The Pianoman At Christmas

Jamie Cullum

Transposer:

[Intro] / / [Verse 1] Sitting down there at the old folks home crooning "White Christmas" I got three hundred songs about Santa Claus under my fingers Then down to the Crown hotel Play ’till our heads hurt like hell I’m asking myself Who am I supposed to be? [Chorus] But there’s always somewhere to go You’re never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe I thought I could be your man But I’m just the pianoman At Christmas [Verse 2] There’s always a new place to go to just no one to go with But when I strike up with old Nat King Cole I’m the hero till morning While they rock around the tree I can’t shake I feel so empty I’m asking myself So who am I supposed to be? [Chorus] But there’s always somewhere to go You’re never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe I thought I could be your man But I’m just the pianoman [Bridge] Well I’ve always been a loner with some songs in my back pocket And a million bar room uprights couldn’t bring me any solace Will someone come and tell me Who am I supposed to be? I’m just tryin’ to find my way through Don’t care about a saviour just wanna hold on to you I thought I could be your man But I’m just the pianoman [Chorus] Yeah there’s always somewhere to go You’re never gonna be lonely under the mistletoe I thought I could be your man But I’m always pianoman At Christmas [Outro] /

La chanson évoque la mélancolie d'un pianiste qui se produit durant les fêtes de Noël, jouant des classiques et des chansons de Noël tout en se sentant un peu perdu. Malgré l’ambiance festive autour de lui, il se retrouve seul, se demandant quelle place il a dans tout cela. Ses pensées oscillent entre le désir d'être plus qu'un simple musicien et la réalité de son existence de soliste dans un monde où tout le monde semble se rassembler. Le contexte, c'est celui des célébrations de Noël, moment par excellence de rassemblement et de partage, où l’on attend chaleur et compagnie. Pourtant, le protagoniste ressent un vide, soulignant ce paradoxe entre la fête et la solitude. Cela rappelle combien les fêtes, bien que joyeuses, peuvent aussi exacerber des sentiments de désespoir pour ceux qui se sentent isolés.
