ONE: Associating Numbers & Music




Associating Numbers & Music.


Scope of Work:
Publication
Illustration
Content/Writing
Challenge:
Numbers have always played a role in music, but what happens when a single number - one - carries a deeper meaning? From anthems of unity to songs of loneliness, the word “one” appears across genres and decades, shaping how we interpret love, identity, and connection. Yet, no publication has explored its significance across multiple eras and artists.

Insight:
Music is more than a sound - it’s storytelling, symbolism, and emotion. The recurrence of “one” in song lyrics isn‘t just a coincidence; it reflects a universal human experience.

Answer:
One is a deep dive into the cultural and emotional weight of “one” in popular music. Spanning decades and genres, this publication dissects the lyrics, themes, and historical contexts of songs that revolve around the concept of one - whether representing unity, solitude, or individuality.
