## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inspiring book which gets my seal of approval
*by S***E on 24 January 2018*

First of all, let me say that I am not a musician but have a friend who is an accomplished guitar player and has, for many years, performed on the local folk circuit. For ages, he has ask if I could come up with some lyrics for him because, although he finds it easy to compose the music, he sometimes struggles with writing the words. I think he assumed that my worldly travels, combined with my love of reading would translate into me having plenty of 'ideas' for songs. The truth is I did have a go (many times) but failed to come up with anything that I thought worthy of passing on to him. Then one day I was inspired to write a poem that dealt with the simple pleasures I experienced as a young boy. I passed this poem on to my friend who produced a really good song from it. That set the ball rolling! We have gone on to write several more songs together - and I have many more that are 'works in progress.'However, I still thought there was room for improvement and, as I have never taken any formal lyric writing courses, I thought I should at least invest in a book that might help and inspire me. There's a lot of publications out there but after reading all the reviews, I opted for this one by Pat Pattison. As another reviewer has already pointed out, this is an American author, so the book is slanted more towards the US market - hence some rhyming words may not work when British pronunciations are used. However, for me, it's all about adapting what is being taught. I'm so pleased I got hold of this book because it's provided me with the techniques that I previously hadn't considered - and I've already finished off a couple of song projects that I'd temporarily abandoned!  Can't say much more than that really - other than to give this book my seal of approval.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book on Technique with Nice Anecdotes Too
*by A***H on 16 March 2015*

I'm always wary of books like this as a few I've dipped into come across as rigid formulas rather than flexible techniques. I like the way it made me think about my own lyric written and, even though the examples sometime look a bit cheesy and hokey-cokey, they are presented in a way that allows you to analyse and practise the techniques involved. This allows you to quickly use the tools in your own writing, and see with fresh eyes why some of your earlier examples worked and why others didn't work so well. The book also allows you some breathing space to not be afraid to write, in the author's own words, "crap" in order to free up your mind for the good stuff. Something that stuck with me from early on was (paraphrased): "Did the writer know of the effect of line length and phrasing when they wrote it? Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't mean you can't". It puts the idea in your head that you can make happy accidents part of your arsenal to create better lyrics. Lovely stuff!The author's own experiences and anecdotes are also peppered throughout, which adds a nice personal aspect to the whole thing. I'd advise readers to try all the exercises as soon as they come across them - I didn't initially but found them very useful. This could be one of those key books that unlocks some of the mystery of songwriting by framing it in good technical processes.

### ⭐⭐⭐ It was a book my son recommended but had no songs to show that it had ...
*by S***A on 21 June 2018*

My impression is that the ideas presented are too complex and difficult to actually apply. It was a book my son recommended but had no songs to show that it had been helpful to him. There will be better books on the subject.
