"There were a couple of reels of old Super 8 film from when they first moved into Tittenhurst Park in Ascot and from a holiday in Spetses Island in Greece, both in late 1969. It was footage filmed and directed by John and Yoko, with John filming Yoko, and Yoko filming John, really relaxed and happy and intimate with one another - Yoko's smile is particularly beautiful and unguarded - and when we put the footage to the music, it was the most perfect fit."
"The particular, otherworldly glows in some very old film stocks are preserved here, the glow of love itself, if you will. The heavy film grain, paired with the low shutter speed, recreates the visuals of a long-gone memory - not quite smooth, not recollected in its entirety, but remembered in its most important moments: a smile, sunlight glittering through hair, cerulean waves crashing up against the boat."
"It feels like a tribute to Yoko, especially as the kanji letters of 'Yōko' mean 'ocean child'. It's a rarity that fans of the famous duo see brand new footage, even when it's as fleeting as these remastered home movies."
The video showcases John and Yoko's love through intimate Super 8 footage from late 1969, filmed by themselves. The visuals evoke nostalgia with their heavy grain and low shutter speed, highlighting moments of joy and intimacy. The footage, featuring Yoko's beautiful smile, aligns perfectly with the music, creating a heartfelt tribute. The kanji for 'Yōko' translates to 'ocean child', adding depth to the representation. This remastered home movie offers fans a rare glimpse into their personal moments, emphasizing the emotional impact over grand productions.
