《音乐、歌词与生活》是你一直梦寐以求的歌曲创作课程,由你一直渴望遇到的教授执教。本书深入探讨了各个阶段的歌曲创作者都会遇到的问题,从如何开始写创作日志到如何判断一首歌是否完成,无所不包。备受赞誉的创作型歌手迈克·埃里科以幽默和同理心,揭开了歌曲创作的神秘面纱,并剖析了歌曲创作者生活的方方面面。多年来,这套工具、提示和理念启发了包括耶鲁大学、卫斯理大学、伯克利音乐学院、奥柏林学院以及纽约大学克莱夫·戴维斯录音音乐学院在内的众多高校学生。
除了分享自己的经验,埃里科还采访了当今热门歌曲背后的词曲作者、制作人和A&R主管,并通过与众多创新思想家的生动对话,探讨了更宏大的创造力问题:天体物理学家詹娜·莱文解释了重复的重要性,无论是在副歌中还是在探索宇宙的过程中;著名画家约翰·柯林赞扬了形式的限制,无论是在直角画布上还是在三分钟的流行歌曲中;畅销书作家乔治·桑德斯揭示了真诚写作和修改的隐藏益处;等等。最终,《音乐、歌词与人生》不仅揭示了歌曲创作的艺术,也揭示了我们是谁,以及我们可能走向何方。
Music, Lyrics, and Life is the songwriting class you always wish you’d taken, taught by the professor you always wish you’d had. It’s a deep dive into the heart of questions asked by songwriters of all levels, from how to begin journaling to when you know that a song is finished. With humor and empathy, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music.
Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today’s biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it’s within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that Music, Lyrics, and Life ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going.
