Piano in the Dark è un singolo della cantante statunitense Brenda Russell, pubblicato nel 1988 come primo estratto dall'album dell'artista Get Here.

Descrizione

Autori del brano, sia per quanto riguarda la melodia che per ciò che concerne il testo, sono la stessa Brenda Russell, Jeff Hull e Scott Cutler.[1][2][3]

Inizialmente come brano d'apertura del disco Get Here si era pensato a Gravity, ma uno dei musicisti del brano, il trombettista Herb Alpert, consigliò alla cantante di pubblicare invece come primo singolo Piano in the Dark, che secondo il musicista rappresentava al meglio l'artista.[4]

Testo

«I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark»

Per quando riguarda il testo, in esso una donna ripensa con nostalgia al suo amore perduto, che le sembra ancora di sentire mentre suona il pianoforte.

Video musicale

Piano in the Dark possiede due versioni di uno stesso video musicale.

La prima versione, girata in bianco e nero, mostra la cantante assorta e depressa nel suo appartamento mentre ha in mano delle carte e intanto pensa al suo amante, un uomo biondo con i capelli lunghi che suona il pianoforte nel buio ("piano in the dark", appunto).[5][6]

La seconda versione, diretta da Greg Gold, è invece a colori: in essa una sorridente ed energica Brenda viene mostrata mentre si esibisce con la sua band e Joe Esposito in un night club con luci soffuse e le persone che ascoltano incantate, mentre fuori tempesta un forte temporale.[7]

Riconoscimenti

La canzone fruttò alla Russell due nomination ai Grammy Awards 1989, inclusa quella per la canzone dell'anno.
