Fun lists with interesting stories, facts and cool illustrations of songs and artists, in English and with Spotify codes.

From rockers to ravers, The Illustrated Book of Songs is the book every music lover will want. In quick-witted style, Colm Boyd navigates us through lists of classic songs for every occasion. Prepare yourself for fascinating facts, cool illustrations and clever commentary on songs presented in lists such as:

  • Songs about Getting Dumped
  • Songs about Prostitution
  • Songs about Environmental Matters
  • Songs about Being a Complete and Utter Asshole
  • Songs about Gender Identity
  • Alternative Christmas Songs

The Illustrated Book of Songs features 70 lists, discussing hundreds of songs from different genres and artists - from Adele to Aretha, Jagger to Jarvis, Rufus to Rosalía. Some deal with death, others deal with zebras, one song deals with prostitute-frequenting chess players in Bangkok. Each of the book’s lists is accompanied by a scannable Spotify code, allowing readers to use their smartphones to directly access the songs mentioned.
