Now or Never (Yoko Ono song)
"Now or Never" is a song written by Yoko Ono that was first released on her 1973 album "Approximately Infinite Universe".
It was also the lead single off the album, backed by "Move on Fast."
A remixed version of "Move on Fast" was later released as a single and reached #1 on the "Billboard" Dance Club Songs chart.
"Now or Never" is a political song.
According to John Lennon's biographer Peter Doggett, the lyrics of "Now or Never" sum up Ono's philosophy that "Dream you dream alone is just a dream/
But dream we dream together is reality.
New York Times" music critic Stephen Holden described this line as expressing a "Beatles-style utopianism."
A Yoko Ono press release described the song as a "wistful wake-up call to a tuned-out, slacked-off America."
Vietnam War historian Lee Andresen considered the song to be a protest against the war.
The notorious cover of the single release, which depicted dead Vietnamese victims of the My Lai Massacre reinforced the Vietnam connection.
Andresen describes the cover as being "the most painfully graphic of any produced by record companies during the war."
Ben Urish and Ken Bielen describe the lyrics as being "interrogative.
Rolling Stone" reviewer Nick Tosches was underwhelmed by the lyrics, using lines such as "People of America/
When will we stop/
It is now or never" as examples of the "obnoxiousness" of Ono's lyrics at the time, describing them as "philosophical and political party-line corn that went out of style with last season's prime-time TV."
The music of "Now or Never" is folk music-like in the vein of early Bob Dylan.
It was recorded in February and March 1972 at the Record Plant East in New York.
John Lennon played guitar and Elephant's Memory provided the other backing instrumentation.
Ono and Lennon co-produced the recording.
Lennon and Ono rehearsed "Now or Never" for their One on One concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York in August 1972, prior to any official release of the song, but the song was ultimately not performed in the actual concerts.
The couple did perform the song at their TV appearance for the Jerry Lewis Telethon a few days later on September 4, 1972. "
Now or Never" was the second of three songs they played at the telethon, after "Imagine" and before "Give Peace a Chance.
" At the time Lennon was under threat of deportation from the United States, and Ono introduced the song by stating that “John and I love this country very much and we’re very happy that we’re still here.”
The telethon would prove to be the couple's last performances with Elephant's Memory.
In 1984 a revised version of "Now or Never" was released on the album "
Every Man Has a Woman" celebrating Ono's 50th birthday.
This version used a children's choir to provide the vocals.
According to Urich and Bielen, this added urgency to the lyrics, "as if a very aware child were chastising the adults for what they were permitting the world to become.
"
The instrumentation was from the original 1972 sessions, including Lennon and Elephant's Memory.
In 1994 the song was included in Ono's Off-Broadway musical "New York Rock".
According to Holden, "Now or Neverdistills the childlike quality of a show that is as sweetly idealistic as it is hopelessly naive."

Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono Lennon (born February 18, 1933) is a Japanese-American multimedia artist, singer, songwriter and peace activist.
Her work also encompasses performance art, which she performs in both English and Japanese, and filmmaking.
She was married to English singer-songwriter John Lennon of the Beatles from 1969 until his murder in 1980.
Ono grew up in Tokyo and also spent several years in New York City.
She studied at Gakushuin University, but withdrew from her course after two years and moved to New York in 1953 to live with her family.
She spent some time at Sarah Lawrence College and then became involved in New York City's downtown artists scene, which included the Fluxus group.
She first met Lennon in 1966 at her own art exhibition in London, and they became a couple in 1968 and wed the following year.
With their performance "Bed-Ins for Peace" in Amsterdam and Montreal in 1969, Ono and Lennon used their honeymoon at the Hilton Amsterdam as a stage for public protests against the Vietnam War.
The feminist themes of her music have influenced musicians as diverse as the B-52s and Meredith Monk.
She achieved commercial and critical acclaim in 1980 with the chart-topping album "Double Fantasy", a collaboration with Lennon that was released three weeks before his murder.
Public appreciation of Ono's work has shifted over time and was helped by a retrospective at a Whitney Museum branch in 1989 and the 1992 release of the six-disc box set "Onobox."
Retrospectives of her artwork have also been presented at the Japan Society in New York City in 2001, in Bielefeld, Germany, and the UK in 2008, Frankfurt, and Bilbao, Spain, in 2013 and The Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2015.

As Lennon's widow, Ono works to preserve his legacy.
She funded Strawberry Fields in Manhattan's Central Park, the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland, and the John Lennon Museum in Saitama, Japan (which closed in 2010).
She has made significant philanthropic contributions to the arts, peace, Philippine and Japan disaster relief, and other causes.
In 2012, Ono received the Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt Human Rights Award.
The award is given annually in recognition of extraordinary, nonviolent commitment to human rights.
Ono continued her social activism when she inaugurated a biennial $50,000 LennonOno Grant for Peace in 2002.
