Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed The Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. Sometimes called "the smart Beatle", Lennon initially was the group's de facto leader, a role he gradually ceded to McCartney. Through his songwriting in the Beatles, he embraced myriad musical influences, initially writing and co-writing rock and pop-oriented hit songs in the band's early years, then later incorporating experimental elements into his compositions in the latter half of the Beatles' career as his songs became known for their increasing innovation. Lennon soon expanded his work into other media by participating in numerous films, including How I Won the War, and authoring In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works, both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with "All You Need Is Love", his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture of the 1960s. In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration Bed-ins for Peace and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career.
Between 1968 and 1972, Lennon and Ono collaborated on many works, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, several more films, his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the international top-10 singles "Give Peace a Chance", "Instant Karma!", "Imagine", and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year deportation attempt by the Nixon administration. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, during which time he produced Harry Nilsson's album Pussy Cats. He also had chart-topping collaborations with Elton John ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") and David Bowie ("Fame"). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was murdered by a Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman, three weeks after the album's release.
As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his best-selling album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. That year, he won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and 38th greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).

Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves
John Lennon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain or shine or life
Or death
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know when he presses his ear to her breast
Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I laugh when I feel like crying?
Every woman has a man who loves her
Rise or fall of her life
And death
If she finds him in this lifetime
She will know when she looks into his eyes
Why do I roam when I know you're the one?
Why do I run when I feel like holding you?
Every man has a woman who loves him
If he finds her in this lifetime
He will know
when he presses his ear to her breast. These lyrics from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's song Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him explore the idea that there is someone out there for everyone, a soulmate who loves them unconditionally. The lyrics suggest that in every man's life, there is at least one woman who loves him, regardless of what life may throw at him. When he finds her and taps into her love by pressing his ear to her chest, he will find a deep and abiding love that will sustain him through all the ups and downs of life.
The song goes on to suggest that the same is true for women. Every woman has a man who loves her, and if she finds him, she will know it in her heart and soul. The lyrics speak to the universal human desire for love, connection, and companionship, suggesting that we all need someone to love and be loved by in order to feel complete.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was not originally written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The song was actually written by a group called The Smithereens, and Lennon and Ono covered it for a tribute album called Every Man Has a Woman, which featured various artists covering each other's songs. Another interesting fact is that the song was not released as a single in the United States, but it did reach number 16 on the UK Singles Chart.
