No hace decir mucho de Billy Joel, uno de los mas grandes cantautores de todos los tiempos. Ha vendido mas de 100 millones de copias en todo el mundo y sus canciones son inmortales.
Un trovador rockero nacido en Long Island, en Nueva York, Estados Unidos en 1949 que sabe contar una historia con su letra y música acompañada por un sutil piano.
Una de las canciones que han quedado en la inmortalidad es “Rivers of Dreams”, del álbum del mismo nombre, contada en 1993. Muchas veces se le da el nombre de “In the middle of the night”.
La letra de la canción:
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it’s too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I’ve been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I’ve been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don’t know why I go walking at night
But now I’m tired and I don’t want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn’t take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I’ve been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I’m searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I’ve never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We’re all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
