How to Write One Song
Author: Jeff Tweedy
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593183533
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after reading Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? Because the difference between one song and many songs isn't a cute semantic trick—it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit. And then there is the energizing, nourishing creativity that can open up. How to Write One Song brings readers into the intimate process of writing one song—lyrics, music, and putting it all together—and accesses the deep sense of wonder that remains at the heart of this curious, yet incredibly fulfilling, artistic act. But it’s equally about the importance of making creativity part of your life every day, and of experiencing the hope, inspiration, and joy available to anyone who’s willing to get started.

Surprising Rhyming
Author: Brian Oliver
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781986114547
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
This 624-page book is a new kind of rhyming dictionary that encourages writers to be more adventurous in their approach to rhyming.Built on the findings of an in-depth study of the kind of ingenious rhymes used by some of the world's greatest songwriters and lyricists, SURPRISING RHYMING offers an astonishing array of thousands of alternative rhyme options. The rhyme types are much broader than those found in traditional rhyming dictionaries which tend to show only 'perfect' or 'true' rhymes.Using too many perfect rhymes can sometimes make a lyric or a poem sound tedious and predictable-and prone to clichés. To avoid this, SURPRISING RHYMING focuses instead on thousands of off-the-wall false-rhymes, half-rhymes, slant-rhymes and near-rhymes that are less predictable than exact rhymes-and therefore more likely to surprise an audience.The book also includes many new words that have been added to standard dictionaries in recent years.The many thousands of 'surprising' rhymes crammed into this book are based on a study of the unconventional 'imperfect' rhymes that have been used by influential songwriters and lyricists such as: Chuck Berry, David Bowie, Sara Bareilles, James Bay, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Sia Furler, Hozier, Jay-Z, Billy Joel, Carole King, Michael Kiwanuka, John Lennon, Lorde, John Mayer, Joni Mitchell, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Bonnie McKee, Randy Newman, Dolly Parton, Christina Perri, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Paul Simon, Stephen Sondheim, Taylor Swift, Cat Stevens, Bernie Taupin, James Taylor, Jimmy Webb, Lucinda Williams, Stevie Wonder ... and many more.Research for this book found that many of these writers felt they managed to achieve far greater flexibility in their word choices by inserting 'false' rhymes into their rhyming patterns instead of always using perfect rhymes. And many writers have discovered that breaking rhyming rules in this way can be very liberating.That's why SURPRISING RHYMING invites writers to challenge themselves and make their rhymes bolder and more original ... and less predictable!The book is laid out clearly to make it quick and easy to find the perfect word to achieve a memorable rhyme. There are separate sections for one-, two-, three- and four-syllable rhymes, along with many useful tips on rhyming.SURPRISING RHYMING is edited by Brian Oliver, the author of the five-star rated book, "HOW [NOT] TO WRITE A HIT SONG! 101 Common Mistakes to Avoid If You Want Songwriting Success" and also "HOW [NOT] TO WRITE GREAT LYRICS! 40 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Writing Lyrics for Your Songs".# # # #

Songs of Love and Horror: Collected Lyrics of Will Oldham
Author: Will Oldham
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393651215
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
The definitive collection of lyrics from three decades of songwriting. As a performer, songwriter, and actor, Will Oldham has carved a singular path through the worlds of indie folk and cinema. Now the critically acclaimed, enigmatic artist presents his life’s work: the lyrics to more than two hundred songs spanning the 1980s to the present, each with annotations that impart new meaning to his music. Oldham’s aphoristic meditations—on death, patience, and turning carelessness into a virtue—are, like his lyrics, profound, earthy, and often funny. They reveal flashes of Oldham’s philosophy, the sources and circumstances that inspired his lyrics, and the literary ambition of his songwriting. Separated from their aural form, Oldham’s lyrics become a new kind of poetry—candid, awkward, and wise—with influences as diverse as Rabindranath Tagore and The Mekons. A book that will delight his longtime fans and inspire young songwriters, Songs of Love and Horror reveals an artist who has captured extraordinary poetry in music despite being "a stranger among my own language."
