2.0 out of 5 stars 500 Songwriting Ideas: For Brave and Passionate People, January 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 500 Songwriting Ideas (Paperback)

This book stimulates the mind to a certain degree, however each listed idea seemed rather brief. I felt it was more like a basic brainstorming tool for people who completely lacked creativity. I have also read The Songwriter's Idea Book by Sheila Davis and found that to be a fully comprehensive book providing ideas for songwriting, and it goes into more depth, providing examples where necessary... whereas this book failed to expand on the ideas listed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful and inspiring resource, June 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 500 Songwriting Ideas (Paperback)

500? More like 5 million ideas! A person who writes a lot can get stale, or go dry. This book is an amazing well of ideas. I use it all the time. It really gets me inspired to write new songs. It's especially useful when I'm looking for a great hook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stretch your imagination and your heart, October 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 500 Songwriting Ideas (Paperback)

An inspirational, evocative book. The author is extremely creative, and offers her many insights - in the form of exercises the reader can try -- for songwriting. A valuable resource for anyone serious about songwriting, and, more broadly, an open invitation to be more creative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wowie
This is a simply inspiring piece of work. I don't know what problems Jay has with the lyrics - I could find none! But maybe he's reading from a different book. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars this book is a total donkey.
This book has very little to do with SONG writing: it contians tips on LYRIC writing... and the author's lyrics are some of the worst I've heard in a while. Read more
