I suppose what I mean is, I never felt like I was part of a gang. No, that's the wrong word. Part of a MOVEMENT! That's it. It feels like there's a swirling, shining wind of change sweeping right at you, sweeping over everyone, and you're inside it. It feels like there is something that transcends you, that goes beyond whatever you are, that is great and whole and good. Great, because when it all comes together it's so much more than all its individual pieces. Whole because you're part of it and if you weren't, then both you and it would be diminished. Good because at its core is pure talent and skill, like you know you'll never have yourself. Simon Cheshire
About This Quote

Yoko Ono in her song "I suppose what I mean is" conveys the idea that she knows that there is something greater than herself, but doesn't know what. That's why she refers to it as a "swirling, shining wind of change" sweeping over everyone. It's not enough for her to feel like she's part of something special because she wants to know exactly what it is. Even if it takes her all night to put everything together in her head, she knows that when she finally gets it right, everything will be worth it.
