| Publisher Description: These songbook lyrics were written over a period of about ten years between around 2008 and 2018. As a music lover with an eclectic taste in musical genres (but not extending to rap, garage and other more 'modern' versions of the pop genre) these lyrics have been inspired by many of the artists I have enjoyed listening to over several decades. These have included Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, the Mavericks, Neil Diamond, Richard Hawley, the Eagles, Don Mclean, Leonard Cohen, the Beach Boys, David Gray, Billy Joel and representing the blues genre, John Lee Hooker. Each of the song lyrics has an appended 'melody hint' which provide a clue to the musical arrangements suggested for each of the songs.Six of the songs in this volume have been recorded by Steve Corrigan in 2012 on the album 'Bahraini Sunsets', singing, playing and producing the tracks according to his magical interpretation of them. The fifty sets of lyrics here are full of emotion and chart life's ups and downs with a sincerity guaranteed to move the reader and singer of them. If you just like lyrics as poems, as enshrined in the works of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon, then these hold up well and are full of depth and poetic imagery. Dip into this kaleidoscope of moving, lyrical stories and tunes. Happy reading, happy singing, happy playing |
