Geometría

Fotografía realizada en el año 2007, en verano, en un inmueble de la ciudad de Huesca

Geometría, es la foto de una escalera, tomada desde el piso superior hasta el piso inferior, me gustó el pasamanos y las formas geométricas que hacía.

Si sigues cumpliendo años, acabarás muriéndote. Besos, Groucho.

Os dejo con Billy Joel, uno de los grandes cantautores de todos los tiempos, ganador de 6 Grammys en su carrera Es un cantante, compositor y pianista estadounidense.

El personaje principal de la canción es un pianista de un desolado bar que nos describe las vivencias de un camarero de nombre John, la camarera, un anciano y los clientes frecuentes del bar que son Paul (un novelista "solterón") y Davy (que es marinero). Lo central de la historia es que todos estos personajes tienen en común sus sueños no realizados y el pianista les ayuda a que se olviden de la vida por un rato con sus canciones para que pasen un momento grato.

La parte del coro viene inspirada en esas típicas canciones de bar, donde todos los clientes con sus cervezas y Gin Tonics empiezan a entonar unas palabras para el pianista: 

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.

En castellano Ana Belén tien una fantástica versión de la canción.

Billy Joel -  Piano Man

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes."

la la la, di da da
La la, di di da da dum

Chorus:
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 all feelin' all right

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He 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 star
If I could get out of this place"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone

Chorus
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 got us all feeling alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about their life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Chorus:
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 got us all feeling alright
