簡單介紹一下比利·喬爾與哥倫比亞的第一張專輯是《Piano Man》,發表於1973年。盡管銷量一般,主打歌《Piano Man》卻成為了他的招牌歌曲,幾乎所有的演唱會結尾曲都用上了這首歌。1977年推出專輯《The Stranger》獲得巨大的商業成功,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(安東尼之歌)》、《Only the Good Die Young》和《She's Always a Woman》。這是比利的第一張排行榜十大專輯,它被認證有多白金的銷量,並達到排行榜第二位,成為哥倫比亞唱片最暢銷的專輯。
先生劇院開始休夏假六個星期,意味著二十四小時都要待在一起,為了彼此不變成刺蝟各自找自己的事情做,他計劃繼續舒伯特冬之旅聲樂套曲錄製,或許不久那首菩提樹可以上傳了

"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
菩提樹
作詞:繆勒詩
作曲:舒伯特
井旁邊大門前麵 有一顆菩堤樹
我曾在樹蔭底下 做過甜夢無數
我曾在樹皮上麵 刻過寵句無數
歡樂和痛苦時候 常常走近這樹
常常走近這樹
仿佛像今天一樣 我流浪到深更
我在黑暗中經過 什麽都看不清
依稀聽到那樹枝 對我簌簌作聲
朋友來到我這裏 你來找求安靜
你來找求安靜
冷風呼呼地吹來 正對著我的臉
頭上的帽被吹落 不忍轉身回看
遠離開了那地方 依舊念念不忘
我常聽見簌簌聲 你會找到安靜
你會找到安靜
