Book excerpt: Put your headphones on, close your eyes. Embrace the possibility of the life-changing power of music. And perhaps one of these songs will change your life too. Music can inspire our greatest creations, salve our deepest wounds, make us fall in – or out of – love. It can also be a window into another’s soul. Based on the popular live storytelling series, OneTrackMinds is a collection of twenty-five compelling answers to the question, ‘What was the song that changed your life?’ Featuring pieces from a stellar cast of contributors including Peter Tatchell, Inua Ellams, Cash Carraway, Rhik Samadder, Ingrid Oliver and Joe Dunthorne, alongside some of the UK’s most exciting new voices, the book compiles many of the standout stories from the live show so far. Just as rich and varied are the songs themselves, by artists ranging from Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell to Aphex Twin and the Replacements via Tupac, Prince and the Spice Girls. The result is an entertaining, enlightening musical guide to the best of what makes us human.

Adair Fitz-Gerald is an encyclopedia of song and lyric history and lore for music from all over the world. In an attempt to "produce an entertaining, amusing, and instructive work that shall appeal to the hearts and sympathies of all true lovers of songs with music," Fitz-Gerald presents a book full of useful and interesting information for musicians, historians, and individuals intrigued by the stories behind popular music. Each story, without exception, is interesting, surprising, and tells a completely unique tale of the inspiration, process, and journey of some of our most beloved songs. Fitz-Gerald researched all of the songs in this text at great length, and put years of work into the writing of this book. "This work is the practical proof of some fifteen years' agreeable labour in the fields of lyric literature and song lore.," he notes. Very thorough in his research, Fitz-Gerald goes on to explain, "These histories, as far as possible accurate, of all the world's most famous and popular songs and ballads, have been gathered from all sorts of available sources, books, magazines, and newspapers, and living representatives and friends of deceased writers." The book includes songs from all over the globe including songs from America, such as "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Yankee Doodle"; Germany, such as "Die Waht Am Rhein and "Die Schwertlied"; and France, such as "Les Constantes Amours D'Alix Et D'Alexis" and "La Marseillaise." This book also contains several illustrations and anecdotale accounts to further the exploration of the songs and the lore behind them. Clearly a labor of passion and love, Stories of Famous Songs is a wonderful examination of famous music pieces and their lyrics. With detailed histories and stories of the writers, composers, and performers, this text reads like a turn-of-the-century "behind the scenes" look at some of time's most beloved tunes. This is an excellent read for the music lover and historian alike, sure to incite passion and curiosity in any reader.

Download or read book Life of a Song written by Jan Dalley and published by Nicholas Brealey. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who knew that Paul McCartney originally referred to Yesterday as 'Scrambled Eggs' because he couldn't think of any lyrics for his heart-breaking tune? Or that Patti LaBelle didn't know what 'Voulez-vous couches avec moi ce soir?' actually meant? These and countless other fascinating back stories of some of our best-known and best-loved songs fill this book, a collection of the highly successful weekly The Life of a Song columns that appear in the FT Weekend every Saturday. Each 600-word piece gives a mini-biography of a single song, from its earliest form (often a spiritual, or a jazz number), through the various covers and changes, often morphing from one genre to another, always focusing on the 'biography' of the song itself while including the many famous artists who have performed or recorded it. The selection covers a wide spectrum of the songs we all know and love - rock, pop, folk, jazz and more. Each piece is pithy, sparkily written, knowledgeable, entertaining, full of anecdotes and surprises. They combine deep musical knowledge with the vivid background of the performers and musicians, and of course the often intriguing social and political background against which the songs were created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Famous Songs In dealing with the Irish and the Scottish sections I have striven to be just to each. When selected portions of the Stories were appearing in Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, I was assailed quite violently by certain Scottish gentlemen, who were highly indignant with me for various statements I made as to who wrote and who did not write particular songs that had generally been accepted as having been born in Scotland. But nobody has yet proved that abuse is either argument or logic, and as I have found no reason to alter the views I originally expressed, they remain exactly as I first wrote them down, except in one or two instances where I have been enabled to strengthen my convictions.
