentos sobre crescer muito rápido e a importância de desacelerar e aproveitar a vida. A inspiração veio após uma visita a Viena, Áustria, onde viu um velho varrendo as ruas. O pai de Joel, que estava vivendo em Viena na época, disse-lhe que as pessoas valorizam todos os tipos de trabalho lá, o que o fez refletir sobre como a vida não precisa ser apressada.
