If There is No Meaning, There Will Be No Swing
About This Novel
Haruki Murakami's first true music essay, an in-depth understanding of Murakami's musical world. Even if the moon disappears, even if you are abandoned by your lover, even if you are laughed at by a puppy, you can have nothing but music. Without the warmth of memory, our lives on the third planet in the solar system would inevitably become an unbearably cold thing. Because of this, we fall in love and sometimes listen to music like we are in love. Follow senior music critic Haruki Murakami to experience the possibility of synaesthesia between words and music art. This is Haruki Murakami's first purely musical essay. Murakami carefully selected 11 famous songs from all classic music scenes and wrote the article, which is full of emotions about music and provides an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of Murakami's music world. From Schubert to Stan Gates, from Bruce Springsteen to Goo Suga, these ten essays reveal the good music in Murakami's heart.

For the author, although music is abstract, it has a soul. It is like a friend telling him that he also likes listening to music, which is not a good thing.
There are books and music, which should be richer than the author's daily life. Both of them have extraordinary philosophies. This kind of life is also a life that many people yearn for.
Music 🎶 is something everyone has heard, no matter good or bad, but in the face of this music, the author used his own musical views to compose a book for us. This is also the author's affirmation of his own strength.
