The Bob Dylan song that had a profound impact on Yoko Ono was "Just Like a Woman", released in 1966 on the album "Blonde on Blonde". According to Yoko, the song had a special meaning during one of the most painful nights of her life, after losing custody of her daughter Kyoko Cox in a long legal battle. Separated from her child for years, she found in Dylan's words a form of comfort in the midst of suffering. Although "Just Like a Woman" is often interpreted as a song about relationships, Yoko revealed that its emotional charge went beyond that context. For her, music conveyed vulnerability, resilience and humanity, feelings that helped her face one of the most difficult periods of her career. At the time, Yoko was living under enormous emotional pressure and was also facing intense public exposure because of her relationship with John Lennon. Bob Dylan has always been one of the couple's artistic references, and Lennon often highlighted his admiration for the composer's ability to transform personal experiences into universal lyrics. Decades later, Yoko continued to cite "Just Like a Woman" as one of the songs that touched her most emotionally, showing how a song can take on completely different meanings depending on the moment experienced by whoever listens to it.
