The Stranger, by Billy Joel (pop song, 1977)
"Well we all have a face
That we hide away forever
And we take them out and show ourselves
When everyone has gone
Some are satin some are steel
Some are silk and some are leather
They're the faces of the stranger
But we love to try them on"
Blurb: Five minute song about the sides of ourselves we hide from others, and being surprised by a loved one's own "stranger." Like all the other songs listed here, easy enough to interpret in a singlet way as well.
Why is it worth your time?: It's good. Moody and noir-ish, with the air of a rainy city street. Also, it's so old, you can find it near anywhere.
