Season Of Glass
ReplyDelete‘Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Music was my salvation. I am thankful for all the help I got on this album from above & around. Thank you Phil. Thank you Hugh, Slick, George Anthony, Andy, Tony, David & Arthur. I hope your beautiful talent and love will shine through this album. Thank you Ed, Jon, Fred & Jerry, for your warm support. Everything went so well because of all your love and care.
When I started to sing I noticed my throat was all choked up and my voice was cracking. I seriously thought maybe I should quit making the album because, as some people had advised me, “It was not the time”.
But the question was, when would it be the time? I thought of all the people in the world whose voices were choking and cracking for many reasons. I could sing for them. I could call it a “choke” or “crackle”. Well, wasn’t that what the critics had been saying about me for all these years anyway? That gave me a laugh, and it became easier. Many amazing things happened during the recording session. All I can say is that John was right therewith me, busy trying to arrange things for me. That is why this album is not dedicated to him. He would have been offended. He was one of us.
Love,
Yoko Ono
