About John Lennon and his Yer Blues

′′ When we received YER BLUES in 1968, it wasn’t a title in the Double Blanc A classic of no importance, a pretty nervous blues, but well… And this way of taking him showed a guy – the performer – who screams that he’s alone and will die! Ah this is funny. While surrounded by awesome musicians; most loved by all; forced to hide so we don’t embrace him; in an awesome time full of future; all the best, right? So we used to taste the humor of the 28-year-old, still young like us, who plays crybabies while showing an unparalleled vibrancy. Who is more dynamic than this Lennon? Ah really, the most satisfied guy in the world who starts screaming that he’s alone and going to die… Anyway. This track went over it.
Actually, this is serious. Yes, the guy is alone and he will die. Period. It always makes you think. Then he calls a girl, the girl who is there, and who knows the reason. The symbolic girl. For us – we ignore her privacy – it’s either her, that he won’t die because he perpetuates himself in her (! ) or else he commits the little death with her. With love he would be like dead. And since he is, anyway, he is an individual, he is like alone; and he is going to die like everyone else, right? Finally those who are wondering.
The track changes tempo speeds up… To give life, to move. Lennon’s solo himself, playing the same 2 awesome grades for eight long measures, illustrating the society that advances, headless, swarms and hurts… At the end, a genius shot, he resumes singing off microphone. Would it be moreover tomb? Like dead.
