The Beatles - The Word

Copyright - 1965 EMI Records Ltd.

"The Word" is a song by The Beatles first released on their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It is often cited as the first instance in which The Beatles began writing about love in more abstract terms, versus concrete girl/boy terms, a la "She Loves You." In the lyric, "the word is love," and the singer preaches, "Say the word and you'll be free."

Though officially credited to Lennon/McCartney as were all songs by either of the duo, the song is primarily a John Lennon composition and is in fact one of Lennon's first attempts at an anthemic political song, although the politics are obscured by references to love rather than any more overtly political messages. It did, however, point the way to Lennon's later songs espousing the power of love to overcome barriers (such as "All You Need Is Love").

Musically, the song is based upon a driving rhythm with few chord changes and a simple melody in the key of D major. Paul McCartney said of this song, "John and I would like to do songs with just one note like 'Long Tall Sally'. We get near it in 'The Word'".

George Martin plays the harmonium solo in the track. McCartney, Lennon, and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony, with Lennon singing the middle eights.

Samples from this song are also included on Love released in November 2006, in the track Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing.

Recorded Abbey Road Studios

Lyrics:
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?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like be
Spread the work I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Every where I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light

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?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
