HIVE OPEN MIC 129 / Honesty Cover

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


In support of this week's theme of "Trust," chosen by @ruthlopez, I've chosen the song Honesty, written and sung by American singer, pianist, and composer Billy Joel. This song was introduced to me by my father, who enjoys singing it during karaoke. The song's main concept appears to be straightforward. It is a song about how tough it is to find genuine relationships, where honesty is more difficult to find than love.

I believe that the foundation of trust in a relationship is honesty, and trust is required for a relationship to grow and prosper. Being consistently honest with someone builds trust in you, your words, and most importantly, the relationship you share.

By the way, I find this song devastating and sad, and I would never want to relate to it. I mean, who would? But if in case you are at the moment, then I am dedicating this song to you and Hope all will be well soonest. ✌️😅

Song: Honesty
By: Billy Joel
Lyrics Soiurce: here

Lyrics

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

Thank you loads for listening, reading and just being here fellow Hive Music lovers, most especially to @hiveopenmic!

You sang so lovely..
And really.. honesty is really scarce now.

That's really a bad thing, even friends can dissappoint..

We have only God to trust.
