1. ”Piano Man”
Joel’s signature song. Off Joel’s 1973 album of the same name, Piano Man showcased Joel’s adeptness on the piano, which he began playing at an early age. The song’s lyrics speak of a typical night at the local piano bar from the point of view of the piano player. Joel sings about typical piano bar patrons and their clientele with lines like, “It's nine o'clock on a Saturday/The regular crowd shuffles in/There's an old man sitting next to me/Making love to his tonic and gin…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 feeling 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…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 drinking alone.” The lyrics paint a visual picture in listeners’ minds of this piano bar and the people who go there to drink their troubles away. It’s vivid imagery along with Joel’s proficient piano playing makes this a true musical classic!
