Beschreibung
The song lyrics of Jan Burian have been among the best in modern Czech songwriting poetry since the seventies. From the beginning, they were not only sung but also printed and read as full-fledged poetry. They sparked great reader interest and contemporary debates. The book you hold in your hands summarizes all of Burian's song lyrics. They are not arranged chronologically; the author himself divided them into thematic sections that include texts from various periods. This has its justification: we see that Burian's sung poetry is admirably cohesive, without fluctuations in quality and without wandering into dead ends. Jan Burian is a master of rhyme, solid form, clear and direct naming, and distinct punchlines. The thematic sections highlight different aspects of his talent: alongside love songs, we find existential poetry, social criticism, satire, nonsensical playfulness, seriousness, and spirituality. The QR code next to each text offers the reader an extraordinary and attractive opportunity to connect the text with music and listen to the song.
