Honesty - Billy Joe (直觉感受真诚朴实的音乐)

喜欢某个音乐多半是一种直觉，当音符响起的那瞬间，它会很快地“直指人心”将有缘的听众俘获。不需要歌词，不需要解释，不需要介绍。

Billy Joe 的这首 Honesty 就是如此。 无论是歌词，旋律还是演唱，都是那么朴实无华，但却轻易地抓住了听众的心。这首歌有两个特别之处，一个是 Billy joe 多变的音色，抑扬顿挫，仿佛是两个人在演唱，二是这首歌曲的“法国味”。Youtube 上有这首歌曲的 Video, 看着 Billy 弹着钢琴演唱的样子，真有点 Elton John 做派，其实他长的蛮像年轻时候的史泰龙.

歌词：

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 as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because 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.
