5.0 out of 5 stars Wowie May 23 2001
By Eugene Bourgeois
Format:Paperback
This is a simply inspiring piece of work. I don't know what problems Jay has with the lyrics - I could find none! But maybe he's reading from a different book. This is a great source of ideas, identifying some of the ways Lisa manages to write her varied songs. I think this is bound to be helpful to anyone who wants to try making the world sing. After reading this book, try listening to some of her music, and you'll see why you'll want to join her in making people sing.

5.0 out of 5 stars What this book is and what it is not. Feb 23 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is a series of excellant motivational exercises and ideas. Examples are given from some of the best songs of the 20th century (and earlier). It includes very useful information about song form, melody, harmony, rhythm, and lyrics; the necessary elements of all songs. This book does not contain the authors lyrics. It does not contain sheet music. It is not material that you patch together to "create your own songs". It is not about instruments or recording. I find this to be an extremely inspiring and entertaining book, it can open many ideas for anyone who is willing to explore them.

1.0 out of 5 stars this book is a total donkey. Dec 10 2000
By Jay
Format:Paperback
This book has very little to do with SONG writing: it contians tips on LYRIC writing... and the author's lyrics are some of the worst I've heard in a while. I feel bad being so negative but I want to save people from wasting money.
