Aug 02, 2017 Some Time In New York City was originally released in 1972 and is John Lennon’s third post-Beatles solo album, as well as his fifth album with Yoko Ono. Produced by Phil Spector, the album did not fare as well as Lennon’s two previous solo albums, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. SOMETIME IN NEW YORK CITY is a tale of two people and one city: the romance of John and Yoko set against the vibrant backdrop of New York.

That being said, now I really want to visit West Point. Those pictures and the nice things you said about it, makes me want to go tour ASAP. The campus looks stunning!

I loved every single bit of this post! I can't wait for more!!! It's my favorite for traveling! That bag can expand and hold a child if I needed it to. I'm telling you, the Shulls should check it out. That place was beautiful. I couldn't get over it.

You guys should visit sometime. I have read your blog for years and I can't believe you were in my town! I grew up in Newburgh and still live there with my three kids. It is a beautiful place to visit.

So glad you enjoyed your visit. You have the cutest little town. We had a late dinner so it was too dark to see the river.

That view has to be amazing!! What fun memories for your kiddos! And let's talk about how jealous I am of cute winter coats and scarves!!! #whereisourcoldweather said.

Well, if you need me this week, I'll be planning our trip to West Point! That area is just gorgeous this time of the year, and I LOVE all of the tradition surrounding the school!

What a fun trip friend! Loved all of the sweet pics of your fam having fun!! What a super fun trip!! Love that Home Alone picture!!:) said.

What a wonderful trip! So sweet that Nix carried a football the whole time, what a great memory throwing the football with his dad in Central Park! And good for EL being such a trooper.

I'm quite sure I wouldn't have been. I'm such a weenie when not feeling well. And yes, Bowen looks like such a big boy! I was hoping we'd be bringing the cool weather with us.:( said. It was stunning!

Your family would love to visit! Yes, we had a blast! You know I would have stayed in bed and told them to have fun and take some great pictures. I'm a major weenie when I'm sick.

Looks beautiful! I want to visit upstate NY! On my bucket list! Carrying that football.priceless!

I, too, want to visit West Point now! Beautiful pics of your sweet family having fun! And I'm thinking Nix holding the football hopefully kept him from touching everything else?? Great that y'all can travel with Tab for some fun away games! Precious memories made, esp throwing football in Central Park!

Why must they touch everything?!?! Story of my life. Looks like a great day in NYC and that West Point miss hall does look like it belongs in Harry Potter. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip! I'm from NY and this post was so awesome to read! I'm glad you guys had a great time!

So much goodness in this post. It makes me want to go back to NYC ASAP and take my kiddos too! West Point was beautiful. What a nice time of the year to go as well. Chilly but not crazy cold!!!! I can't wait for your next post.

I love it all. We live in the northeast and I'm so happy you were able to enjoy our fall foliage. Some years are better than others. And I too am putting West Point on our bucket list. Can't wait for tomorrow's post;) said. How to download car blueprint outlne.

This made me reminisce about the ASU Army game so many years ago. Isn't West Point just gorgeous?! Your kids will never forget these fun trips! Does your husband have any South Carolina games on his schedule? Been to NYC twice but only in winter.

Love all the autumn colors so I'm going back! Which hotel did you stay? It was so pretty! Add it to your list! Yes, the boys had a blast playing football in the park!

Why must they touch every wall?!! We loved it!!:) said. The weather was amazing. Part two is coming up on Thursday.:) said. I love seeing all of your pictures of West Point. My cousin attended college there, and it amazes me every time I see pictures.

What an incredible place! Oh girl, if I had a dime for every time I had to say that I would be dimeless because I gave up years ago!! My son once chewed used gum in a cab. And just the other day I wrote a post about my daughter licking the door of the subway. I was disgusted at the time, but oh well! Strong immune systems.

Glad you had fun! Wow - looks like an awesome getaway!!

Can't wait to see part 2:) The football-carrying is too cute for words! I absolutely love West Point! My Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa all went there and seeing your pictures brings back such great memories of visiting there as I grew up. I'm so glad to see that y'all had such a good time there!

It really is such a special place. Looking forward to your next post! What an amazing trip so far! I'm sorry that Ebby Lee was sick, though. WHY does that ALWAYS happen before vacation?! Somebody always has to get sick!

It looks like she was SUCH a trooper, though. I laughed so hard at sweet Bowen passed out at the restaurant!! That boy is so fun to be around.

Loved the post! I think a Girls Trip to NYC would be so fun!!!

I haven't been in years! The picture of the boys saluting the West Point cadets almost made me tear up.

The sweetest! Headed to NYC in a few weeks. We land at a funny hour and wanted to grab coffee and snacks in the afternoon so we arent too full for supper later. Where did y'all stop in the park for coffee and snacks?

I don't remember the name. It was a small little cafe close to a playground and a ball field. Where's your cute coat from?

I loved seeing your pictures of West Point! My son is a cadet there and my hubby is a grad! Isn't it gorgeous?!

Early in their partnership John Lennon and Yoko Ono, had a brilliant insight. Since everything they did, whether personal or artistic, seemed to be causing a media frenzy, why not use that space to positive effect?

If they got married, or arrested, or held an art show, or made a collaborative album, it was headline news. What would happen if the Lennon’s lent all their notoriety to the simplest – yet most vital – message of all?One spectacular result of this new strategy was their single, ‘’. Recorded during their Bed-In in Montreal in 1969, it combined John’s gift for a chorus that could hook the world, with Yoko’s insight that our hyper-media culture was an ideal platform for performance art. Soon his musical output bounced between the overtly universal ‘’ and the personal soul-searching of his solo debut. His most successful album, had elements of both. Through it all, a talent he recognised in himself was his knack for a big, instant anthem. In the lineage of ‘All You Need Is Love’ were other classics of unashamed sloganeering like ‘’ and ‘’.

They satisfied an artistic craving, too, for what songwriter would not love to match the moral resonance of ‘We Shall Overcome’, or the perennial popularity of ‘White Christmas’?Famously impatient, John had yet another itch to scratch. He wanted to write, record and issue his records in a heartbeat. He nearly did it, too, with the marvellous ‘’, which he’d sent from his imagination to the record stores within two weeks.

And now, in February 1972, he found himself a resident of Greenwich Village, right in the creative heart of the most dynamic city on earth. He’d hooked up with a radical bar-band called Elephant’s Memory, whose funky swagger suited John’s new mood.

Sometime In New York City is the album they made together: it’s a world away from the studio-crafted art rock of the era five years earlier; this is fast, reactive, rough-and-ready music, to be released in all its imperfections, as hurriedly as a daily newspaper.Barely six months earlier, John and Yoko still lived in the gracious seclusion of Tittenhurst Park, outside London. They had moved to New York, in part, to further Yoko’s quest for custody of her daughter Kyoko.

In the event, continued squabbling with the US immigration authorities made it risky to leave the country, and their stay assumed a permanent look. That was fine by John, who took to the gritty downtown scene with gusto, mixing at his Bank Street apartment with Yippies, Black Panthers and street musicians.For the first time since Liverpool Art School, John was revelling in bohemian life, an escapee from suburbia. New York, he marvelled, was a latter day Rome, the cultural hub of the known world. At the same time, beneath the glitz it was a little like Liverpool- another streetwise seaport where Lennon’s salty wit was right at home. In March 1972, the album was recorded. Phil Spector co-produced once more, at least at the final mixing stage, while Elephant’s Memory were augmented by the renowned drummer Jim Keltner. But there was plenty for the Lennon’s to feel angry about.

‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’ and ‘Luck Of The Irish’ report an especially bitter period in Northern Irish history. John, given his Liverpool-Irish heritage, was swift to attach his name to the anti-colonial cause. ‘John Sinclair’ and ‘Angela’ respond to some individual cases, the former of the radical writer and rock manager, incarcerated on a grotesquely inflated drugs charge, and then of the black radical Angela Davis, accused of complicity in a shoot-out.

The deficiency in ‘headline news’ songs, of course, is that every day brings new headlines to replace them. For all their honest rage and historical interest, some of the topical songs have dated less well than the more general numbers. ‘New York City’, especially, is the great overlooked Lennon rocker, bursting with all the energy that he was absorbing from his new environment. And at the end there is Yoko’s upbeat and witty boogie, ‘We’re All Water’, affirming our common human spirit. It’s as if to answer a cynical enquiry about the preceding numbers: ‘Why should we care?’.

The album faced a difficult reception on its release in 1972. A bonus disc of live tracks, some from the London Lyceum in 1969 and others from a guest appearance with Frank Zappa in New York, 1971, hardly enhanced the commercial appeal – although the delightful cover of The Olympics’ ‘Well (Baby Please Don’t Go)’ is a hidden gem in Lennon’s solo catalogue.John had clearly been energised by New York, but his particular ambition – to write polemical songs inspired by the events of the moment – proved trickier than expected. Three or four centuries earlier, the troubadours of urban England had taken precisely the same approach. But they were not ex-Beatles, expected to lead the whole planet in a communal singalong.Yoko reminisced: ‘We were two rebels and were quite proud of it. For this album, were Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill of the 70’s in our minds.’Discouraged, but not defeated.

John and Yoko considered their next moves. Her recording career, in fact, was shaping up rather well. For his own part, John had some serious still to playWritten by Paul DuNoyerIncluded in EMI’s 2010 Lennon 70 Definitive Remaster of Some Time In New York City.Read Paul’s book:.
