A message that rings true as we go forward, now more than 50 years after it was first heard.
So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun
“Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” John Lennon and Yoko Ono, the Plastic Ono Band and the Harlem Community Choir, released as an Apple single, 1971.
Though I’d long had this song on “Shaved Fish,” the 1975 compilation LP from Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band, I found this while record digging seven years ago. Delighted to have it.
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
