If you love music and sometimes muse over why it occupies such an important place in your life, you will revel in and happily lose yourself in this glorious jukebox of a book. The chapter titled after a so-so Kate Bush song, “Among Angels” is one of the most powerful. After the traumatic birth of her son, during which she experienced visions of her father, Rogers is a struggling first-time mother, weeping as Bush plays the song, while fretting for her boy. It is a desperately moving moment and, when she later reflects upon it, a cathartic one: “I could let my father support me, but I could also carry on with my life.”Thurman, Leon & Welch, ed., Graham (2000), Bodymind & voice: Foundations of voice education (revised ed.), Collegeville, Minnesota: The VoiceCare Network et al., ISBN 0-87414-123-0 This is a card I must have written to my father the evening after I had seen him for the last time, a day before that week’s new No 1 was announced, and 36 hours before he would unexpectedly die. It is a card that sends a message to me now: that I was telling him that I still had in mind what he’d asked me to do. It is a card I don’t remember, but a card that pins together old, misty recollections in hard copy, in a way that my mind never could. I wrote it on the Monday night, my mother confirms, and she took it into the hospital on the Tuesday. Dad read it on his last full day in the world. Music critic and writer Jude Rogers discusses her book The Sound of Being Human with broadcaster, DJ and psychotherapist Nemone and reveals why music plays such a deep-rooted role in so many lives.

Jim Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in Mel Gibson’s 2004 movie, “The Passion of the Christ,” plays Ballard in the movie. Caviezel did, however, do a July 11 interview with the podcast “ The Charlie Kirk Show,” which is produced by Turning Point USA, an American nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses. Discarding the notion that music’s power begins with the listener rather than the quality of the music, she argues that her bopping in a field near Luton as Kraftwerk play “Radio-Activity” is “a reminder of the revolutionary potential of music to help us communicate with other people”.The controversy heightened Aug. 4 after reports surfaced that one of the thousands of people who contributed funds to the making of the film was charged with being an accessory to child kidnapping. When Loveday hears her father’s or her stepfather’s songs, she confesses that she often indulges herself in the emotions she is going through. “You can move away from this kind of memory, but there’s also something beautifully nostalgic and alluring about it that draws me in and makes me want to stop what I’m doing and embrace everything that goes with it.” David Harper, vocal coach: A passion for the voice that never wanes – Opera article (archived 11 September 2009) Howard, D.M., and Murphy, D.T.M. (2009). Voice Science, Acoustics, and Recording Voice science acoustics and recording, San Diego: Plural Press. We retain unconscious memories from before that age, however. “I mean, I don’t consciously remember my father liking Tubular Bells, but, when I mentioned it to an old friend, who knew him very well, she said: ‘Oh, he loved that, he bought the album, he played it all the time.’ Somewhere in my unconscious, I had made that association, without any direct knowledge that he liked it.” Music wraps you up and comforts you and holds you in a way that not many things do Prof Catherine Loveday

The Sound of Being Human by Jude Rogers | Waterstones

Jude Rogers’s The Sound of Being Human begins in January 1984. She is five years old and standing at the front door of her parents’ house in south Wales. Her father is about to leave for what should be a routine hospital surgery. He’ll be gone for five days – a lifetime for someone that young. Still, five days. Like him – because of him – she loves pop radio. The new Top 40 will be announced the following day. “Let me know who gets to No 1,” he says. He died, just 33, a couple of days later. Years go by, decades. Often, at moments she can’t anticipate, in ways she can’t always grasp, she finds herself caught short, lonely.In terms of the writing, I particularly loved the way in which Jude introduces some of the artists. In the case of Adam Ant, she pictures him standing at the front door, in his full new-romantics regalia, waiting to be let into her world. And that is what we all do when we listen to a new singer/band – well that’s if we like what we hear. Secondly, I really enjoyed how the book would go from Jude listening to an artist for the first time, often in Jude’s pre-adult life, to eventually being able to interview them in her journalism career. For example, the reader meets Jude as she obsesses over R.E.M. as a teenager, and next, here she is getting super nervous about interviewing Michael Stipe years later amidst the band’s split. David Whitehouse I've not read a warmer, deeper or truer evocation of the intense and unique connection between person and song. In untangling her own life, Jude Rogers helped me understand mine. This book is truly beautiful In Jude Rogers’ sweeping, often raw, but decidedly life-affirming book The Sound of Being Human: How Music Shapes Our Lives, she has an exchange with science writer Philip Ball who says: “One of the reasons music is so important personally and culturally, [is] because it can express things that are beyond words.” In many ways, the point sums up Jude’s core proposition for the book.
