A revised and updated version of the artist's collected lyricsAn American original, Patti Smith is a multi-disciplined artist and performer. Her work is rooted in poetry, which infused her 1975 landmark album, Horses. A declaration of existence, Horses was described as 'three chords merged with the power of the word'; it was graced with the now iconic portrait by Robert Mapplethorpe, the subject of her award-winning memoir Just Kids. Initially published in 1998, Patti Smith's Complete Lyrics was a testimony to her uncompromising poetic power. Now, on the fortieth anniversary of the release of Smith's groundbreaking album, Collected Lyrics has been revised and expanded with more than thirty-five additional songs, including her first, 'Work Song', written for Janis Joplin in 1970, and her most current, 'Writer's Song', to be recorded in 2015. The collection is liberally illustrated with original manuscripts of lyrics from Smith's extensive archive.Patti Smith's work continues to retain its relevance, whether controversial, political, romantic or spiritual. Collected Lyrics offers forty-five years of song, an enduring commemoration of Smith's unique contribution to the canon of rock and roll.

Sange, der giver mening. U2 er et af verdens største rockbands og så har de noget på hjerte. Mange mennesker har U2 sange med på soundtracket over deres liv. En sang, som bevægede dem, og kom til at betyde noget for dem personligt. Sådan er det også for forfatterne til denne bog. Vi er personligt ramt af U2, fordi U2 sætter ord og musik på tro, håb, kærlighed, længsel, vrede, frustration og selverkendelse, som vi genfinder hos os selv. Hos U2 kan man finde "a song that makes some sense out of the world" (frit citeret fra "The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)" fra U2s album fra 2014 Songs of Innocence). U2 har siden 1979 udgivet sange, som også er salmer. Gennem 13 albums fra 1980 - 2014 fører U2 en stadig dialog og kamp med sig selv, med os andre og med Gud om livet, døden og håbet. I denne bog vil vi dybdegående se på de tolv sange på U2s tolvte studiealbum "No Line On The Horizon" fra 2009 med et væld af referencer til hele U2s sangkatalog og til øvrig musik, litteratur, bibelen og vores egne livserfaringer. Det er et helstøbt album, som med U2´s egne ord rummer "salmer for fremtiden". Vi har oversat samtlige sange til dansk og disse tekster kan alle læsere rekvirere. Vi håber det også giver en aha-oplevelse. "No Line On The Horizon" kredser om nærhed og afstand til Gud. Spændet mellem nærhed, håb og glæde overfor afstand, sorg og frustration. Det tema vækker genklang i vores egne liv. Slår man lejr i himlen, bliver man verdensfjern og halleluja-frelst. Slår man lejr i gudsforladtheden, bliver man menneskefjendsk og depressiv. U2 formulerer den spænding, som livet udfolder sig i, og som vi som præster forkynder, at Guds kærlighed virker.
