![]() Music and Lyrics (Widescreen Edition) $14.96 I saw this in the movie theater and loved it. I was happy with the price on amazon and I didn't hesitate to add it into my collection. I rated it 4 stars because I loved it but if I was going with the movie rating system then I'd say it was a three star movie. I was never a fan of Hugh Grant before but I found him funny and charming in this movie. There was great chemistry between him and Drew Barrymore. I honestly thought Hugh Grant stole the show. He's funny as a 80s popstar has-been. The songs are all original and they're fantastic. I'm even considering buying the soundtrack which is something I rarely do. Haley Bennet was good as Cora Corman although her acting left a little to be desired but based on her IMDB profile, this was her first feature film, so kudos for her, she held her own against Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. What else I can say? Yes it's true the movie is predictable, but you're in for a treat: the cast was well chosen and I knew I would like this movie the moment they showed the 'music video' in the opening credits, so see it already. ![]() Lyrics $28.00 THE BOOK BRINGS EVERY STING LYRICS WE LOVE. THE ISSUE IS GORGEUS AND THE QUALITY IS UNIQUE!!!! ![]() Music and Lyrics $18.98 Grant and Barrymore are excellent performers and most of their work is pretty good. There was a combination of superb acting, story line, and music that make this movie just so wonderful. The ensemble aspect with the other actors was also just the best. The on-screen chemistry between Grant and Barrymore was so significant, that one could believe that they were lovers in real life. The music is so warm and enduring. I have purchased both the movie sound track, sheet music, and movie DVD. Good job G&B! ![]() Lyrics: Writing Better Words for Your Songs (Songwriting) $22.95 I started a songwriters club just over a year ago. We've all spent time acquiring good resources to read and share. We look for reference material that will not only help us with our individual work but will help us offer constructive ideas to each other on lyrics, construction, content, melody, theme, etc. This is one of the better books I've found on lyric writing. It gives a lot of approaches for stimulating songs along with examples of popular songs that used each approach. I find it is now a book I can pick up anytime, open to any page and within moments have a fresh idea. There seems to be a good balance of instructive narrative and helpful examples. What I like most is that it deals head on with my two biggest issues: inspiration and structure. It was definitely money well spent and truly delivers on the author's promise (a statement I'm unwilling to make about similar books). It is a keeper for my reference library. I fully intend to purchase other works by this author. |
