Songs For A Better Future - Listening Companion (Benjamin Koll Listening Companion Books)

This book will be your listening companion to Songs For A Better Future, my first musical album. We will travel together through the seventeen songs discovering pictures, stories, the lyrics and much more. Lay down and relax, it's time to begin our dream together. One of the things I most enjoy about creating music is that moment when you sit down with a friend, listen to the new songs, and talk about them. I decided from the start I wanted you to enjoy my music the same way, so it makes a special moment for you too. That's why I have written this listening companion. I'll be introducing you each song in order, first the lyrics, then sharing insights, motivations and feelings about them, and of course pictures and illustrations inspired by them, because I believe music must be an experience for all the senses. My advice: get confortable and isolate yourself from the world, let's escape together for 74 minutes. The album is called Songs For A Better Future because music was a huge part of my inner life since my childhood, and though I think I was lucky enough to be surrounded by so much talent in the seventies and eighties, there was always something missing that made me feel alone and kind of alien in the world. Not many songs really talked about me, about what I felt or liked. I was always looking for secret messages or answers in my favorite artists, but I got few. With this collection I tried to give new generations those songs I would had love to hear when I was a child growing up, hoping they will feel less alone and more happy. This is what you'l find inside the book: 92 page paperback color illustrated book More than 50 photographies, including covers of previous and future singles All the lyrics of the album Production notes, album credits and insights on each song Introduction by Juan Belmonte Foreword by Jose Spinnin Cortes Expanded artwork In Jose Spinnin Cortes' own words: On this book, Benjamin Koll takes you song by song on a very personal journey to the very core of each piece. This book finally answers to what I think is one of the most difficult, commonly asked questions to creative minds yet, not always answered accurately: what inspires you? It is difficult because you can not answer this lightly, and you usually leave things behind for one reason or another. On this book however, the artist himself will take you on a one-on-one journey through the music as you listen to, and will let you know what his true feelings are behind his pieces. Something not found very often nowadays.
