Adventures In Songwriting

A songwriting memoir from bestselling author and folk-rock icon, Frank Turner

Taking 36 songs from his back catalogue, folk-punk icon Frank Turner explores his
songwriting process. Find out the stories behind the songs forged in the hedonistic years
of the mid-2000s North London scene, the ones perfected in Nashville studios, and
everything in between. Some of these songs arrive fully-formed, as if they've always
been there, some take graft and endless reworking to find 'the one'. In exploring them all,
Turner reflects with eloquence, insight and self-deprecating wit on exactly what it is to be
a songwriter.

From love songs and break-up songs to political calls-to-arms; songs composed alone in a
hotel room or in soundcheck with the Sleeping Souls, this brilliantly written memoir -
featuring exclusive photos of handwritten lyrics and more - is a must-have book for FT
fans and anyone curious about how to write music.
