  • Lyricist's Lyrical Lyrics: Widening the Scope of Poetry Studies by Claiming the Obvious
    Paper from the Conference “Current Issues in European Cultural Studies”, organised by the Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS) in Norrköping 15-17 June 2011. Conference Proceedings published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=062. © The Author. Lyricist’s Lyrical Lyrics: Widening the Scope 1 of Poetry Studies by Claiming the Obvious Geert Buelens Utrecht University/ Stellenbosch University [email protected] Poetry is all but absent from Cultural Studies. Most treatments of the genre tend to focus on canonized poets whose work is wilfully difficult and obscure. Alternative histories should be explored, opening up possibilities to view poetry again as a culturally relevant art form. The demotic and popular strain provides a case in point. From the Romantics onwards modern poetry linked itself with oral or folk traditions like the ballad. Socially the most popular of these forms is the pop lyric. Since the 1950s rock lyrics have been studied in Social Studies, Cultural Studies, Musicology and some English Departments, but rarely within the context of Poetics or Comparative Literature. Rap and canonized singer-songwriters like Dylan and Cohen are the exceptions to the rule. Systematic attention to both lyrics and performance may open up current ideas of what a poem is and how it works. 1 This article is the non copy-edited draft of a paper presented at the 2011 ACSIS conference ‘Current Issues in European Cultural Studies’, Norrköping, 15-17 June 2011 within the session ‘Revisiting the Literary Within Cultural Studies’. 495 LYRICIST’s LYRICAL LYRICS: WIDENING THE SKOPE OF POETRY STUDIES BY CLAIMING THE OBVIOUS Listen – I’m not dissin but there’s something that you’re missin Maybe you should touch reality KRS-One/Boogie Down Productions, ‘Poetry’ (1987) (in Bradley&DuBois 2010, 145) It is a truism of sorts to claim that Cultural Studies tries to understand the world we live in and to explain how cultural artefacts both reflect and construct that world and its inherent political tensions.

  • Songwriters and Lyricists Are Also Performers Themselves, but Who Make a Healthy Living Off Selling Their Lyrics Or Complete Songs to Other Artists
    Freestyle Note: Kia ora whanau – use this space to write a message & let your loved one know why you thought they’d be interested in this article. Lyricist v Songwriter 2-4 Some of the greatest teams in musical history have consisted of an artist and his or her favorite Lyricist or Songwriter. In many cases, Songwriters and Lyricists are also performers themselves, but who make a healthy living off selling their lyrics or complete songs to other artists. A fantastic example of this is Linda Perry, who first broke into the music industry as the lead vocalist for 4 Non Blondes but who's also written a mountain of hits for other singers. We'll take a close look at Linda's work in articles 3 & 4. To help you get a better understanding, here's some examples of famous lyricists and songwriters: Songwriters • Kesha is best known as a pop star in her own right, but as a Songwriter (she plays guitar and piano), she's written tracks for Britney Spears (“Till the World Ends”), Big Time Rush (“Windows Down”) & even Alice Cooper (“What Baby Wants.”) Linda Perry The Opal Place - Your place of Inspiration • Linda Perry began her career in ‘90s rock band 4 Non Blondes, but soon built a booming songwriting career on the strength of her work with stars like Christina Aguilera (“Beautiful”), Gwen Stefani (“What You Waiting For?”) and Pink (“Get the Party Started”). • You might not know the name Max Martin, but you've definitely heard his work. The Swedish Songwriter and Record Producer has racked up twenty-two number one hits on the Billboard charts.

  • “Lyrics” As a Type of Text for a Musical Work
    6JSC/ALA/13 July 25, 2012 Page 1 of 8 TO: Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA FROM: John Attig, ALA Representative SUBJECT: Revision of RDA instructions relating to librettos and lyrics for musical works (RDA 6.2.2.10.2, 6.27.4.2, Appendix I.2.1, and Glossary) ALA proposes the following revisions relating to access points for librettos, lyrics, texts, etc., of musical works. These issues were identified as high priorities by the Canadian Association of Music Libraries/Library of Congress/Music Library Association’s RDA Music Revisions Facilitation Task Force. The proposal was developed by the Bibliographic Control Committee of the Music Library Association, and has been endorsed by ALA. “Lyrics” as a type of text for a musical work In RDA, the authorized access point for a libretto or other text of a musical work must be formed by using the access point for the author of the libretto or other text, followed by the preferred title for the libretto or other text. Whereas AACR2 provides an alternative for librettos and other texts to be entered under the composer’s name, RDA does not provide this alternative. RDA 6.27.4.2 instructs the cataloger to create a variant access point for the libretto or other text by combining the access point for the composer of the musical work with the preferred title of the musical work. This is to be followed by the term Libretto, Librettos, Text, or Texts as appropriate. There have been some questions raised as to why the term Lyrics could not be used as part of this instruction.
