About the work
In this artwork I reverted to my first love of typography in the 1960s. This stencil typeface and the contrasting colours has a 60s vibe.
Say the WORD and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is LOVE?
John Lennon had felt during his youth that "love had been the answer", and had written "The Word" as his "first expression" of the concept. He had felt that love was an "underlying theme of the universe", and that love was fundamental in many things, which had inspired the lyric "In the good and bad books that I have read". The song is credited to Lennon–McCartney, however Lennon had stated that it was "mainly mine". It had marked the first time the Beatles had written a song about love as a concept, which would become important in the band's later work.
