- Woman, which begins with Lennon whispering "For the other half of the sky," was composed as an ode to Yoko and all women. It is featured on his 1980 album "Double Fantasy" and was the first single released by Lennon after his assassination.
In an interview for Rolling Stone magazine on 5 December 1980, three days before his murder,
Lennon said that the song "came about because, one sunny afternoon in Bermuda, it suddenly hit me what women do for us. Not just what my Yoko does for me, although I was thinking in those personal terms... but any truth is universal. What 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. It's a 'we' or it ain't anything." In that same interview, Lennon said that "Woman" was his most Beatlesque song on Double Fantasy and that the track is a "grown-up version" of his Beatles song "Girl".
On the evening of 8 December 1980, John Lennon was shot and fatally wounded in the archway of the Dakota, his residence in New York City. The killer, Mark Chapman, was a Beatles fan who was envious and enraged by Lennon's lifestyle, alongside his 1966 comment that the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus". Chapman said he was inspired by the fictional character Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye, a "phony-killer" who loathes hypocrisy.
Chapman planned the killing over several months and waited for Lennon at the Dakota on the morning of 8 December. Early in the evening, Chapman met Lennon, who signed his copy of the album Double Fantasy and subsequently left for a recording session at the Record Plant. Later that night, Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, returned to the Dakota to say goodnight to their son before an impromptu date night. As Lennon and Ono approached the entrance of the building, Chapman fired five hollow-point bullets from a 38 special revolver, four of which hit Lennon in the back. Lennon was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital in a police car, where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 11:15 p.m. at age 40. Meanwhile, Chapman remained at the scene reading The Catcher in the Rye until he was arrested by the police.

For the other half of the sky
Woman
I can hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all, I'm forever in your debt
And woman
I will try to express
My inner feelings and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
Ooh-ooh, well-well
A master piece. I can't stop crying whenever I hear this music. I wonder how a man can say that his life is in her hands.
Well I will do anything for love but I won't do or say anything like that.
Thank you.
Devo dire la verità.ho72 anni i Beatles mi facevano venire il latte alle ginocchia qualche canzone si poteva sentire mi piaceva solo LP LET BEA

I miss John Lennon i hew see thes plays in New York thes was in 1982 i was at the plays, i did cray of cores
La musica & cuando hacían música 🎶
Esse povo que é feliz faz bem o que quer
"Pitiful?" 😢
Es de no creer cuántos enfermos asesinos que terminan con una vida, cambian la felicidad de una familia, y el curso del mundo
Porque el mundo hubiera sido diferente con jhon en el!!!
👆👆. MUITO LINDA CANÇÃO 😪😪😪😪😪😪😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yoko is 91, turning 92 on Feb.18. All the things that Yoko is accused of are nothing more than John allowing a band to end on his terms, as if he couldn't say no to her.
Мог, мог сказать и прогнать это чучело.....
He did what men have been doing for centuries, hiding behind his woman.
Ciota, zepsuła wszystko!
schade derlebtniechmerschade❤❤😅😅😅
John Lennon un excelente cantante,lastima que Yoko.onno le arruinó.la vida 😢
❤❤❤❤❤
John....
😢
❤💯🎶
Si unique
❤!
I wish you didn't name John's assassin. He doesn't deserve to be part of John's history. "Madman" would've been more appropriate.
Mega bintang dunia Jhon lenon
❤❤❤🎉😊.
Still can't believe he married yoko??
Like sound music
I have a hard time listening to Double Fantasy
Nice video, but there's no need to publish the killers name on here . 🙄
Hindi ako nabibilib sa taong humamak sa panginuon
He was so awful to Cynthia and Julian. Id retink this
THE BeST BEND IN THE WORD,,,,,,,
He was the greatest!
Love him forever 💖
He should have stayed with Cynthia.
❤
Капли для глаз не нужно покупать 😢
