''River of Dreams'' is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter Billy Joel, released on August 10, 1993. He stopped recording new music as a performer after this album although he has subsequently released live albums, and composed the music for an instrumental album performed by Richard Joo. ''River of Dreams'' presented a much more serious tone from Joel than found in his previous albums, dealing with issues such as trust and long-lasting love. It was rumored that the themes of trust and betrayal, particularly certain lyrics from the songs "A Minor Variation" and "The Great Wall of China", stem from Joel's legal disputes with his former manager and ex-brother-in-law, Frank Weber, who reportedly embezzled millions of dollars from Joel and used dubious accounting practices to cover it up. The album cover was a painting by Joel's then-wife, Christie Brinkley. In 1993, ''Rolling Stone'' gave her the ''Top Picks'' award for "The Best Album Cover of the Year".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Official website )〕 ==Track listing== All songs written and composed by Billy Joel. #"No Man's Land" – 4:48 #"The Great Wall of China" – 5:45 #"Blonde Over Blue" – 4:55 #"A Minor Variation" – 5:36 #"Shades of Grey" – 4:10 #"All About Soul" – 5:59 #"Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)" – 3:32 #"The River of Dreams" – 4:05 #"Two Thousand Years" – 5:19 #"Famous Last Words" – 5:01 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「River of Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
