...tomorrow I am planning to record a song, "11th Hour Love Song" which I wrote about a sort of last ditch effort to woo a suitor...but not just to get laid or satisfy a need...in this song I am imploring the recipient to "love it while it's still around..."
...during a text conversation with a friend tonight, we discussed John Lennon..."Gimme Some Truth" and "Oh Yoko" are my favorite songs by John Lennon...after texting that line, I was reminded of the purity of "Oh Yoko"...many people take Yoko to the mat in regards to The Beatles breaking up...I say it could be...Yoko could have been a catalyst...but John loved her...
...and that got me thinking about the song I want to record tomorrow...yes, it is a love song...tragic as it may be...but it doesn't speak to the kind of love song I would love to write...writers write what they know...so John wrote about his muse, Yoko...in "11th Hour Love Song", I wrote what I knew...that this relationship isn't going to make it, but I will make one last plea...I hope to one day write of the purity of love and not of the bitter almost-end...
...my love will turn you on...classic and poetic and it really does say it all...oh Yoko, you were blessed...
