I listened to WNYC last weekend and heard Yoko Ono on Soundcheck talking about her new album, Between My Head and the Sky.  She and John Lennon are some of my biggest love heroes and their artistic collaborations have inspired my own creative work.  In 1969 they formed The Plastic Ono Band  and today the 76-year-old Ono is re-launching the band with the help of her son, Sean Ono Lennon.

My favorite song on the new album is “Unun. To.” In this song she recites, “Life becomes like a lover you have been close to / You know him so well and yet every day he gives you a surprise / When you say I love you, remember you are not just saying it to the one you love / you are saying to yourself, the planet and the Universe.”
