I love how Julian is his own man.
Absolutely!
I agree. He is more talented than Sean Lennon. I guess they get along 🤷♀️ Sean to me sounds like his mother's music.
Why wouldn't he be John was an awful dad not just leaving his mum and him but he uses to beat him everyday and tie him up etx😢
@@petesmart1983 you have a question in all that or just venting?
he had no choice….he had to sink or swim
You never get over your father leaving. Julian is testament to the wonderful woman his mother was.
It's possibly the worst Beatles song and such a ridiculous message, putting all that responsibility on a 3 year old child.
@@zootsoot2006Paul McCartney meant well when he wrote that song for Julian Lennon.I read he would visit Julian not like John Lennon
@@zootsoot2006Take it easy it’s not about you
@@Thundercloud25yes but Paul did mean well when he wrote that song to Julian. I read the same thing that he went out to visit Julian and Cynthia. And we know there was no love lost on Yoko by Paul and the rest of the Beatles at that time. The way John would bring her into the studio . She was very intrusive. None of the other Beatle woman sat in during studio time back then.
My parents separated when I was three years old, and I can absolutely concur that you are terrified and you know something really bad is happening.
Did you live off your Father's talent too?
@@Efc-f6cdidn’t turn out to be a smack head like his dad though did he!!
@@Efc-f6cJulian has tried to live his life, and can't help who his dad happens to be....
@user-ft1iz2qd2j Si because his father was a musician he can't be one also?? So if his father is a plumber and ran a successful business his son shouldn't take it over?? Do you see how moronic you sound? Let's not act like John gave him any help that would require John be a man and we all know he wasn't!!
@@Efc-f6c I'm not a big fan of the Beatles, and Julian's father had nothing to do with his impressive and helpful environmental film work or childrens' books, and nothing to do with his musical success from songs Julian himself wrote. I'll go so far as to say that the Beatles would have been a better band with him in John's place. He's a better man than his father, and you're obviously just a jealous little person projecting what you would hope to do if you had the chance.
Bill Maher asks questions but he'd much rather talk over the response than listen.
I was thinking the same thing.
He just loves the sound of his own voice.
I don’t think he knows how to shut up and listen
He only ask questions to hear himself talk !!!
Bill loves to hear himself talk. Freaking egomaniac.
@@paulmatthews6318He said something like 10 words.
Julian is a testament to Cynthia’s parenting alone…well done.
I agree it's probably for the best he wasn't around John much back then we heard the stories
I think that most people just don't understand the profound effect of parental abandonment on the psyche at such a young age ... it changes the brain development, skews perceptions and emotional reactions and even much later in life when we're supposed to be "over it", it still has an enormously profound impact!!
Exactly. Julian's father, John, went through abandonment and rejection from both his father and mother. Although his mother would see him, John was taken away from her and put in his aunt's care. So to have both your father and mother disappear from your life at a young age is going to severly impact. People want to judge John Lennon, but the trauma of his childhood clearly had a terrible impact and you're right - you don't get "over it".
I really love his song "too late for goodbyes". Kinda wish he did more music, but I understand him wanting to go his own way.
I have several of Julian's albums. Check out his website. He's also a very talented photographer.
Julian is such a humble and kind human being. I don't get why the interviewer kept on interrupting him and laughed when Julian was pouring his heart out, that was a rude attitude.
This interviewer is a douche. You should see his other interviews too... they're the same calibre of insensitivity and stupidity.
It’s one of those gifts you accept because you know what the meaning behind it is, but it also reminds you of your darkest time. It’s bitter sweet.
Bill chastising Julian on not liking the song is absolutely Unfuckingbelievable.
Damn that cut deep. Dad leaves and now I gotta listen to this reminder over and over.
Julian will always be special to me. He and Cynthia have a wonderful place in the hearts and minds of true fans and friends.They were /are Loved even today. Can't stand Yoko even now! God Bless You, Julian!
When My nanna was 13 my great grandfather took her for a drive, the song playing on the radio was "you are my sunshine" he then went onto say he was leaving my nanna and his then wife and New baby daughter to start a new life with the mistress....
About 60 years later not knowing the story, I showed my nanna the music box my then boyfriend gave me the song it played "you are my sunshine" she looked at it thoughtfully then told me the story.... ending with its lovely but it brings back very sad memories for me...I can never here that song without thinking of that day. 😢..
Julian I hear you.❤
I think your comment was, as you are Julian....Real, Respectful, And Tactful.
Hello Laurel,
Thank you for your love and support also for being an amazing fan 🌹
Interesting man ,very talented, better looking than his father, has a shadow hanging over him ,son of a legend
I believe the song was originally to be called Hey Jules and was about Julian.
The pain of his father leaving is still so evident.
BTW Julian looks really good. 😊
Good for you Julian, I'm glad he made his own way in life, A child doesn't understand fame and fortune, they just want a mom and dad and love.
As a mad Beatles fan, I visited Liverpool and did a personalised tour of the Beatles houses and places where they met and played.
When we got to John Lennon's house, I was shown where his mother was killed crossing the road and was told of the abandonment/rejection by John's parents - even his mother who couldn't care for him. And how he would, as a young boy, visit the orphanage at Strawberry Fields to sit with the children there as he felt so terribly abandoned himself, even though he lived with his (strict) aunt Mimi.
Clearly, John Lennon didn't have the emotional intelligence to deal with his early marriage/responsibilities, and the demons from his early trauma ran very deep. To expect him to be this great father to Julian is an unrealistic expectation.
In later years, when Sean was born, John was clearly in a different mindset.
Regardless of all the judgement against John, he was never going to be capable of doing any differently towards Julian as that was the templar his own parents embedded in his childhood memories.
Well, we love u Julian. You carried a torch when we are needed a home run hitter. Great job on your own music.
This reminded me of all the people making jokes to Billie Joe Armstrong about Wake Me Up When September Ends, a song about his own father passing away, but at least Billie Joe wrote and released the song himself. Julian had no choice in the matter of this song about a very vulnerable time in his life being performed released by one of the most famous bands in the world and inevitably becoming remembered by millions of people everywhere.
Hello Cecilia,
Thank you for your love and support also for being an amazing fan 🌹
Paul stopped visiting Julian. I love him. Julian has a really sweet heart.
You just never know what a person is thinking & feeling, but I know now…..at least about how Julian feels about the song. I feel bad, he relives sad memories, when he hears that song.
Bill Maher: “Whatdya hate about it?!?!”
Julian: “…Really, Bill?”
"what do you hate about it?" Well it's only one of the most famous songs in the world and it's only about the defining trauma of my life.
John was incredible...look at this beautiful man he produced...be blessed in your heritage. It was a bad choice but Julian you are a gift to the rest of us he didn't even realize who he brought into this world. I thank John...Julian you are remarkable... it's in your genes😊🎶🎵🎼
Abandonment is real no matter if you have counseling. Forgiveness is very difficult. Understand.
"REALLY? What do you hate about it??" Bill is unbelievable.
Hey Jude 😩
If I never hear it again, I'll be fine
Hello Melissa,
Thank you for your love and support also for being an amazing fan 🌹
I don’t blame you, Julian I wouldn’t want to hear this song either. The worst time in my life being played over and over again i’m sure it’s great🤷🏻♀️. I wish you the most peace in the world for you. I’m sure it’s Just a reminderof the hurt, you felt at the time.❤️✌️🌼
I'm a special needs bus driver and one of the preschool kids on my bus is named Jude. I've sung it to him a few times and he at 3 years old said "don't sing that, that's what my mom sings. And I haven't seen her. It makes me sad." I found out she left him because she does drugs.... Darkness and sadness....
John wrote hey jude as an apology for abandoning julian. The changed it from hey jules to hey jude because he found it catchier/easier to sing. If that isnt a microcosm of how john felt about and treated julian, i dont know what is.
Paul not John
That black and white picture was taken in Durness, North West Scotland.
Hard to believe he’s 60 years old now.
Would love to hear Julian’s take on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," since he inspired that song as well.
Interesting to hear background of that song ! I didn’t realize! It’s sad that he has that memory of his father! It’s always the children who suffer when families break up!
What a great man Julian is, hopefully John would have realised this, a talent in his own right and a great soul
As a grown man you must come to terms with the imperfections of parents ... he had a wonderful Mother.. and will always be richer than any of us... please stop whining
Doors will open for him that will never open for any of us.... let it go.... I'll take his life and lineage any day over my job...really do any of you recall what happened when you were 3????
He was 6
I have so much respect for Julian Lennon🕊️🤍
Love Julian he's a a warm human being x
“Hey Julian, you remember that song that Paul wrote for you to comfort you because your dad was leaving you and your mother? Remember that song? How does it make you feel?”
Understand it Julian. Still always loved the song and sing it like Macca.... You know what, I'll make it; Hey dude
Julian should write a song about Yoko.
McCartney's intentions in writing that song were bourne out of Love, Concern,
and Empathy for basically his Nephew.
Paul's personal Heartbreak for John's first born Son was intense enough to render a beautiful song about strength,
and essentially forgiveness.
Paul KNEW Julian was going to be
shut out of his Father's life and instead of remaining silent about it, Paul used his incredible gift to offer Julian some kind of comfort when everybody else
just remained quiet about it.
Paul wrote "Hey Jude" because
ONLY Paul could write "Hey Jude."
There weren't many people in those days
who would, or were even capable of standing up to Lennon when he was being a total b@stard.... and make no mistake, Lennon could be, and sometimes WAS a total b@stard.
Paul wasn't afraid to point it out to EVERYONE: "Right! This little Boy
is going to suffer a major loss here!
Somebody should comfort him.
....I'll be that somebody."
Yoko WILL reap the bitterness she has sewn... it's that thing John once wrote about: *KARMA.*
Embrace it Julian, change your mindset of it, we only live once. Accept your past and write some songs about your life. I never knew my dad, accept it, best wishes
The most poignant moment of this is the true light shown on how divorce affects small children. It’s the truth.
Certain songs bring up sad memories for me. Mostly related to my divorce. I have forgiven my ex, but sometimes the memories hurt. I don’t judge another man for his feelings of abandonment. Julian has to deal with it his way. I do think forgiveness is the key
"make sure of all things (Julian) &" hold fast to what is fine "(1Thess.5 :21) and whatever that is for you.....
Julian is his own person. ❤ w I give him a lot of credit ❤
I totally understand where Julian is coming from.
Love him and I hate how John did him.
Really you had a great and happy birthday 🎂🎉 Julian
I like Julian. I can see there were pluses and minuses to being John Lennons son, but overall, he is a lot better off than the majority of boys born in 1963 England.
I sang it in the 7th grade for our talent show. 😅
Wonder how Paul introduced that song to the group? "Hey guys - I wrote a sympathy note to the boy our mate John abandoned"
Bill needs to listen and not interupt
2016-2020 the phony “interviewer” dropped their act and showed who they really were and can’t stop
He talks way too much on his podcast
He loves the sound of his own voice
Yep
And the inappropriate laughing
And then John died, Julian was mostly left out of the will and had to sue Yoko, who fought in court for 16 YEARS to avoid giving Julian any more money, but finally settled. I can see why Julian may not hold his father in the same high esteem that others do. And Yoko, well, I'm not going to use that kind of language in a public post. But you know what she is, don't you?
😊😊
A wicked woman
I bet it starts with a c
Why do rotten people thrive and live such long lives...all that awful screeching she does as well 😢
John and Yoko were both self centered asswagons. To treat Julian as they did is tragic. All respect for them has been lost. May Jesus bless Julian.
I love Julian's song, "Too Late For Goodbyes." He sings that so well. Best wishes to dear Julian for always.
I loved that song of Julian's at 10-yrs old. Imagine you get into The Beatles at 8-yrs old in 1981, and you find out that one of their 2 front men are gone?! Nevertheless I'm taking the time machine to 1983 to play that song right now! "Too Late For Goodbyes"..AMEN!!
Listen to Julian's current works. Great music.
I love his song Saltwater. He sounds so sad when he sings. He has such a beautiful voice ❤
I still love his song Stick Around and the video is a hoot!😂
One of the best songs of the 80’s, even ignoring the John Lennon connection.
I remember a while after his Mum Cynthia Lennon died and Julian wasn't invited to some event honoring his Dad that he clearly should have been- he did a rant on how he really felt about it on some social media. Then he shortly after deleted it and replaced it with a warm sentiment from his Mum about not wanting to be ugly like them and thanking his Mother for teaching him how to handle hard times with dignity. ❤ I always liked Julian and hated how things happened with John leaving and acting like they never existed. 😮 My level of respect increased for him because of how he handled that with the same grace and class Cynthia would have, really touched my heart that day! ✌️
I’ve met him a few times. He’s really nice.
I can’t blame him for ranting. It’s nice he reflected and retracted his statement, remembering his mum. Most people CANNOT do that, myself included.
Idk about that, I'm kinda admiring your ability to recognize and acknowledge how hard it was for him to have self control in that situation and then admitting you think you would fall short if placed in the same position- not everyone can do that either
This is the realist comment I've seen in a long while, very well put friend!
@@MrParkinthedark Thank you kind Sir!
The scars are there forever . You never forget the hurt or pain . Doesn't matter how old you get . Bless Julian
Absolutely.
Perfectly said
sorry Jullian but there is forgiveness. We all make mistakes some are bigger than others.
in my opinion, it’s always i
portent to take a sad song and make it better
@@reneeg4817it’s not to you to suggest he forgive. He and his mom were on the receiving end of a royal shafting. His dad, unfortunately, said some fairly awful things later, such as Julian “being born out of a bottle on a Saturday night.” He was also left out of his dad’s will.
Hey Jude is a testament to Paul’s nature as a human being.
Proverbs 25:20
Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on a wound, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
It’s the song of fools.
The song is in the key of F Major with the subject matter of someone leaving their child to commit adultery.
Paul McCartney writing pop/rock songs that end up in a nah nah nah nah pub style chorus to cheer a young boy up didn’t really help.
The sheet lyrics gifted to Julian were at his Fathers and Yoko’s place when John died. Yoko refused to return the original sheet lyrics among other belongings to Julian when John died.
As a result of all this Julian had to buy them back secretly when Yoko put the lyrics up for auction.
How ridiculous is that?
Tbf it was probably a fuck you to John as well 😂
Paul should’ve been his dad lol adoption
@@SW-fn7clsure was he hated yoko :)
@@SW-fn7cl that’s what I was thinking 🤔
Bill Maher makes such a fool out of himself in front of Julian. I love that Julian doesn’t budge on a lot of his inappropriate questions. I watched the interview.
Is it on youtube anywhere?
BILL sometimes likes to think he knows more than the person he's interviewing
@@bobf.5538he is a terrible interviewer
@@merricat3025yeah I wish this out of touch clown would just go away already
@@bobf.5538~ Sometimes?
People always say how resilient children are when it comes to their parents splitting up. You can tell it still hurts him even at his age.
It’s total nonsense. I never got over my parents divorce. Ever.
And yet people are so judgemental towards John Lennon for being who he was, despite John Lennon having his own lived trauma of rejection/abandonment by his father and mother who, regardless of loving him/visiting him, couldn't care for him and thus, he was taken away and put in the care of his aunt Mimi.
Unfortunately, John Lennon didn't/couldn't cut the trauma cycle and it continued and impacted on Julian.
But if people are not going to judge Julian, they shouldn't judge his father.
@@mariafantasia1191 not a fan of John Lennon.
@60Airflyte Who cares? What does it matter?
@@mariafantasia1191 struck a nerve, did I?
What an insensitive, dumb question to ask him, Bill. It was written by Paul for Julian, bcs he was trying to console Julian when John abandoned him. Of course, it's not a happy song for him. Get a clue, Bill.
Bill is emotionally immature, the drinking doesn't help either.
I know imagine only been famous for your dad leaving you
That question is totally out of place.Paul composed to help Julian.
No. According to Paul, Julian was the inspiration for the song, but it really wasn’t “for” Julian, or about him.
@@OConnorTnP1 damn
My dad was a lot like John Lennon in terms of personality. Nobody wrote a song for me, but it hurts when I hear people saying what a great guy he is. I can't imagine how it is with a whole planet doing so.
@@johnbarry1965 That's rubbish. Perhaps you feel like garbage hence your need to project it.
So sorry that you had to endure this crap... wish it had been different and empathise totally. So unjust and despicable.
@@mariafantasia1191John Lennon was a louse. It's the person who lives in fantasia land who is projecting. The name says it all.
@@johnbarry1965 I'm not sure about the "great voice" and "great songs" part, but I'm with you on the last part.
Julian Lennon and Cynthia Lennon are far more dignified than either John Lennon or Yoko Ono.
@@mariafantasia1191 Nah, you're the one projecting rubbish. Go away.
I have such respect for this man! He was a protector of his mother who obviously had a difficult time when John left her. He grabbed the leadership role and preformed it well!
He was 3yrs old 🤦
@@timwoodger7896 Yes, but later on he did. duh!
@@timwoodger7896
So? And what of it?
We're well aware that he was only a toddler when his irresponsible father abandoned him and his mom. Nobody said otherwise. Julian grew up in a fatherless home and when he was old enough to step up and become the man of the house, he did so.
Any parent who abandons their child loses my respect.
Especially for a hippie demanding peace.
Even worse when you find out he was a wife beater, too.
@@yesi2117 once you know of :)
@@chshaw87 That is BS.
He got divorced. It happens. It's not like he stopped seeing his son.
My daughter’s father did the same thing, when she was three. Her first sad memory in her life was that incident, as he was carrying his clothes out the door. He moved out of state for another woman. That betrayal messed her up in later life. She still deals with it sometimes.
i knew his mother thru Louise Harrison. she knew i was shot on my job in 1984. one night at dinner she asked me about me being shot and what did it feel like and did i know i had been shot and if it hurt. she said she wanted to know if John had been in any pain when he was shot. she had put a lot of thought in if John had suffered when he was shot. i did not want to hurt her anymore being told about how many times he was shot and other things about his shooting. i just told her that he probably would have not knew anything being in shock.. i was trying not to make it worse for her as she had really been thinking about his death. you could tell she had deep feelings still about him. and i tried to tell afew white lies to make her feel that he never suffered and did not know because he would have been in shock. i just tried to take her mind from things about that . his mother was too me a very lovely lady. his mother talked so much about Julian and i believe she raised him to care about people and he had manners when it came to how he treated women.. but his mother really thought about him often. i was so sad when I heard she passed . I will always have good memories of Cynthia. I was in Toronto Canada with Cynthia and she was telling me that Julian was in N.Y. fighting Yoko in court over his inheritance . she was supposed to release his money to him and she was refusing to give his his money he was to get. Yoko was a real piece of work.. there are so many things about her that folks don't know about her. and it would probably be to her benefit for folks not to know more.. but i want Julian to know his mother talked about him all the time i was with her.. he had bad times but i think his mother did alright by him..
Cynthia must have been devastated when John was murdered by that lunatic. John was the father of her child and probably the love of her life. They were young when they married and his success would overcome their relationship. Thank you for the insight, it gives us a look into her life and how the loss of John was monumental, even though he had left her.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry you were shot. Hope there were no lasting effects. Both Julian and his mum seem like exemplary people.
Thank you for your story. I loved John as a music person, but its crappy and unacceptable what he done to Julian, the first born and looks like him the most!! I'm glad he finally got his money from the wicked witch...He's a great musician also...His mother sounds like a wonderful lady..😢❤
Thanks for sharing. Yoko is a nut and a monster
Thank God you survived what happened to you. I feel so sorry for Julian and his Mum. What John and Yoko did was unethical and deplorable.
I agree. Painful reminder for him and Cynthia. And John didn't realize he was doing the same thing to Julian that Alfred did to him and Julia.
How could he not know that?!
@@Coneman3 Because John was all about John.
That line "I'm in love for the first time" from the song, "Don't Let Me Down" must have stung Cynthia badly. I do not respect John Lennon for abandoning his wife and child. Not good.
Yes I think he was a very selfish person. Even if he never loved her and the relationship wasn’t going to work, he could still have kept in touch and seen his son. For many, money is the big issue but rich Lennon didn’t have that problem. He didn’t seem a kind man at all.
@@Coneman3he fell in love with yoko, he is not the only child with parents divorced...shut up julian, shut up
“What do you hate about it?” Bill can be so clueless sometimes.
Yep, and then he started interrupting and speaking over Julian.
Sometimes ??😂😂
Mostly
Bill is such an arrogant prick .most of , no all of the time.
Most of the time. It's pretty obvious if you know anything about Julien and what kind of father/husband John Lennon was.
Paul was trying to help Julian the best way he knew how, by writing that song for him. Julian is honest, soft-spoken, and can express himself without being angry. Well done.
And everybody talks about John being the ‘peace and love’ Beatle. What about Paul. It’s one thing to preach it; another to live it
John talked about peace and love a lot, but he didn’t practice what he preached very well.
Paul was the "write songs cash checks" Beatle.
Paul is lovely, kind, a real mate and an adult!, He handled his Mom's death and soldiered on... and yes he had his Dad still but he is just the real deal, and unlike John, Paul wasn't a great musician like John, he was a musical genius.
Just as I clicked on the replies here Let It Be comes on the radio ❤️
@@Jgasporrap Did you mean to say Paul McCartney wasn’t a great musician?
Paul would go over and spend the day with Julian many times. He was like a second father..Uncle Paul
Watch this whole interview man. Julian said him and Paul rarely have seen each other throughout Julian’s life. A few photos from the early days was at most the time Paul spent with him. It’s not as frequent as people thought
The PR was quite effective.
It's hilarious how people just make shit up in their head about other people's lives then accept it as fact
@@SmoothBaracudathat's basically how _any_ interpretation of truth works. You are convinced of this one "fact" coz you haven't heard otherwise. Mohammed, Jezus, Buddha have got billions of followers based on this concept.
@@reuireuiop0Clearly you are one of those people because you have convinced yourself that there is only one fact about each of them.
John was a man with a great talent but wen a father leaves his little son of 3 jeers old behind and go on living his life, he is an narcist without a hart . He’s cold as ice. Forgive my bad English i live in the Netherlands. Big hug for you and a kiss 🥰❤️
Yes more and more has come about about how John wasn’t a very nice person much of the time. I’m sure this played a part in the split with Paul.
Well done on your English . Your message is understood . At the end of the day ' All you need is love ♥️' .✌️☮️
Him leaving wasn’t as bad as him being rich but not supporting his child.
@@KCCheezI agree, Cynthia and Julian deserved so much more. Not just money but dignity and respect too.
John wasn’t a man at all. He also liked to beat on women. He wasn’t as talented as he gets credit for. He fell in with the right guys at the right time and they get put on a pedestal but the Beatles as a group are overrated and John’s the least talented member.
He's a really nice guy thanks to his mum ❤
nope. his Mom is a c*nt
Yep because his dad was a piece of shit who abused women and children.
Well said.
I love It's much too late for Good byes 🎶 🎵 That was a great statement to His Father.
When I think of the whole context of the song, yeah it's sad. Real sad. Especially since I went through the exact pain...
Countless millions of us did, mate.
Me too...my Dad left when I was 3.5, left my mom with 4 kids under 6. Ran off with another woman and her 2 kids. Never helped or gave my mom any money. Even her car got repoed when he quit making the payments. Total bum.
Yeah, those who went through it know.
@@stevedaniels3064 3.5? That's very precise!
I saw Julian twice in concert in the mid 80’s. He was really good.
Much better than Sean I've heard. I still have a couple of his CD singles, and they still hold up to this day. Yokohama erased him from Beatles and lennon history.
"Imagine no family responsibilities....you may say I'm a dreamer....."
Good one.
WHAT kind of person wouldn't make sure the child of their spouse wasn't taken care of? Even if their spouse was a jerk! I hope Sean takes care of him when Yoko dies. SHAME ON HER! I used to feel bad when people made fun of her singing. Never again.
Best part of music from your father is you❤
He is an amazing human. His philanthropy work with lupus and other charities is inspiring.❤
Lol nonsense priveleged kid thats all no talent
Paul was more of a father figure to Julian than John was, but then, John hadn't set the bar very high either.
Paul was far more paternal than John ever was. Look how well he treated Linda’s daughter Heather.
@@johnwilliams1223: True.
@@johnwilliams1223Yep, by actually adopting her and raising her as his own, along with her mother of course ..how lucky was Heather?? Can you imagine by the luck of the draw you get adopted by a Beatle and JPM no less! ❤
Paul never became a full time father like John did with Sean
@@hw343434:
Lennon may have been staying home and putting out PR as though he was a ¨full-time¨ father but you can be sure the nanny and housekeeper were doing the real work. He played father when he felt like it. The stay-at-home-dad thing was a gimmick like the Peace and Love schtick in the early Seventies. It provided cover for his reclusiveness and laziness.
Julian’s memory of being three is most likely when this started. When the public hears the breakup is official, there was probably a period before that where John just wasn’t there doing his father role. This song was made for Julian by Paul McCartney, who was basically his uncle. Paul has said so himself. Perhaps it was an outcry and healing process for Paul and Julian, but not made for John.
And Paul Was a Much Better Father Uncle than John was capable of, as John would ask Paul How do you do that? meaning play good with all the Kids coming along their collective ways..
Paul Knew Love from Both Parents. and Aunts and Uncles Buddies and Girlfriends. Paul has all great Input Even had John Lennon. its obvious why He carries On still Touring.
Or To to Kick Mick Jagger's Ass.?
No just Fooling
Boring song.
I LOVE Paul Mcartney's voice. He gives it so much resonance . Also on Oh Darling.
Thanks for your therapeutical analyses of a song about whose circumstance you are obviously deeply and profoundly involved with
John Lennon thought that the song was Paul saying he was okay/good with Yoko bring a part of John's life and becomimg his main partner. Imagine that...
We can’t expect him to feel the same way we feel about the Beatles.
The Beatles are also humans who commits sin just like any other humans. John Lennon is a great and legendary singer as the whole world knows but dismal as a husband and father to Cynthia and Julian.
I used to think the world of John. Then after learning about what he did to Julian and how he beat women, I never thought of him the same way. We are all human but to do those things to a child and women and then call yourself a man of peace is certainly hypocritical.
He hit Cynthia Lennon once and couldn't look her in the eye for months and promised he'd never hit another woman again. She said as far as she knew, he never did. That's her own words.
@@robbsclassicshe’s still a PoS. I believe him an his whore used world peace to try to reconcile what they truly were.
When I heard he beat women, I respected him even more……..
I remember reading the book by Cynthia Lennon in my teens and realizing what an azz John Lennon actually was.
Who did he beat?
Julian's life is all about his dad, in interviews.....
He is a musician in his own right.
Bill seems so ignorant in this it's amazing.
I love Julian now that he is getting matured . He thinks first before he talks slowly very humble. He was been bless with awesome voice and he is lucky. Keep up having a beautiful heart 🙏❤️😊
Julian was sensitive , humble and selfless. John was narcississtic, insecure, blunt and vicious. ☝️🤨
Julian has his Dads voice and his Mother’s heart. Best it was that way round.
“A stark and dark reminder of what happened”. Truly, Julian does well to forgive his father. Bill seems to have trouble understanding how insensitive / cruel John could be.
Even John admitted himself he hadn’t been a good person.
Bill is a freaking idiot!
My dad could be bitter, arrogant, and abusive just like John, but he didn’t leave. It took me a long time to forgive him, too. Fortunately, it was before he passed away.
John was unbelievably selfish and have everything to Yoko and her son which is awful! They haven’t got an ounce of talent Julian does. Plus that song made about Shaun Lennon. Makes my blood boil when you think about this one in regular to Julian who was only 3! He didn’t do anything to deserve this, His his Mother was supporting him alone.
@@mejustme474 Sean and Julian actually have a good relationship these days. I guess they both realized you can’t resent your brother for what your father did.
I get it, my Dad walked out on us kids, it was hard many times. All my love and respect for Jilian Lennon for keeping it together! ❤️❤️❤️
There is darkness, pain and sadness when a parent leaves. It's a hole I will always live with even though I've forgiven them. I've found peace but it can creep up on me. Love and understanding
No child should be abandoned. May God continue to give you the strength you need to live your best life
I divorced with my ex when my son was about 3. I hoped he would be young enough to accept it but in some ways it has stayed with him. I pretty much dedicated myself to him. I've sacrificed relationships to be the best Dad I can be to him. I always felt he deserves that and I owe that to him. I think him knowing he's my priority has made a difference.
Yoko ono literally took away from the world. She didn't add anything good
Dads! DO NOT a walk away from your wife and kids! If there’s abuse then that’s a different story-get you and your kids to safety. Abandonment is lifelong destruction of the family unit and to our emotional well-being. Men are called by God to be providers, protectors and leaders of the household. Treat your wife like a queen and she will treat you like a king. Do not aggravate your children, but bring them up with love and discipline. It’s that easy.
Amen
Amen. Too many fatherless homes in this world. I appreciate every dad thats active in their familys lifes 🙏
I send total love to Julian Lennon, hope he's doing well! Paul wrote it as a love song to him but grown up Julian, probably has had enough flashback of an unhappy time in his childhood.🥺💕💕
While millions starve etc
@@dontgoout1434your not very smart
@@dontgoout1434 Of course there are more serious, even worse things in the world....that doesn't mean that abandoned children can't feel a great deal of pain too - when someone is rejected by their own mother or father, it can be a hurt more acute, profound and long-lasting than even physical discomfort (though probably not as bad as starving I admit😥)
I was an infant when my mother left. The void she left was unfixable. You feel the pain, and keep feeling it until you just make peace with it.
Julian life has been much better because John was violent to him and his mother most days
Bless you. ❤
“Well it’s much too late for goodbye’s”
My parents were divorced when I was 2 years old, and I have memories of them together, I remember a Christmas, I remember how it was. Then it went bad, my mom did wrong, my family fell apart and it’s been a wreck ever since that we’re all used to (sisters and I) but it’s generally snowballed a bit worse every year. I’m not sour that my family wasn’t the “ideal American family” but I understand what he means that it’s a reminder of a bad time.
Forgive the Universe.
Jules, I just want to give you a giant hug.
That's like asking William and Harry why they don't love listening to Elton John's remake of Candle in the Wind for their Mum's funeral.
John walked out on his wife, son, family, Beatles for.....Yoko ,...wtf
