ReplyDeleteThe story talks about a man called Bill who plays the piano for other people in a bar. While he plays the piano, the people who is listening to him forget their problems at least for a moment. They really enjoy listening to him playing the piano.
1- Can you describe the place?
It’s a nostalgic but relaxing place at the same time. People feel happy in this bar when they are sharing memories, drinks and conversations. In this bar, there is a piano man. Who likes to give people the best moments by playing beautiful songs.
2- How many people are there ?
There are a lot of people, but Bill mentions 7 people.
3- Write a brief description of the following characters: Bill, John, the old man, David, Paul, the waitress, the businessmen.
Bill is tall, with black hair and blue eyes. He is the one who plays the piano.
John is a Bill’s friend. He gets Bill his drinks for free. He doesn’t like his job and he would like to be a movie star if he could leave the bar.
The old man is sitting next to Bill, he wants him to play a song he used to remembering when he was young.
David is still in the Navy, Bill thinks he would be there for life because he loves his job. In the video, David is talking to Paul.
Paul is a real estate novelist. But unfortunately he never had time to get married.
The waitress while she is giving people their drinks, she likes to talk about politics.
The businessmen have memories, dreams and jobs that some of them enjoy and some of them don’t. But what all of them have in common, is that they like Bill’s music. It makes them happy.
4- If you could change something in the video what would you change?
I wouldn’t change anything, honestly I liked this video very much.
5- Are there any songs related to bars,cafés in Spanish? Are they similar to “Piano Man”?
If I’m honest, I don’t know any song similar to this one. But I’m sure there songs as beautiful as this one out there.
6- Listen to this song in Spanish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSSZPgpV3xk
Do you prefer the English version or the Spanish version? Why?
I prefer the English version for sure, because I think that in Spanish the song loses its magic.

"Piano Man" is a song that tells the story of a pianist who plays in a bar on Saturday nights. Through his eyes, we get to know various characters who frequent the place, each with their own stories and unfulfilled dreams. The song captures the melancholy and hope of these people as they seek comfort in music and each other's company.
1- Can you describe the place?
The main setting is a busy bar on a Saturday night. There is a regular crowd that slowly comes in, and a pianist playing to entertain the customers. The atmosphere is intimate and reflects the intertwined lives of those present.
2- How many people are there ?
The song mentions several specific characters: an old man, John the bartender, Paul the real estate novelist, David who is in the navy, the waitress, and the businessmen. Additionally, there is a general crowd of regular customers.
3- Write a brief description of the following characters: Bill, John, the old man, David, Paul, the waitress, the businessmen.
Bill: He is the "Piano Man," the pianist who plays in the bar and narrates the customers' stories.
John: He is the bartender and a friend of the pianist. Although he serves drinks and tells jokes, he longs for a different life, possibly as a movie star.
The old man: He sits next to the pianist, reminiscing about songs from the past while enjoying his gin and tonic.
David: He is in the navy and will probably be there for life. He talks with Paul about their circumstances.
Paul: He is a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife. He talks with David about their lives.
The waitress: Although not much is revealed about her story, it is mentioned that she is "practicing politics," suggesting that she engages in conversations and interactions with the customers.
The businessmen: They slowly get drunk and share a drink they call loneliness, indicating their desire to escape from their daily routines.
4- If you could change something in the video what would you change?
This is a subjective question. Personally, I would consider adding more scenes that show the interactions between the characters to further explore their stories and emotions.
5- Are there any songs related to bars,cafés in Spanish? Are they similar to “Piano Man”?
Yes, there are Spanish songs that talk about life in bars or cafés. For example:
* "El Bar de los Suspiros" by Joaquín Sabina: It tells the stories of characters who frequent a bar, similar to the theme of "Piano Man."
* "La Bohemia" by Charles Aznavour (Spanish version): It talks about artists and dreamers in Parisian cafés.
These songs share the theme of portraying life and the stories of people in places like bars or cafés, just like "Piano Man."
