Words and music into the future : a songwriting treatise & manifesto / Michael Koppy.

Koppy, Michael, (author.).

Summary:

"Literary criticism, songwriting analysis, and cultural commentary, 'Words and Music into the Future' is an uncompromising examination of the current state of popular songs and songwriting in the English-speaking world. Devoid of hero worship and celebrity gossip, using mostly well-known songs from recent decades as examples, Michael Koppy presents a compelling case that we listeners have been force-fed a steady diet of industry illitercy, and that the time has come for songwriting and song criticism to rise to greater heights."--Back cover.
