I think this is one of my favorite John Lennon songs, and one that can turn me to a puddle in no time. The song is from the 1970 John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band album. I find it really hard to listen to this song only one time and will often, to the chagrin of anyone else in the house, play it over and over.
As Faith has been bringing up so beautifully in etudes, the destroying thing for me about this song is the hindsight of what happened to John & Yoko. I think of this song as the one he would have given her as a tool of comfort after his death. Instead, he wrote it first, and was murdered second.
I wasn't able to find any video footage of performance, but here's song with the record cover (which is itself a love story).
