Suicide Prevention Month: 38th Anniversary Of "You're Only Human" In Top 10

(Undated) -- September is National Suicide Prevention Month and also marks the 38th anniversary of Billy Joel's suicide prevention anthem reaching the top ten. "You're Only Human" peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1985. The video plays on the theme of the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life" as Joel portrays an angel who stops a teenager from jumping off a bridge by showing him what the world would be like without him. The song's lyrics say we're "supposed to make mistakes" and we all get a "second wind." If you or someone you know is considering suicide, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 9-8-8.
