Several of their later albums were released under the name The Plastic Ono Band, and often featured other musicians such as Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman, and Alan White. The Plastic Ono Band's first album, Live Peace in Toronto 1969, was recorded during the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival Festival. The first half of their performance consisted of rock standards, and during the second half, Ono took the microphone and along with the band performed what may be one of the first expressions of the avant garde during a rock concert. The set ended with music that consisted mainly of feedback, while Ono screamed and sang.
Their fifth album together, Some Time in New York City, released in 1972, is fiercely motivated by political issues the couple found themselves confronted with upon moving to New York City in September, 1971. The album was highly controversial but is generally seen as the beginning of Ono's emergence as a songwriter with "Sisters O Sisters", "Born In A Prison", and "We're All Water"
With the birth of their son Sean in 1975, Lennon put his career on hold to raise the boy and rekindle his relationship with his older son Julian. In the summer of 1980, both Lennon and Ono felt ready to resume to work and began composing. They made the decision to release their impending songs together on the same album. Subtitled "A Heart Play", Double Fantasy would be a collection of songs whereby John and Yoko would be singing to each other.
Released in 1984, Milk and Honey is notable for being Lennon's first posthumous release of music, having been recorded in the last months of his life during and following the sessions for Double Fantasy. Though Lennon's death caused a temporary shelving of the project, Ono was later capable of returning to complete it.
I’m Moving On
John Lennon & Yoko Ono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For when you score
Keep your Monday kisses
For your glass lady
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on
Moving on, you're getting phony
You knew you scored me for life
Don't stick your finger in my pie
You know I'll see through your jive
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on
Moving on, we're getting phony
When you were angry you had love in your eyes
When you were sad you had dream in your voice
But now you're giving me your window smile
I'm moving on
Moving on it's getting phony

If you've ever thought that John and Yoko were a "Double Fantasy", listen to the lyrics of the this song and the lyrics of I'm Losing You by John on the same album. She was actually having an affair with a guy at that very time. She was ready to dump him.

EVERYDAY CHEMISTRY

We were just Four Guys.
@weottertalk
I know a lot of people don't care for her, but I thought she was great on this album. Probably the John Lennon factor. Love the guitars in this song.
@victorhugo-wo2ci
I think alot of people dont give her enough credit for this album, her voice actually contributes to the song. I hate her for whatever else he done on johns life but you cant tell me this song isnt amazing
@AGMundy
And I thought the transition from Losing You in to Moving On was very well done and was a good binding of the two songs which are of course connected.
