Having been a songwriter most of my life; condensing my ideas and emotions into short rhyming couplets and setting them to music; I had never really considered writing a book. But upon arriving at the reflective age of fifty; I found myself drawn; for the first time; to write long passages that were as stimulating and intriguing to me as any songwriting I had ever done.And so Broken Music began to take shape. It is a book about the early part of my life; from childhood through adolescence; right up to the eve of my success with the Police. It is a story very few people know.I had no interest in writing a traditional autobiographical recitation of everything thatrsquo;s ever happened to me. Instead I found myself drawn to exploring specific moments; certain people and relationships; and particular events which still resonate powerfully for me as I try to understand the child I was; and the man I became.From the Hardcover edition.

The list of songs is adequate and I have enjoyed it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. GREAT COMPLIMENT TO ACOUSTIC ROCK BOOKBy Ron RioThis Folk Pop Rock book features 80 great songs. arranged alphabetically and with lyrics. chord symbols and chord diagrams. Because 72 of these songs are not included in the Acoustic Rock Book. you dont have to worry about overlap.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
