I had this record (remember those?) as a child. I just found this tonight and let my 21 year old daughter listen to it. I used to really like the song and I still do. If you ask me why? I can't quite put my finger on it. Just always have. Boy, I wish I still had that record. :-)
I wonder if anyone care's that this was one of my fellow Canadian's who wrote this. Great book, don't let the song turn you off. Although I kinda like Yoko...shhhh
What a bunch of unlistenable hippie bullshit from the most hideous tone-deaf wench the world has had the displeasure of having to endure. Anybody who could think this has any redeeming qualities whatsoever is a fucking idiot.
"Mad About You" staged an episode built around Yoko Ono, who did not appear in the show. But soon she'll make her TV acting debut on the program.
Last Friday the widow of John Lennon taped a guest shot for the Nov. 12 episode. In it, playing herself, she convinces Paul Buchman (Paul Reiser) to make a film based on one of her ideas. Reiser and show producer Billy Grundfest wrote the teleplay.
We're singing the choral version of this at my high school. It's a really fun and involved song but, our version is way slower and more madrigal-ish. This is kinda childish sounding but, I guess it's a certain taste. Lol
Awesome! One of Yoko's best. To me this sounds like something that fellow Apple records artist of that time Mary Hopkin would have recorded. I have the original 45 of this.
very sweet. I sang this to my 2 year old grandaughter last week while we were sitting in the park. A sudden breeze moved the leaves of the tree behind us and the song just popped out of memory. Ruby loved it and made me sing it over and over again till she began to join in. Priceless. I'm going to show her the video, thanks. x
Nice melody by Yoko. Her simple lyric has a pattern for her songs with a three stanza and three ideas that unite into one. In this case the wind, the smile, the dream is united to our world. Yoko has this visual brilliance in a lot of her songs.
OK, Yoko, I'll film the wind for you! See my video response. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. But the wind is a tricky thing, and to capture it as it is being released from the invisibottle rarely coincides with having a camera on hand. The sand moving like a mirage reminds me of something from the 60's. how About You? r u Mad? Thought that might get a Reiser out of you! It's no "Twister", but it sure is real Wind. All I Am Saying is Give my Wind Video a Chance! Please ;) Peace, out.
John always had difficulty setting the instruments and melody to accommodate Yoko's flat singing voice. This said, what he gives us here is atmospheric charm made up of Yoko's wistful sounding voice backed by a medieval style of instrumentation. The song makes me pine for my 1960s youth. Thanks for posting it.
I think you've got a point there. Yoko was sort of like a sound effect for John. If one thinks of her voice being edited into a whole composition where it creates the right mood--weird, wistful, etc.--one can appreciate her much better than if her work is meant to stand on its own and compete with professional pop music or vocals. Singing, she's like a character in a play written by John, or herself and John. As such she can be fascinating and moving.
this is a very unusual and so simple but effective

Yoko, as a child I heard this song and others. Lucky you hung on to John. Stay in the art world. Spare us anymore pollution.

Funny. When I was a youngster, I used to think this song was so lame, and Yoko's voice in it sounded so retarded. How wrong I was...
