 | | When they first brought him to a piano, he reportedly played music from various genres (ranging from classical music by Tchaikovsky to pop by The Beatles) non-stop for four hours, and then was taken away by the hospital staff. | | | The Piano Man is the media nickname for a man found in England in April 2005, who remained unidentified for a long time due to his refusal to speak, communicating instead through drawing and playing the piano. | | | Italian television stations showed footage of a concert pianist with a resemblance to the Piano Man — the pictures were filmed at an instrument fair in Rimini five years earlier. |

| | As he talks, my mind floats back to the oblique lyrical content of "More You Becomes You." The album is a remarkable song cycle featuring solo Liam on bare-bones piano and vocals. | | | He first croons wordlessly as the song's melody hangs half-suspended over his slow, insistent piano chords. | | | Plush's disc contains a vague, unified theme of one man's difficulty connecting with the world and believing in love and the pleasures of bursting into bloom. |
