This book will greatly appeal to anyone interested in Jack’s music and how he develops lyrical ideas into songs. Inside you will find fourteen of Jack’s lyrics and poems, each one beautifully illustrated by the Norwegian illustrator, Atle Lillehovde, providing visual interpretations to Jack’s sometimes haunting and esoteric words.

The book also contains commentary from Jack where he discusses his songs, where the inspiration for the song came from, and the meaning behind some of his more surreal lyrical images.

It provides the reader with a fascinating insight into Jack’s songwriting mind and makes the experience of listening to his debut album much more profound, as the reader begins to understand the subtle nuances behind some of his lyrics, and the sometimes complex stories behind some of his songs. 

The book also includes two short stories written by Jack. “All Along” beautifully describes the story behind the first song he ever wrote, and his early introduction to music. “Being Inside Abbey Road”, recounts Jack’s first visit to the legendary recording studio, and how he felt about being in the same room the Beatles recorded in. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes poetical, these immensely entertaining short stories provide a beautiful ending to this wonderful collection of lyrics and poems.
