"The song has always felt haunting and profound to me, and is an under-appreciated song in the Ono/Lennon oeuvre," notes Joe. "Although the song was recorded during the week of Lennon's 80th birthday [last month], the track continues to inhabit my dreams, and that's a good thing." He adds, "Not enough people talk about what an incredible singer Yoko is, and interpreting her song was a formidable challenge. It was a thrill to explore Andy Newmark's subtly polyrhythmic drum part and Tony Levin's bass genius, from the time when it was restricted to a mere four strings."
