Details zu The Things I Make - Buch

You’re probably holding this book because you’re a fan of Six By Seven and you want to know more about the band’s songs: how they were written, and why. Well, to paraphrase something Neil Young said to me, “If you’re looking for that kind of thing, this is the place to go. ”The first Chris Olley lyric I ever heard was: “It’s good to be someone/To feel like you belong.” Easier said than done, but those sentiments are eternal. Anyone who’s ever obsessed over music and puzzled about life will find some companionship herein. Chris is a brave writer, and the real deal. He writes a song about addiction, and then receives an email from Mark Lanegan telling him he’s nailed it. Between the lyrics and the explanatory notes, there’s a lot of beauty and chaos, ugly truths and no easy answers. But like he says in Colder: “I won’t ever give up…” The Things I Make is worth the journey. They do have the most beautiful shape. Keith Cameron - MOJO
