2.0étoiles sur 5 Should Have Been Called "The LYRICISTS Idea Book", Mai 14 2009
I have not been inspired by this book and I agree with the above review by ted r. I bought it based on positive reviews for the author's other books, but I feel I was misguided by the the title --- it deals primarily with lyric writing and music is just a secondary thought (i.e. some lyric approaches lend themselves better to ballads, or country songs, or show tunes... and some lyrics are more effective if the song has a specific musical form, like starting with the chorus or using AABA instead of something else)... but this is always a lyric first approach to writing songs.

This book makes me feel like I'm taking a college course, and each chapter is giving me an assignment... however, I don't find myself inspired to write most of these. Davis does teach courses and often uses lyric examples from her students. I'm not saying I could do better, but to me there were only a few lyrics I would want to have in my pop/rock songs... the rest are too dated or shmaltzy. They obviously have worked for others but are definitely not mainstream.

I was looking for an easy to read book loaded with instant inspiration. Davis' approach is very academic, and I believe she really knows what she's talking about, but this stuff (i.e the theory behind things good writer's do naturally) takes time to absorb/master. Let's face it, most writers have some natural ability and in the end stick with their gut feeling about what sounds good. Knowing what it's called doesn't help me work faster to be more inspired. Davis' "40 strategies" are really just 40 typical lyric types/topics/themes, most of which you could figure out for yourself.

Overall, no one is ever hurt by such knowledge and in the long run mastering such skills can only help and not hinder one's overall control of their art. Plus, the book is not expensive and I'm sure everyone could get something from it. Speaking for myself, most of it was a waste of time.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good for the money, Mars 20 2004
Par Dave C "davecorun" (Baltimore, MD USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I hear this book is some kind of industry standard book for other musicians, and I enjoyed it.

Like the other reviews said though, the 40 strategies are really 40 different types of songs you could write.

i.e. "the childrens song" "breaking up" "the christmas song"

The first couple of chapters describe what she calls "whole brain writing", and is actually very clever.

This book helped me immensly, I just knocked a star off b/c of the bad title and I think it's too short.

For the money though, you absolutely cannot go wrong!

5.0étoiles sur 5 The cure for writer's block, Sep 30 2003
Par krebsman (New York, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Ever had writer's block? This book is the cure! Along with Davis' THE CRAFT OF LYRIC WRITING and SUCCESSFUL LYRIC WRITING, THE SONGWRITERS IDEA BOOK forms a brilliant trilogy that is essential for the person who wants to write lyrics. I'm rather surprised by reading some of the negative comments below. My guess is that those people merely leafed through the book without actually reading it. This book is NOT an easy read. It is not something that can be scanned. It must be read and studied very carefully. It is very important to understand part 2 of the book (pages 15 through 34) before moving ahead. This is the section wherein Davis analyzes the different types of the creative mind. In only a few short pages Davis introduces a lot of important concepts that need to be understood. The reader must take her tests and figure out which type he is. Then and only then is the book of value. I had to read part two several times before I really understood it. But once I had a firm grasp of those ideas, I found the book to be extremely valuable. Davis basically says that when one is blocked, that he needs to come at it from the other side of the brain. She then proceeds to give exercises that make it easy to access the unused part of the brain. While ostensibly for the lyricist, I think the principles can be adapted for any kind of writing. I think this is a great book and I am grateful to Sheila Davis for writing it.
