Journalist: Yoko, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was recorded at EMI Studios. IMAGINE was recorded at your Tittenhurst Park home studio in Ascot. How did recording at home affect IMAGINE?
Yoko: Well, a beautiful warm feeling. I think that John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is a very 1)artistic album, but it¡¯s kind of 2)gritty and - it certainly is not a very warm album. Almost sad, in a way. IMAGINE just turned out to be a very warm, kind of beautiful album because we were together at home and we felt relaxed, you know.
Journalist: The Imagine sessions were very well documented on film. Why did you choose these sessions to, to film?
Yoko: It was a 3)fluke, you know. And we didn¡¯t think it was going to be - that important or anything. He said £¢why don¡¯t we film it?£¢ £¢Okay, let¡¯s do it.£¢ And then afterwards we thought that we did something really silly because... the people, the business people were saying, £¢Well, nobody wants to watch, you know, a film that¡¯s a - it¡¯s boring to watch a film of just - going on and on and rehearsing and making a - an album. So this is not 4)commercial.£¢ So we said £¢Okay£¢. And we just 5)chucked it. Well, chucked it meaning it was sitting in storage.
Journalist: The utopian idealism of the song £¢IMAGINE£¢, John claimed that this vision had its roots in your book, £¢6)Grapefruit£¢. How do you think that you influenced it?
Yoko: Well, we were close together, and you know two artists living together, of course we¡¯re going to influence each other. Some of the things that I did 7)rubbed off on him. And that was £¢IMAGINE£¢ I think.
Journalist: Do you remember the first time you heard £¢IMAGINE£¢?
Yoko: Well yes, I was there. We were in the bedroom, in our bedroom in Ascot.
Journalist: Did you have an 8)inkling of - how the song was going to affect people?
Yoko: I knew it was a very important song, and - we were both hoping that people would understand it and it would communicate widely. But we didn¡¯t believe it, you know. I mean, part of us didn¡¯t believe that it¡¯s going to be a big song.
John Lennon: When I was singing and writing this and working with her, I was 9)visualizing all the people of my age group. I¡¯m singing to them. I¡¯m saying, £¢Here I am now. How are you? How¡¯s your relationship going? Did you get through it all? Wasn¡¯t the ¡®70s a 10)drag, you know? Here we are. Well, let¡¯s try and make the ¡®80s good, you know.£¢ It¡¯s not out of our control. I still believe in love, peace. I still believe in positive thinking. While there¡¯s life, there¡¯s hope. Because I always consider my work one piece and I consider that my work won¡¯t be finished until I¡¯m dead and buried. And I hope that¡¯s a long, long time.
