B Natural answer

I would say yes. is Vienna by Billy Joel, because it reminds me of my older cousin. He played it for me when I was finishing school and feeling pressure to decide everything at once. He told me to slow down and not rush my life, and that advice stuck with me. , I think of that conversation and the way he listened without trying to fix everything. of road trips, late-night talks, and the kind of support you only notice fully later. We do not see each other as often now, but when that song comes on, it feels like he is still giving me the same calm, practical advice.
