    My Mother Dorothy Jean Tandle…“Dotty” worked at Electro-Strings Rickenbacker Guitars “RIC” in early 1964. She did the work on the Beatles guitars. George’s 360-12... John’s 325-6 and 12 string (first ever)…. Paul’s Left handed 4001s (first ever).…Ten years later…..In the 1974, I worked for “Fender Musical Instruments” in Fullerton California.
    I made two Fender Rhodes Electric Pianos for John Lennon/Apple Studios.
    The one used on “Walls and Bridges”
    “Well if they’re gonna send one, send two cause I’d like one as well”
    John Lennon ordering a Fender Rhodes Electric Piano at the Apple studios.
    (Elton John recorded “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” with the same piano)
    My mother and myself are the only mother/son that both built an instrument for John Lennon.
    My mother made guitars for many famous Rockers, including the red guitar that was smashed by Peter Townsend of the WHO and is in the Rock HOF. Chris Squire, Roger Waters, Paul McCartney (left-handed 1964 4001S FG Rickenbacker bass) , John Entwistle, George Harrison’s 12 String. Roger McGuinn 12 string and many others.
    I have built pianos for “You name it”
    just about everyone IE: “Pink Floyd” on “Dark Side Of The Moon”
    It is our little contribution to Classic Rock.
    I’m very proud of that fact.

    John believed he and Paul could communicate without speaking (and they did through music obviously). There are many instances of the two of them having similar dreams at the same time and John in particular believed in their telepathy.
    The lyrics “I know, yes I know” show up in this song (and in others- he wrote a song “I Know” that seems to be directed to McCartney). Apparently the two of them spent a whole night (their first acid trip together) staring into each other’s eyes and repeating “I know.”
    They referenced and communicated to each other through their songs long after they split. I believe the wistful longing of this song is directed at Paul and the deep friendship that once was, and continues through their music.

    Yoko isn't on it because he wasn't with her at the time, he was with May Pang, who sings backing vocals. The words came to him in a dream (meaningless words) and the phrase had nine syllables, thus the title. Weird fact: It peaked at #9 on the U.S. Billboard charts.

      I understand that was May Pang who whispered "John"
      He was having an affair with her during his separation from Yoko. Yoko approved of it and wasn't jealous at all. He went back to her probably because he was under her spell.
      I personally think this song is his masterpiece. Ironically, Paul's masterpiece was about a woman Jane Asher. He cheated on her with Linda, then went on to write other great songs some for Linda and some for Jane. (For No One) His masterpiece is, of course, Here There and Everywhere. You may have a different opinion. Thanks Harry for reacting to a song I've actually requested. #9 is very significant in John's life.
      Nine is how you say NO in German. #9 is also the number of judgment. He was born on October 9 and his first day dead was December 9, 1980
      I will meet him one day and I hope you will too, Harry.

    This is one of my favourite Lennon songs but s others have said, it was in the period when Yoko separated from him and set him up with their assistant May Pang as a substitute. The female voice on this is May, not Yoko and she is Chinese, not Japanese. The "foreign words" are neither, they were made up by John.
    I always associate this song with "Dream Gerard" by Traffic. They were both played a lot in 1974 by Radio Caroline or North Sea International, I forget which.

    This song is a premonition to his death and a huge gift to those who loved him! That’s why this song often brings back his death. #9, I’ll bet John actually transitioned to his new life on the 9th of December and never forget #9 was a John Lennon favorite reminder from his musical past. How ironic? That he most likely hit the next life on #9 of the month. He was shot 1 hour before the 9th of December! Take the words in…and understand your soul is picking up this message as everyone who hears this, thinks if his tragic death… listen… “so long ago…..Dream, was it a dream? “Seemed so very real….to walk down his street by the Dakota….he though he could hear, hear, hear….. somebody called out his name…( John Lennons name was called out by Chapman, before he crouched and shot him 7 times. “and it started to rain” (weather data “Weather Spark,’” for Dec. 8th, 1980 say between 10 pm and 11 pm it was drizzling) 2 spirits dancing so strange. ( something was going on he realizes, but escapes the tragic and fatal pain of his murder)
    dream away….Was there magic in the air? He believes, yes he believes, ( he tells us ) more he cannot say…( but he’s trying to understand) ..on a river of sound ( he hears his music he gave the world by the angels), to the mirror go round, round ( his life reflected back to him) he started to feel, feel…then, he was hearing his music, he was able to feel, feel….music touching his soul ( he’s enveloped in his purpose and gifts, music to remove him from the event) “ something warm (the HEAT of the bullets), SUDDEN cold ( the shots and with so much immediate blood loss, you get very cold as your dying) “the spirit dance was unfolding…” ..(the transition to the afterlife began immediately ) John didn’t feel any pain, he leaves us this message to always remember when we’re sad. This song is a sacred gift for everyone to not cry for any pain, he didn’t have any, and to believe! ah, Bowa ( in Japanese, bowa means smoke, steam etc…) kowa (In Japanese it means frightening or terrifying) Bowakowa, Pousse ( In Japanese means pulse), pousse. Ah, Bowakowa, pousse pousse…smoke, terrified, pulse. Seems very very related to what was to come and all he said. It was a gift to truly believe, remember him without sadness, and he NEVER felt a thing. The guides and angels wouldn’t let a man who gave so much to this world suffer. We love you, John.

    You mentioned the song 'Woman' from Double Fantasy. When recording Woman, John referred to the song as "The Beatle one'. For me, this is 'The Beatle one'. John's last homage to his mid 60's more flowery, dreamy and often ambiguous, side of his songwriting catalogue. #9 Dream is historically underappreciated. One listen changes that forever. John is on top of his game and the band is locked in. Great reaction Hari. I'm glad you've heard this classic. A diamond in the rough, recorded during John's "Lost Weekend". Cheers mate, RNB

    'Took a walk down the street through the heat-whispered trees' also reminds me of his death in New York. Wonderful song and production.

    Yes, Harri, I know what you mean. There is an ethereal, haunting quality to this song that reminds me that John isn’t with us any more. Heartbreaking.

  • @chrismacdonald7955
    @chrismacdonald7955 Před rokem +2

    He wasn't with Yoko when he wrote this song. He was with Mae Pang and it is her voice whispering his name. John had a dream and in the dream, he heard that 9 syllable phrase. It is not in any language at all. He just put it in the song because he was.... a genius. Thanks Harri, your Beatle reactions keep me watching. Lucky me, I grew up as a Beatle fan from their beginning. Especially I'm a superfan of John. 😀

    Definitely one of John's best post-Beatle songs, on par with "Imagine". It was played quite a bit on the radio in the US when it came out (1974).

  • @janeschreiner9641
    @janeschreiner9641 Před 2 lety +1

    Funny you should mention that the sound of the song, and the song itself brings up his death to you. This is the first song of his that I heard on the radio right after he died. I’d left my house to just get in the car and drive. I didn’t care where, and I really couldn’t tell you where at all that I went that night. I just drove for hours. And I lost it when this song came on. And I still lose it to this day when I hear it. We lost a good one, with John. Can you just imagine all of the fantastic music we would be listening to and sharing, if only he hadn’t died so young? Sigh………

    When one sings along to this old time favorite the thought of lost love ones to fate brings a whisper of a treat as if flouting through a dream pressing my focus on you of all things I think how could it be different than it is no matter how hard I tried the thought I could change the world encroached on my peace of mind and equilibrium but all is fine when my thoughts sing along to the words ~ Ahi! Bowakawa, pousse pousse Ahi! Bowakawa, pousse pouss Ahi! Bowakawa, pousse pousse

    He recorded this when he was estranged from Yoko. I think the harmonies on the refrain is John double tracking his voice.

    Yes! My favorite Lennon song, with or without the rest of the group. The dream-like quality of the vocals, instrumentation & melody have always captivated me. The female voice you hear is not Yoko but record executive May Pang who John was having an affair with at the time.

  • @kaystephens2672

    This is my favorite John Lennon song. I like it better than Imagine. I know what you mean, hearing it in retrospect it has a sad quality to it, but beautiful nonetheless. It reminds me of my youth in the 1970s, when music like this existed. You'll never hear music like this ever again, unfortunately.

    You may know this by now, but this song/album was recorded in L.A. during John's time away from Yoko (with her being in NYC). This was recorded during his so called "Lost Weekend," from about late 1973 to February (?) 1975.

    Walls and Bridges is one of John's best albums, some really strong tracks. Scared, Steel and Glass, Nobody Loves You ( When You're Down and Out) and the other single Whatever Gets You Through the Night.

    To the host: John Lennon, while living in his house ( penthouse) in New York had a UFO sighting that he stated was very close and moved slowly past his window/ balcony gliding over the Hudson River. After that he stated that the ‘ refrain’ in his song that sounds foreign ( it’s not Japanese) came to him after that sighting so he included it in this song. He and girlfriend at the time witnessed the craft.

    I love ❤️ this song! It sounds very "dreamy" to me; as if you're actually dreaming. Went to #9 on US charts. What a coincidence with the name?? John & Yoko always had a thing about the number 9. He wound up being shot on Dec. 9th. Worst Xmas ever! So sad. Took me a very long time until I could listen to him w/o crying. Now, I like it because it brings back fond memories if his life & music. Large part of the soundtrack of my life until he passed away.

    Great track imadrummin . 9 Dream -. It is off the very under rated Walls and Bridges album and is rhe second single off it and it was a hit. Whatever Gets You Through the night was the lead single. As the Harri reaction depicted in his reaction to WEGYTTN John was apart from Yoko at the time he recorded this. It was only after he and Elton did the number 1 hit track from Walls and Bridges live did John and Yoko get back together . A lot of Walls and Bridges is a break up song album. Fortunately for John the breakup was only temporary. So: very nearly a happy ending with John : Yoko and new son Sean living happily. What a shame it was not a happy ever after....Sigh

    His voice sounds mesmerizing, and the line you highlighted means nothing, he heard those words on a dream and then when writing the rest of the song he realized it contains 9 syllabes, also all his life was surrounded by the number 9 in many ways.

My absolute favorite song was Just Like Starting Over at the time, but now it just breaks my heart hearing how happy and at peace he finally seemed to be. Thank god we have his beautiful music to remember him by. I will always love him.
