Popular music is far more than just songs we listen to; its
meanings are also in album covers, lyrics, subcultures, voices and
video soundscapes. Like language these elements can be used to
communicate complex cultural ideas, values, concepts and
identities. Analysing Popular Music is a lively look at the
semiotic resources found in the sounds, visuals and words that
comprise the 'code book' of popular music. It explains exactly how
popular music comes to mean so much. Packed with examples,
exercises and a glossary, this book provides the reader with the
knowledge and skills they need to carry out their own analyses of
songs, soundtracks, lyrics and album covers. Written for students
with no prior musical knowledge, Analysing Popular Music is the
perfect toolkit for students in sociology, media and communication
studies to analyse, understand - and celebrate - popular music.
