Turn Around Bright Eyes

<p>Once upon a time I was falling apart. Now I'm always falling in love.</p><p>When Rob Sheffield moved to New York City in 2001 he was a young widower trying to start a new life in a new town. One night some friends dragged him to a karaoke bar--and that night turned into many nights in many karaoke bars. Karaoke became a way to be someone else if only for the span of a three-minute song and through the sublime ridiculousness of karaoke Rob began to find his voice.</p><p>And then the unexpected happened. A voice on the radio got Rob's attention. And the voice came attached to a woman who could name every constellation in the sky every Depeche Mode B side and could belt out a mean Bonnie Tyler. <em>Turn Around Bright Eyes</em> is a journey of hilarity and heartbreak with a karaoke soundtrack. It's about finding the courage to move on clearing your throat and letting it rip--and how songs get tangled up in our deepest emotions.</p>
