Duration: 6:7
Description:
Piano Man.Note: Photos of the younger Bob Dylan are on this video partly because he is known for his harmonica talent and there are harmonica parts in the song. Dylan was part of music's 'foundations' in the 1960's and onwards and I'm sure influenced many musicians who in turn influenced others with their sounds and take on music expression. According to Google, Billy Joel sang a song written by Dylan--"To Make you Feel My Love."To read more, Google him or search it on the web: http://www.bobdylanlyrics.net/bob-dylan-biography.htm .--Lyrics:"Piano Man", Billy JoelIt's nine o'clock on a SaturdayThe regular crowd shuffles inThere's an old man sitting next to meMakin' love to his tonic and ginHe says, "Son, can you play me a memoryI'm not really sure how it goesBut it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it completeWhen I wore a younger man's clothes."la la la, di da daLa la, di di da da dumChorus:Sing us a song, you're the piano manSing us a song tonightWell, we're all in the mood for a melodyAnd you've got us all feelin' alrightNow John at the bar is a friend of mineHe gets me my drinks for freeAnd he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smokeBut there's some place that he'd rather beHe says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."As his smile ran away from his face"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie starIf I could get out of this place"Oh, la la la, di da daLa la, di da da da dumNow Paul is a real estate novelistWho never had time for a wifeAnd he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the NavyAnd probably he will be for lifeAnd the waitress is practicing politicsAs the businessman slowly gets stonedYes, they're sharing a drink they call lonelinessBut it's better than drinkin' aloneChorussing us a song you're the piano mansing us a song tonightwell we're all in the mood for a melodyand you got us all feeling alrightIt's a pretty good crowd for a SaturdayAnd the manager gives me a smile'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to seeTo forget about their life for a whileAnd the piano, it sounds like a carnivalAnd the microphone smells like a beerAnd they sit at the bar and put bread in my jarAnd say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"Oh, la la la, di da daLa la, di da da da dumChorus:sing us a song you're the piano mansing us a song tonightwell we're all in the mood for a melodyand you got us all feeling alright

Feb 23, 2012 - wow what a song. . one of my favorites. I feel the true essence of the song can be captured in the last verseCause i know that its me they've been comin' to seeto forget about life for a while. . . he also goes on to question his own role thee at the bar (man what are you doin here) . . We are all living lives that are not perfect according to us, and somewhere we look upto something or someone for some hope.

Mar 9, 2012 - Love this song. Gotta love these YouTube videos with pictures that exactly match the lyrics. I mean come on, you need a picture of a "Hello, my name is John" nametag when the lyric is "Now John at the bar is a friend of mine." It's neccessary, it just adds so much :P

Apr 13, 2012 - Billy Joel is one of the best composer/lyricists ever. His lyrics actually tell a story and have meaning, and his arrangements are amazing. Greatest singer/songwriter ever.
