![]() Rating: - Publishing Date Error ! If you have reservations about buying this book because of the publishing date (1984) you should think again. This book has been revised and updated but some how, some way no credit is given. The author makes reference to songs written in 2006 by John Mayer and others! As for the value of this book - it is absolutely wonderful. Just reading the first two chapters gave me countless ideas for new song lyrics. The only thing I would change about this book is that the author gives examples ... Read More Rating: - Surprisingly goodI've gotten over "writer's block", which was a myth to begin with. I'm writing great lyrics now, and feeling confident in my lyrics. Rating: - THIS IS THE BEST BOOK ON THE SUBJECT OF LYRIC/POETRY WRITING If your goal is to learn all you ever need to know about lyric writing, then this is the book you must own.

Yes, some examples are old, but they still illustrate excellence in action. Some other books are certainly quicker and more entertaining reads, but if your goal is to write the very best lyrics you possibly can, you are only hurting ... Read More Rating: - This book is awesome!This book proves that Lyricism is a craft that can be taught, not a gift that you either have or have not. In reading it I have already identified which of my lyric ideas are the strongest, which ones need a lot of work, and which ones need to be thrown out all together. Every page of this book gives you more tools to work with to push your lyric writing in the right direction. Much of the book is written about popular music (but not necessarily "pop" music) with a lot examples from older country ... Read More
