| Brenda Russell – Piano In The Dark Lyrics | 6 years ago |

When I first heard this song, my first thought was that I recognised it from the Flo Rida song ‘I cry’. Quickly realised that this sampled song has way more to it... personally think it’s an amazing piece of work. It’s quite simplistic in the way she sings of the way a man (her love at one time) keeps drawing her back by playing piano. I guess you can look more into this. The piano can be a metaphor for a lot more. Doesn’t really matter what it’s actually a metaphor for.... I think she’s just singing about how she’s torn between leaving someone she once loved, and how there’s always that one small but profound thing he does or says, that draws her back again. In a way it’s quite a simple concept, but the way she tells the story, sets a scene and makes the whole situation so heartbreaking has you relating to how difficult this decision was to her and how we’re all easily torn between leaving someone we love... or the idea of them/hope we hold on to. |
