Hello Yoko. How’s everything?
Not bad. And you?
Christian Neumaier
Did you enjoy your trip to Vienna, Austria?
I am now in Vienna! It’s great here. The first trip I made here was with John. And that’s all being documented.
Will Barker
Dear Yoko, the version of Rising that is on Yes, I’m A Witch, is there a longer version of it available anywhere? Love Will
I bet there is.

When writing Don’t Worry Kyoko did john come up with the slide guitar pattern also all of us guys from liverpool would like to say hi
Hi! Thanx for saying hi from Liverpool. I love that city. The first place John took me to after we got together – guess where – was Liverpool! He was proud of the city he was born and grew up in.
Nick Hart
How did you go about composing ‘Sisters O Sisters“. I love that track and so do young children
Wow! Thank you! I scribbled it down in the studio, and sung it right away. It’s that kind of song.
Ed Wenzel
Whats the one idea we as man never seem to get in your opinion?
That there are species called women trying to breathe and live on the same planet as you guys. Give them a chance, too:)
Mark Beckwith
With the very sad passing of Davy Jones. I would like to ask your personal opinions of the Monkees?
I saw them on TV in the very early days of their career. They were great fun!

You inspire me with your forgiving spirit & continued curiosity for life after the loss you’ve experienced. I’ve lost my husband & my son & struggle with maintaining any interest in life. My husband died 17 years ago from drugs & my son was killed by a drunk friend 4 years ago. I’m so angry & sad & want to be with them. Don’t you ever feel this way about John? I know you have Sean ~ is he who keeps your spirit alive?
I’m sorry. It must be really hard. Yes. You are right. I was so sad, but thought I had to live. Otherwise my son would be an orphan.
David Young
You and John worked so hard for world peace. It seems lately that war is the only answer our leaders can come up with to deal with our problems. Do you think we can ever get to a time when everyone wants peace? It seems like many of us just pay lip service to peace, but don’t work very hard to promote it. You have used art and music to promote peace. From your perspective, what else needs to be done? War is over if you want it!
The leaders of each country are being controlled by the military. They should come out and say that. If we knew the truth, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can stop the war right away. But knowing the truth will do something to our brains, and it will know what to do. That’s a start.
Richard Rossier
How do you keep John in your heart? Do you have any suggestions for how the rest of us can best remember him and honor his memory? Thank you Yoko!
Just thinking you want to find a way to honour his memory is a good start. He would have wanted you to work to create a better future for our planet. Make it less polluted, with less wars.
Scot Gresham-Lancaster
When you look at the horizon, what is beyond it?
Beyond it – is us again!
Tom McCaffrey
Hi Yoko – I don’t have a question, I just want to say Thank You for doing this. You are spreading a positive message at a time when we all really need it. Thanks again.
Thank you for your encouragement. yoko
simon ross @simonross5
can you describe what it was like to record Who Has Seen The Wind?
A very lovely feeling. John loved the song, and he immediately collected a few musicians and recorded it. So the recording went very smoothly.
Jennifer Anne Court @court_jennifer
Delia Derbyshire translated air raid sirens into electronic music, do you find the war influencing your sound tastes?
All of us are influenced by the sounds we hear now on our planet. That incudes sounds of war as well.
Flo Schell @CoachFloSchell
I loved the article you wrote for International Women’s Day and shared with many. Any others re: state of women? Many thanks!
There is an essay I wrote called The Feminization of Society. You can read it here on IMAGINEPEACE.com.
Anniina P @anguishedaurora
Mom read my diary. There were texts she should’ve never ever seen and I feel like I’m raped. Is this normal?
I’m sure it’s a bit embarrassing. But in the end, it’s a blessing that your Mom read your diary and she knows more about what’s going in your head. She is interested in what’s going on in your head and in your life. Think of the poor kids whose parents didn’t want them, and put them up for adoption. You are a very lucky child.
TheMiddleAges @MiddleAgesBlog
Yoko do you feel a strong connection to the moon?
Not necessarily just to the moon. I feel strong connection to all the stars in the Universes.
Michael V @mikarv
have you ever looked through something’s eyes, seen its atoms’ journey over millennia, then realised you are the same?
That’s a nice trip. It’s nice that you had that trip, and nice that you came back from it and realized that you are the same.
Matthew @matthewbrenner
Will you share a story about Tim & Rosemary Leary, Yoko?
They were beautiful people who, at the time, were very much in love.
Rose-Marie Holt @Rose_Marie_Holt
Dear yoko – I’ve severe fatigue & sleepiness & no cure 4 years…lost my ability 2 work & live normally. It’s hard. Any words?
You have the sleeplessness and fatigue from it, partly because you believed what we’ve been told – that we should sleep eight hours a night to be healthy. Well, they discovered very recently, that that was not so. Some of us can survive on three to four hours per sleep and stay quite healthy. So go back to not being able to seep. Don’t take any sleeping pills. Walk around, play the piano, read – do anything that makes you feel good, You will then find yourself becoming sleepy. That’s when you should sleep. There is a group in the west coast, who walk barefoot on grass for four hours. These are people who just never could go to sleep, and they go to sleep very easily, after the four hour walk on the glass barefoot. Just don’t fear sleeplessness – then you won’t have sleeplessness.
Rav Kaur @Raviola_K
how can I be more organised, positive and proactive?, nowadays I’m a big bum and end up sleeping too much and eating crap
Just become inerested in something other than being a big bum and end up sleeping too much! Find something you love to do. That is the fastest way of getting out of the hell you are in now.
retrobanks @retrobanks
My mind & thoughts wander constantly but I fear they will not return someday, how do I prevent me from losing myself?
Who says it won’t return someday? Don’t listen to such ridiculous talk. The mind will return after a few rounds of wandering… it’s good to wander. People whose minds are stuck in one place are sad people.
Guardian music @guardianmusic
Hi Yoko. Will the original Sugababes line-up ever get back together?
Who knows?
Raul Ruiz @Raulix_
did John travel yo México ever? They said he did, but as a rumor, thanks.
We travelled to Mexico incognito and loved it!

yoko what does it mean ” I’m in phase 9 now”,( your response to fact you don’t cook but put energy else where) what is is significant about the # 9? Does John’s Revolution #9 share a meaning?
with a handshake in thought.

Thank you so much for answering my question Yoko
Joseph Martin john is a light that will never go out for all you need is love will continue to feed this light
he was a poet, songwriter, composer, a father, a champion for peace but most of all he was just a man. unlike paul m. he could feel and write a…bout pain and longing and reach the depths of dispair and somehow it was beautiful Help i need somebody, so i sing a song of love for julia, mother you had me but i never had you, women you understand the little child inside a man, i was dreaming in the past and my heart was beating fast, if you want money for people with minds that hate all i can tell you brother you’ll have to wait, war is over if you want it, no need for greed or hungar a brotherhood of man,but most of all IN MY LIFE I LOVE YOU MORE
happy birthday john you are loved and i and millions more will miss you
Yoko, your message is beautiful and we still believe in Peace.
Here in South America we fight everyday for our beliefs, our ideals, our peace motives and for the beauty of life.
Sometimes is very hard to swim against the currents, against over consumption, against the media, against the powerful and their money.
But when i saw you and your willpower to keep screaming for peace and love for everyone, i feel alive now and i’ll keep yelling and working to build a better world for us all.
Thank you Yoko. Mata ne!
Felipe Nadeau.
i need your help!…i’m in a big emotional crisis and i don’t think i’m handling too well….
[...] I relation till händelsen med Gloria Emerson är det intressant att läsa Yoko Onos svar på en fråga från RMG_Design på twitter om vad hon tror om de ständigt växande sociala mediernas roll i att skapa ”worldpeace and harmony”. Yoko svarar: [...]
Hello Yoko, thank you for being available. I was at MoMA this past weekend…I screamed and made a wish. Thanks for bringing me full circle…and thank you for your he(art). I will be thinking of you and John tomorrow. Xo jen
Hi Jen! It’s nice that you participated in the scream piece and screamed. Your scream joined all the other screams of that piece performed in MOMA, and is sending out a strong vibration and making a strong statement to the world. love, yoko
Many years ago in NY you and John did a TV show on channel 13 which I attended. I have never heard anything relating to this show. Could you please let me know why.
Love and God Bless
That show still exists as a video and is played once in awhile by the TV station.
My next cd with my poems / music will be dedicated to you and John. This because of the good vibes you’re givin’ to the world. More than thanks, and with lovin’ greetings from The Netherlands,
Jos Witteman
Once again thank you very much for taking the time to answer the questions your much appreciated n loved..cheers, thanks.
Live forever
HI Yoko,
I am doing a write up on Cut Piece. I was wondering what is a message or representation you were trying to say with this piece?
Thanks,
Kallie
There are many layers of statements in that piece. It is not just one. yoko
Thank you for the answers that you shared to me especially about questions related when you were expecting a baby with John.. One of my favorites is you are craving meat and cabbage and about morning sickness.. hope if you don’t mind I could post some questions that was bugging in my head. it is all about Sean when he was not yet born (I mean inside your womb)… again thank you…
Love your response to my query, thank you so much for your work. You’re absolutely right about love.
Yoko, God bless you, love nessus
Yoko, one day I drove through Florida and felt incredibly sad, for no apparent reason, later, I found out Nam June Paik had died, how did you feel on that day? do you remember?
Yes. I felt sad. He was a good friend. yoko
Love your work Yoko !!!
Yoko, do you believe in “an eye for an eye”? those who kill should be killed in return or anything like that?
No. Watch this.
Thank you Yoko for taking the time to answer these questions. Your ideas inspire me.
