Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band - I'm Going Away Smiling (live)

[01coolio10]

oh wow how goood.

[b0x098]

WTF air violin??? 1:15?

[musicalman1995]

@b0x098 it's called a theremin.

[TheOneartist]

Wow, what happened? Compared to Yoko's other work I've heard, I'm surprised to hear her pull off a serious vocal and a moving piece. Not trash for the sake of "art". It's like John touched her with his talent then.

[lalalives]

This song really touches my heart. She's singing to John...

[Ebonyivorymusic]

Very very deep and nice. Melody is just beautiful.

[rodinasarah]

I love this song. It is so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. Yoko, I just hope this is not a goodbye to John. I hope you know that you will always be in his heart forever. You are truly the same person. When I see you, I see him.

[ellieoc13]

I LOVE ANTONY!!!

[touchandgod]

Antony and Yoko! Hell yes!

Get her, him, Iggy Pop, Bjork, and Mike Patton on a stage man (and if only Beefheart was still alive . . . ). Yoko knows how to collaborate, and she has more vision than damn near anyone, even if said vision is flawed.

[TheLennonLad]

is that a guy singing? im not getting him or her down, they sound great. its just throwing me a little? love you yoko!

[aTrulyPowerfulSpirit]

Seems very likely ir is Anthony of Anthony And The Johnsons

[aTrulyPowerfulSpirit]

Seems very likely it is Anthony of Anthony And The Johnsons

[Ezrawful]

@TheLennonLad HE'S Antony Hegarty from Antony and the Johnsons! :D

[concalo]

just beautiful...can't wait for your next album!

[B3RRYBLAST2]

I've watched quite a few videos of her singing this live, and you can tell how said she is inside about John.

Heart breaking really..

[ringoofoz]

what is that girl playing??

[theponchoman]

@ringoofoz its called a theremin. its crazy. look it up.

[ringoofoz]

@theponchoman thanks!

[drummerinlinetube]

@ringoofoz a theremin

[ringoofoz]

@drummerinlinetube

thanks!

[markWiechmann]

@ringoofoz

It's a 'laser harp', it reads on which height the light is broken and thus creating the matching sound. So you get super fine tuned electronic harp play or what ever sound you would like!

[TheNicholasBrothers]

@markWiechmann Its called a Theremin.

And there are no lasers or lights involved.

[GrooveInYourOwnTime]

@markWiechmann

no, it's a theremin. based on Tesla's ideas, created by Léon Theremin in 1928

[juliafoolya]

@ringoofoz the theremin?

[itzcoatlrod]

Si es posible que le hagan llegar este comentario a Yoko, diganle que le agradesco por todos lo recuerdos que compartio con John , y por todo el tiempo que lo hizo feliz. Thanks Yoko for Sean y ´cause love him a Lennon. Itzcoátl

[mrstodd92]

For God's sake. She didn't kill John - why do people hate her? Yes, she changed him, but she also gave him hapiness. Isn't it the most important? So stop calling her 'witch' and notice, that it's just woman terribly experienced by her life, who also lost her lover, best friend and father her child at the same time. Use your brains, people.

Sorry for my English. I'm just annoyed.

[sLAUGHTER115]

"remember, no tears" such a powerful line to me for some odd reason

[milkbluemilk]

people who hate yoko ono, really don't understand yoko ono. their loss.

[JungleJesx]

Some of you are a disgrace to the human race. It's pretty simple; if you don't like it, don't watch. Leave it for those that appreciate Yoko. She will always promote peace, love, and her art, so you making negative comments will have no effect on her. It's useless ad unwanted. If you are a true fan of John, all you would care about that they loved each other. She's a beautiful woman inside and out.

[DimaZinkiv]

Amazing

[quitejaded]

what instrument is that??

[spanishbeautyPR]

This song just touches me!! :)) She goes Every year to the Parole hearing of Johns Murderer and makes sure they know that she is still living with the pain of his actions!! GOOD FOR HER!!!

[919664]

2:21 what instrument is that lady playing. Shes only moving her hands around/

[Fuduwahluz]

@919664 theremin, it's an electronic instrument using proximity sensors in order to calculate the pitch/volume

[MrCarpenterNoise]

Good bless you forever, Yoko!

[Kaylina1988]

You guys! It's Antony from Antony and the Johnsons! Yes it's a guy. Yes he's gay. But Bjork loves him so he must be great...........Sheesh.

[bickybocky1]

whats with the shades. its pitch dark.Fashion

[martini4948]

Many Thanks...

Nice to meet you

[Rebkyluis]

ilove john lennon beatiful

[lilamedusa]

WTH People? This is Yoko Ono. She's not John Lennon's wife, She's Yoko, her own personal and unique... person.

[dennervideos]

johnlennon ROCKS !!!

John Lennon Imagine is still my all time favorite music video

God BLess

Denner Videos

[misslilianne000]

amazing love him & yoko r.i.p. john

[dvamateur]

This theremin playing is fantastic!

[markustar1831]

I love you Yoko!!! You made John very very happy when you were together and in return he gave us beautiful music . Thank you!

[sukibarafucci]

this made me cry

[punchachristian1]

whats the name of that large middle age man singing?

[pablomauser]

@punchachristian1 He's Anthony Hegarty, from "Anthony and the Johnsons"

[Jabarichonicles]

whose the big guy

[alexlogunov]

А это что за такой Максим-трясучий? Выглядит крайне по ублюдски!

[MrZebra69]

everything else aside, that theremin player is fucking awesome.

[MissChris15]

What instrument was that lady playing it was really cool?

[pablomauser]

@MissChris15 Theremin

[TheGemoProductions]

@youtoo124365 still a better singer than yoko though

[piglomiglit]

I love Yoko, I love Antony

[XzevastianX]

Wow, she is like Bjork's mother!! I like her music

[ishmahal1111]

I love her. She's like a living piece of modern art. idiots don't get it. 

[Julesbekhor11]

Love them both!!

[JedLemon38]

Who's the dude singing with her?

[bigredlevy]

@JedLemon38 Antony Hegarty.

[Kidzilla99]

Whatever happened no individual was obligated to keep going. It's not our place to hate anyone in this. It's greedy to hate someone over this, when none of us are, ever were, or ever will be a part in their personal lives.

[stringlov]

Give peace a chance she's cool

[clovelr]

I that a theramin?

[kylebedient]

@clovelr Yes, it is! It's one of the most beautiful sounding instruments... and also the hardest to play.

[rughekhhi]

@clovelr yes its a theramin

[polkren]

pinche yoko,no mames,ademas de estar gacha de a madres como cantante eres peor,gracias por participar,

[MrCarpenterNoise]

@polkren Pudrete en el infierno, amldito animal. Escoria de la tierra.

[MrCarpenterNoise]

@polkren Pudrete en el infierno, maldito animal. Escoria de la tierra.

[fatblueman]

That was beautiful

[CouganSmith]

Why have Bjork and Yoko Ono not made music together?

That would be rad.

[mmannozzi06]

this was a wonderful performance by Yoko!

[mmannozzi06]

is this song about John Lennon?

is that sean Lennon playing the Piano?

[4FabBEATLES]

John loved Yoko and that's all that matters, it's not society's job to rule other people's lives. Yoko inspired many of Lennon's songs and gave him a son to care for. It's not all Yoko's fault the Beatles broke up and it's not her fault John is dead. People just need a scapegoat for everything so Yoko gets the blame.

[othmane3]

Who is that talented tall guy ?

[urkingod]

@PadrethePio hahaha, you watched it! you loved it!

[brijx]

well said wiltatkansas

[cmoonandstars]

Yoko..I wish you a very happy birthday!!

[Ingridthepoet]

it's a nice song

[grita34]

pinche yoko ono esta fea de a madre

[rareu4532]

Very good song.. I think she singing about "John"...

[beamerZ]

Very good

[OKSteve]

Music is in the soul. This is a beautiful song being performed wholeheartedly by Antony and Yoko. It's different and original.

[WiltatKansas]

I'm sorry if i disagree with any Beatles fan but i love Yoko because she is the only person in the world who reminds me of John Lennon, his sons apart. If i see Yoko Ono in the street i will be impressed, she got the charisma of his husband. In my opinion John Lennon is the best musician, if he was still alive he would be (he actually is the most influential).

[SkillKillz121]

@WiltatKansas i love the beatles and yoko,john and all of the beatles each said that they did not split because of yoko

[urkingod]

@WiltatKansas those who has been insulting Yoko has been insulting John and The Beatles.

[kayllo15]

@WiltatKansas omg i cldnt agree wit u more. i appreciate your kind words so much. its hard to find a true person who adores yoko. i love john and yoko. i think of it as, if u cant love the things that made john happy and then u arent a true fan of john. she was his wife, he loved her and she loved him. they made each other happy and look at the changes that they made together. who wldnt want that

[krosslyn]

@WiltatKansas yoko was the best thing to happen to John. god who would want to be stuck with Paul for zions of years he found love, he escaped the corporate machine the beatles had become. the best compliment my daughter ever got, her husband left a band cannot name it here for obvious reasons, because him being with her did not FIT and she was called Yoko by detractors, they are happily married with a couple of kids and a nissan 350z and he still plays ska and i am proud they called her YOKO!

[Jeffro528]

@WiltatKansas You said "his husband" I doubt that was an accident. Yoko's sexuality has always been at question. Her genitals were hairier than John's on that album cover.

[beatlesfan07480]

@WiltatKansas good fo fucking you yoko ono is nothing but a gold digger

cynthia was a better wife

[WiltatKansas]

@beatlesfan07480 So, what are you doing here, are you a nigger?

[TPapania]

@WiltatKansas You have to be joking if you call this music. My dog's turd performs better then this on the back yard as it dries out. Shes only up there because of John. She fucked up the Beatles and calls this music. Buddy you need to get a new pair of ears. I sound better then this when I vomit. People who think this is talent need serious conselling

[JeleniewskaAgnieszka]

I really like that song...

[soledadluis]

The one who is antonio? I like much since like he sings someone knows his ,your complete name to algun disc of?

[nyingma13]

Dang! I love Anthony's music and had no idea that's what he looks like! I just saw Yoko and Sean and the Plastic Ono Band in Berkeley and they were excellent! Sean can rip it out on the guitar and piano, and Yoko as always, ROCKS! If you don't like her, you don't understand her, so just go back to listening to Jessica and Celine and the other bland, boring excuses for music that are so popular these days. Yoko has gotten by quite nicely without you haters and will continue to do so.

[charvaboy]

Yoko you are beautiful and Antony sings this song so wonderfully with you, sorry Yoko but I shed lots of tears love Deborah xxxx

[Dratini999]

is this Sean on the piano???

[DogSwede1]

Yes

[Dratini999]

Oh yeah I see XD

[Teleportman101]

@Dratini999 i think it is, it looks like him

[gscotm55]

Happy Birthday Yoko Ono! I wish you many more and that they are spent creating all that you do and will.

[boygotchi]

Beautiful. . ..

[xgoggles]

¿por qué todos la critican? la mayoría están molestos por lo que dicen que ella estuvo con john y todo eso, pero yo digo, ya déjenla tranquila, si john la quiso a ella que importa, que tiene que sea fea o todo eso, si john la quería tanto era por algo.

[MrCarpenterNoise]

@xgoggles Concuerdo. Lo que pasa es que mucha gente tiene el cerebro tan seco por toda la musica actual (no digo que no tenga calidad, pero hoy dia, encuentras puras burradas) y por tragarse la version mas popular: que ella separo a los beatles. Pero ya nadie se pone a investigar, que desde antes de que ella apareciera, ya el cuarteto estaba por separarse por las tensiones del grupo. Y si, tienes razon: por algo John la quiso, y eso deberia hacer feiz a sus fans.

Pero bueno, que podemos hacer?

[cheewok]

So beautiful.

I love you! You are a sea of goodness.

[sgtpeppers04]

To say that Yoko Ono broke up the Beatles is to deny their greatness and genius, let alone demote them to weak musicians incapable of dealing with some lady in their studio...with or without Yoko, the Beatles had tension and their breakup would have happened anyway. I highly doubt that Yoko was the cause of their breakup...seriously...the Beatles are better than that...and Yoko is a genius...

Peace

[blazak]

Seeing the Plastic Ono Band on Tuesday!!!

[tommysnello]

what a awesome voice antony

[elreyamuerto]

[gaygreg69]

[angushsiao]

[punkkillah1288]

@angushsiao theremin

[ivanovisk]

theremin

[TubesforDudes]

i'm gonna have to say that inspiration is a matter of individual perception and opinion, and i for one feel like yoko is quite inspiring. she may be odd, but the meaning behind her work is clear to me.

[Hanuki]

Wow, the lyrics are moving, Missing you john lennon all the best to yoko and sean!

[fyrirbyrjendur]

that's amazing, no other words to describe it.

[RagazzaStanca]

i like it.bless her little <3

[rikiisix]

先日　ＴＶで　司会者の質問でジョンの事を

聞かれて　涙ぐんだ気持ちが　なんか

心に迫りました　この曲は知りませんが

なんか　詰まる気がします

[cabinbowman]

its almost like an invisable cello

[muskie4301]

what instrument is that chick playing? anyone? weird .

[bresh83]

it is an theremin. one of the earliest fully electronic musical instruments. 1919 invented by léon theremin.

[godofdeath25]

@muskie4301 theremin... its ... weird

[IfritZero]

that guy was a giant!!!

[Dhammawitt]

antony has quite the awkward mannuerisms. Still like the song..

[youngxay]

I new he sounded familiar. He sang with Bjork on Volta

[meadowqueen]

AMAZING all around! BRAVO!

[roddykings]

Señora Yoko Ono ustè en una lìnea de su canciòn:"le gusta vivir la vida amando"...

Y yo creo que a pesar de lo dificil que esta se nos ponga si no amamos a nuestros hijos y seres querido estamos listo para despedirnos de la tierra el sol y la luna.

Saludos para ustè y todos los suyos.

[Gruehn]

Thank you Yoko for this beautiful song. I love the new album that this song is taken from. Yoko is in great form here. I wish I could have been there and seen this performance live. I love the way Yoko nods her head and smiles up at Antony when singing the words 'we had a good time didn't we'. Lovely!

[NatandDavidLover]

[MontyPython93]

Lovely

Peace <3

[Fifi48]

Nice words and sentiment and the singer really makes it. Reminiscent of Leonard Cohen in a way - maybe the pace. The piano helps the softness of the sound. Sad.

[ClaudeSiroisEdit]

Nice 5*****

[dinborough]

the most beautiful song of 2009

does anybody know the name of the Theremin player?

[fabiopes]

Pamelia Kurstin
