Yoko Ono

A decade of dancefloor domination by Yoko Ono’s alter-club-ego, Ono, comes full circle with the release of brand new remixes of her seminal 1981 club/new wave classic “Walking On Thin Ice”. Clubs ignited instantly upon the first notes of the chugging disco bassline, grinding new wav guitars and Yoko’s signature “ay, ay, ay, ay …”  Fast forward to 2003 and major remixes of the single by Danny Tenaglia, Pet Shop Boys, Peter Rauhofer and Felix Da Housecat kicking off Ono’s streak of 10 #1 club hits including “Talking To The Universe”, “I’m Not Getting Enough”, “No No No” and her last chart topper “Hold Me”. Now serving up the first round of the club classic fresh, hot and new for 2013 are master house chefs Ralphi Rosario, Dave Aude and Emjae all giving it their own significant spin.

CHESHIRE CAT CRY

I'm rolling in your dreams
Listening to your screams
The memory is covered by the rain of pain
The boat will float
to end of seas
Taking your memory of pain 

When the Cheshire Cat slowly smiles to us
Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat
The river is drying
Faster than your memory of pain 
"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
Taking your memory of pain with it

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
And the boat will float
to end of seas

"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 

Blood is creating 
A lake of tears of pain
Rain of pain

Stop the violence
Stop all wars
Stop the violence
Stop all wars

Taking your memory of pain with it

"We the expendable people of the United States
Ask for the violence to disappear" 

"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Blood Money will give us independence and power

Stop the violence
I’m rolling in your dreams

Stop all wars
Listening to your screams

Stop the violence 
The memory is covered by the rain of pain

Stop all wars 

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
Cheshire Cat

Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop all wars
Who needs violence?
Who needs war?
Who needs it?
Who needs it?

YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND release the brand new album TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL on Chimera Music on September 17th 2013 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

The album continues an astonishing bout of creativity for Ono, who celebrated her 80th birthday this year and has just curated the hugely succesful Meltdown Festival at Southbank, London. 


"An extraordinary performance by any standard – for a woman in her ninth decade, almost unbelievable" 
Evening Standard, June 2013

The truly amazing YOKO ONO releases her brand new album TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL on Chimera Music on Sep 17th. 

The album comes four years after her previous studio album BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY which received rave reviews and was voted one of Mojo Magazine’s Albums Of the Year. 

That same year Ono was awarded both the Lifetime Achievement Award by Mojo and The Venice Biennale Golden Lion Award for her ground-breaking music and art. 

TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL was recorded in New York and was producedby Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Yuka Honda. 

YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BANDalso includes members of Cornelius and Cibo Matto, plus – for this album – tUnEyArDs, Questlove, Nels Cline and Andrew Wyatt. 

The album includes remixes by Mike D & Adrock and Keigo "Cornelius" Oyamada. 

The record was planned and made during a hugely productive period which saw Ono’s 2012 show TO THE LIGHT at London’s Serpentine Gallery break attendance records; she then went on to open HALF-A-WIND SHOW, a major retrospective in Frankfurt, finish her instruction book ACORN, travel extensively to oversee various museum shows, score her 10thNo 1 hit HOLD ME on the Billboard Dance Chart, actively campaign against fracking in New York State, win the MTV O Music Award for 'Digital Genius' and – most recently – plan the Meltdown Festival at Southbank, London, which she curated. 

Yoko’s curatorship is already being hailed as the best in the 20 year history of the festival which this year included a coruscating opening night performance by YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND, and guest appearances by Ono with Cibo Matto, Peaches, Kim Gordon and a closing night collaborative performance with Siouxsie of Ono’s seminal “Walking On Thin Ice”. 

Meltdown 2013 featured a huge cross–section of artists including Savages, Kim Gordon, Siouxsie, Cibo Matto, Bo Ningen, Thurston Moore, Iggy Pop, Deerhoof, Patti Smith, Peaches, Marianne Faithfull, Boy George, Patrick Wolf, Reggie Watts, Viv Albertine, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pussy Riot and Immortal Technique.

Praise for Yoko’s performance at Meltdown 2013: 

“It’s a heck of a racket for a gal in her eighties – Yoko is the star but the music offers her the sky to shine in” 
The Independent 

“An international treasure shines. Ono has transcended age – she opened Meltdown 2013 with a blistering, thrilling, cutting-edge musical set which not so much pushed boundaries as ignored them” 
Evening Standard 

“Even at 80 Yoko is out on her Ono” 
Observer 

“Octogenarian’s standing elevated to the angel of the avant garde” 
The Guardian 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

MOONBEAMS, the staggering opening track of the new album, was recently previewed on Soundcloud, ahead of its live premiere as the opening song of Meltdown 2013. 

Ono said today: 
“My new album comes at a very special time for me. I’m so happy that it’s being released after all the incredible shows that made up Meltdown. The energy I have right now, and the desire to continue to make as much great work as I can, is really moving me forwards all the time. This album is the culmination of a lot of ideas I’ve been having over the last few years and I feel proud to release it at such an exciting time of my life.” 

Yoko Ono has a major art retrospective HALF-A WIND SHOW currently on view at the Louisiana Museum in Copenhagen, later opening at Kunsthalle Krems, Austria on 20th November 2013, and another major art retrospective WAR IS OVER! (IF YOU WANT IT) opening on 15th November at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. 

TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL is released on September 17th.

BAD DANCER

When your heart is dancing 
Your mind is bouncing
Bounce bounce bounce bounce

I'm a bad dancer
A busy bouncer 
Never touch the ground 
Never make a sound 

I’m a tough lover 
A sweet pusher 
Writing my life with sand 
Waiting too see the land 

Place your bets 
Watch your step 
I’m a bad dancer 
With no regrets 

Break a leg 
Cut the thread 
I’m a bad dancer 
Full speed ahead 

I’m a bad dancer 
You’re a bad dancer 
He’s a bad dancer 
Bad bad bad 

I’m a fast mover 
A straight shooter 
I might bend 
To see the end 
Never say never 
Cause its never ‘never’

Meltdown 2013 featured a huge cross–section of artists including Savages, Kim Gordon, Siouxsie, Cibo Matto, Bo Ningen, Thurston Moore, Iggy Pop, Deerhoof, Patti Smith, Peaches, Marianne Faithfull, Boy George, Patrick Wolf, Reggie Watts, Viv Albertine, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pussy Riot and Immortal Technique.

Praise for Yoko’s performance at Meltdown 2013: 

“It’s a heck of a racket for a gal in her eighties – Yoko is the star but the music offers her the sky to shine in” 
The Independent 

“An international treasure shines. Ono has transcended age – she opened Meltdown 2013 with a blistering, thrilling, cutting-edge musical set which not so much pushed boundaries as ignored them” 
Evening Standard 

“Even at 80 Yoko is out on her Ono” 
Observer 

“Octogenarian’s standing elevated to the angel of the avant garde” 
The Guardian

MOONBEAMS, the staggering opening track of the new album, was recently previewed on Soundcloud, ahead of its live premiere as the opening song of Meltdown 2013. 

Ono said today: 
“My new album comes at a very special time for me. I’m so happy that it’s being released after all the incredible shows that made up Meltdown. The energy I have right now, and the desire to continue to make as much great work as I can, is really moving me forwards all the time. This album is the culmination of a lot of ideas I’ve been having over the last few years and I feel proud to release it at such an exciting time of my life.” 

Yoko Ono has a major art retrospective HALF-A WIND SHOW currently on view at the Louisiana Museum in Copenhagen, later opening at Kunsthalle Krems, Austria on 20th November 2013, and another major art retrospective WAR IS OVER! (IF YOU WANT IT) opening on 15th November at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. 

TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL is released on September 17th.

LITTLE BOY BLUE your daddy’s gone

Yes, I’m a witch I’m a bitch I don’t care what you say,
My voice is real, my words speaks truth, I don’t fit in your ways.
I’m not gonna die for you, you might as well face the truth
I’m gonna stick around for quite a while.

We’re gonna say we’re gonna try, we’re gonna try it our way.
We’ve been repressed, we’ve been depressed, suppression all the way.
We’re not gonna die for you, we’re not seeking vengeance
But we’re not gonna kill ourselves for your convenience.

Each time we don’t say what we wanna say, we’re dying.
Each time we close our minds to how we feel, we’re dying.
Each time we gotta do what we wanna do, we’re living.
Each time we’re open to what we see and hear, we’re living.

We’ll free you from the ghettos of your minds,
We’ll free you from your fears and binds
We know you want things to stay as it is
It’s gonna change, baby.

It’s gonna change, baby doll
It’s gonna change, honey ball
It’s gonna change, sugar cane
It’s gonna change, sweetie legs
So don’t try to make cock-pecked people out of us.

The Flaming Lips with YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND - Do It!

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor i.
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.
  
Oh, wind, wind,
Wind, wind, wind.
 
Who has seen a laugh?
Only me and john.
But when a smile goes round the world
Our love is catching on.
 
Oh, smile, smile,
Smile, smile, smile.
 
Who has seen your dream?
Only you and him.
But when the world gets bright and clear
You know that we were there.
 
Oh, world, world,
World, world, world.


First verse by Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
Originally released as the B-side to John Lennon's "Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)".

Yoko Ono - Who has Seen the Wind

Yoko Ono - What A Mess

The Late Greats - Sleigh Ride from the album 'It's Not Like Christmas'
As seen in the US Blockbuster movie 'New Year's Eve'

A raw and unapologetic cover of the Christmas classic. The Late Greats have smashed the beautifully sweet original version to pieces and stamped their indie pop footprint all over it. Still remaining true to the original recording, yet incorporating a festive spirit that is true to this day and age, the song is filled with wooohs, woops, whistles and there is no question that those boys had fun making this song. This version includes everything you could ever hope for on your Christmas Sync wish-list:
(0.39) Electric guitar sings the melody
(0.53) Cheeky bass breakdown 
(0.58) Vocal breakdown with bass
(1.08) Songs lifts with full band
(1.20) Instrumental guitar chords
(1.42) Electric guitar sings the melody
(1.51) Key change lifts
(2.14) Distorted whistling

Music: Leroy Anderson
Lyrics: Mitchell Parish

SLEIGH RIDE
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling 
Ring ting tingling too. 
Come on, it's lovely weather 
For a sleigh ride together with you.

Outside the snow is falling 
And friends are calling 'Yoo-hoo.'
Come on, it's lovely weather 
For a sleigh ride together with you.
 
Our cheeks are nice and rosy 
And comfy cozy are we 
We're snuggled up together 
Like two birds of a feather would be.
 
Let's take that road before us 
And sing a chorus or two 
Come on, it's lovely weather 
For a sleigh ride together with you.

MOONBEAMS by Yoko Ono 
Winter 2012/2013

Moonbeams melting
Into my blood stream

In winter
The snow protected us
Covering our pain

Now I hear ice cracking 
Slowly in my brain

My heart is ruminating your sweet words 
While my hand’s strangling the birds

People are planets
Their souls are suns
Orbiting the dance floor
Of our cosmic club

Storm clouds were raining
But now they’re gone
My spirit appears like the sun at dawn 

Moonbeams spreading their wings
Shining my rings 
I got from my three husbands
Who all made me housebound

My heart is ruminating your sweet words 
While my hands are skinning the birds.
Spring is here again
Your heartbeat is calling me
