About this product
Product Information
The book that EVERY music fan will want this Christmas: an unforgettable examination of the songs we all cry along to What is it about depressing songs that make such a lasting impression on people's minds - the lyrical tugging of the heartstrings? The melancholy melody? If you're a true connoisseur, these elements are just the beginning, as Tom Reynolds illustrates brilliantly in this addictive book. With a heavy heart and a tear in his beer, Reynolds painstakingly analyses the mysterious allure of songs that crush our spirits by looking at 52 depressing songs - from top-10 hits to cultish dirges - that have earned our slavish devotion over the years. Breaking up his list into 10 categories of gloom and doom - from Teenage Car Crash anthems to She-Hates-Me-I-Hate-Her ditties - the author pines away over musical elements before digging in to reveal the suicidal heart of each and every song - a list that includes artists as diverse as Joy Division, Bobby Darin, Counting Crows, Evanescence, Bruce Springsteen and Barry Manilow. Complete with a ranked countdown from 52 to 1 and wonderfully dreary black and white line drawings throughout, I Hate Myself and Want to Die is a must-have compilation of melodic misery - and a perfect Christmas gift.Product Identifiers

Laugh-out-loud roasting of pretentious pop songs
A Laugh-out loud funny book, albeit aimed at an American audience so a lot of the pop-culture references went over the head of this British reader. However, with witty and pithy writing in a nicely compact hard-backed book and cover, a great value purchase which - despite the title - certainly helps drive the blues awayVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great book
A family friend couldn't find this book anywhere and so asked me to get it. I've never read it, but he wanted a copy for himself and a friend, so it must be good!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
