The Work (Limited Cased Edition) : The lyrics of Scott Hutchison
Scott Hutchison / Frightened Rabbit - Book
(2021)
The
Work is a book of lyrics and illustrations by the late Scott Hutchison,
lyricist, vocalist and songwriter of Frightened Rabbit. This limited
hardback edition presents the band's complete lyrics (including B-sides
and rarities) with handwritten excerpts by Scott, alongside his
illustrations, many of which have never been seen before. The book is
meant both as a celebration of and tribute to Scott's unbridled
creativity.
It
aims to fulfil his wishes by being the book that he wanted to create
and had spoken of creating before his death. Readers are advised that
The Work includes content about topics that some may find upsetting,
including references to suicide. "Seeing this book come to life has been
something of a bittersweet experience.
Reading
the lyrics without music really brings home the stark reality of what
Scott was going through and at the same time highlights the talent of
someone who I consider to be one of the best songwriters in the world.
This would've been a different release had Scott been involved but we
all felt it was important that his lyrics be celebrated and given the
spotlight they deserve. As Scott has said, these words were always meant
to be accompanied by music, but the impact of digesting them without is
no less great.
Pick
up this book of words, hold it, share it and immerse yourself in the
world Scott created by opening not only his heart but his whole soul to
the world."Grant Hutchison (Scott's brother and drummer of Frightened
Rabbit)
