Beschreibung
'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 bands 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 Scotts 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 wouldve
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 (Scotts brother and drummer of Frightened Rabbit)'
