Download or read book How to Write One Song written by Jeff Tweedy and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after reading Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? Because the difference between one song and many songs isn't a cute semantic trick—it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit. And then there is the energizing, nourishing creativity that can open up. How to Write One Song brings readers into the intimate process of writing one song—lyrics, music, and putting it all together—and accesses the deep sense of wonder that remains at the heart of this curious, yet incredibly fulfilling, artistic act. But it’s equally about the importance of making creativity part of your life every day, and of experiencing the hope, inspiration, and joy available to anyone who’s willing to get started.

Tommy Stopliewicz is the insanely talented yet troubled lead guitarist in one of the world’s top rock bands, aptly named ‘Stop’. The band’s works have never seen platinum status, and then a band member threatens to remove their gold status for good in one fell swoop. Never one to back down, Tommy is suddenly headfirst in the pursuit of his life and livelihood. Until he’s invited to a charity fundraiser that changes his life forever. Debbie Branscombe has just become a New York Times bestselling author, but the status doesn’t live up to its expectations, especially since she’s raising two teenage girls on her own. Holding a full-time job and squeezing in time to write while she and her girls continue to mourn for their beloved father and husband is no easy task. When she’s invited to donate books to a charity fundraiser and recite a reading, she jumps at the huge PR potential. Little does she know that one of her favorite bands has also donated to the event. When Tommy sits in the sidelines as Debbie does the reading of her book, he’s instantly enthralled and a spark strikes him unlike any other. But is Debbie ready to not only enter into a relationship so soon after her husband’s death, but, to a rock star? Debbie soon learns that there are elements to the lifestyle that are dangerous to say the least, and Tommy is soon begging her to stay. But it isn’t just Debbie’s life at stake here, it’s her kid’s lives, too. Tommy must give up the one thing that he’s done his entire adult life, or he’ll lose the one and only woman that he’s ever loved, forever.

Book excerpt: A successful guitarist. Broken by one, made by another…and wrecked by the one person he’s trusted since birth. Jimmy Trent wasn’t born with a guitar in his hand, but his big brother Ken showed him the ropes at a tender age. Jimmy was hooked, and when the band Brainchild was born, he began to fulfill his childhood dream. With Ken by his side, Jimmy soars with his band, reaching milestones most rock stars simply get to witness from their parent’s garages. But when Mandy, Jimmy’s first love, comes into the picture, all bets are off. When the supermodel doesn’t bring him all the promises a proper wife should, the rock star finds himself in a hole that he can’t dig himself out of. Cindy Kilgore never thought her beloved husband would stoop to the level that fifty percent of men have, but when she receives the news that he’s warmed another woman’s bed, she packs her bags to move back to the hometown she’s missed. With her mother suffering from a recent stroke, it’s all the more reason for Cindy’s return. And with her two-bit a-hole boss driving a stake through her budding career, it gives her three reasons to move on. She never expects to find the job of a lifetime at a recording studio. But the job comes with strings attached that she’s bluntly acquainted with the second she sees rock star Jimmy Trent answer the door. With Cindy’s surprisingly apt skills, Jimmy quickly notices that Cindy is cut out for more than just an assistant’s position, and this realization could not have come at a better time, since they’re missing one head in the team. She quickly takes on more and more responsibility with ease and enthusiasm, until an unexpected visit to the emergency room threatens to bring Cindy’s new career to a grinding halt. Jimmy has a tough decision to make, and with the growing pressure of a new record and a recording contract’s ink that isn’t even dried yet, the rock star and his band need to make some quick, impossible changes. Jimmy finds himself unable to turn his cheek on Cindy. What’s worse, she doesn’t even know it…yet. Filled with heartache, heartbreak and a handsome helping of triumph, ‘Opening Night’ is the perfect complement to ‘Dress Rehearsal’. Get your tissues out, this one is a tearjerker! Fair warning: this story covers sensitive adult subject matter and has course language, violence, drug use and explicit sex.

Download or read book Your Song Changed My Life written by Bob Boilen and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beloved host and creator of NPR’s All Songs Considered and Tiny Desk Concerts comes an essential oral history of modern music, told in the voices of iconic and up-and-coming musicians, including Dave Grohl, Jimmy Page, Michael Stipe, Carrie Brownstein, Smokey Robinson, and Jeff Tweedy, among others—published in association with NPR Music. Is there a unforgettable song that changed your life? NPR’s renowned music authority Bob Boilen posed this question to some of today’s best-loved musical legends and rising stars. In Your Song Changed My Life, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), St. Vincent, Jónsi (Sigur Rós), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Cat Power, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Jenny Lewis, Carrie Brownstein (Portlandia, Sleater-Kinney), Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Colin Meloy (The Decemberists), Trey Anastasio (Phish), Jackson Browne, Valerie June, Philip Glass, James Blake, and other artists reflect on pivotal moments that inspired their work. For Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, it was discovering his sister’s 45 of The Byrds’ “Turn, Turn, Turn.” A young St. Vincent’s life changed the day a box of CDs literally fell off a delivery truck in front of her house. Cat Stevens was transformed when he heard John Lennon cover “Twist and Shout.” These are the momentous yet unmarked events that have shaped these and many other musical talents, and ultimately the sound of modern music. A diverse collection of personal experiences, both ordinary and extraordinary, Your Song Changed My Life illustrates the ways in which music is revived, restored, and revolutionized. It is also a testament to the power of music in our lives, and an inspiration for future artists and music lovers.

Download or read book The Sounds of Spectators at Football written by Nicolai Jørgensgaard Graakjær and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sounds of spectators at football (soccer) are often highlighted – by spectators, tourists, commentators, journalists, scholars, media producers, etc. – as crucial for the experience of football. These sounds are often said to contribute significantly to the production (at the stadium) and conveyance (in televised broadcast) of 'atmosphere.' This book addresses why and how spectator sounds contribute to the experience of watching in these environments and what characterizes spectator sounds in terms of their structure, distribution and significance. Based on an examination of empirical materials – including the sounds of football matches from the English Premier League as they emerge both at the stadium and in the televised broadcast – this book systematically dissects the sounds of football watching.
