Yoko Ono: "Death Of Samantha" (1972)

A great song written by Yoko Ono from the greatest album "Approximately Infinite Universe" in 1972.

"Approximately Infinite Universe" is a double album by Yoko Ono, released in early 1972. It represents a departure from the experimental avant garde rock of her first two albums towards a more conventional pop/rock sound, while also dabbling in feminist rock. It peaked at #193 in the United States.

"Death Of Samantha" (by Ono):

People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool, chick baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool, chick baby

When I'm on the phone, I thank god
My voice sounds smooth and clear
Without a trace of tear
When I'm at work, I thank god
I still have that smile ma used to say lit her day

But something inside me
Something inside me died that day

People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool, chick baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool, chick baby

When I'm with people, I thank god
I can talk hip when I'm crying inside
When I'm with friends, I thank god
I can light a cigarette when I'm choking inside

People say I'm cool
Ya, I'm a cool, chick baby
Every day I thank god
That I'm such a cool, chick baby

A friend lent me shades, so I could
Hide my eyes that day
Was a snowy day, the shades have seen
A lot of things I didn't want to know myself

Was like an accident, part of growing up
People tell me

But something inside me
Something inside me died that day

Yoko wrote this song after an evening party at Jerry Rubin. John had drunk and made love with another woman.

Get real. You are cool Yoko. In the art world you were fantastic before meeting a teeny bopper. Sorry. Love me do when she's doing cut piece, please. Thanks for taking a little boy and making him a pillar. Fluxus is so important. That you melded is a gift that you shared.

@depechemodehome Just because she doesn't sound that bad here doesn't mean she has talent. lol

[sunflowernoo]

Is that Linda Mccartney with Yoko at 3:14 ?

[DSelwyn101]

One of my favorite songs of hers. Glad she's still putting music out there, but I like the original versions better than the modern remixes.
