Two less controversial, yet equally challenging and experimental albums were released in addition to Two Virgins; Unfinished Music No.2: Life with the Lions, and Wedding Album, both in 1969.
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.

Love
John Lennon & Yoko Ono Lyrics
Every man has a woman who loves him
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
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
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

"Love"
Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved
Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved
Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
we can be
Love is free, free is love
Love is living, living love
Love is needing to be loved

Happy 90th Birthday Yoko Ono
@thebadseed90
John really loved Yoko. Despite what anyone says, she made him very happy. It’s so evident in this song and video.
@timothyvetitoe9582
It must be something New by John I'm clicking on that right now ! Damm I knew I shouldn't have ! My phone is shutting off by itself !!
@JohnSmith-wo7ns
I agree, but mother maybe too
@adamdorgant9454
True!!!

Regardless of what people's personal feelings are towards Yoko Ono or their opinion on the circumstances surrounding how the Lennon/Ono relationship started, there is no denying, some of the the most beautiful songs John ever composed were the ones he wrote about her. She evoked a tenderness in him that nobody else ever did. Cynthia Lennon even acknowledged in her autobiography that she knew she had truly lost John the day he met Yoko.

I love the pause and silence in the end before the final melody plays.
@-bri3974
Nobody should be hating her. She made John really happy and if John sees how people treat her, he would be dissapointed.

È così.... Guarda la luce nei suoi occhi
@bonysminiatures3123
he certainly would be
