Reseña

El último álbum en el legado de John Lennon es este "Double Fantasy", publicado el 17 de noviembre de 1980 bajo el sello Geffen Records y que supuso el último lanzamiento del artista en vida.

Una copia de este trabajo fue la que Lennon autografió al que posteriormente se convertiría en su asesino, Mark David Chapman. La copia firmada fue vendida en 2003 por más de medio millón de dólares.

"Double Fantasy" se publicó tras un paréntesis de cinco años en la actividad del músico, motivada por el nacimiento en 1975 de su hijo Sean, fruto de su relación con Yoko Ono.

Inmerso nuevamente en el ritmo de las grabaciones y en una fase muy productiva en cuanto a la creatividad se refiere, la pareja se unió a Jack Douglas, productor de Aerosmith, quien tras escuchar las primeras demos decidió arrimar el hombro para trabajar en este disco.

Los temas, de carácter intimista, nos mostraban a John y a Yoko cantando el uno para el otro. El sencillo de presentación fue "(Just Like) Starting Over", que logró posicionarse entre los primeros cinco en las principales listas de éxitos.

El álbum obtuvo unos discretos resultados en su estreno, debutando en el puesto 27 para posteriormente ascender hasta el 14. En Estados Unido, los resultados fueron similares.

El asesinato de John Lennon el 8 de diciembre de 1980, a manos de Chapman, dispararía las ventas del álbum, que alcanzó el primer puesto en las listas de numerosos países, incluidos Estados Unidos y Reino Unido. El resto de la discografía de John Lennon también vio incrementado su interés por parte del público.

El día de su fallecimiento, Lennon estaba trabajando en la grabación de un nuevo tema, "Walking on Thin Ice", publicado un año más tarde por Yoko Ono. A su regreso de los estudios, fue abordado por Chapman, quien disparó cinco veces sobre su cuerpo, falleciendo veinte minutos después.

letra de (Just Like) Starting Over
Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown - we have grown,
Although our love is still special,
Let's take our chance and fly away somewhere alone,

It's been so long since we took the time,
No-one's to blame,
I know time flies so quickly,
But when I see you darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Everyday we used to make it love,
Why can't we be making love nice and easy,
It's time to spread our wings and fly,
Don't let another day go by my love,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Why don't we take off alone,
Take a trip somewhere far, far away,
We'll be together all alone again,
Like we used to in the early days,
Well, well, darling,

It's been so long since we took the time,
No-one's to blame,
I know time flies so quickly,
But when I see you darling,
It's like we both are falling in love again,
It'll be just like starting over - starting over,

Our life together is so precious together,
We have grown - we have grown,
Although our love is still special,
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone.

letra de Kiss Kiss Kiss
Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss me love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do,
Kiss, kiss kiss, kiss me love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do,

Why death,
Why Life,
Warm hearts,
Cold darts,

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love,
I'm bleeding inside,

It's a long, long story to tell,
And I can only show my hell,

Touch, touch, touch, touch me love,
Just one touch, touch will do,
Touch, touch, touch, touch me love,
Just one touch, touch will do,

Why me,
Why you,
Broken mirror,
White terror,

Touch, touch, touch, touch me love,
I'm shaking inside,
It's that faint, faint sound of the childhood bell,
Ringing in my soul,

Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss me love,
Just one kiss, kiss will do.
Cleanup TimeVer letra 2:58

letra de Cleanup Time
Moonlight on the water,
Sun light on my face,
You and me together,
We are in our place,
The gods are in the heavens,
The angels treat us well,
The oracle has spoken,
We cast the (perfect) spell,

Now it begins - let it begin,
Cleanup Time,
(Show those mothers how to do it),

The queen is in the counting home,
Counting out the money,
The king is in the kitchen,
Making bread and honey,
No friends and yet no enemies,
Absolutely free,
No rats aboard the magic ship,
Of (perfect) harmony,

Now it begins,
Cleanup Time,
(Show those mothers how to do it),

However, far we travel,
Wherever we may roam,
The centre of the circle,
Will always be our home,

The gods are in the heavens,
The angels treat us well,
The oracle has spoken,
We cast the (perfect) spell.

letra de Give Me Something
The food is cold,
Your eyes are cold,
The window's cold,
The bed is cold,

Give me something that's not cold,
Come on, come on,
Give me something that's not cold,
Come on, come on,
Give me something that's not cold,
Come on, come on,

The chair is hard,
Your voice is hard,
The money's hard,
The living's hard,

Give me something that's not hard,
Come on, come on,
Give me something that's not hard,
Come on, come on,
Give me something that's not hard,
Come on, come on,
Give me, give me,
And I'll give you a heartbeat,
And a bit of tear and flesh,
It's not very much but while it's there,
You can have it, you can have it.

letra de I'm Losing You
Here in some stranger's room,
Late in the afternoon,
What am I doing here at all?
Ain't no doubt about it,
I'm losing you,

Somehow the wires have crossed,
Communication's lost,
Can't even get you on the telephone,
Just got to shout about it,
I'm losing you,

Here in the valley of indecision,
I don't know what to do,
I feel you sliping away,
I feel you sliping away,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,

You say your not getting enough,
But I remind you of all that bad stuff,
So waht the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a bandaid on it?
And stop the bleeding now,
Stop the bleeding now,

I know I hurt you then,
But that was way back when,
And well, do you still have to carrey that cross?
Don't want to hear about it,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you.

letra de I'm Moving On
Save your sweet talk for when you score,
Keep your monday kisses for your glass lady,
I want the truth and nothing more,
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,

You didn't have to tell a white lie,
You know you scored me for life,
Don't stick your fingers in my pie,
You know I'll see through your jive,
I want the truth and nothing more,
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,

When you were angry you had love in your eyes,
when you were sad you had a dream in your voice,
But now your giving me your window smile,
I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony.

letra de Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster's gone,
He's on the run
And your daddy's here,

[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It's getting better and better,

[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both
Just have to be patient,

'Cause it's a long way to go,
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it's a long way to go
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is what happens to you,
While you're busy making other plans,

[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day
In every way,
It's getting better and better,

[2x]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful boy,

Darling, darling,
Darling Sean.

letra de Watching The Wheels
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

letra de Woman
For the other half of the sky

Woman, I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion 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, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,

And, woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Ooh, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,

Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,

I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah).

letra de Beautiful Boys
You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little toys,
Your eyes have seen the world,
Though your only four years old,
And your tears are streaming,
Even when your smiling,
Please never be afraid to cry,

You're a beautiful boy,
With all your little ploys,
Your mind has changed the world,
And your now forty years old,
You got all you can carry,
And still somehow empty,
Don't ever be afraid to fly,

All you beautiful boys,
Creating multiple plays,
You like to fence in your world,
And settle down when you're old,
You can run from pole to pole,
And never scratch your soul,
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back,
Don't be afraid to be afraid.

Even after all these years,
I miss you when your not here,
I wish you were here my dear Yoko,

Even if it's just a day,
I miss you when your away,
I wish you were here today dear Yoko,

Even if it's just one night,
I miss you and it don't feel right,

Even if it's just an hour,
I wilt just like a fading flower,
Ain't nothing in the world like our love dear Yoko,

Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,

Even when I'm miles at sea,
And nowhere is the place to be,
Your spirit's watching over me dear Yoko,

Even when I watch T.V.
There's hole where your supposed to be,
There's nobody lying next to me,

Oh Yoko!
I'll never ever ever ever gonna let you go,
Oh Yoko!

Even after all this time,
I miss you like the sun don't shine,
Without you I'm a one track mind dear Yoko,

After all is really said and done,
The two of us are really one,
The goddess really smiled upon our love dear Yoko.

letra de Every Man Has A Woman Who Loves Him
Every man has a woman who loves him,
In rain or shine or life and death,
If he finds her in this lifetime,
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast,

Why do I roam when I know you're the one,
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying,

Every woman has a man who loves her,
Rise or fall of her life and death,
If she finds him in this life time,
She will know when she looks into his eyes,

Why do I roam when I know you're the one,
Why do I run when I feel like holding you,

Every man has a woman who loves him,
If he finds her in this lifetime,
He will know.

letra de Hard Times Are Over
It's been very hard,
But it's getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

The leaves are shining in the sun,
And smiling inside,
You and I watching each other on a street corner,
Cars and buses and planes and people go by,

But we don't care,
We want to know,
We want to know in each other's eyes,
That hard times are over, over for sometime,

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

It's been very rough,
But it's getting easier now,
Hard times are over, over for a while,

The streams are twinkling in the sun,
And I'm smiling inside,
You and I walking together 'round the street corner,

Hard times are over,
Hard times are over,
Hard times are over, over for a while.

Well, I tried so hard to stay alive
But the angel of destruction keeps on houndin' me all around
But I know in my heart
That we never really parted, oh no

They say the Lord helps those who helps themselves
So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind
'Cause I know deep inside I was never satisfied, oh no

Lord, help me, Lord
Please, help me, Lord, yeah yeah yeah
Help me to help myself
Help me to help myself

letra de Walking On Thin Ice
Walking on thin ice
I'm paying the price
For throwing the dice in the air
Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?

I gave you my knife
You gave me my life
Like a gush of wind in my hair
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?

I may cry someday
But the tears will dry whichever way
And when our hearts return to ashes
It'll be just a story
It'll be just a story

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...

Ooh-ahooh...

"I knew a girl who tried to walk across the lake,
'Course it was winter when all this was ice.
That's a hell of a thing to do, you know.
They say the lake is as big as the ocean.
I wonder if she knew about it?"

Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai...
