Download or read book The Song Remains the Same written by Andrew Ford and published by La Trobe University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating history of the song for every kind of music lover Often today, the word ‘song’ is used to describe all music. A free-jazz improvisation, a Hindustani raga, a movement from a Beethoven symphony: apparently, they’re all songs. But they’re not. From Sia to Springsteen, Archie Roach to Amy Winehouse, a song is a specific musical form. It’s not so much that they all have verses and choruses – though most of them do – but that they are all relatively short and self-contained; they have beginnings, middles and ends; they often have a single point of view, message or story; and, crucially, they unite words and music. Thus, a Schubert song has more in common with a track by Joni Mitchell or Rihanna than with one of Schubert’s own symphonies. The Song Remains the Same traces these connections through seventy-five songs from different cultures and times: love songs, anthems, protest songs, lullabies, folk songs, jazz standards, lieder and pop hits; ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’ to ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Jerusalem’ to ‘Jolene’. Unpicking their inner workings makes familiar songs strange again, explaining and restoring the wonder, joy (or possibly loathing) the reader experienced on first hearing. ‘As much about singing, musicianship and recording as it is about songwriting, this eclectic ride through a unique choice of songs (everyone will argue for alternatives) is cleverly curated and littered with intriguing details about the creators and their times, filled with loving cross-references to other songs and deft musical analysis. I defy anyone not to leap online to listen to the unfamiliar, or re-listen to old favourites in light of new detail. One of the best games in this book is figuring out why one song follows the other: there’s always an intelligent, often very funny, link.’ —Robyn Archer

Download or read book Nature Poem written by Tommy Pico and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book-length poem about how an American Indian writer can’t bring himself to write about nature, but is forced to reckon with colonial-white stereotypes, manifest destiny, and his own identity as an young, queer, urban-dwelling poet. A Best Book of the Year at BuzzFeed, Interview, and more. Nature Poem follows Teebs—a young, queer, American Indian (or NDN) poet—who can’t bring himself to write a nature poem. For the reservation-born, urban-dwelling hipster, the exercise feels stereotypical, reductive, and boring. He hates nature. He prefers city lights to the night sky. He’d slap a tree across the face. He’d rather write a mountain of hashtag punchlines about death and give head in a pizza-parlor bathroom; he’d rather write odes to Aretha Franklin and Hole. While he’s adamant—bratty, even—about his distaste for the word “natural,” over the course of the book we see him confronting the assimilationist, historical, colonial-white ideas that collude NDN people with nature. The closer his people were identified with the “natural world,” he figures, the easier it was to mow them down like the underbrush. But Teebs gradually learns how to interpret constellations through his own lens, along with human nature, sexuality, language, music, and Twitter. Even while he reckons with manifest destiny and genocide and centuries of disenfranchisement, he learns how to have faith in his own voice.

Download or read book Love is a Desire That Becomes an Appetite written by MonaLisa Covington and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what your appetite for love would be? Have you ever questioned your internal desires or even vocalized them? Have you placed God at the center of it all? We as humans have appetites just as unique as we are. It is one of the things that can separate us from each other, or bring us together. Several appetites are brought to light from abusive love to rejected love. MonaLisa says, “Refusing to forgive smothers my freedom in Christ and stunts my spiritual growth.” In this book that is very clear. This is an excellent read for those who are searching for love or wanting to love. The underlying theme seems to focus on keeping God first in our lives and in our quest for love. MonaLisa tells her story as Tiara, often called a mentor, minister, coach and counselor. She is a woman of great wisdom when it comes to helping her family and friends figure out why they love the way they love and why they love, who they love. She is an essential voice to all of them and honest in her responses to their questions. She helps them to see themselves and those they are “in love” with. Whether right or wrong, her voice is heard. As I read Love is a Desire that Becomes an Appetite, I saw myself in several scenarios and even took a moment to reflect just how far I had come in my quest for love. Each chapter in this book outlines the different appetites that we as people have. Some appetites are learned behavior that was passed down from our parents and some are other behaviors that we ourselves created in an effort to protect and provide. Although some scenarios, such as the relationship between Darrius and Alexus, highlight just how precious love can be when the two put Christ first, there are other scenarios like the relationship between Jada and Darnell, that can be leave you questioning your own desire to love. An Appetite is an excellent depiction of how love can help us when used the correct way and with the right person, or hurt us when we ourselves are hurting. For the most part, Love is a Desire that Becomes an Appetite brings out the best and worst in human relationships when it comes to love and even gives you a view into the author’s own desire to love, and be loved. In her own words, “love is not love until it is shared with someone else.” Review by Robin A. Stevens - 2014

Sex, God, and Rock 'n' Roll is a story of such threads in one extraordinary life. Barry Taylor began adulthood on the road with a world-famous rock band, and there he found religion. He then became a theologian, priest, teacher, and a theist-non-theist-post-theist. Some of his stories will shock and others will provoke laughter and tears. Taken together, they will show just how poignantly the sacred moves in all of our lives.
