Broadway Hotel

Al Stewart

Transposer:

You told the man in the Broadway Hotel Nothing was stranger than being yourself And he replied with a tear in his eye Love was a rollaway Just a cajole away Mist on a summer’s day Nothing was clear Love was a smile away Just a defile away I sought it every way No-one came near. You asked the man for a room with a view Nothing was said as he stared at his shoe Then he replied as he gave you the key Love was a rollaway Just an unfold away That’s all there is to say No-one came near. Alone in your room you hide as the night rolls by In the street outside And you feel over the words he said Till they turn to rain all around your head. class="slbllgninstrumentale"> You’re seeking a hideaway Where the light of day Doesn’t touch your face And a door-sign keeps the world away Behind the shades Of your silent day. You made your home in the Broadway Hotel Room service came at the push of a bell And the man said as he put down the tray Love was a stealaway Just a reveal away I tried to find a way Nothing was clear Then as he turned away You asked the man to stay He was there all the day No-one came near.

La chanson évoque la quête de l'amour et le sentiment de solitude dans un cadre qui semble à la fois intime et troublant. Dans la chambre d'un hôtel, le protagoniste partage des réflexions avec un homme qui semble comprendre la profondeur de son désespoir. L'idée que l'amour est à portée de main, mais également insaisissable, se dégage des échanges, chacun cherchant à se rapprocher de ce qu’il désire sans jamais vraiment y parvenir. Le cadre du Broadway Hotel renforce ce sentiment d'isolement, un lieu où l'on peut se cacher derrière des murs, en évitant le monde extérieur. Tandis que les mots et les promesses flottent dans l'air, le protagoniste se retrouve confronté à sa solitude, rêvant d'une connexion qui semble toujours distante. La chanson capture cette dualité entre le désir d'amour et la difficulté de l'atteindre, rendant l'atmosphère à la fois mélancolique et poignante.
