London, Sep 14 - Late Beatle legend John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono has revealed she barely knows the band's songs and only realised their music is 'special' when she recently revisited their back catalogue.

Avant-garde artist Ono met Lennon in 1966 at the height of the Fab Four's fame and was wed to the rock legend until his death in New York in 1980. But she has confessed she is no expert on the band's music, and gained a new appreciation of the tracks when she helped organise the release of remastered versions of their albums earlier this month, reports express.co.uk.

'I didn't know the Beatles' songs so well until I started to become responsible for them. Having to check it, listen to it, and make sure everything is alright reminded me how each one has some kind of special energy,' she said.

Ono is also adamant the new 'The Beatles: Rock Band' video game is a good move because it will spearheads a second coming for the band.

'It's not about chopping heads. It's going to promote peace and love. It's going to be fantastic. It is like the second Beatles revolution in a sense. It's going to make this planet into an artistic place... I think John would have loved it,' she said.
