Sobre el álbum

El álbum "Cold Spring Harbor" de 1971 es el accidentado pero fascinante punto de partida en la discografía de Billy Joel. En este trabajo de debut, un joven Joel presenta una colección de canciones de cantautor introspectivas y con una gran influencia del pop barroco. El disco muestra a un artista de una sensibilidad y un talento melódico extraordinarios, aunque la producción original sufrió un famoso error de masterización que aceleraba su voz. De hecho, este fallo técnico marcó la primera edición del álbum.

Pese a todo, canciones como "She's Got a Way" o "Everybody Loves You Now" ya anticipaban el genio que estaba por llegar. Versiones posteriores del álbum corrigieron el error de velocidad, permitiendo apreciar las composiciones en su tono correcto. Por lo tanto, aunque es un debut imperfecto, "Cold Spring Harbor" es un documento esencial que captura los primeros y prometedores pasos de una futura leyenda del piano rock.

    You can make me free You can make me smile You can make me be Like a little child You can melt the ice that chills my body You can dry my every tear You make the lonely hours disappear You can make me free You can make me rise You can make me see So open up my eyes Don't you know my only real moments Are the ones I spend with you How I long to drink some wine again with you I can take to the skies I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song Won't you color my eyes I've been waiting so long You can make me free You can make me cry You can make it so much better If you would only try And if I must wait a lonely lifetime Until I am with you, my love I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of I can take to the skies I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song Won't you cover my eyes I've been waiting so long You can make me free You can make me cry You can make it so much better If you would only try And if I must wait a lonely lifetime Until I am with you, my love I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of I can take to the skies I can soar like a bird with his heart full of song Won't you cover my eyes I've been waiting so long You can make me free You can make me cry You can make it so much better If you would only try And if I must wait a lonely lifetime Until I am with you, my love I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of You can make me free You can make me cry You can make it so much better If you would only try
  3. Everybody Loves You Now2:40

    Letra

    Baby all the lights are turned on you Now you're in the center of the stage Everything revolves on what you do Ah, you are in your prime; you've come of age And you can always have your way somehow But everybody loves you now You can walk away from your mistakes You can turn your back on what you do Just a little smile is all it takes Yeah, you can have your cake and eat it too Loneliness will get to you somehow But everybody loves you now Ah, they all want your white body And they await your reply Ah, but between you and me and the Staten Island ferry So do I All the people want to know your name Soon there will be lines outside your door Feelings do not matter in your game Yeah, 'cause nothing's gonna touch you anymore So your life is only living anyhow And everybody loves you now Close your eyes when you don't want to see Stay at home when you don't want to go Only speak to those who will agree Yeah, and close your mind when you don't want to know You have lost your innocence somehow But everybody loves you now Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever And it's all been done before Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor No more See how all the people gather 'round Hey, isn't it a thrill to see them crawl? Keep your eyes ahead and don't look down Yeah, and lock yourself inside your sacred wall This is what you wanted; ain't you proud? Cause everybody loves you now
  4. Why Judy Why3:46
  5. Falling of the Rain2:24

    Letra

    Once upon a time in the land of misty satin dreams There stood a house and a man who painted nature's scenes He painted trees and fields and animals and streams and he stayed And he didn't hear the fallin' of the rain In the forest green lived a girl who put her hair in braids And she sang as she walked all around the wooded glade She was glad when the rain came falling on her face and she sang Cause she didn't mind the fallin' of the rain Will it always be the same as we recall? Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me High upon a hill far away from all the dusty crowd is a boy With his eyes on the ground; his head is bowed; he is a fool And his mind is filled with hopeless dreams and he waits But he will not see the fallin' of the rain Will it always be the same as we recall? Does it touch you when the rain begins to fall? Ah, but I don't want to know and I don't want to see Another rainy day without you lyin' next to me So now the boy becomes the man who sits and paints all day But the girl with the braids in her hair has gone away And it seems that time has brought things to an end; nothing's changed Cause you can't stop the fallin' of the rain.
  6. Turn Around3:20

    Letra

    Oh, sweet lady, runnin' like a stream You don't look back because you know your hands are clean You make believe the past was just a dream You make believe the past was just a dream Turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long Oh, Elisa, you must begin again And all the roads that you have walked are comin' to an end I was your lover but I thought I was your friend I loved you but I thought I was your friend Turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long Oh, sweet lady, stand beside the sea Maybe you will find a little time to think of me Won't you please remember what I tried so hard to be Yeah, remember what I tried so hard to be So turn around, turn around And I will sing for you a song And I don't know where you been But you've been gone too long
  7. You Look So Good to Me2:26

    Letra

    Ah, you look so good to me With my eyes open wide, I can see Ah, you feel so good to me And it's so good when you're here 'cause I'm free Feelin' the glory from that smile upon your face It's liftin' me high above my ordinary place And I am so happy when I'm in your warm embrace Ah, you look so good to me With my eyes open wide, I can see Ah, you feel so good to me And who knows what your next move will be? Ah, you look so good to me With my eyes open wide, I can see Ah, you feel so good to me And it's so good when you're here 'cause I'm free
  8. Tomorrow Is Today4:47

    Letra

    I've been livin' for the moment But I just can't have my way And I'm afraid to go to sleep Cause tomorrow is today People tell me life is sweeter But I don't hear what they say Nothing comes to change my life So tomorrow is today I don't care to know the hour Cause it's passing anyway I don't have to see tomorrow Cause I saw it yesterday So I listen for an answer But the feeling seems to stay And what's the use of always dreaming If tomorrow is today Still I'm waiting for the morning But it feels so far away And you don't need the love I'm giving So tomorrow is today Oh, my. Goin' to the river Gonna take a ride and the Lord will deliver me Made my bed, now I'm gonna lie in it If you don't come, I'm sure gonna die in it Too late. Too much given I've seen a lot of life and I'm damn sick of livin' it I keep hopin' that you will pass my way And some day if your dreams are leavin' you I'll still believe in you I don't care to know the hour Cause it's passing anyway I don't have to see tomorrow Cause I saw it yesterday Though I'm living and I'm singing And although my hands still play Soon enough it will all be over Cause tomorrow is today
  9. Nocturne2:37

    Letra

    Nocturne was released as an instrumental piece. However, there were lyrics Written for it. These are those lyrics. When it rains I watch the window Golden dreams Wash down the willow Where are my Mardi Gras memories? Under silver seas Long cold nights Change my reflection Unsung songs Show my direction Where are my make believe victories? Under silver seas Ships pass over my head Purple and blue, yellow and red White sails catching the breeze Sailing on silver seas Once I lived You might remember Born in May Died in September Where are my carousel fantasies? Under silver seas
  10. Got to Begin Again2:47

    Letra

    Well so here I am at the end of the road Where do I go from here? I always figured it would be like this Still nothing seems to be quite clear All the words have been spoken and the prophecy fulfilled But I just can't decide where to go Yes, it's been quite a day and I should go to sleep But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know That I've got to begin again Though I don't know how to start Yes, I've got to begin again And it's hard Well it's been quite a while since I lifted my head And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes I see the way that I been spendin' my days And reality has caught me by surprise I was dreamin' of tomorrow so I sacrificed today And it sure was a grand waste of time And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face I just can't get you out of my mind But I've got to begin again Though I don't know how to start Yes, I've got to begin again And it's hard
