Producer Bibles

Intro­duc­tion

Today I’m going to talk about books. More specif­i­cally books that I believe every pro­ducer should have in his library. All of these books are the most pop­u­lar ones in their cat­e­gory on Amazon.com and as such, I think that’s a good indi­ca­tion of their qual­ity, which is why I’ve included them here. The books cov­ered are as follows:

  • The Dance Music Man­ual: Tools, Toys and Techniques
  • Com­plete Idiot’s Guide to Music Theory
  • How to Make a Noise: A Com­pre­hen­sive Guide to Syn­the­sizer Programming
  • The Mix­ing Engineer’s Handbook
  • Mas­ter­ing Audio: The Art and the Science
  • How to Write a Hit Song: The Com­plete Guide to Writ­ing and Mar­ket­ing Chart-Topping Lyrics & Music
  • How to Be a Hit Song­writer: Pol­ish­ing and Mar­ket­ing Your Lyrics and Music

Phenex — Love Song

Angels In My Head

Come show me the way
I wanna see the world with dif­fer­ent eyes
From another point of view

I need you to stay
Because I’ve come to see inside my mind
All I’ll ever want is you

When we’re danc­ing together in a ray of light
Is when I need you to hold me through the end of the night
And I’ll always remem­ber every word you said
When I’m fly­ing together with this angels in my head

So Naive

You opened up your heart to me
But I was too blind to see
I wasted all your time
You always called me every day
But my mind was always away
I’m strug­gling to get by

I’m sorry I was so naive
We never should have been apart
I never meant to make you leave
I never meant to break your heart

You made me feel so strong
But I treated you wrong
My heart was made of stone
You gave all your emo­tion
But I gave you no devo­tion
And now I stand alone

Holding On

I’m hold­ing on to the mem­o­ries of you
I know you can’t be replaced by some­one new
What I think about all of the time
Is the only love that I’ve ever left behind
