“I Need a Yoko” captures a feeling that’s very hard to tangibly place or convey with words — solace and longing. Of course, calling back to the relationship shared between Yoko and Lennon, there’s so much more to this heart aching ballad.
“I Need a Yoko” is Toby TomTom’s powerful new ballad that dives into the depths of human loneliness, drawing inspiration from the legendary bond between John Lennon and Yoko Ono. In a world where connection feels elusive, Toby delivers a haunting and emotional narrative of yearning for a love that’s profound and unwavering. Stripped down to acoustic guitar and raw, heartfelt vocals, the song echoes a feeling of isolation in search for something meaningful.
Raw, riveting, and soulful through and through, this is a wonderful piece of modern folk.
