Honesty ..
These days we are lack of HONESTY and plenty of EVIL CUNNINGNESS. I am very fedup with these EVIL CUNNINGNESS human beings. With this song, I wish all my dear friends would treasure the word Honesty and would work hard to uphold this word in their heart as human beings.
"Honesty" is a song by American singer and songwriter Billy Joel. Columbia Records released the song as the third single from his sixth studio album 52nd Street (1978) in 1979. "Honesty" was solely written by Joel, while production was handled by Phil Ramone.
The song was not included on any of Joel's US-released compilation
packages; however, it appears on the Dutch and Japanese editions of Greatest Hits Volume 2, replacing "Don't Ask Me Why" (1980). "Honesty" is a piano ballad that talks about the inherent lack of shame.
The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who
generally praised its lyrics and piano instrumentation. It also received
comparisons to other songs by Joel. "Honesty" peaked at number
twenty-four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the album's third consecutive top forty hit. It was certified gold by Recording Industry Association of Japan for ringtone download sales of over 100,000 units. Joel performed the song live several times with Elton John and later with Bryan Adams. "Honesty" has been covered and sampled by various artists, most notably by American R&B recording artist, Beyoncé Knowles.

Honesty (Cover Version of Billy Joey)
From: Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia.
"Honesty" was solely written by Billy Joel while production was handled by Phil Ramone.[1] It is the second song from his sixth studio album 52nd Street (1978).[1] The song was also included on South Korean and Japanese edition of Joel's 1985 compilation Greatest Hits Volume 2 as one of the bonus tracks.[2]
The song wasn't included on any of Joel's US released compilation
packages; however, it appears on the Dutch edition as well as the
aforementioned Japanese edition of Greatest Hits Volume 2, instead of "Don't Ask Me Why" (1980).[2] David Spinozza plays the acoustic guitar in the song, Liberty DeVitto plays the drums and Robert Freedman the horn and string orchestration.[1]
"Honesty" is a piano ballad with synthesizer embellishments.[3] It opens with "sad and tender" piano chords.[3] According to Ken Bielen in his book The Words and Music of Billy Joel, Liberty DeVitto's drums and cymbal crashes, remind listeners that "the track is a predecessor of the power ballads of the 1980s and 1990s".[3]
It talks about the inherent lack of honesty even in the closest of
relationships. In the song Joel sings the lines "Honesty is such a
lonely word".[4][5] Joel further sings about wearing his heart on his sleeve in "Honesty".[6] According to Chuck Klosterman of The New York Times, "[the song] implies that the only way you can tell that someone really cares about you is if they tell you you're bad."[7] "Leningrad" (1989), a song from Joel's eleventh studio album Storm Front, has been compared to "Honesty".[8] According to the sheet music published on the website Musicnotes.com by Faber Music, "Honesty" is a pop rock and classical rock song written in the key of B♭ major.[9] The song is set in common time and performed in a slow tempo of 80 beats per minute.[9] Joel's vocals range from the note of Bb2 to Bb4.[9]
Lyrics
If you search for tenderness
it isn't hard to find.
You can have the love you need to live.
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind.
It always seems to be so hard to give.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
I can find a lover.
I can find a friend.
I can have security until the bitter end.
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again.
I know, I know.
When I'm deep inside of me
don't be too concerned.
I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.
But when I want sincerity
tell me where else can I turn.
Because you're the one I depend upon.
Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.
