A 1990s coming of age story of how music rewired a young girl's life.
<p><b>Longlisted for the Penderyn Music Book Prize</b><br><br><b>'Unique, dreamlike and poetic. I <i>loved</i> it.' DEBSEY WYKES, SAINT ETIENNE AND DOLLY MIXTURE</b><br><b><br>It is 1995. In a loft bedroom in North Yorkshire, sixteen-year-old Anna sits on the carpet immersed in the pages of the <i>NME</i>, listening to cassette tapes that she keeps in a shoebox. She is dreaming of living inside the songs. The very same year, British music is about to be transformed and will leap from pop to rave to Britpop. This new universe will change Anna's life.</b><br><br><i>Connection is a Song </i>is a journey through the sounds of the 1990s; the story of a life-defining love of music and the tracks that shaped this girl's journey through the decade. It travels from the impossibly mournful 'Nothing Compares 2 U' by Sinead O'Connor to the delirium of the KLF's '3 a.m. Eternal' via the cartoon swagger of EMF's 'Unbelievable', Madonna's terrifyingly sexy 'Vogue' and the guitar indie heart of the '90s where Elastica's 'Connection' beats Blur and Oasis in Anna's own Battle of Britpop.<br><br>This is a powerful, universal coming of age story - and also a coming out story - about growing up in an English provincial town, with its suspiciously sticky nightclub floors, the lingering smell of Impulse deodorant, kisses that taste of cider and songs that give Anna feelings that she has never felt before. It is the tale of an outsider who, through connections made at gigs, mysterious black feathers and conversations in smoke-filled cars, finds the people and the places that will take her to her life.</p>
