The piano is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. It is one of the most popular instruments in the world. Widely used in classical and jazz music for solo performances, ensemble use, chamber music and accompaniment, the piano is also very popular as an aid to composing and rehearsal. Although not portable and often expensive, the piano's versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.
Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a felt-covered hammer to strike steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that more efficiently couples the acoustic energy to the air. The sound would otherwise be no louder than that directly produced by the strings. When the key is released, a damper stops the string's vibration. See the article on Piano key frequencies for a picture of the piano keyboard and the location of middle-C. In the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification, pianos are considered chordophones.

Piano questi passi d'amore
Sulla strada del cuore
Che mi porta da te
Soffia il vento del tempo
Questa notte che va
Sempre qui ci trover
Piano senza fare rumore
Gira il mondo le ore
Quanta fretta che ha
Un ricordo domani
Questa notte sar
Sempre qui poi torner
Nasce il sole
Che cosi
Ci trover abbracciati
La sua mano
Sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino
Giorno mentre arrival l'inverno
Un fedele ritorno
La sua neve cadr
E la notte pi chiara
Questa sera sar
Quando il puio scender
Nasce il sole
Che cosi
Ci trover abbracciati
La sua mano
Sulla porta piano
Spalanca il cielo al mattino
Forte e lo voglio gridare
Questo amore pi forte
Questa notte sar
Quante volte
Nel letto si svegliato con me
Questo amore per te
They say to me
Open this door
The curios screams
Whatever could be behind it
behind that door
a piano stands
The keys are dusty
The strings are untuned
behind that door
she sits at the piano
But she plays no more
It is so long ago
there at the piano
I heard her
as she began to play
I held my breath
She said to me
I'll stay with you forever
But it just seemed
She played only for me
I poured her blood
In the fire of my rage
I locked the door
They asked for her
there at the piano
I heard her
as she began to play
I held my breath
there at the piano
I stand by her
it seemed
She played only for me
The door is opened
And how they scream
i hear the mother plea
Her father striked at me
They free her from the piano
No one there believe me
that I am deadly sick
from the suffering and stench
there at the piano
I heard her
as she began to play
I held my breath
there at the piano
she heard me
as she began to play
I held my breath
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit
To the games pays to blame
To the freedom, make it rain, make it sane
Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
To the lunches, to the punches
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
And they spoil it all
Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing
To the good, to the clean
And i'll be you're ugly
To the occasion, to the lie
Kiss beneath, bridge of size
Not some moaning, until they homing
Not some moaning, until they homing
To the noose, to the neck, to the boost, to the check
To the micic, to the psychic, to the circuit

Make it dance, not a chance, see her run
See her come, take her kindly
She is dark eyed, no soul, no soul
She is lifeline to the heartbeat
Can't feel the heartbeat
To the flowers, to the bunches,
Someone point me in the right direction
Tell me wheres the nearest piece of mind?
Im going crazy
Knight in shining armor in the distance
He sees the angel threatening my life
Why wont he save me?
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that Im struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
And all I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that genuinely cares
But Im just dreaming
Its like Im silently screaming
Even though Im totally surrounded
I feel like Im in here by myself
How about you do it cuz you love me?
Not cuz you want something in return
Is that so crazy?
Crazy
In the middle of the sea of helpless
But see, I never learned how to swim
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that Im struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
And all I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that genuinely cares
But Im just dreaming
Its like Im silently screaming
Somebody to catch me when I fall
Somebody to help me through it all
Someone I can trust
Tell me if Im asking too much
All I want is somebody to give a damn
Notice that Im struggling and lend a hand
They say
Everybody needs someone to understand
Well damnit that includes me too
All I want is someone to be there for me
Someone that I can genuinely trust
But Im just dreaming
Its like Im silently screaming
Even though Im totally surrounded
Silently screaming
I feel like Im in here by myself
Her life was more than mine
Like a proud shooting star into the night
She crashed through the airwaves and ripped like a knife
It was a bad disease
Her searching was over, over
Hold onto the light that guides you
Hold onto the air that cools you
Hold on, Hold on to me
Her mind sped fast through time
Her family stood by trying hard not to cry with patience
and virtue kept strong through the night, oh
She never fell to her knees
Her searching was over, over
Hold onto the light that guides you
Hold onto the air that cools you
Hold on, Hold on to me
Hold onto the light that guides you
Hold onto the air that cools you
Hold on, Hold on
And then my eyes stretched out
as I saw her hand slip away
Hold onto the light that guides you
Hold onto the air that cools you
Hold on, Hold on to me
Hold onto the light that guides you
Hold onto the air that cools you
Hold on, Hold on to me, to me, to me
Hold, hold on to me
Three times alone this week
I was suppose to be a rock star.
"I only beat you when I'm drunk,
You're only pretty when you're crying."
We are suppose to be the ones to set the air afire.
Three times alone this week
I was made into a liar.
Whether (or not) I found the gold
I never told.
Richer: I
brilliant white.
I.
I wear shoes that move men from desert to riches.
Show me what you've got
and scratch it because it itches.
Call me Chameleon
and extingish my fire.
Three times alone this week
I was suppose to be a liar.
Maybe not.
Why the stare?
Would I lie about that which I am scared?
What did I say to you?
Step into
a pot of gold,
rejoice in fire
that which soon burns gold.
What did I say to you?
I can't deny
The throat, the love, sincerity,
I can't deny it
"I've got to keep my P.M.A."
I could write a song with my new piano;
I could sing about how love is a losing battle...
Not hard... (it's not hard...) It's not hard... (It's not hard...)
It's not hard... (it's not hard...) It's not hard... (It's not hard...)
And I could sing about Cupid and a shooting arrow;
In the end, you find out that my heart was battered
Real hard... (Real hard...) It's so hard... (It's so hard...)
Real hard... (Real hard...) It's not hard... (It's not hard...)
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna dance - don't it make you wanna dance?
But I'd rather make a song they can play on the radio
That makes you wanna grab your lover's hand...
So hold up and take it through the night,
And you should follow through to make it alright...
Now grab each others' hands, get on up;
I want to see you rock to the piano, the piano...

Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Siempre que te escucho pienso en ella
Porque con tus notas me alimentas
Ooh, la esperanza de que vuelva
Piano fue a tu lado que bailamos
Y a tu lado nos enamoramos
Con tu magia hicimos el milagro
Ooh, pero en algo hemos fallado
Dimelo piano, dimelo piano
Tu musica me acerca mas a ella
Me hace recordar cosas tan bellas
Sigue sonando
Piano yo jamas he vuelto a verla
Ojala estuviera aquí a mi lado
Dime porque andamos separados
Ooh, porque fue que nos dejamos
Dimelo piano, dimelo piano
Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Dimelo tu
Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Dimelo tu
Dime porque andamos separados
Porque fue que nos dejamos
Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Dimelo tu
Yo jamas he vuelto a verla
Toca sin parar
Hasta que ella vuelva
Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Dimelo tu
Piano
Piano
¿Como? piano
Fenomenal
Piano
Dile si algun dia la encuentras
Que sigo pensando en ella
Piano que acompañas mi tristeza
Dimelo tu
Que podra calmar mis penas sin su amor
I'm feeling summer coming in and coming on again
Like waxing needles pushing through my tired frozen skin
If I go walking then I know you wanna let me in, please
Plastic bus stop, yeah, I thought I saw you waiting there
Or on the corner by the store trying to get somewhere
If you could take my worst words anywhere, it's now
I know you can see me (x 10)
Alright...
In my dirty basement you were so pristine
Standing up drinking out the side of the can
And I wanna take you home with me every single day
