简单介绍一下比利·乔尔与哥伦比亚的第一张专辑是《Piano Man》,发表于1973年。尽管销量一般,主打歌《Piano Man》却成为了他的招牌歌曲,几乎所有的演唱会结尾曲都用上了这首歌。1977年推出专辑《The Stranger》获得巨大的商业成功,其中有四首歌曲打上“告示牌排行榜”前25位,包括:《Just the Way You Are》、《Movin' Out(安东尼之歌)》、《Only the Good Die Young》和《She's Always a Woman》。这是比利的第一张排行榜十大专辑,它被认证有多白金的销量,并达到排行榜第二位,成为哥伦比亚唱片最畅销的专辑。
先生剧院开始休夏假六个星期,意味着二十四小时都要待在一起,为了彼此不变成刺猬各自找自己的事情做,他计划继续舒伯特冬之旅声乐套曲录制,或许不久那首菩提树可以上传了

"Just The Way You Are"
--Frank.oliver cover
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
菩提树
作词:缪勒诗
作曲:舒伯特
井旁边大门前面 有一颗菩堤树
我曾在树荫底下 做过甜梦无数
我曾在树皮上面 刻过宠句无数
欢乐和痛苦时候 常常走近这树
常常走近这树
仿佛像今天一样 我流浪到深更
我在黑暗中经过 什么都看不清
依稀听到那树枝 对我簌簌作声
朋友来到我这里 你来找求安静
你来找求安静
冷风呼呼地吹来 正对着我的脸
头上的帽被吹落 不忍转身回看
远离开了那地方 依旧念念不忘
我常听见簌簌声 你会找到安静
你会找到安静
