Mrs Lennon


Una bellissima e potente canzone, a mio parere la migliore di Yoko Ono, che qui sfodera una voce incredibile, un po' Nico un po' Lana Del Rey ante litteram (non si capisce perché in tante altre occasioni si limitasse a urlare).

L'argomento della canzone è la figura pubblica di Yoko, che veniva vista semplicemente come la "Signora Lennon", la strega responsabile dello scioglimento dei Beatles, e non come un'artista indipendente dal marito.

Ma la canzone, scritta nello stesso anno di Imagine e il cui video appare anche nel film del 1972 ispirato all'inno pacifista di Lennon, ha anche un chiaro riferimento alla guerra - probabilmente il Vietnam. I nostri figli, i nostri figli, dovevano proprio andare in guerra?
Mrs. Lennon, o' Mrs. Lennon
Checking the sky to see if there's no clouds
There's no clouds
O' then, I guess it must be alright

Mrs. Lennon, o' Mrs. Lennon
Making the tea and watching the sea
There's no waves
O' then, I guess it must be alright

Silver spoon, o' silver spoon
I lost my silver spoon

And our children, o' our children
Did they have to go to war?
Yes, my love, it's okay
Half the world is always killed you know

Husband John extended his hand
Extended his hand to his wife
And he finds, and suddenly he finds
That he has no hands

They've lost their bodies!
They've lost their bodies!
Yes, they lost their bodies

Neither of them, o' neither of them
Ever left each other
Yes, my love, it's okay
Half the world is always dying you know
