The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain
The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain: Lyrics for Stacey Kent | Kazuo Ishiguro
3 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
From the Nobel Prizewinning author of Klara and the Sun and Never Let Me Go comes a gorgeously illustrated volume of lyrics written for the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated jazz singer Stacey Kent. Memorably introduced by Ishiguro himself, The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain collects the lyrics of sixteen songs he wrote for world-renowned American singer Stacey Kent, which were set to music by her partner, Jim Tomlinson. An exquisite coming together of the literary and musical worlds, the lyrics are infused with a sense of yearning, melancholy, love, and the romance of travel and liminal spaces. Further exploring the notion of collaboration and interpretation, the collection is illustrated by the acclaimed Italian artist Bianca Bagnarelli, whose work perfectly captures the atmosphere and sensibility of the songs.

I‘m combining #TuesdayTunes with my review because this book is a collection of song lyrics sung by Stacey Kent with accompanying art that is beautiful. Ishiguro was a song writer before a novelist. Reading while listening while looking at art was such a fun experience. Romantic and sentimental, beautiful sadness if that‘s your thing (it‘s mine). A QR code in the book takes you to the playlist in YouTube. I have one below for your pleasure.

Kazuo Ishiguro's collection of the lyrics of sixteen songs he wrote for Stacey Kent is lyrical and emotive. I enjoyed reading through these this morning before getting out of bed. As a bonus the ebook includes a link to the songs on Spotify/YouTube.

#ItTakesAllKinds Day 9: This feels like a #LongDistanceLove kind of book. And illustrated by an Italian artist, no less! How serendipitous. An unexpected find today at La Feltrinelli in Bologna.
