Book Reviews of Lyrics
Book Review: I don't agree
Summary: 5 Stars
I think Sting is a brilliant writer,
just check the lyrics of "I burn for you",
"Fragile", "It's probably me" or "The book of my life".
I haven't bought this book, but it's probaly
the only artist I would consider buying the
lyrics in a book like this from.
Book Review: Interesting
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed the book. Sting's music has been around for a big chunk of my adult life, and I enjoyed the insight into the thought process that lies behind each of these songs.Book Review: Intriguing... we want more!
Summary: 5 Stars
Upon reading this book, i found the explanations and stories behind the songs very interesting. Sting has always been a prolific songwriter... especially during the years following The Police.
I guess I would have enjoyed more/deeper insights. But as a long-time Sting fan, I found this book very enjoyable.
It also serves as a great coffee-table book, since it's easy for guests to pick up & put down (ie- no real plot-line).
To those negative reviewers:
1) Read the actual book
2) Yes Sting is a bit narcissistic, but at least he can back it up. What's your problem?
Book Review: Lyrics and Poetry...Sometimes
Summary: 3 Stars
Sting's lyrics chart his migration from inane, repetitive tunes of the 80s to a mature poet. But it isn't a surefire book in the poetic genre, and although it is comprehensive, it might've been better presented if only those lyrics that truly pass for poetry were included. I'd recommend this only for the die-hard Sting fan, but there are many lyrics, especially in the later part of the book, that are poignant and well crafted, especially: It's Probably Me, When We Dance, The Hounds Of Winter, I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying, You Will Be My Ain True Love, and All Would Envy. I'm not familiar with Sting's music, but maybe I can give it another listen after reading through this collection.Book Review: Lyrics by Sting
Summary: 5 Stars
I am really glad I purchased this book. I love Sting's music and like to sing along. Having the lyrics and some history of his process is interesting to me. If you really like his music, this is a nice accompaniment to your collection.
