Remember Love (Yoko Ono song)

"Remember Love" is a song written and performed by Yoko Ono. It was first released on her debut solo album, Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, in 1970. The song is a relatively straightforward love ballad, especially in contrast to some of Ono's more experimental and avant-garde work.

Thematically, "Remember Love" explores themes of nostalgia, longing, and the enduring power of love even in the face of separation or hardship. The lyrics are simple and direct, expressing a desire to hold onto cherished memories and the hope that love will persist. Ono's vocal delivery is often described as raw and emotive, adding to the song's vulnerability.

Musically, "Remember Love" features a sparse arrangement, typically consisting of piano or acoustic guitar, and Ono's vocals. This simplicity allows the emotional content of the lyrics to take center stage. The song has been interpreted as a tribute to her relationship with John Lennon, though Ono has not explicitly confirmed this.

"Remember Love" has been covered by various artists over the years and remains one of Ono's more accessible and recognized songs. While not as widely known as some of Lennon's compositions, it stands as a testament to Ono's songwriting capabilities and her ability to convey profound emotions through simple melodies and lyrics. The song's enduring appeal lies in its universal themes of love and remembrance.
