Oh, honey, you wanna know about songs with book in the title? Well, I heard a thing or two ’bout that. Lots of songs, you see, they get their ideas from them books. Ain’t that somethin’?
Songs ‘Bout Books
You know, them music fellas, they read books just like us. And sometimes, them books, they put a song right in their hearts. They get all inspired, ya know? They write songs about what they read. And some of them songs, they even got “book” right there in the name!
- Book of Love, I think I heard that one on the radio once.
- Paperback Writer. A fella wrote that. I reckon he liked writing.
- Book of Days. Sounds important, don’t it?
Some songs, they just ’bout readin’. Sittin’ down with a good book, ya know? Like you’re on a journey. That’s what books do, they take ya places. And them songs, they try to do the same.
It’s like this, honey. You read a book, and it makes ya feel somethin’. Happy, sad, scared, whatever. And them music folks, they feel it too. So they write a song ’bout it. It’s kinda like tellin’ a story, but with music.
Why Books Make Good Songs
Books, they got all sorts of things in ’em. Love, adventure, sadness, you name it. So when a music fella reads a book, he gets all them feelings. And what does a music fella do with feelings? He writes a song!
Songs and books, they’re kinda like cousins. They both tell stories. They both make ya feel things. They both can take you to another world.
- Books are full of stories, and stories make good songs.
- Books make you feel things, and feelings make good songs.
- Books are like adventures, and adventures make good songs.
Some of these singers, famous ones too, like that Amy Winehouse, Adele. They like to read, and it shows in their songs. Music and books, always together, like two peas in a pod.
Music While You Read
Now, I ain’t one for much music when I’m readin’. I like it quiet. But some folks, they like a little somethin’ in the background. My granddaughter, she likes that classical music. Says it helps her think.
She says some fellas, Bach and Mozart, they’re good for readin’ to. I don’t know ’bout all that. But if it helps ya read, then I say go for it.
There’s all sorts of music out there. Some of it is loud, some of it is quiet. Some got words, and some don’t. Whatever floats your boat, I reckon.
- Some folks like quiet music when they read.
- Some folks like music with no words.
- Some folks just like it quiet.
It ain’t just those songs with book in the title. Many songs, they’re like a little book themselves. They tell a whole story in just a few minutes. It’s like magic, ain’t it?
Big Shots Singin’ ‘Bout Books
Even them big-time singers, The Beatles, and that Rolling Stones fellas, they got ideas from books too. They were always reading, gettin’ inspired by them stories.
It just goes to show, honey. Books are powerful things. They can make ya laugh, they can make ya cry, and they can even make ya write a song. I reckon, even Rick Wakeman, he probably read a lot of books.
So next time you hear a song, think about it. Might be that song came from a book. Might be the singer was readin’ somethin’ that touched his heart. And he just had to sing ’bout it.
Books and music, they go together like peanut butter and jelly. Always have, always will. This whole songs with book in the title thing, it is just the tip of the iceberg. You keep on readin’ them books, honey. And keep on listenin’ to that music. They’ll both do ya good.
And who knows, maybe one day you’ll write a song ’bout a book you read. Wouldn’t that be somethin’? You just never know what them books will do to ya.
