Billy Joel’s ‘And So It Goes‘ was one of the many songs featured on the soundtrack of This Is Us yesterday — This Is Us, Season 6, Episode 15, “Miguel“.
The matter-of-fact song was played during the entire ending montage, as Miguel is in Rebecca’s bedroom, Kevin visits Miguel’s son, and his son joins the Pearson’s for Christmas.
It continues playing after Miguel has died and his ashes are scattered under the tree and on the baseball diamond.
Billy Joel‘s ‘And So It Goes‘ was released as the last song on the singer’s 10th studio album Storm Front, which came out in 1989 on the Columbia label.
Interestingly, the song was written about Joel’s relationship with model Elle Macpherson, which happened several years before ‘And So It Goes‘ was released when Macpherson was still only 19 and Joel was 33.
The relationship didn’t last long, however, before Joel began dating model Christie Brinkley and subsequently married her.
The pair stayed married for almost 10 years.
The black and white music video for ‘And So It Goes‘ features Joel performing the song in concert.
