This wide-ranging survey, part-anthology, part-social history provides a unique study of popular song. Tender or harsh, fleeting or long-remembered, song has always been a vehicle for the expression of popular feeling, often as the voice of the oppressed or of those in opposition to the power fo the State. It has won high praise: 'Magical . . . These popular songs tell us of life's pleasures and pains from the cradle to the grave, of work and play, sport and sex, loving and leaving, the town and the country . . . A book both heart-rending and heart-warming. It is Palmer's achievement to attune our ears to the sounds of the past.' Roy Porter in the Sunday Times

What would it be like to live the life of a popular song? "My Life as a Song" is the story of a popular song, which takes readers on a journey that began near the end of the 19th Century, 1892 to be exact. The journey takes a reader through the history of recorded music by continuing to the present with a determined reach into the future. The main character of the story, as the title suggests, is a song. The song was much more than a century old when "My Life as a Song" was written. It was older than any living human being. While the song has witnessed many historical changes via the recording industry, it has also witnessed the many changes in music and the music business. Most of the song's experiences have been good throughout the years. However, some experiences have been very challenging. It is difficult to designate a definite literary term to the main character in "My Life as a Song." While terms such as personification and anthropomorphism come to mind, by definition, those terms do not exactly fit a story in which a song is telling the story. The reason is because a song is intangible. A more correct term for "My Life as a Song" through the eyes of its main character is an embodiment. The song, as the main character, is an embodiment turned into an anthropomorphism. An embodiment, in this instance, is a tangible form of an idea or concept. That is how the song is presented. The song telling the story is an embodiment that has become anthropomorphic because, in its tangible form, it has human characteristics. As a reader will experience, the song tells its story through a human's words and has the ability to be in different places. Most importantly, the song has human emotions, which are revealed when it reacts to its own incredible life and the life of its fictional songwriter, Charles Williamson. Through "My Life as a Song," travel through recorded music history while learning about the successes and tribulations of the song's lyricist and composer. While the story entertains as a fictional writing, it also informs factually. It gives a reader a complete history of recorded music and much more. "My Life as a Song" gives one an appreciation of lyrics and music as well as an insightful appreciation for the lyricists and composers who have created songs in the past and the lyricists and composers who still create the songs of which people enjoy performing and hearing. Appropriately, the book is dedicated to songwriters of all eras and of all musical genres. No one has ever read a story like this before. Live the incredible life of a popular song by experiencing "My Life as a Song: The History of Recorded Music," a historical fiction novel by Scott Paulson.

Songwriters dramatically captured the details of how Americans lived, thought and changed in the first half of the twentieth century. This book examines 1033 songs about WWI and WWII wars, presidents, Women’s Suffrage, Prohibition, the Great Depression, immigration, minority stereotypes, new modes of transportation, inventions, and the changing roles of men and women. America invited immigrants and went to war to ensure democracy but within its borders, lyrics display intolerant attitudes toward women, blacks, and ethnic groups. Songs covered labor strikes, communism, lynchings, women voting and working, love, sex, airships, radio, telephones, the lure of movies and new movie star role models, drugs, smoking, and the atom bomb.History books cannot match the humor, poignancy, poetry and thrill of lyrics in describing the essence of American life as we moved from a rural white male dominated society toward an urban democracy that finally included women and minorities.

An entertaining look at the changing face of the Eurovision Song Contest and the political and cultural influences behind its kitsch and glitzy façade. Do you think the world of the Eurovision Song Contest, with its crazy props, even crazier dancers, and crazier still songs has nothing to do with serious European politics? Think again. The contest has been a mirror for cultural, social, and political developments in Europe ever since its inauguration, when an audience in dinner jackets and ball gowns politely applauded each song. It has been a voice of rebellion across the Iron Curtain, an inspiration for new European nations in the 1990s and 2000s, the voice of liberation for both sexual and regional minorities. It even once triggered a national revolution. Eurovision! charts both the history of Europe and the history of the Eurovision Song Contest over the last six decades, and shows how seamlessly they interlink — and what an amazing journey it has been.

Discover the Music that Changed Everything Embark on a complex and inspiring journey through the last 101 years as told through some of the most memorable hits and the artists behind them. Noah Lefevre, creator of Polyphonic, explores how our favorite music does more than entertain. From Aretha Franklin carving out her own space in what had been considered a man’s world by reworking the chauvinistic lyrics to 1967’s hit “Respect” to Doja Cat’s successful backlash against toxic fans of the digital age; from a broken amplifier on “Rocket 88” ushering in the distorted sounds of rock n’ roll to Kendrick Lamar’s release of “Alright,” which became the unofficial anthem to the BLM protest—each song mirrors the strife, change and progress of our country’s narrative. In this rich and engrossing guide for music lovers everywhere, you’ll discover how a single song can make history.
