Editorial Review: Product Description: This book reveals the inherent relationship between personality type, brain function and writing style. Includes 40 proven songwriting strategies - guaranteed to spark songwritersÕ imaginations. 240 pages. 6x9. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - great so farhi, you are looking at this book as you neeed to write songs, either for your self or band etc, what has to happen first is an inner change, not only in mental organization but development of skills. the good news is it is possible, the bad news it takes time and effort, so no book in the world will give you that. I have not finished this book but i must say i think it is great from my point of view, is it a style thing, most likely. i have shela davis books, and they are wonderful, ... Read More Rating: - Good for the moneyI hear this book is some kind of industry standard book for other musicians, and I enjoyed it. Like the other reviews said though, the 40 strategies are really 40 different types of songs you could write. i.e. "the childrens song" "breaking up" "the christmas song" The first couple of chapters describe what she calls "whole brain writing", and is actually very clever. This book helped me immensly, I just knocked a star off b/c of the bad title and I think ... Read More Rating: - The cure for writer's blockEver had writer's block? This book is the cure! Along with Davis' THE CRAFT OF LYRIC WRITING and SUCCESSFUL LYRIC WRITING, THE SONGWRITERS IDEA BOOK forms a brilliant trilogy that is essential for the person who wants to write lyrics. I'm rather surprised by reading some of the negative comments below. My guess is that those people merely leafed through the book without actually reading it. This book is NOT an easy read. It is not something that can be scanned. It must be read and studied very ... Read More Rating:  - Title is misleadingPro: Excellent catalog of types of lyrics. Also good coverage of different elements that make hit songs. Con: The title is misleading. The "40 strategies" is really no more than a catalog of 40 general types of lyrics, i.e. people get hit songs from: a holiday, a place, a town, a love lost, love gained, etc. Some useful ideas, but I was hoping for something more like writing or brainstorming exercise to open the imagination. This book was not at all useful for me. Rating: - Excellent for identifying your mind as well as song ideasI refer to this book weekly and have owned it for 4 years. I spoke the author in 1997 and thanked her for her contribution to this subject. Her 3 books are 3 volumes of my songwriting bible. It is her books that finally gave me the ability to be happy with my own songwriting for the first time in my timespan of over ten years of not liking my lyrics. In this book, the author helps you identify your style of work and how it affects your first drafts. This info also has helped me in other parts of my ... Read More
