Honesty - Billy Joel (Piano cover by Emily Linge)

“Honesty” by Billy Joel - Piano cover by Emily Linge.

Special thanks to @OvidioDeFerrari for helping me learn the piano arrangement.
Thanks also to @elvisgaragic9104 from @SoundStruckStudios Dubai for the mix/mastering.

Lyrics:

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 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

A very beautiful rendition of Billy Joel's great song. Well done Emily!

Thank you, Emily, a pleasure to listen to.

Oh Emily, your performance on “Honesty” is honestly such perfection: Sincere vocals flowing smoothly throughout, piano skills accompanying yourself, elegant stage dress/shoes/hairstyle/makeup. The Piano Man (American music icon Billy Joel) has an upcoming new successor, our “Piano Woman” Emily Linge. How can I live my normal life when your team is posting new videos on Fridays, then Wednesdays, then a special Q&A on a Tuesday, then Monday and now Saturday? I remain on constant vigil and alert to receive and praise! But I love it! Your fan, Allen.

I was on the road so… I just got this!!! Oh my what a great rendition. You make everything you do, yours…
“Such a lonely word” but without it… you have little to nothing.
I think honestly, love, and trust are all, quite synonymous.

Very good!!!
✨👍🎤🎹👍✨

[josephadambery]

my favourite underrated song from Billy throws me back many years hearing this in my car and also singing it in my band at a local Holiday Inn is sunny Gibraltar...this is a tricky song to do with all those changes and you glide through them effortlessly and beautifully

[charity]

If I were Billy Joel, I would insist on inviting Emily to sing and perform alongside me for a tour. He must be so proud! Emily you always deliver the same emphasis the artist did when performing. Your parents (or whoever introduced and encouraged your musical conquests) should be commended. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!

[elvandylis]
