"All for Leyna" is a song by Billy Joel from the 1980 album Glass Houses. The song was released as a single in the United Kingdom, where it reached #40 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
The lyrics tell the story of the protagonist who meets a girl named Leyna, and, after a one-night stand, becomes obsessed with her. A performance music video was made featuring Joel and his band in the studio. The video prominently features Joel playing a Yamaha CP-80 electric grand piano and an Oberheim OB-X synthesizer.
The video version differs from the album version. The track from the music video is the same but a new vocal was recorded.
The band Gods of Mount Olympus covered the song in their single "Visitor".[3]
In 2024, recording artists Mirage Box released a version of the song on their "Tracks In The Sand" double-CD.
