“God” would be a great track to do next. Another lyrically clever and moving song which talks about beliefs, false idols and, of course, the only thing that really matters - love.

Love I was going to say God next, but I very much think Plastic Ono Band album should be heard in one or at least two sittings rather than one at a time here and there. I really hope you give the entire thing a listen in that manner soon... I know you can't do the whole thing as a reaction, but on your own sometime. :) Alternatively to that, I chose Love because it's in a way the complete flip side to Mother. Mother has all the rawness and pain of everything that made him who he was. Love is from when he came out of retirement, and when he was content and happy, finally. Also, it's truly a beautiful song. I know it won't win, but I had to choose it for the reason that it's the result of his life at home with his wife and son for five years before he was taken from the world. It just feels good after hearing Mother.

McCartney, as great of a songwriter as he is - he's very, very rarely opened himself up in the DIRECT way that Lennon did. It's why people feel such an emotional connection to Lennon, even though his output was less prolific - there are very few songwriters who have the courage to let people see their deepest flaws. He did it in his songs and in interviews. He admitted that he beat women ("any woman at all") when he was young and told people he was an emotional wreck, as early as "Help!" with the Beatles. McCartney is wonderful - but he's always been a much more stable guy and a technical songwriter, with any of his own feelings well hidden in obscure lines - whereas Lennon would just say: I'm a mess and here's why. They were both brilliant (as was Harrison, who's songwriting was basically a combination of technical and confessional), but Lennon was the most confessional of the group and especially in his solo work. There's very rarely been a songwriter with so little being hidden. A song like "Mother" (or any of the songs on that album) just makes most of what's made today sound useless.

But you immersing and engaging with it, especially as a musician, changes everything. It's great. And I know this because I have done this with all kinds of music that was before my time, both by a little bit, which I have more access to by knowing older people, and of course movies and whatnot, but also stuff that's much older than that, that my grandparents' or even great-grandparents' generatoons would have known about.

John's mother Julia, gave bird to John as Liverpool was bombed, by the Lutwaffee in Oct'1940 - and left her baby to be raised by her Sister and her husband,....yet, she lived a mile distant. Having one or two parents, or family to raise you,....growing up in ruble....it was better in the Sixties, joy and prosperity again- A number of the next generation did military service, around nations after WW2 (Hendrix,Fogerty, Cash had served -so if they did protest about inequality of society and those who did not serve, some had merit in their understanding and writing.) When The Beatles had "It's getting better" on Sgt.Pepper's LHCB, the line that he used to "beat his woman" yet has learned now,....Paul McC' said years after they would know of Dad's who had been in the War, who were abusive, due to PTSD -or they'd see like Marlon Brando, touch guy in films hitting his Lady for lack of dinner or understanding, in a movie,...."role models" for me, after The War, without really knowing the trauma.

This whole album is beautiful but raw, disturbing. He takes on all the really light, easy subjects of life: God, Love, Mother’s death, Isolation, ….. You have to some time play it start to finish. Here and there you’ll find yourself in tears, even if you know what’s coming. When it’s over you’ll feel like you just ran a Marathon. It’s devastating. How many records can do that to you? It’s the best thing he ever did.
