Billy Joel is if not my favorite musician, he is at least in the top five. Those thoughtful lyrics and piano play, reach me and many others.
Play melodies of personal tragedy
Life springs inspiration to task
Where purpose touches gladly
Relieving for a moment
Pent-up energy that arises
Until the vocal chorus is sent
To the waiting audience's solace
Cigarette smoke swirls
Around the curly dark hair
As the bar-like tumult
Speaks cool, masking despair
Survivor of multiple heartbreaks
Bankrupted, stolen worth drives
Anger, desire, a clear tone speaks
So, each tune is a work that appears
As if there is no effort
Yet each note takes a toll
So, the desire to create floats
To the bottom of stories left untold

His Piano Sings My Heart
The keys Ivory and blackPlay melodies of personal tragedy
Life springs inspiration to task
Where purpose touches gladly
Relieving for a moment
Pent-up energy that arises
Until the vocal chorus is sent
To the waiting audience's solace
Cigarette smoke swirls
Around the curly dark hair
As the bar-like tumult
Speaks cool, masking despair
Survivor of multiple heartbreaks
Bankrupted, stolen worth drives
Anger, desire, a clear tone speaks
So, each tune is a work that appears
As if there is no effort
Yet each note takes a toll
So, the desire to create floats
To the bottom of stories left untold
