Write a review
The follow-up title to 2010's The Girl in the Song featuring the real-life stories behind 50 songs about the male of the species. Joan Baez sings about Dylan, Carly Simon sings about Warren Beatty, Chrissie Hynde about former lover Ray Davies, while 'Thorn In My Side' was inspired by Annie Lennox's ex-husband.
The Boy in the Song is a follow up to 2010's The Girl in the Song. It features the real-life stories that inspired some classic pop songs about the male of the species. While the first book was filled with songs about unrequited love, the follow-up is more varied, with songs written from a number of emotions. There are songs motivated by love and hate, there are tributes and there are biographical tales. Each song is featured on two, four or six pages with a small biography of the artist along with the story of how and why the song was written, and, most intriguingly, what happened after the song became a hit.
