... that Yoko Ono considered her 1971 song "Listen, the Snow Is Falling" to be the first pop song she ever wrote? Source: Mansfield "The first pop song — if you can say pop song — I ever wrote was "Listen, the Snow Is Falling." I did that before we got together. Then, when we got together, I made it into a real pop song. When you see the original, you couldn't pick out why it was a pop song."
- ALT1:... that despite tension during the recording sessions and Yoko Ono's reputation for singing like a "howling banshee," her 1971 song "Listen, the Snow Is Falling" turned out "relaxed and graceful"? Source: Blaney: "The studio atmosphere may have been tense, but the recording sounded as relaxed and graceful as her earlier recordings had sounded tense and feral." and Mason "The original was probably the most conventionally pretty song Ono ever wrote, with an expressive, albeit limited, melody and simple, graceful words far removed from Ono's howling banshee image."
