Nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any When you get back on your feet again Everybody Wants to Be your Long Lost Friend I said ut's strange without any doubt Nobody knows you when you're down and out | | | ||| F#dim7| ||| Lord, Nobody knows you When you're down and out In your pocket, not one penny And as for friends, you don't have any When you get back on your feet again Everybody wants to be your long lost friend I said it's strange without any doubt Nobody knows you (nobody knows you) Nobody knows you (nobody knows you) Nobody knows you When you're down and out

À propos de la chanson

La chanson exprime la tristesse et la réalité amère de la solitude qui accompagne le déclin financier et social. Elle raconte l'histoire d'une personne qui, autrefois prospère et entourée d'amis, se retrouve brusquement isolée lorsque la fortune s'éteint. Ce contraste souligne la manière dont les gens peuvent facilement se détourner lorsqu'on n'a plus d'argent, révélant ainsi la véritable nature des relations humaines. Le contexte évoqué ici fait écho à de nombreuses expériences vécues, où les amis disparaissent face aux difficultés. Cela soulève une réflexion sur l'authenticité des liens que nous tissons et sur la loyauté de ceux qui nous entourent dans les moments de crise.
