Customer Reviews

One of the best autobiographies I've read

Michael McClean is one of my favorite songwriters. That said, he is remarkably candid in his autobiography - something that makes this book well worth the money to buy, and well worth the time to read. He composed many of the most widely recognized commercial themes you've heard on TV. As for his songs, well, it's quite obvious that he uses his songs as his "journal". A wonderful insight to a remarkable and gifted man, whose songs have been there to lift me at many of my own most difficult times. Thanks for writing this, Michael!

Helpful Book and Music!

This music speaks to me, and it speaks for me. I could never have articulated the words to reflect my feelings as brilliantly as Michael McLean does but once I heard the words in the songs, I immediately connected. Especially on the feelings of loneliness and fear. I also felt the heartache the young unwed mother felt in giving up her child, all out of love for that child. The music and words, and the stories behind the songs, have helped me better understand my own feelings and then develop much needed hope for a good outcome. Thank you Michael!
