NOTES

Across musical genres, lyrics are how songwriters tell stories. And some of those stories are real doozies. Is Phil Collins' anthem "In The Air Tonight" really about a drowning he secretly witnessed and decided to reveal in song? Is it true The Beatles' "Strawberry Fields" is about a sad orphanage? Why does Miley Cyrus' song "Flowers" sound so eerily similar to Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man"? And who, once and for all, is the mystery man Carly Simon's dissing in "You're So Vain"? In one fun, entertaining collection, we gather the very best of these stories, and show you the secrets hiding in plain sight inside your favorite songs
