Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
America's Songs tells the stories behind the most beloved popular songs of the last century. We all have songs that have a special meaning in our lives; hearing them evokes a special time or place. Little wonder that these special songs have become enduring classics. Nothing brings the roarin '20s to life like Tea for Two or I'm just Wild About Harry; the Great Depression is evoked in all of its pain and misery in songs like Brother Can You Spare a Dime?; God Bless America revives the powerful hope that American democracy promised to the world during the dark days of World War II; Young at Heart evokes the postwar optimism of the '50s. And then there are the countless songs of love, new romance, and heartbreak: As Time Goes By, Always, Am I Blue...the list is endless. Along with telling the stories behind these songs, America's Songs suggests, simply and succinctly, what makes a song great. The book illuminates the way each great song melds words and music - sentiment and melody - into a seamless whole. America's Songs also traces the fascinating but mysterious process of collaboration, the give-and-take between two craftsmen, a composer and a lyricist, as they combined their talents to create a song. For anyone interested in the history of the songs that America loves, America's Songs will make for fascinating reading.

This Is My Story But His Song
Author: Phyllis N. Williams
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1434393003
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
"This Is My Story But His Song" is a true testimony about a girl growing up in Alabama with a loving and caring family. Her mother introduced her to singing at church at the young age of four. Initially, Nan did not enjoy singing because during her childhood, her brothers thought it was the funniest thing to make her cry while singing solos. When they were older, the tears were reversed and the brothers cried as Nan sang like an "Angel." Her troubles started when she wanted to experience life and relationships. This story tells of the many highs and lows which Nan goes through in life as a woman struggling with promiscuity and its consequences; she's a discontented wife with many relationship mishaps. Having succumbed to human weaknesses time and time again, she was exposed. After meeting Luke, Ed and Ron she thought she had love figured out. It wasn't until she met John and her life changed for the better. God gets the glory because Nan always knew where her heart was. She realized that with all of the emptiness from a relationship with men, the only one who could ever make her feel "agape" love was God alone. Lessons her parents taught her as a child followed her through her life. As in 1 Peter, Nan believes she has suffered for Christ's sake and throughout all of her pains and shortcomings, she's able to stand tall, come out of her chrysalis with a song in her heart and emerge into the most "Beautiful, Colorful Butterfly" ever seen. Nan prays that all will be inspired and encouraged knowing that Jesus died for all of our sins and because of His stripes we are healed. Just know that Jesus loves you and He'll meet you where you are.
