A free-jazz improvisation, a Hindustani raga, a movement from a Beethoven symphony- apparently, they're all songs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut they're not. From Sia to Springsteen, Archie Roach to Amy Winehouse, a song is a specific musical form. It's not so much that they all have verses and choruses - though most of them do - but that they are all relatively short and self-contained; they have beginnings, middles and ends; they often have a single point of view, message or story; and, crucially, they unite words and music. Thus, a Schubert song has more in common with a track by Joni Mitchell or Rihanna than with one of Schubert's own symphonies.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Song Remains the Same\u003c\/i\u003e traces these connections through seventy-five songs from different cultures and times- love songs, anthems, protest songs, lullabies, folk songs, jazz standards, lieder and pop hits; 'When You Wish Upon a Star' to 'We Will Rock You', 'Jerusalem' to 'Jolene'. Unpicking their inner workings makes familiar songs strange again, explaining and restoring the wonder, joy (or possibly loathing) the reader experienced on first hearing.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48034452832414,"sku":"ING-9781760640118","price":42.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781760640118.jpg?v=1784983728","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781760640118","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
