Sometimes I hear a song that gets me thinking. Today, while at work, I heard Billy Joel's "Piano Man" on the radio. That song was written and performed six years before I was even born, but it speaks to me. I've heard this song many times before, and every time I hear it, it gets me thinking about life, about people, about relationships... It's one damn good song.
I'm sure most people are familiar with it, but if you're having trouble remembering, it's about a bunch of people at a bar on a Saturday who are listening to the piano man play. It's basically an escape from their less than perfect lives for a little while. And so I picture very cleary in my mind all these ordinary people just sitting around, nursing their drinks, talking to each other, and this seemingly ordinary thing just strikes me as so beautiful as well. Sometimes, I look around and just observe people and realize that we're all just that: simply people. We're far from perfect and have flaws and problems, but we keep going on living and sharing with friends our views and philosophies on life.
I think that beauty can be found in ordinary, imperfect things. It's our human existence.
