When The Music's Over
RELEASED SEPTEMBER 1st:
This isn’t your usual nostalgic trip through dusty vinyl, favourite bands and chart-topping trivia.
This is the other side of the mixtape.
Siôn Smith grew up under the spell of rock ’n’ roll, raised on posters, power chords and pop culture promises that life could be more than just work and sleep. From glam-soaked club nights to garden-shed epiphanies, from forgotten record shops to magazines that ignited on sight: When The Music’s Over traces the jagged path of a life shaped, and sometimes shattered, by music.
It’s a book about what music does to us and asks the biggest question of all: do we create pop-culture or does pop-culture create us?
It’s about the people we become because of it. The things we carry, the ghosts we choose to dance with and what happens when the songs stop playing and you’re left with nothing but an eerie silence.
Funny, raw, and fiercely honest, this is a love story. Not to a person, but to a feeling. The one you get when the lights go down and your favourite song kicks in.
332 pages • Signed softback with bonus chapters • Also available for kindle (without bonus chapters)
