r/YokoOno

This track sounds like it was written and recorded in 2078

Got DAMN that middle jam. When Ringo hits the cymbals at 1:30 I completely lose my shit and become air drums. And that fucking bass man. Like Lemmy sitting in with P-Funk. From 4:16 on. Damn

Yoko’s vocal is 2001-monolith-on-the-moon-esque. Deep and catastrophic vibes. It obliterates any criticism of her as a singer. Nobody better criticize that shit and then go listen to Kate Bush or the Cocteau chick. The entirety of womens’ indie punk has its feet in this track.

You know damn well Thurston Moore was paying attention to that guitar too. It presages sampling by hypnotizing the fuck out of you, like John was doing a darker version of the zoned-out repetitive riffs he was doing on I Want You, Because and Carry that Weight. But the song’s structure is the real hero - what the actual fuck. I have long thought, probably incorrectly, that this was Yoko’s answer to those multi-part epics Paul was fond of doing at the time like the Abbey Road thing or the complex shit he would later on Ram and Band on the Run. Like she was actually trying to write a rock song with multiple parts, and killed it. Just a theory

A total game changer for those who were paying attention

I just want one, so bad.
