Music
The best kept secret in music
Press
"Interpreting Chapin's songs is redundant; they are self-explanatory. He writes stories about people, often himself and sometimes his family, and sets them to music. Most of the songs concern loneliness and alienation. A psychologist might say they express the middle-class angst, and it may be significant that they are written by a man who resigned from the Air
Force Academy and twice flunked out of Cornell University, once as a philosophy major."
