NOPE
As a listener of all types of music, I was initially excited about this non-fiction essays centered around music and life's great emotions. Sadly Greenman's Emotional Rescue falls short of expectations--by sprinkling both personal events and song lyrics into one book, he fails to delve into either deeply.The book itself covers 32 essays over 200 pages. Each essay introduces 2-5 songs initially while the narrator describes a pithy theme (e.g. Fear/Bravery) with song lyrics to encapsulate the most poignant moment. Admittedly the range of songs is impressive, and the author’s love for music shines clear. For me, there is a big disconnect between reading the song lyrics on a page versus intimately knowing a song and having it resonate in your life, which is what the narrator intended. After dramatics situations are introduced (breakups, death, observing a sad stranger in an airport), the narrative often dodges by trotting out yet another lyric on paper or by pondering abstract concepts aimlessly (e.g. what is sadness?). Each pithy essay then ends unresolved and empty, leaving me frustrated as the cycle begins again.I wish he had picked a smaller number of topics and expanded on them as characters seem to flit in and out without warning. I wish he had covered the songs themselves more deeply and explained the history in which this song came into fruition. Without either of these, the book comes across as unmemorable and rushed.UPDATE (7/2): I received early access to this book through the Kindle First July books.
There were moments of light in the book which gave me hope to keep reading on but the words became sludge and just wore me down with music trivia and not-so-fun facts that just eventually wore me out. The author loves music, that much is clear, and he has had some interesting views on life through the eyes (lyrics) of music. But his attempt to combine the two seemed at times like he went to his diary and wrote from the heart and just threw musical references in to try to solidify his emotions. The essays and memories were at times so shallow that the heavy and emotional lyrics he tied to them sunk them like an anchor. Also... how many times as an adult does a guy pretend to be asleep?I felt like he intentionally picked songs that 85% of the mainstream public has never listened to in an effort to prove he's a true audiophile.I felt like I was "looking at the names of colors instead of the colors themselves".
I thought that I would receive something different from reading this book. Perhaps suggestions of music that the author had found helpful in dealing with love, loss, and life. The musical recommendations were wide reaching in both time and type of music. Many of the artists I was unfamiliar with (not the author's fault). However, I don't feel compelled to listen to any of the music by musicians that I am unfamiliar with based on this book.There were a couple of essays that resonated with me but overall I can't say that I would recommend this book to friends.
4.5 starsThe free sample gives an accurate sense of the book. Greenman has listened to, and thought hard about, an amazing amount of pop music. He writes intelligently not just about songs, but also about himself:"Over the years, I have come to the galling realization that as I have aged, I need people more. And not people in the abstract: certain people. Friends used to be more fungible: If one went missing, I’d pick up the thread with another one. But then you settle into yourself, and you meet your wife, and you have children, and time sifts whether you want it to or not, and most friends recede. Those few who remain become permanently, irreversibly important. You can act casual. You should. Admitting that other people are important to your survival can feel a little embarrassing, even more so if it’s true.""[L]listening to the problems of people you care about is both altruistic and selfish, in that it exhibits kindness and also illuminates aspects of the human condition, which is vital, especially if you plan to be a writer."And he's clever as well as observant: "[Richard] Thompson is no stranger to depressing lyrics, but these take the cake, douse it in cheap wine, and leave it in the alley to rot."I liked Emotional Rescue enough to buy it for another music fan. I give 4.5 stars rather than 5 because Greenman should've been as tough on lyrics as he is on his own prose. He issues far too many passes to clumsy songwriting. But then, every good rock critic I know of has that flaw.
Not sure what I thought I would be receiving when I signed up for this particular goodreads giveaway; pretty sure it wasn't this though. The author does take a grouping of songs which he lists and gives all information about (thank you) and then proceeds to explain how they are connected in this chapter (i.e. Publicity/Privacy). I enjoyed the book even though I only knew a handful of the artists and even fewer songs. It did take me out of my comfort zone for reading and I am thankful for that.
