Description: Too often we treat popular music as wallpaper surrounding us as we live our lives. Jude Rogers shows the emotional and cerebral heft such music can have. It's a personal journey which becomes universal. Fascinating Ian Rankin Moving and absorbing The Sound of Being Human mixes memoir analysis anecdote and personal chronicle into a mosaic that evokes what music means to the individual and the human tribe. A candid beautiful read Stuart Maconie The Sound of Being Human explores in detail why music plays such a deep - rooted role in so many lives from before we are born to our last days. At its heart is Jude's own story: how songs helped her wrestle with the grief of losing her father at age five; concoct her own sense of self as a lonely adolescent; sky - rocket her relationships both real and imagined in the flushes of early womanhood propel her own journey into working life adulthood and parenthood and look to the future. Shaped around twelve songs ranging from ABB a's Super Trouper to Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance' Kraftwerk's Radioactivity to Martha Reeves and the Vandellas Heat Wave' the book combines memoir and historical scientific and cultural enquiry to show how music can shape different versions of ourselves; how we rely upon music for comfort for epiphanies and for sexual and physical connection; how we grow with songs and songs grow inside us helping us come to terms with grief getting older and powerful memories. It is about music's power to help us tell our own stories whatever they are and make them sing.
