- Julian Lennon - Saltwater
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how the forest have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted my how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes

His mother did such an amazing job raising him to have a gentle caring soul.
❤
I'm here for this in 2024.. I loved this song back in 1991 when I was 13 years old.. still love it now 33 years later ❤
Technology has advanced, but the world has gotten more ravaged as our population has grown..
And yes humankind still thinks it's clever.. yet there is still so much suffering going on.. for our species and so many others.
And no.. the irony is not lost on me as I'm sitting here typing this on my smartphone enjoying the spoils of modern society.
all we need to do is remove all the J's and the world would be fine.
Same!
Criminal that Julian's music doesn't get air play. Forget who he's related to. He's his own man. Own artist. Loved him from day one. ❤
@tomholloway5866 ❤
Thank you for expressing exactly what I was thinking, and putting it so eloquently.
Sorry, can[t escape it.
This song was number 1 in Australia when it first came out.
Great song. This went to Number 1 in Australia, because it deserved to. 🇦🇺 🪶
Indeed ❤️🙏🏻
I remember I first learned it in kindergarten when I lived in Canberra, my school had this awesome casual "music teacher" who would come in with his guitar and get all us kids to sing along to this and "Bright Eyes" by Art Garfunkel... he seemed to _really_ love those two songs, haha. For years I had no idea who it was by, but the lyrics remained in my head due to my passion for environmental conservation (fostered by this song, Midnight Oil and the music video for Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution")... it wasn't until 2 years ago, 2½ decades later, that I discovered the actual song. Julian Lennon really deserved more recognition, he wasn't just some nepotism baby coasting through life.
This song was ahead of its time. His voice is just beautiful. I could listen to this all day. ❤️
@Greg NormalHi, yes. I am a huge fan of Julian Lennon.
@Greg Normal I'm ok, how are you?
You're so right. This song and Julian as an artist are both unfairly underrated. What he sings about then, the video of people in masks....that's now. A man so ahead of his time, his dad's son through and through
Yep, that's right, back in the 60s
Perhaps not ahead of its time but something that transcends time, it's meaning as relevant then as it is now and true since the fall of man.
This is such an EPIC song & extremely underrated....
Whose still listening to this is 2020? 🙏
yes i am it is a beautiful song
me 😀
WOW!!! Prescient! 😬🤔🙃🤭😊🌟💛💫🎢👏🌌.. Hauntingly beautiful. Sadly 😔 future-fortelling. Great choice of song, Amanda... Let's join forces in our own way- to uplift energy and help improve our planet ?👍🌄
Me
Even more know.... seems the world is one f'd up place atm.. songs like this highlight how beautiful we can be but destructive all at the same time
I can actually remember this coming out in the charts at the time. I was about ten years old at the time. Does anyone else find it astonishing that this is now 30 years old? It is scary how quickly time passes isn't it?
I am shocked it didnt do better in the charts, its a great song
No. It seems like thirty years ago.
Yeah I just heard my other half playing this in the other room and went through to listen in a wave of nostalgia, remembering it from school when i was a similar age. He said "yeah it came out 30 years ago" and I told him he was lying. No way it was 30 years, I refuse to believe it. *cries in old*
I've been saying it for the last few years. I always remember my mother saying to me don't wish your life away, time goes quick as you get older. I used to laugh at her, but do you know what? She was right. I also think that when you was younger, you had more to look forward to, birthdays and Christmas used to feel like it was a million miles away. Now I don't look forward to that much, it's here every five minutes, scary stuff...
🙂👍
@@Director448 Reached number 6 in the UK, which is no disgrace . Also it was very popular in Australia, where it stayed at no.1 for 4 weeks. And in Ireland it charted at no.5 !!!!! Great song
Woke up this morning with this song in my head , how nice to listen to it again !
Yes I agree a awesome song juilan Lennon a awesome singer and song writer alot of great songs
He is so amazing. He should do music that could influence the world. We need him and his spirit
Me too! Haven't thought of it in over a decade!
Totally agree
Good golly I did the same today, isn’t it just beautiful?! Chris Cornell would also have sung this beautifully 💜
Thank you Julian...you make the world a better place...this song is awesome. You are Brilliant.🙏🙏🙏🌍🌍🌍
My husband loved this song! RIP Tom Root
What father would be disappointed that his son followed in his footsteps? Emulating a parent is the most natural thing in the world. Most parents would be overjoyed. If John Lennon was an Iron Worker and Julian became one too, he'd get a pat on the back and his father would be proud. "Chip off the old block." Great song!
This one of the best songs of the 90's. I'm so sick of the press constantly trying to compare him to John and The Beatles. In one interview he said: "I got people telling me that I shouldn't use cellos in my songs because The Beatles used cellos. Like, what's wrong with these people?!"
Julian was a very deep, profound and talented musician in his own right. He had struggles with his life after the "Help Yourself" album which virtually zucced his recording career after that.
Now he is a very talented photographer and content with his life. Good on him. I'm sure that Cynthia and John would be so proud of him if they were still alive today.
Yes Julian is a talented musician and. He's his own person But he's not his dad & He shouldn't have to take all the.presssure from the press or the music field. Leave the kid alone and let him put on ut more hit songs.........
Julian - you should get together with the surviving Beatle members and re record those Beatles songs. Have you ever considered doing that.
@@von5543 To ask him to do that - you don’t know his story
I was so disappointed that John cut Julian out of his will, he fought in court for 16yrs & received very little, as did Cynthia in the divorce 😡
Sorry but what do you mean by "Zucced" ??.
Not being clever it's a genuine question.
Thank you.
I'm listening to this lovely song in 2022 and it should last forever. Thanks Julian!
and 2024 Tina
Is Julian a Prophet
Happy Easter
this message is even more relevant now than when Julian wrote it.
Used this song for an English analyse, suck a strong message towards conservation and environmental quality
EricG it is a beautiful song
EricG
Definitely
He didn't write it..
It was relevant the moment man stood on two legs, and it will carry on being relevant until we go extinct, humans are designed to destroy themselves.
This Song is so apt for Right Now in 2023 ❤🌱🌿its Unbelievable How Julian’s Artistry goes Unnoticed he is a very Talented Man,not just his Music but also his Photography and I do believe he wrote or illustrated a book about Our Planet ❤❤❤
I’ll have to check out that book. Thanks for mentioning it!
🖤🖤🖤
Julian is truly a superb writer and singer. I don’t understand why he hasn’t gotten the recognition he deserves. Also, a tremendously kind and thoughtful person. In every interview I have seen him in he is so grounded and sweet.
An intro like Strawberry Fields Forever, a voice like John's and a beautiful song by Julian!
Very apt Magda...thanks for the great analysis!!
what tha
Don't forget the slide guitar solo that sounds like George!
@Magda: Are you aware of how much Julian detests being compared to his father ?
@@alpbet2518 George wrote the guitar part
One of his best songs ever
I am not a fan of "children of the stars" attempting to emulate their parents but this guy nails this. It is both a throw back and ahead of its time and I think they should re-release it. Great song beautifully sung.
That's the thing about Julian- he was/is NOT trying to emulate his father.. Julian has SO many talents - not just music, although he is a VERY talented musician.. ❤ For starters- check out his photography! He's DEFINITELY got a talented eye for it.. And, never forget The White Feather Foundation!❤❤
A beautiful song.
You know that Julian actually co-wrote this song?
My favorite Julian Lennon song❤
He looks and sounds so much like his father. WOW. What a wonderful sensitive and kind man.
His father wasn’t.
Some of his material sounds like the Beatles
@@Crackfox75 trumptart😂🤣😂🖕
Julian lenon is a genius like his father, the lyric is so relevant to what happen today 😭❤️
Enchanting, soothing voice of Julian Lennon. This Dude life is extremely the opposite from his Father. He exudes calm and serene personality totally rare amongst entertainers.
Yes juilan Lennon a awesome singer and song writer did alot of great songs
Well said 👏
I think Julian deserves more fame, he is very talented!❤
Wearing masks, looking up to see if anything is going to crash. Predicted years to come when Julian wrote this. Sends chills.
@cavlei Exactly! Even looking up at two tall towers seemed almost eerily prescient to me. Above all, wonderful song.
Ikr it's almost like he predicted COVID 19 and 9/11 before the Simpsons did lol
Today this lil fella is 56 years young. Awe! Happy Birthday Julian Lennon. ✌️❤️
His father would be so proud of him and this song
Listening in 2021. Julian is so talented💙
and 2024 Jeni
Is Julian a Prophet
Happy Easter
Such a beautiful song and still so relevant nearly 30 years later....
What a voice...Come back and release some more music Julian and save us from the pitiful crap we dish out in England now....You are a world class talent mate
+Ami Artsi this is the problem. people like Simon Cowell have destroyed the music industry and I'll explain why : if I young lennon was unknown, and went to a X factor audition he wouldn't get past the first round. talent has to be given the chance to manifest naturally.
Please, don't forget the huge role the US music "scene" has played in the whole devolution of music to the pitiful crap stage.
This comment is to continue the trend of one comment per year.
amen to that
Es como revivir la juventud de su padre.Es que ha heredado el color de Jhon en su hermosa voz.
30 years later and this song still makes me cry💙
It's a really emotional song x
Great musician in his own right. Great song. Love Julian Lennon.
Intro sounds like they found the "Strawberry Fields" setting! Seriously though: Julian really IS a great artist in his own right, and by all accounts a really decent man.
I thought the same... Besides John, I also "hear a bit of" Harrison, Queen, and ELO, here...
Merseyrock Yes! Definetly Queen and that slide sounds like Harrison
George was asked by Julian to do the guitar part. George was committed to something else at the time, but he did write the guitar solo as "this is what I'd do in the song," and so you do hear Georg in it because the guitarist played what George indicated.
Jennifer Donahue Yes George was comforting Clapton because his son died at that time
Justin Tyme Productions he didnt fácil he had a couple hits and then retired.
his lovely mother Cynthia did a great job raising Julian you see Julian in interviews it seems he is level headed and very mature
Most beautiful heartfelt song lyrically..Let the spirit of the planet earth protect you..Sweet Golden Soul Julian.🌍😭XO
Yes she did
He is a man in his 50s how can he not be msture ?
Paul practically raised him as well
Yiga Lord Banette You’d be surprised.
"for the world I love is dying"
Jesus that hits on so many levels
He sounds just like his father it's hunting and beautiful at the same time God bless you Julian you're a miracle❤
he absolutely does not
@@lynnhubbard844get your ears checked
Sounds more like George on this one. Early records, he sounds like his father
@@lynnhubbard844disagree. He sounds alot like his father. Bound to .
ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED AND MOST TRUEST SONGS EVER.
2020 here, as a child in his 30s, this song defined my 1990s into who I am now.
Bless the Lennons, thank you Julian for sharing something so intimate and so true, it's in all of us.
Who would have thought that we would all be wearing masks 30 years after this song like he predicted in this video
@@jesseking3371 I'm pleased you see and appreciate this. Who knows what more Julian could've offered us which is relevant and direct?
I must research his.. photography.
Merry Christmas, & a Happy and BETTER 2022 to us ALL.❤
Absolutely agree! Listening to Julian is like listening to his father, and resembles so much like him xx
@@sarahkorver2439 Lyrics 2 this tune r just like Johns legandary "Imagine"
How come with a voice like that, he’s made little impact on the music scene. SO much better than the warbling generic stuff about today!
Seems the new audience prefers autotune and recycled copy/paste melody. Digitisation has some merits but it has taken the raw talent out of music.
Amen’. Well said. :)
A masterpiece. Julian keep going.
I know! He is beyond brilliant. 💗
@Mark Willemse
Better in his own way than John, (and I adored him).
I love this song and Julian 💗
Yes very special Julian thanks for sharing.
"What will I think of me the day that I die?" Get's me every time.
Brownalebelly - Me thinks...
The gift of life...
was given to me, so I could EXPOSE evil on Earth !
and, that will be the death of me. Evil people love killing whistle-blowers.
Brownalebelly - I am the same! I love the way the lush harmonies drop away to just one intimate voice on those words for maximum impact too. Actually I have never been able to sing along to this song without getting that lump-in-your-throat feeling. In a good way - love it! Peace ✌
Sadly when Julian Lennon dies (I am 63 so I don’t want to still be here he’s only 58) the first line will I start with “son of John Lennon” when most of us way down the page is your parent’s names. Which is likely to happen to all the Beatles children with the possible exception of Stella McCartney- they will say “Fashion Designer” . Kinda sad to be eclipsed your whole life.
Yeah I hear you ❤ very powerful emotional words, I always cry at this song now when I hear it.. zx
Beautiful song. Julian is so talented.
Julian is such a talented singer and songwriter.
Love his work I’m glad he is coming out with a new album.
He makes the world a better place to be in with the important environmental causes he is involved in.
Love Julian Lennon from Australia ❤
Julian Lennon ,
You're Dearly Loved.

What an incredible gift this young man is! His mother raised a gentleman and a scholar of our woeld!
Bought this album back in 1991 when it was released. I still have no idea why this song wasn’t a bigger hit, and why the album didn’t do better. This song and album are masterpieces!
Back then you still had to go into Sam goody or H&H Music and even his fans were not going to be seen buying his music in public
This is the first time I have heard this masterpiece written 30 years ago. Never too late to find greatness.
Release it . What a beautiful and meaningful song . A ND what a-songwriterJulian is
Releasd it !
Such a talent, lost to the World. Beautiful voice. No doubt he's his father's son, but, his name is Julian Not John. This song, way ahead of its time. C,Mon Julian, stand up & be proud. You are an amazing songwriter & singer.
It’s a shame that Julian wasn’t only shoved aside by his dad but he has to live in his dads shadow for the rest of his life. He is a talented man in his own right and shouldn’t have to be forced to fill his father’s shoes.
man, this is so true everytime y see a coment saying "he's like is dad" or something like that i feel shame for julian, cuz he dont need to be like johnlennon, he needs to be like julian lennon
@Gary Snow ye, but he is mostly called the john lennon son, not julian lennon
@Gary Snow You misunderstand. John wasn't shoved aside. It's been well documented that when John met Yoko Ono and had his other son Sean, Julian was not given nearly enough of the attention he deserved.
These comments seem to ignore the obvious fact that nearly everything in this song, recording, and performance is a direct copy of John Lennon. Julian doesn’t sound like John merely because he got half his chromosomes from John; he sounds like him because he’s studiously copying John. He’s copying John’s vocal styling; he’s copying John’s chord progressions and and accompanimental figuration; he’s copying John’s concern with broadal societal matters (compare this song to John’s more powerful “Isolation”); he’s copying John’s melodic tropes; he’s copying John’s lyrical style. So it’s a bit hypocritical to turn around and complain about being in John’s shadow.
This song is slightly ahead of Imagine for me. but both him and his Dad really got humanity.
Lyrics:
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by
Right before our eyes We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes Saltwater wells in my eyes
What a beautiful beautiful song by Julian, I am sure if john was around to hear this song there would be salt water in his eyes through proudness
The prophesy is remarkable seeing people walking by wearing face mask when you realize the video was made in 1991
This has to be on of the most underrated songs plus video ever to be recorded.
Not sure about that. John didn't really care too much about Julian.
John abondanded and ghosted him for ono and then he's only child sean.
@mark caine: John “would be so proud” ? John didn’t give any love or care to Julian when he was alive. Why the H would he care now ?
Yes I agree 💯 a awesome song John Lennon would surely be proud of juilan Lennon a awesome singer and song writer
John was a talented jerk. Nice for him he left a good talented man behind thanks to Cynthia.
I love the line "What will I think of me the day that I die?" This is really worth thinking about.... for a lifetime.
Indeed……..
A great song. On the level of his father's work.
"What will I think of me the day that I die?" Get's me every time.
His father would be so proud
Haunting and beautiful! Julian Lennon is very talented!!
Was just listening to Julian's new album Jude and was reminded of Saltwater. What a brilliant, hauntingly beautiful and honest song, now I can't stop singing it. And he did this in the early 90s, what a visionary, way ahead of his time!
I just listened to Jude for the first time today - it's a masterpiece. Julian is very underrated
There are very few people on earth that can be described as being truly "Angelic".....but Julian is one of them, a thoroughly beautiful and talent human being!
"I have lived for love, but now that's not enough, for the world I love is dying, and now I'm crying."
The music has a beautiful Beatles vibe. That with his voice so much like his dad is just a gift to any fan of John's. Thankyou Julian.
I love this song because the lyrics have meaning. ❤❤
Is anyone listening to this song today
Yep straight after hearing “now and then” i listened to this one. Secretly i wish this was the unreleased Beatles song as it is so powerful and honest about so much
This is one of the best pop songs ever written. Great job, Julian.
Julian I'm sorry that you are constantly in your fathers shadow. but I want you to know that you have cast your own light on many of us who grew up with you. I enjoy your music and "Saltwater" is my favorite. 28 years on and I still cry. we haven't learned a damn thing and our children will be cleaning it up.
Congratulations!! It is the 25th anniversary of "Saltwater" It stands the test of time in its message. Julian's altruistic spirit is threaded through the lines; lyrics that hold personal meaning to him. Since the loss of his dear mother, Cynthia Lennon, I feel he has been channeling his profound grief into his passion for Photography, as seen on his website. Definitely! to be recognized for his Own talent & efforts.
Susan Heney such an amazing song
A lesson for us all.
Julian is a wordsmith.
Absolutely amazing song. So happy that I’ve discovered him before it was too late.
This break my heart 💔 please start listening before it to late before we lose everything . Our rainforest our wildlife our earth 🌍 all ending because of us .
Wow. Never heard this before. Put this song out now and see what happens! it is brilliant.
Beutiful song. Beutiful voice. Timeless message that seems more important everyday..
Julian has walked his talk. A real McCoy , A Worthy son of mother Gaia 🙏🏼💐
I love his voice..I love his song..beautiful!♥️♥️♥️
"We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by how clever we are"
Perhaps the most devastatingly accurate lyric ever written.
Seeing this video again in 2021, chills! Especially with the face masks, it should be rereleased, the world is ready to listen now
That was so weird bout the masks in the vid n how things are today
Listening to what? I didn't wear one face nappy! And neither will I be.
Yeah that was creepy
You are bright soul Julian...please always be yourself.💖💖💖💖
I love listening to his music he's just amazing 😍🤩❤️🎧🎶🎵🙂😉😊
love this song. Julian is a great talent!
How could anyone put thumbs down on this beautiful and mean full song , about life and our beautiful planet Earth , that is the only home we know , and we all must try, to look after it .
Katie De Luise Brilliant masterpiece. I agree the people thumbing down are complete turds!
Not everyone understands great music
Not everyone agrees with you?
They won't even allow dislikes now. Totalitarian nightmare.
There could be a video on how to cure cancer and it would still get a thumbs down
My life was falling apart, literally, in '91, I never heard this! Nor did I see the video.
Hearing this now.. I am in tears. Is it possible Julian is THIS CLOSE to what we NEED TODAY!!?? Every day I wonder HOW close to the actual end we are, each of us and collectively, to the end?!? How is it possible that nobody saw and heard this when it was first out?! So many things conspired to keep me away from this song and many other things which have only been revealed to me in the past 30 years.
Shame on whomever caused Julian to stop his wonderous gift of being able to read his surroundings to such a depth. This song - which I must hear again - has the magic to open ALL OF OUR EYES & MINDS; pull us together to either put an end to the bullshit, on the tellies and in the lies in governments all over the world now, or to prepare our young to finally take the reigns with the TRUTH and GOD to lead them.
Is ANYONE ON THIS PAGE with me?
Make Christmas the very best you can and 2022 the year of great and profound resolutions.
He's also got the face of a dreamer and a poet. How did this escape me, and how many others?, along with everything else?
Tommy, no deeper love, you must know this Sweetheart. 🥺🙏
the end is not yet
Omg. Touching my heart. Nobody does it better and I have to say that this is in a music class of its ‘OWN’. When will we all wake up?
This is a beautiful song......Why do people have to say cruel things about "anyone's" music? So what you don't care for it, if so go find some other music you like. Does no one think the artists never scroll through their comments and see these rude remarks? I would be very hurt! Everyone does their best at what they love. Also Julian is NOT John, yes he does songs in the style of his father. It's not because he CAN'T do anything else, it's because he chooses to. He looks up to his father's work and his talent comes from him. He is a wonderful artist in his own right. People are so cruel. Don't listen to the moronic people in the world Julian, you are wonderful and bring happiness to many people! Much love to you!!!!
I agree with you. He inherited his Father's looks, voice and talent. What he does with them is his own.
Cruel, huh?! Hardly as cruel as the losers of today-thanks to the internet and nonstop celeb culture that allow these piss-poor excuses for "pop stars" and human beings the shove their hateful crap down all our throats, eyes and ears-in ever mag, ad, poster, billboard, screen and so on, they're all the same and you can't escape them-nothing like it was in the 80s. I don't think any of those arrogant twats would deign to soak up anything but a mountain of artificial praise for their dubious abilities. You are way too sensitive. You a publicist for one of them by any chance.
I can't really see them all chucking themselves of the roofs of their 50 room mansions in mass formation. Which do you think they'd chose? The Primrose Hill one, Hollywood Hills one, San Fernando Valley one, French Riviera one? So many to pick, hey, they might even have a heart attack doing it. Yeah, cos they're REALLY going to break down with all their bodyguard louts and insulating millions when they see that several people are brave enough to call out their crap for being just that. Oh, no, Adele, someone might like every howling, shrieking, boring, pointless banal word you kill? Don't eat yourself. Oh no, Pariah Carey, we know you're a skank with as much musical talent as the Splice Girls you vile Bev Hills Barbie-and now you're going to die in a routine liposuction to make your surgically stuck ego-grin even larger than it already is. Oh no, Oasis and Timberlake, don't chuck yourself under a lorry. I didn't give your bullshit records and crimes to music the usual glowing suck-up tat the rest of the world does. Oh woe is me, I've killed all the bullshit pop stars. Yayyyyyyy!
The world is full of talent and people that can sing and make decent records once more and not exiiting merely to piss us off and amass untold undeserved wealth for no other reason than to lord it over everybody.
Yeah right...word to the wise. RUclips doesn't exist to any loser with tonnes of money unless it has silly kittens or babies bouncing about in a video, or they've already used to earn their fake place among the supreme and sad. That's what twitter is for these days and try getting the bastard of that, when they're not floating their grotesque forms and houses on Instagram and reminding us all why they're so hateful in the first place.
The 80s was never like this (though we had the vile Madonna of course-the prelude to today's love-me shit). That's the evil of the internet for sure.
Krystal Mansour Your quite correct in that its a beautiful song stating how amazing we are in all our achievements, then how short sighted we are at the same time. The shame is its preaching to the converted, if you care you always have and will, if not your the Short sighted ones destroying the world with no time to listen to the song or anyone else.
Spot on. Good to finally see somebody on the internet who's not a fucking sheep and thinks for themselves for once, unlike every other sheep on the internet who believes everything and questions nothing. They are part of the problem. I go the opposite way, I believe nothing and I question everything.
Julian's tribute.
Wow, I haven't heard this song in a long time. Still a beautiful song!
I so remember this song. My first child (a son) was born in Scotland in October 1991 and this was in the charts, and I remember thinking back then how much I wanted his world to be a cleaner, safer, and better place for him to grow up in. He's now 31 (32 in a few months), and we're in far worst shape than we have ever been. I now live in America and climate change (like most things) has been politicized. We are so damned. Time to re-release this record, dear Julian. You always were ahead of your time. xo
A voice full of emotion
As I look back at 2020, saltwater wells in my eyes.
Julian, I love you, your music, you're a carbon copy of your Dad. Your tunes hit my heart Brother.
Brilliant song - the Apple does not fall far from the tree. John would be proud of Julian and this great song.
BEAUTIFUL SONG
A beautiful and relevant song,
Beautiful song
Keep driving everyone,keep it ipup,keep building.
I weep for the future
Yes, the obvious reaction will be " He is so much like his father". And ofcourse, he looks a bit like his father (not that strange ofcourse), his voice and way of singing sounds like John, and then also the music has great influences of his fathers work.
But, I think we should not forget this is Julian, and this is HIS work, and it seems like people do overlook that fact. He deserves more appriciation for that fact and his talent, instead of only the comparison to his dad. Julian is a brilliant songwriter himself !
Jesus, his high notes are John. He's his fathers son.
Gosh, he's beautiful.
Super, cudowne że syn kontynuuje muzykę, po takim mistrzu jaki był John, to taki miód na serce ♥ 👍👌
You are the best Julian Lennon ❤❤ yesterday, today and forever ... The One.
Beautiful song with such a great message. Happy birthday, Julian :)
Diane O how about some more music julian
Julian, I had always loved this song when i was young, but back then i didn't know any English. So many years had passed and now watching this video while the pandemic keeps going, hearing your voice, "understanding" the message of this song makes me feel goose bumps, not only because evoke a sweet memory but also for the way how you expressed a sad reality of humanity today. Your song really touched my heart, and made saltwater well in my eyes 😢
Julian was ahead of his time. We need his music now, more than ever! (2023) God bless this brilliant musician & God bless all.
How long ago was that written........it was way ahead of its time and speaks the truth we know now. We have a beautiful, amazing planet and as far as we know we are alone and yet some still haven't learned to appreciate what we have and protect it.
Lovely song. Should release more of these gems Julian.
This is February 2018 and I just heard this song for the first time in my life I'm so in love with Julian Lennon thank God we have him
I loved this song when it was released in 1991, got a lot of play on MTV, a very creative period for Julian Lennon.
VH1 also
The Children aged 7 and 8 at my Sons school recently sang this to the parents, pretty much had everyone in tears, such a well written song.

I could listen to this remarkable song again and again. So beautiful.
