Sister Morphine meets Pink Floyd!
The title track of Yoko's 1971 masterpiece, this song is a beautiful ache. Turning the expansive optimism of John's "Across the Universe" inward, she describes a young woman's internal war with addiction and loneliness.
Yoko writes amazing lyrics. They are clean and clear, almost haiku in their ablity to nail the essence. She has few rivals in Rock for writing simple lines that are so complex and provacative.
Supporting her are the New Yok band, Elephant's Memory. The soaring guitar lines, which are reminescent of David Gilmour's arcing ache, are the work of Wayne Gabriel. While John was brilliant at skronky punk and grungy blues chords, Gabriel brought a sympathetic beauty to the varied styles on this album that expanded the pallette. Highly overlooked.
This double album is her "Blonde On Blonde" or "White Album". It has an amazing variety of pop styles and poignant lyrics, and is well worth the purchase!

This is perhaps her best song! I love this song!!! I never tire playing this song and the whole album is a Classic. Her heart for people is very amazing. And her love for Created things in our World like the Wind the Sun the Moon water air all these things in our Universe she is fascinated with and writes words and music that makes you appreciate all of life.
creamstripe it is great that you appreciate Yoko and her great works. Her lyrics are as powerful as Dylan or any poet in my lifetime. The music is great and her lyric is great, but Yoko's heart of love for people (abusive events that women have experienced} are clearly expressed in songs like "what a bastard the world is", "Yang Yang", and her best song "the Kite Song" reflect images of terror, fright in visionary scenes that make you appreciate Yoko's Artistry of Brilliance.
You are right! You have experienced her heart and soul. The title track Infinite Universe reveals Yoko's love for people who have been victimized by tragedy through abuse and drugs in a way that Legendary musicians like Dylan could not write as explicit as this song of Yoko's. Is she a folk singer? She is more. Is she an Artist? She is more. Is she a poet? She is much more. Yoko Ono can relate to hurting people's tragedies and writes them down in lyrics that make me appreciate Yoko very much!
Other masterpieces on Yoko's Infinite Universe Album are Death of Samanta, Catman, Smashing My Face, I Have a Woman inside My Soul and my favourite The Kite Song and the start of her Album Yang Yang is just the beginning, Her song "what a bastard the world is" brings out Yoko's great ability to write scenes of a woman being abused and tormented by an overpowering husband. In the end of the song is a twist - Yoko admits there is a long way to go for equality. This piece of music is a classic.
