Ultimate Classic Rock critic Stephen Lewis rated it as Lennon's greatest solo love song. Other footage of Ono alone, along with photos and newspaper coverage of Lennon's murder, were also included. This footage was directed by photographer Ethan Russell on 26 November 1980. Throughout most of the video, Lennon and Ono are seen walking through Central Park near what would become Strawberry Fields across from The Dakota. In the United Kingdom, 'Woman' replaced Lennon's 1971 track ' Imagine' at number 1.Ī promotional film for the song was created by Yoko Ono in January 1981. On 5 June 1981, Geffen re-released 'Woman' as a single as part of their 'Back to Back Hits' series, with the B-side ' (Just Like) Starting Over'. 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'. Women really are the other half of the sky, as I whisper at the beginning of the song. What dawned on me was everything I was taking for granted. Not just what my Yoko does for me, although I was thinking in those personal terms. In an interview for Rolling Stone magazine on 5 December 1980, three days before his murder, John Lennon said that the song 'came about because, one sunny afternoon in Bermuda, it suddenly hit me what women do for us. The track begins with Lennon whispering, 'For the other half of the sky', a paraphrase of a Chinese proverb, once used by Mao Zedong. Lennon wrote 'Woman' as an ode to his wife Yoko Ono, and to all women. The B-side of the single is Ono's song 'Beautiful Boys'. The track was chosen by Lennon to be the second single released from the Double Fantasy album, and it was the first Lennon single issued after his murder on 8 December 1980.

' Woman' is a song written and performed by English singer, songwriter, musician and peace activist John Lennon from his 1980 album Double Fantasy.
