Honesty - Billy Joel (Cover) by @yisusth
A warm greeting to this beautiful #Music community. I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of "Honesty," a ballad composed by Billy Joel. There is something I love about his songs: the piano melody lines; they are truly magical. The lyrics are wonderful and speak about the need to search for the truth, daring to do the right thing even when we are alone, and finding someone who loves us honestly and sincerely. The melody came before the lyrics and was likely influenced by the Watergate scandal and the distrust it generated in public opinion, institutions, and political leaders. The melody is beautiful, with a gradual intensity, but where its simplicity stands out. The harmony is sophisticated with a jazzy touch; in my case, I play it in the key of D major, although it is certainly originally in Bb major. The rhythm is moderate, with a 4/4 time signature.

Un cordial saludo para esta bella comunidad de #Music. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «Honesty», una balada compuesta por Billy Joel. Hay algo que me encanta de sus canciones: las líneas melódicas del piano, son realmente mágicas. La letra es maravillosa y habla sobre la necesidad de buscar la verdad, el atrevernos a hacer lo correcto aun cuando estamos solos y el encontrar a alguien que nos ame con honestidad y sinceridad. La melodía surgió primero que la letra y es probable que haya sido influenciada por el escándalo de Watergate y la desconfianza que generó en la opinión pública, las instituciones y los líderes políticos. La melodía es hermosa, con una intensidad gradual, pero donde destaca su simplicidad. La armonía es sofisticada con un toque jazzístico, en mi caso la interpreto en la tonalidad de D Mayor, aunque es seguro que se encuentre originalmente en Bb Mayor. El Ritmo es moderado con una cifra indicadora de compás de 4/4.
We live in a complex, unequal, and degenerate world. Honesty is a real, tangible principle that never loses its validity, even though many don't practice it. Honesty is synonymous with trust. Often, we go out with an altered level of caution and distrust. However, not in all contexts are we so alert. How nice it is when we arrive at a place, a job, a business, or perhaps establish a friendship, and we are trustworthy. In the music world, everything is nice as long as money isn't discussed. So, if you find a producer, a coworker, or someone in the industry who is honest, we should appreciate and value them. An honest person is someone who, despite not having cameras to see them, does the right thing. This includes being honest with themselves. May you enjoy this performance with honesty. Blessings.

Vivimos en un mundo complejo, desigual y degenerado. La honestidad es un principio real, tangible y que no pierde su vigencia a pesar de que muchos no lo practiquen. La honestidad es sinónimo de confianza. Muchas veces uno sale a la calle con un nivel de prudencia alterado y de desconfianza. Sin embargo, no en todos los contextos uno anda tan alerta. Qué bonito es cuando uno llega a un lugar, un trabajo, un negocio o quizás entablas una relación de amistad y eres digno de confianza. En el mundo de la música todo es bonito mientras no se hable de dinero. Así que, si uno encuentra un productor, un compañero de trabajo, o alguien del medio que sea honesto, hay que apreciarlo y valorarlo. Alguien honesto es aquel que, a pesar de no tener cámaras que lo vean, hace lo correcto. Esto incluye ser honesto consigo mismo. Que disfruten con honestidad de esta interpretación. Bendiciones
Honesty
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, 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 that 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
