Hello, today I bring you this song by the beloved Billy Joel, called "Honesty". One of his most melancholic and hardest songs of his musical career. It is really heartbreaking to listen and understand what he transmits with the lyrics, where he talks about how difficult it is to find reliable people, how believing in the other is often a risk and that you can find more people willing to pretend, than someone really sincere and transparent. I think it applies not only to love relationships but also to family and friends. Life is definitely full of this kind of situations but I think the important thing is not to stop believing that we are more people willing to give everything and put our trust in the hands of someone else, knowing that with or without betrayal, we will remain the same. We have to take the risk.
Finally, thank you very much for stopping by, reading what I write, watching my video and being here. It is something I never stop thanking you for and well, I hope you enjoy the video and my interpretation. I know that we all at some point have been deceived and betrayed, it is easy to feel identified with this song, however as I say above that should not stop us from being noble people and perhaps learn to be more insightful. A giant hug. You are loved.
Hola. El día de hoy les traigo esta canción del querido Billy Joel, llamada "Honesty". Uno de sus temas más melancólicos y duros de su trayectoria musical. Es realmente desgarrador escuchar y entender lo que él transmite con la letra, donde habla sobre lo difícil que es encontrar personas confiables, como creer en el otro suele ser un riesgo y que se puede encontrar más personas dispuestas ha aparentar, que alguien de verdad sincero y transparente. Creo que aplica no solo a las relaciones amorosos sino también a familia y amigos. Definitivamente la vida está llena de este tipo de situaciones pero creo que lo importante es no dejar de creer en que somos más las personas dispuestas a darlo todo y poner nuestra confianza en manos de alguien más, sabiendo que con o sin traición, seguiremos siendo los mismos. Hay que correr el riesgo.
Finalmente muchas gracias por pasar por acá, leer un poco sobre lo que escribo, ver mi video y estar. Es algo que no dejo de agradecer y bueno, espero disfruten del vídeo y de mi interpretación. Sé que todos en algún momento hemos sido engañados y traicionados, es fácil sentirse identificados con esta canción, sin embargo como digo arriba eso no debe impedir que dejemos de ser personas nobles y quizás aprender a ser más perspicaz. Un abrazo gigante. Se les quiere.
Lyrics/Letra
If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
