Remastered from the original 'Milk and Honey' master.

This a rare music video sourced from a Laser Disc copy of 'John Lennon - Video Collection'.

"Nobody Told Me" is a John Lennon song, featured as the first single released from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Milk and Honey album in 1984. The song was originally written for Ringo Starr to include on his Stop and Smell the Roses album, but Lennon died before the song could be used. "Nobody Told Me" was Lennon's last single to reach the top ten on Billboard magazine's Hot 100, peaking at #5.

The B-side features Yoko Ono's "O'Sanity", also from the Milk and Honey album.

The lyrics make reference to "a little yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu" which is similar to a line from J. Milton Hayes' poem entitled The Green Eye of the Yellow God. Hayes' line was "There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Kathmandu".

Another line in the song is "There's UFO's over New York and I ain't too surprised", apparently a reference to a UFO sighting Lennon had back in 1974. He made reference to this in the liner notes to his 1974 album Walls and Bridges with the message: "On the 23rd August 1974 at 9 o'clock I saw a U.F.O. - J.L.".

The tag line "Nobody told me there'd be days like these..." is in contrast to the old saw "My mother told me there'd be days like this."

The video was a clipshow, as are most posthumous Lennon videos.

I just love this John Lennon tune but the video is great as well. Love the back to back takes of them dancing hand in hand down a sidewalk dressed both in all white and then cut to them dancing properly around what appears to be a desk. They just seemed so happy, for the most part that is, I do realize no marriage is always bliss.

Can anyone tell me what is being whispered to one another at the beginning of the video? I can only make out what Yoko says.

Why was this song released 3-4 years after his death?

Dig that funky woodblock / piano breakdown before the choruses.

John Lennon was one of the olive branches of Revelation 11 and his death is what shortened these latter days, Number 9 must never go to the big apple.
