It first appeared on the 1980 album Double Fantasy. ‘Woman’ came about because, one sunny afternoon in Bermuda, it suddenly hit me. I saw what women do for us. Not just what my Yoko does for me, although I was thinking in those personal terms. Any truth is universal. If we’d made our album in the third person and called it Freda and Ada or Tommy and had dressed up in clown suits with lipstick and created characters other than us, maybe a Ziggy Stardust, would it be more acceptable? It’s not our style of art; our life is our art… Anyway, in Bermuda, what suddenly dawned on me was everything I was taking for granted. Women really are the other half of the sky, as I whisper at the beginning of the song. And it just sort of hit me like a flood, and it came out like that. The song reminds me of a Beatles track, but I wasn’t trying to make it sound like that. I did it as I did ‘Girl’ many years ago. So this is the grown-up version of ‘Girl’. John Lennon, 1980 Rolling Stone In the studio Lennon referred to ‘Woman’ as an “early Motown/Beatles circa ’64 ballad”. While he recorded his vocals he declared: “I feel like I’m still in the fucking Beatles with this track”. However, the studio recording was far slicker than anything The Beatles ever recorded; from the polished production to the key change, this was Lennon at his most commercial. #doublefantsy #johnlennon #woman
