For those of us who listen to music for the lyrics, the Jeff Green’s Green Book of Songs by Subject is a gem.  With the Green Book, you can find a veritable litany of songs on just about any subject, from advice (Be Good to Yourself, Journey) to youth (Only the Good Die Young, Billy Joel), and everything in-between. 

Using Green’s book is easy and entertaining.  The Green Book is arranged by major thematic areas, which are broken down into sub-categories.  An index in the back allows users to quickly find their quarry, and the subcategories themselves make for an interesting browse – how many types of songs about love can there be?

Whether you are a DJs or musician looking too create thematic set lists, a music geek who wants to know all the songs about Mondays, or a lovelorn troubadour looking to create the perfect playlist for your broken heart, The Green Book has what you need.
