Great Billy Joel, great Crystal, great everyone, what a song. Only 391,000 views, but you can find a video of a road rage fight with 3.000.000 views, tht's in a nutshell the world we live in.

For your information, the wonderful Crystal Taliefero was 'hitting all the high notes'. The late great T-Bone Wolk on bass guitar, Liberty Devitto on drums, Dave Rosenthal on piano, Tommy Burns on lead guitar and Mark Rivera (saxophonist) on key boards. This concert was broadcast 'live' on German TV and on BBC Radio 1. I was privileged to attend Billy's concert in Paris two or three weeks earlier.

Billy Joel film I’m a 17 year old filmmaker working on many screenplays at the moment and in the last couple months I’ve really fell in love with Billy Joel’s music an I’ve been seeing in the comments the desire for a movie. I’m not a fan at all of the rocket man or bohemian rhapsody films so I was thinking of something completely different. Thinking about it called something like ‘Oh, Billy’ About the old man’s life from piano man Goes through his life playing Billy Joel songs over non-diegetic songs as they don’t really exist yet, sorta Billy Joel acting as the score for the film with all his music. The songs shape the sequences as much as the sequences shape the need for the song. Also some scenes will match with the famous music videos, for example, after prom the old mans left in the hall after all the celebration left alone, but obviously they don’t start signing ‘the longest time’ Then about half way through the movie when the man’s getting old an his life is starting to fall down in a monotonous way he’s drinking in a bar in the late 60’s, he’s slightly drunk, when he asks the man who’s being playing the piano who’s now having a drink something like this “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” The man walks away from the man seeing this as the delirious wandering of an old lonely man. When he moves we see a boy say the bar with his father watching the old man. The man then leaves living the rest of his life, reconnecting with his son before he dies. After his funeral the son stops at the same bar where he has a drink to remember his father when a dark figure in the piano starts to play ‘piano man’ he looks over, listening, as his remembers his father and in a way let’s him go in an emotional manner as he watches the dark figure play. Fades to black an piano man continues over the credits.

The title track off An Innocent Man album (1983), he said he wanted to record this before he could no longer hit the high notes himself. Inspired by the music of Benny King, and also influenced by the neighborhood A Capella groups that would sing on street corners when he was young, it's just a beautiful song recorded immaculately - and I try to listen to that studio cut once a week.

That's the logo of a German TV channel, that had the concert in its program and he recorded it from television (judging by the video quality, probably in the good old days with a VCR and later converted to digital form)

Algunas personas se quedan muy lejos de la puerta Si hay una posibilidad que se va abrir Oyen una voz en el pasillo afuera Y esperan que pasen de largo. Algunas personas viven con miedo a tocarlas Y la ira de haber sido engañados Ellos no escucharán a nadie Así que nadie les dice una mentira. Yo sé que sólo te estás protegiendo. Yo sé que estás pensando de alguien más Alguien que te lastimó, Pero no me es posible Reconciliarte con el amor Has estado negando lo que podías sentir No me es posible hacer nada Para restaurar tu fe, si pudiera. Algunas personas ven a través de los ojos de la vejez Antes siquiera de echar una mirada a la juventud Sólo estoy dispuesto a escucharte llorar Porque yo soy un hombre inocente Yo soy un hombre inocente Soy un hombre inocente Ay sí, yo soy. Algunas personas dicen que nunca creerán Otra promesa que oyen en la oscuridad Porque sólo recuerdan demasiado bien Que oyeron lo que alguien les decía antes. Algunas personas duermen solitos por la noche En lugar de llevar un amante a la cama. Algunas personas descubren que es más fácil a odiar Que esperar un poco más. Yo sé que no quieres oír lo que digo. Yo sé que tu vas a seguir rechazándome Pero he estado ahí y si yo puedo sobrevivir No me ves posible pasar por esto de nuevo No me ha sido posible ser sereno por un tiempo Si eres cruel conmigo, lo entenderé. Algunas personas corren de una posible pelea, Algunas personas se imaginan que nunca ganarán Y aunque esta es una lucha que puedo perder El acusado es un hombre inocente. Yo soy un hombre inocente Ay sí, yo soy Un hombre inocente. Sabes que sólo te haces daño por despecho Supongo que preferirías ser un mártir esta noche Esa es tu decisión Pero no soy inferior, a nadie que conozca Si existe la posibilidad de resucitar un amor No me es posible volver al comienzo Para descubrir dónde empezó el dolor. Algunas personas esperan por una cura milagrosa Algunas personas justo aceptan el mundo tal como es Pero yo no estoy dispuesto a rendirme y morir Porque yo soy un hombre inocente. Yo soy un hombre inocente. Ay sí, yo soy.
