Piano Man by Billy Joel
Released in 1973, this cool and chill song is largely inspired by Billy Joel's personal experience as a bar pianist.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1] It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an old man sittin' 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"
[Refrain] La, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] 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"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Verse 3] 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
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 4] 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?"
[Refrain] Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da La-la, di-dee-da da-dum
[Chorus] 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

Bowie because his music literally saved my life
Love you forever

I'm back!
So, sorry for the big wait. I had an issue with my tumblr, therefore haven't been able to post or see anything. But I came back from the dead with my actual favorite song (for the second time, sorry).
This one is an exception, I will try to not put twice a song.
I'm gonna keep up with the lyrics thing, though.









🌟 I drew this to celebrate David Bowie's birthday, he would be 77 years old today. 🌟😭
