so a central theme of the pitt, maybe even the main point, is that at the end of the day healthcare workers are just people and it's unfair and unrealistic to expect them to be perfect. so like it sure would be a shame if people acted like they're irredeemably evil when they aren't literally complete saints all of the time. god fucking forbid
Released in 1973, this cool and chill song is largely inspired by Billy Joel's personal experience as a bar pianist.
(Lyrics under the cut)
[Verse 1]
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Chorus]
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 2]
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
[Verse 3]
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
[Verse 4]
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
i cant tell you how excited my 12 year old self would have been ten years ago seeing not only a latina teenager on a netflix show but also a girl fronting a band in a traditionally all-boys genre
am i the only one that thinks robby saying "this job will fuck you up if you let it; you let it" is way worse than anything langdon said to him? not trying to dismiss or excuse anything that frank said/did but for robby to basically say that his substance use disorder is because of a personal/moral weakness is so unbelievably fucked up and i feel like no one talks about how cruel that was
