    Billy Joel. Piano Man. The song that made Billy's career start to take off, eventually turning him into a worldwide sensation. Billy himself used to work as a piano lounge singer, and the song is based on his own experiences during that time, with the characters he sings about being based on real people. Most people don't know this as his work is overshadowed by his pop hits, but Billy is also a trained pianist and composes classical works for piano, check out his Fantasies & Delusions! For now, enjoy this cover and have a beautiful Monday ♥

    When I was younger my Dad and I didn’t have the best relationship, we fought over stupid stuff and never seemed to get along. It was one thing after another and we grew distant even when I was very young. One day however I went downstairs on a particularly dark night as I was captivated by the sound of a piano and harmonica mixing to make a beautiful sound. My Dad and I didn’t talk, we just listened, we listened to Billy Joel sing about the bartender, the waitress, Davy in the Navy, and all the rest. My Dad and I have a good relationship now but the thing that started it was music and the first song that started it was Piano Man by Billy Joel. We’d sit and listen to the music and we gradually grew closer because of it. I’ll never forget that. When life gets tough it seems one of the first things I turn towards is listening to music. I apologize for the story but this song means a lot to me. Your piano cover was beautiful. Thank you.

    Piano Man
    Billy Joel
    It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    There's an old man sitting next to me
    Makin' love to his tonic and gin
    He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
    I'm not really sure how it goes
    But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
    When I wore a younger man's clothes"
    La la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright
    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    He gets me my drinks for free
    And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
    But there's someplace that he'd rather be
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
    As the smile ran away from his face
    "Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
    If I could get out of this place"
    Oh, la la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    Who never had time for a wife
    And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
    And probably will be for life
    And the waitress is practicing politics
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But it's better than drinkin' alone
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you got us feeling alright
    It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
    To forget about life for a while
    And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
    And the microphone smells like a beer
    And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
    And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
    Oh, la la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you got us feeling alright

    Doctor : so..... You're suffering from addiction.
    Me: yes...
    Doctor: to what?
    Me: ummmm.... It's a UA-cam channel called Rousseau piano music.
    Doctor: Ahh..... This is a virus that outbroke a year ago... Over one million people were affected. The symptoms include a state of bliss and heavenly feeling, binge watching his videos , and not shutting up about him. Sadly , I cannot help you as I am myself an avid fan of this channel.let me know if you find a cure.

      Nothing that is overconsumed is good for your health. Even this beautiful music. If you get too addicted it might interfer with you every day life which in turn can lead to disaster.

    It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
    The regular crowd shuffles in
    There's an old man sitting next to me
    Makin' love to his tonic and gin
    He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
    I'm not really sure how it goes
    But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
    When I wore a younger man's clothes"
    La la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Sing us a song, you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you've got us feelin' alright
    Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
    He gets me my drinks for free
    And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
    But there's someplace that he'd rather be
    He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
    As the smile ran away from his face
    "Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
    If I could get out of this place"
    Oh, la la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Now Paul is a real estate novelist
    Who never had time for a wife
    And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
    And probably will be for life
    And the waitress is practicing politics
    As the businessmen slowly get stoned
    Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
    But it's better than drinkin' alone
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you got us feeling alright
    It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
    And the manager gives me a smile
    'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
    To forget about life for a while
    And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
    And the microphone smells like a beer
    And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
    And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
    Oh, la la la, di da da
    La la, di da da da dum
    Sing us a song you're the piano man
    Sing us a song tonight
    Well we're all in the mood for a melody
    And you got us feeling alright
