Random Notes

"'Searching Through The Past' is about still being in love with someone who's gone. Wishing they would come back, but also still not sure if you can forget why it all went wrong," Jennifer Clavin says. "I was spending a lot of time in the desert listening to early Stones and Fleetwood Mac, and this just came out."

Song Stories

“Piano Man”

Billy Joel | 1973

Billy Joel’s first hit, “Piano Man,” was – ironically – an autobiographical lament about how his first album wasn’t a hit. When Cold Spring Harbor didn’t take off, Joel briefly became a lounge pianist in Los Angeles, and this song, about that experience, expressed his frustrations and fears at the time: “And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’” “It was all right,” Joel said later, about the gig. “I got free drinks and union scale, which was the first steady money I’d made in a long time.”
