With honesty and vulnerability, Poeppel shares her own experiences of love, loss, joy, and sorrow, revealing how music has been a constant companion through it all. In one particularly moving essay, she recounts the day her father passed away and how the music of Bach helped her to grieve and find solace in the midst of her pain. In another essay, she writes about the birth of her daughter and how the lullaby she sang to her newborn child became a symbol of their unbreakable bond.
Poeppel's writing is lyrical and evocative, and her love of music shines through on every page. She has a gift for capturing the emotional resonance of music and conveying its power to transport us to another time and place. Whether she is writing about the Beatles, Bob Dylan, or Joni Mitchell, Poeppel's insights are both personal and universal. She writes about the songs that have shaped her life, but she also writes about the songs that have shaped all of our lives.
Songs Only You Know is a testament to the power of music to heal, inspire, and bring people together. It is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever been touched by the magic of music. Poeppel's memoir is a reminder that music is more than just a form of entertainment; it is a vital part of the human experience.
