Welcome to Reddit,
The album itself went to number one while the fourth single "The Downeaster 'Alexa'" placed at 57 in the Billboard Hot It plays in common time at a tempo of 88 beats per minute. The song is sung in the persona of an impoverished fisherman off Long Island and the surrounding waters who, like many of his fellow fishermen, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and keep ownership of his boat, a type known as a downeaster. While the song is about a fictional person, it decries the plight of the Long Island Baymen known locally as Bubbies. The Baymen represent a dying breed of people who, like small farmers, work with the environment to provide for their families, men and women forced out of their livelihoods by industrial "factory" overfishing destroying the traditional fishing grounds as well as the creep of urban society and government regulation. Joel was always sympathetic to the hard working men who worked the sea, even getting arrested during a protest supporting the Baymen. At one point Joel had underwritten a plan by his young boat captain to use his boat Alexa Ray , a 46' custom downeaster as a commercial fishing and charter fishing operation.

For me, one of those bouncers is my marriage to the most wonderful woman alive. And the longer you see her you won't be getting out of anything soon either. It would behoove you in this situation to act like a kid yourself. So far I have been sad most of the time. I tell her there's no pressure and we'll just see how things play out. If you feel peaceful with your decision and you feel it is right that should be helpful. She drove an old Dodge Neon during her cash-strapped residency and fellowship. I knew going into this it would be difficult, so I've braced myself, but I'd be lying if I didn't say there's a lot of disappointment that comes along with the relationship.
