John wrote some great songs. He had a knack for catchy hook phrases like All You Need is Love, Give Peace a Chance, Imagine, Help, etc. Complicated his life at times but he's in the history books for a reason.
I always giggle at the very end when John breaks into his own attempt at impersonating what I believe is Ed Sullivan at Phil Spector who was producing at the time. "Really great working with you Phil..."
Oh, a John Lennon early 1971 solo Tune, as the Beatless broke up in June of 1970. Great song, this is the first I've heard this song. I'm shocked it slipped by me! Good work researching this!
Interesting. I was just listening to John Lennon not one hour before your video reaction showed up on my feed. of course John is 50% of the greatest songwriting team of the 20th century and this song is so personally his And his stormy relationship with Yoko. Your reaction is spot on Dani and always enjoyable!
@Dani- Coming from me being a Paul Guy this is one of my fav John songs post Beatles. Another good one is called Watching the wheels go round. You might want to check that one out.
John had 9 years to live and none of us knew it...this album was released in 1971. He's 30 years old here. assassinated by an idiot with a gun, age 40 in Dec 1980)-
Hi and thanks for such a heartfelt reaction of one of John Lennon's great solo songs. During his solo career he gave some genuinely great songs and few that as well as being great actually "matter" in terms of the things that they actually say. for me personally he gave us two songs that are not only great but genuinely important in what they say: "Working Class Hero" and if you can bring yourself to listen to it and if you can get it past the filters: "Woman is the Ni***r of the world" John Lennon's greatest solo work also just has to include: "Cold Turkey" "Mother" "God" "Love" "Crippled Inside" "Give Peace a Chance" "Oh My Love" "#9 Dream" "Instant Karma" "Power to the People" "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" "John Sinclair" "Woman"
During this time he was stripping himself bare psychologically - his songs of the early 70s were incredibly emotional. Bryan Ferry did a good cover of this, but the original is the best. Such a strong and beautiful song. Still miss JL.
He was going thru PrimalScreamTherapy at the time, and I guess that form of psychotherapy was really healing for him... However, he was still using heroin, so who knows?
Much of his solo work is a measure of his life experiences. The early 70s stuff tends to be of the perspective of a man wrong by those around him while after his 5 year hiatus he wrote about family and a more optimistic future.
out of curiosity, I'm the same age as this song by John Lennon, as this was the last song he produced in his life, as later one afternoon when he was returning to his hotel a fan came after him and shot him with a revolver and unfortunately John ended up dying, this song actually besides expressing feelings we can also say that it was a sentimental testament, it may not seem like it but when my fiancée died 3 years and 7 months ago, the first song of more than 20 This was what listening more than 20 times, John Lennon always conveyed messages in his songs and to this day he always makes us have a rollercoaster of feelings
Three hit singles came from the 1980 Starting Over album - Starting Over. Woman, and Watching the Wheels. Any of them would be worth a listen. But if you want to get John's sense of humor and sarcasm, you should hear The Ballad of John and Yoko from 1969 while the Beatles were coming to an end.
He was one of a kind when it came to expressing human sentiments in songwriting.
This man was abandoned by his dad, lost his uncle (substitute father figure), lost his mother and his best friend all before he was 21 😢
@@jacobmassey3897 Paul was his best friend, but I agree with the rest

John's sincerity shines through. A legend taken from us by a madman. Beautiful reaction Dani.
John is amazing. I miss him.
This is such a tremendous love ballad. Straight from his heart. Maybe you can check out more of John's great work.
Please do. Jim
one of my favorites...

Great video as always Dani. This is a great song. Wish he was still around. Alot of people can relate to this song.
My favourite male vocalist of all time ever from any genre.

One of my favoite songs from John Lennon. I like it verv much. TYD 💐💐💐💐💐
One of my favorites from the great JL! Beautiful!
Lennon wrote this song in 1968 during the Beatles retreat in Rishikesh , India . Named it child of nature but never used it until they broke up .
There are demos of it in its original form, but IMO this is a far better song.
He completely rewrote it.
Oh, a John Lennon early 1971 solo Tune, as the Beatless broke up in June of 1970. Great song, this is the first I've heard this song. I'm shocked it slipped by me! Good work researching this!
Yes, how did you miss this one haha😉
One of my favourites of his ❤
Try the song he wrote to his son, Sean: Beautiful Boy.
John didn't get to spend much time with his first son and worte this about or to Sean. Anyone with a baby boy much listen to it.
Love John Lennon, great character, songwriter, performer and what ever else he meant to everyone, a real superstar!
Pure, Raw emotion, never anyone better!

"definitely"
Hi and thanks for such a heartfelt reaction of one of John Lennon's great solo songs. During his solo career he gave some genuinely great songs and few that as well as being great actually "matter" in terms of the things that they actually say.
for me personally he gave us two songs that are not only great but genuinely important in what they say:
"Working Class Hero"
and if you can bring yourself to listen to it and if you can get it past the filters:
"Woman is the Ni***r of the world"
John Lennon's greatest solo work also just has to include:
"Cold Turkey"
"Mother"
"God"
"Love"
"Crippled Inside"
"Give Peace a Chance"
"Oh My Love"
"#9 Dream"
"Instant Karma"
"Power to the People"
"Whatever Gets You Through the Night"
"John Sinclair"
"Woman"

I loved him so much. Thank you
John Was Real"
Very authentic
Honesty. Was him. I never understood those who weren't fans but yeah i get it. John chose not to lie to whomever.

John was great we lost him way too young tragically murdered
This is one of my favorite Lennon songs. And I just want to say...Dani Atkinson, you are an absolutely beautiful woman!
i know the background of this song, yoko went out with another man and john was crushed...
A voice so missed
Real music
My favourite since 1994 🙂
Regardless of what you think of Yoko, he truly loved her. This song shows that.
Lullaby song🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What's wrong with you guys, why so few likes??😠😠 Beautiful tribute
この曲の印象的なベースを弾いている人は、ビートルズのアルバム「リボンバー」のジャケットを描いた人です。
Instant Karma!
great video. interruptions were sparse, interpretations were important. thanks
It's so sad that he was murdered at 40 years old.
Absolutely perfectly well said! I just liked and subscribed if you get a chance, pretty please listen to the song Love by John Lennon solo. Thanks.
If your going to do a reaction to this song. At least do it on the best version and best singer of this song bryan ferry
Sacrilege my friend sacrilege!.....
@@colinluckens9591 not at all just the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Amazing song but John Lennon is not really a singer.
Haha !! The most ridiculous comment I've read in years
Ummm from where the logic of this statement??.....
