The Illustrated Book of Songs Hardback

Hardback

Description

From rockers to ravers, The Illustrated Book of Songs is the book every music lover will want.

In quick-witted style, Irish writer Colm Boyd navigates us through lists of classic songs for every occasion.

Prepare yourself for fascinating facts, cool illustrations and withering commentary on songs presented in lists such as:Songs about Getting DumpedSongs about ProstitutionSongs about Environmental MattersSongs about Being a Complete and Utter AssholeSongs about Gender IdentityAlternative Christmas SongsThe Illustrated Book of Songs features 70 lists, discussing hundreds of songs from different genres and artists - from Adele to Aretha, Jagger to Jarvis, Rufus to Rosalia.

Many of the songs are well-known, others are a little more off-radar.

Some have amazing musicality, some have lyrics - quite literally - worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Some deal with death, others deal with zebras, one song deals with prostitute-frequenting chess players in Bangkok.

You get the idea. Each of the book's lists is accompanied by a scannable Spotify code, allowing readers to use their smartphones to directly access the songs mentioned.

So, time to get reading and get listening. Check out the book's website for more information: colmboyd.com/the-illustrated-book-of-songs.
