What if a song could remember its own life? Born in 1892, a single song begins a journey that will span more than a century - far outliving its creator and traveling through every era of recorded music. In the historical fiction novel "My Life as a Song: The History of Recorded Music," the narrator is the song itself - observing, evolving, and experiencing the world as it moves from sheet music to gramophones, from vinyl and radio to today’s streaming age. Along the way, it witnesses the life of its songwriter, Charles Williamson, the rise of the music industry, and the many transformations that shape how music is created, shared, and remembered. Told through a unique and imaginative perspective, this novel blends storytelling with the evolution of music, exploring creativity, legacy, and what it means for art to endure beyond a lifetime. Ideal for readers of literary and music-themed fiction, this novel offers a rare perspective on how a song can outlive its creator - and what it might feel along the way. Read more
