LETRA
Keeping The Faith
If it seems like I've been lost
In let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older
And missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known
Me much better
Cause my past is something that never
Got in my way
Oh no
Still I would not be here now
If I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say
The wild boys were my friends
Oh
Cause I never felt the desire
'Til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That's why I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades
Oh yeah
I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice after shave
Oh
Combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore
A permanent wave
Yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
You can get just so much
From a good thing
You can linger too long
In your dreams
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies
Cause the good ole days weren't
Always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights
But it taught me how to lose O.K.
Oh
I heard about sex
But not enough
I found you could dance
And still look tough anyway
Oh yes I did
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food
Drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl
When I made it with a red-haired girl
In the Chevrolet
Oh yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
You know the good ole days weren't
Always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Now I told you my reasons
For the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have
An ice cold beer in the shade
Oh
I'm going to listen to my 45's
Ain't it wonderful to be alive
When the rock 'n' roll plays
Yeah
When the memory stays
Yeah
I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
I'm keeping the faith
Yes I am
Significado de la letra
'Keeping The Faith' de Billy Joel es una canción que celebra la nostalgia de los días pasados con un toque de optimismo y gratitud por las experiencias vividas. Joel reflexiona sobre su juventud, recordando la influencia de la música y la moda en su vida. Describe cómo experimentó la vida a través de los ojos de los 'chicos salvajes', encontrando amistad y pasión a través de la música que lo encendió.
Detalla con nostalgia la moda de la época, desde las botas de matador hasta los calcetines iridiscentes, mostrando cómo su estilo personal reflejaba su actitud audaz y su conexión con la cultura de los años pasados. Joel reconoce las lecciones aprendidas de sus experiencias, como jugar stickball y lidiar con peleas, lo que le enseñó valiosas lecciones sobre perder y mantenerse firme.
A pesar de reconocer que los 'buenos tiempos antiguos' no siempre fueron perfectos, Joel abraza el presente con gratitud y optimismo. Mientras disfruta de una cerveza fría al sol y escucha sus viejos discos de vinilo, celebra la vida y las memorias perdurables que ha creado. La canción es un recordatorio de la importancia de valorar el pasado, vivir en el presente y mantener la fe en uno mismo y en las experiencias que han dado forma a nuestro ser.
