The Philosophy of Modern Song<\/span> is Bob Dylan’s first book of new writing since 2004’s Chronicles: Volume One <\/span>– and since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2016.<\/p>\n

Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers a masterclass on the art and craft of songwriting. He writes over 60 essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyses what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. They are mysterious and mercurial, poignant and profound, and often laugh-out-loud funny. And while they are ostensibly about music, they are really meditations and reflections on the human condition. Running throughout the book are nearly 150 carefully curated photos as well as a series of dream-like riffs that, taken together, resemble an epic poem and add to the work’s transcendence.<\/p>\n

In 2020, with the release of his outstanding album Rough and Rowdy Ways<\/span>, Dylan became the first artist to have an album hit the Billboard Top 40 in each decade since the 1960s. The Philosophy of Modern Song<\/span> contains much of what he has learned about his craft in all those years and, like everything that Dylan does, it is a momentous artistic achievement.<\/p>\n

Born Robert Allen Zimmerman in 1941, Bob Dylan is without question one of the most influential figures in the history of popular music. He not only revolutionised popular music by incorporating poetry in his folk and rock compositions, he also helped create a more inclusive and progressive consciousness in American culture.<\/div>\n

UND SO LAUTET DIE DEUTSCHE PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNG:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
EIN WELTEREIGNIS \u2013 DAS NEUE BUCH VON BOB DYLAN<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

„Blowin\u2019 in the wind“, „All along the watchtower“, „Knockin\u2019 on heaven\u2019s door“ \u2013 seine Songs besitzen eine poetische Kraft, f\u00fcr die er 2016 mit dem Nobelpreis f\u00fcr Literatur geehrt wurde. Nun legt Bob Dylan ein Buch vor, in dem er nicht auf sein eigenes Werk zur\u00fcckblickt, sondern auf mehr als 60 Songs, die ihn beeindruckt und gepr\u00e4gt haben. Es bietet einzigartige Einsichten in das Wesen der popul\u00e4ren Musik, die uns von Little Richard zu Frank Sinatra, von Elvis Presley zu The Clash, von Nina Simone zu Elvis Costello f\u00fchren.<\/p>\n

Naheliegende Reime k\u00f6nnen leicht zu einer Falle werden, eine Silbe zu viel kann einen guten Song um seine Wirkung bringen, und Bluegrass hat mehr mit Heavy Metal gemeinsam, als es auf den ersten Blick scheint. Es ist Bob Dylan pers\u00f6nlich, der hier die Philosophie des modernen Songs darlegt und daf\u00fcr Werke wie „Long Tall Sally“, „Strangers in the night“ oder „London calling“ unter die Lupe nimmt. Mysteri\u00f6s und magisch, pr\u00e4zise und profund, oft auch sehr witzig legt der Meister die Substanz jedes Songs frei und meditiert dabei in unnachahmlich dylanesker Diktion \u00fcber das menschliche Leben und den fragw\u00fcrdigen Zustand unserer Welt. So wie seine besten Songs ist dieser h\u00f6chst subjektive Kanon, an dem er seit 2010 gearbeitet hat, schon jetzt selbst ein kanonisches Werk \u2013 und ein ungeheures Lesevergn\u00fcgen f\u00fcr jeden, der sich schon einmal eine Schallplatte gekauft hat.<\/p>\n
