Piano In The Dark

The song is obviously about grief. Maybe it's over a dead relationship, but maybe it's over a dead person, I'm not sure.

It's more dear if our singer has lost someone they loved and are caught up in grief, unable to move forward and impossible to move back.

I like to think she's sitting in the dark, grieving, and a song comes on that makes her cry. Most who grieve a death have been there.

Either way, it's a lovely song.

Sounds like she wants to break up with him but finds herself being drawn back to him.

To me this songs is about someone who is deeply in love with someone but it almost hurts them to watch them be alone. Its a very powerful song in my opinion.

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.
