We're All Water
"We're All Water" is a song written by Yoko Ono that was first released on the 1972 John Lennon and Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band album ''Some Time in New York City''. It was the last song on the first record of the album, and the last song on the album that was recorded in the studio (the second record was live). Lyrics and music Ono sings the lead vocal. The lyrics of "We're All Water" describe all people as being essentially the same, despite their apparent differences. Some of the lyrics were adapted from "Water Talk," a poem Ono had written in 1967 that also used the simile of people being like water. According to Beatles biographer John Blaney, Ono believed that water had mystical properties and has the ability to "bring about physical change or social unity." As a result, Ono had used water as a theme of other art works, including her 1971 exhibition ''This is Not Here'' where the audience was invited to produce a water sculpture that Ono would work on as well, establishing a ...

Midsummer New York
"Midsummer New York" is a song written by Yoko Ono that was released as the opening song of her 1971 album '' Fly'' and also as the b-side of the single " Mrs. Lennon." Lyrics and music "Midsummer New York" is based on the Elvis Presley song "Heartbreak Hotel." Norma Coates explains that the song begins as an "old-fashioned rock song" borrowing the melody and rhythm from "Heartbreak Hotel" as well as elements from the earlier song's accompaniment. But the references to early rock 'n' roll are undermined by Ono's vocal performance and by the lyrics. The lyrics express "female dread, fear and pain." Ben Urish and Ken Bielen interpret the lyrics as reflecting the "physical and psychological effects of a nightmarish panic attack. Coates feels that Ono's projection of these emotions are enhanced by the continual repetition of the word "shake" and "shaking." Ono restricts her vocal range and even when she nearly screams her words, Coates finds her voice to sound "oddly stifled." M ...
