Along with Give Peace a Chance and Imagine, Walking on Thin Ice holds a vaunted place among the collaborative works of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Indeed, it would be the final, poignant act in the story of their remarkable artistic association.
Composed by Ono, Walking on Thin Ice began to take shape for Yoko during one of the Lennons car trips between their estate in Cold Spring Harbor and New York City s Dakota apartment building. After writing the song s ethereal lyrics, Yoko challenged herself to concoct an ambitious new sound to bring the composition s music to fruition. I wanted to push it a little further, experimentally, she later recalled. So I was thinking about Alban Berg, in one of his operas, you know, where a drunk is going ahaahaahaa. Just sort of saying things, but in such a way that the emphasis is all wrong, distorted (Madeline Bocaro, Just a Story: Walking On Thin Ice, December 8, 2016).
