»Wunderschön. Eine Liebeserklärung an die Liebe und die Musik. Große Empfehlung!« Bianca Iosivoni In New York auf der Bühne zu stehen, das ist Rileys großer Traum - doch trotz harter Arbeit kommt sie nicht weiter. Als sie einen Job als Kellnerin im Bistro der New York Music & Stage Academy ergattert, ist sie der Musikwelt immerhin ein kleines Stück näher gekommen. Dort lernt sie Julian kennen, der den großen Durchbruch als Musiker bereits geschafft hat. Und obwohl sie sich eigentlich nur auf ihre Karriere konzentrieren möchte, steht ihre Gefühlswelt plötzlich Kopf. Auch Julian ist fest entschlossen, sich von Riley fernzuhalten, denn er hat sich geschworen, sich nie wieder auf eine Frau einzulassen, die auch auf die Bühne will. Durch die gemeinsame Liebe zur Musik kommen sich die beiden dennoch näher. Als ihre Beziehung ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit gezerrt wird und alles droht auseinanderzubrechen, wird Riley schmerzhaft klar, dass das Leben im Rampenlicht auch seine Schattenseiten hat. Der 2.

Books about The Last Song

An ironically upbeat book that asks some of today’s most inimitable musicians which song they would choose to be the last one they ever hear If you could choose the last song you’d hear before you died, what would it be and why? Your favorite song of all time? Perhaps the one you danced to at your wedding? The song from that time you got super stoned and just let the chords speak to you? It’s a hard question that Mike Ayers has thought about for years. In One Last Song, Ayers invites 30 musicians to consider what song they would each want to accompany them to those pearly white gates. Weaving together their explanations with evocative illustrations and poignant interludes—what your song to die to says about you, what songs famous people have died to, and more. The book offers insight into the minds of famous artists and provides an entry point for considering how integral music is to our own personal narratives. Artists Featured: Jim James of My Morning Jacket, André 3000, Killer Mike, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, Phoebe Bridgers, Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire, Sam Beam of Iron & Wine, Colin Meloy of the Decemberists, Wayne

"I am Orpheus, the maker of songs. Great Apollo came to me often and instructed me in the art of melody so that what came from my lyre could touch the heart even of a stone, and when I went to my mother Calliope in her cave she taught me the secrets of making verses that would hold people entranced the way a magical spell might hold them. And so music has flowed from me all my life as though from an inextinguishable fountain, which is to say that there has been music in the world since the beginning of time and that music will endure to time's end, and beyond it to the moment of beginning again; and so it was that a shaggy-haired Thracian princeling entered into his role in the universe." Gifted with the golden lyre, Orpheus--rumored son of the god Apollo, and yet recognized as the heir of Oeagros, King of Thrace--tells us of the tale of his life as he writes songs throughout the known world. From his role as teacher and spiritual adviser to the Ciconian people, to the profound love and loss of his beloved Eurydice, to his quest with Jason and the

A future World Heritage cathedral is being built in Albi, France. Her bishop builder, Bernard de Castanet, is close to realizing his ambitions spiritual and temporal, when “it started again.” Many years into the future, a historian, H. C. Lea, would point to this episode “at the close of the year 1299 the town was startled by the arrest of twenty-five of the wealthiest and most respected citizens.” The resulting Tribunal of the Inquisition convene
