Yes, and clever of you to include a Ringo album title along with John's line from Beautiful Boy. I think that line is one of the best I have ever heard in anyone's song....the other is from Abbey Road "the Love you take is equal to the love you make."
My wife was 3 months pregnant when Lennon died. She had appendicitis and was in hospital when I was driving to visit her and I heard about his death on the radio. Fortunately both my wife and the child survived. The doctors asked us if we wanted to know the sex of the baby, but we both said no, we’d prefer for it to be a surprise. Six months later my wife went into labour at a small hospital in Wellington, Shropshire. Complications developed and she had to be transferred in an ambulance to Shrewsbury. I followed in our car, the blue lights went on followed shortly by the siren. I decided to follow the ambulance but realised I was being stupid and could have an accident, so I pulled into the traffic, calmed down and turned the radio on. This song was playing, I knew then the baby would be a boy. My son grew up to be a musician…….
@Brian Hirst The song brought tears to my eyes (always does) & so did your story. Thank you for sharing. Much love to you & your family from Kentucky U.S. 💙☮💙
Very sad….his son was 4 and he was 40 when this song came out. Unfortunately, just at the same time he was shot to death. When he says” I can hardly to see you come of age, but I guess we’ll just have to be patient” just resonates so hard to me.
@@Ryan-lf1ko Why do you care? The comments section is free and it is not as if the person made the correction rudely or to make fun of whoever commented on a wrong fact. And it's not like the person is correcting you, so why take it personally?
@@Threeleebird corrected him by a year though ? It’s like ye we got the point. His son was very young when he died regardless of your need to correct someone. Anyway have a nice day. ✌️
This was about his younger son, Sean. He was around five years old when his father was murdered. He had just finished his comeback album, Double Fantasy.
@@balderdashpoppycockwellmay9498 It does me too, I LOVE Julian, I was 16 years old when Julian was born on April 8, 1963, he was the very first "Beatle baby" and we fans watched him grow up to be a fantastic and talented man. He was only 17 when his dad was murdered. They were finally getting close again, and John was trying to make up for not being there much for Julian when he was a baby and a young boy, because of the Beatles touring and hectic schedules.
This song was used in Mr Holland's Opus - and makes me cry more than the original song. Try John's "Watching the Wheels" that is my favorite of his solo stuff.
He wrote it when his son Sean was born… This song was used by every parent who had a son after it was released.. I learned it and used to sing it to my son every night.while he was going to sleep. A beautiful song.. now my son is 12 and this song brings tears to my eyes remembering that little baby he was.
I'll always associate this song with John's death; the album came out just about the time he was murdered. It was written for his young son, Sean, that he had with Yoko (hence the Japanese sound to it), who was still quite young at the time, so it was filled with his hopefulness in watching his son grow up...which, of course, he never got to do. Yoko even did a song after John's death that made me buy one of her albums; check out her "Goodbye, Sadness" which is uncharacteristically good for Yoko!
I don't know if you were around at the time John was murdered, but for those of us who remember that horrible night, and all the years since his family and friends and all his fans were robbed of John's presence in the world, will always associate Double Fantasy with his death. SO horrible that it happened when he was FINALLY TRULY HAPPY, and was even going to start touring again and making more music. It was all so WRONG, TRAGIC and UNFAIR
John Lennon has two children: Julian, born in 1963, a son he had with his first wife, Cynthia. And Sean, born in 1975, son he had with Yoko and for whom John wrote this song.
@@jamesfoster2238 so? John didn't even write that song, Paul wrote and composed Hey Jude. John even said that he thought the song was for him and Yoko. It never occurred to him that the song was for his son, even though the first title the song received was "Hey Jules."
This song always hits me hard. Considering he was murdered after it was released and never got to see his son Sean come of age. He loved Yoko a Sean and to be murdered the way he was infront of her is still unbelievable to me, I still remember that night. A beautiful song.
My sister sang this song at my nephews funeral. He was only 18 and such a beautiful boy. He committed suicide. This song just wrecks me now. My brother ( the beautiful boy’s father) talks about this song all the time now. Music is so powerful
Is reasonable that tears roll down from people's faces considering that even Paul Mc Cartney cried when he heard it in a interview recalling his late friend John. I get emocional everytime i listen to it thinking about my own sons.
Don't over analise this..it's a wonderful, emotional song about John and his son Sean as a wee boy. I have two grown sons and this makes me teary every time.
Written for his son Sean who i got to meet and get very drunk with when a friend of mine played bass for his band in Central Park when they opened for The Strokes, and he was dating Mick Jaggers daughter then so after the show we all went to Greenwich Village along with the members of the Strokes and got really pissed drunk! Sean was such a sweet kid and really a nice down to earth guy! It later hit me that I got drunk with royalty because one was the son of a Beatles and the other the daughter of a Rolling Stones!
I still remember where I was and what I was doing when they announced John Lennon's death on the radio. One of my best friend's who was roughly 10 years older, taught me about music and artists from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. He loved John Lennon and actually looked just like him. Same haircut, glasses and could imitate him to perfection. Sadly my friend Kevin passed away a year later from exposure to agent orange in the Vietnam war. Sorry to go off-topic.
John has a few sons. His son with Yoko, Sean Lennon, is in a great band with Les Claypool of Primus, called The Claypool Lennon Delirium. Check out their song "Satori", it's one of their shorter songs. If you like Beatles, John Lennon, Primus, Post-Rock, you'll like them.
You say John had a few sons (well only a couple) , but you never told everyone his other son's name who also was a recording artist in the early '80s. JULIAN Lennon, his mother was Cynthia Powell Lennon, John's first wife. Julian was born on April 8, 1963 and will be 59 years old 15 days from today (March 23, 2022) There are LOTS of videos of Julian's music here on you tube , plus lots of interviews with Julian as well. He is a fantastic singer, song writer, humanitarian, artist and photographer. John would be VERY PROUD of his first son. Try looking for some of his songs that were big hits, "VALOTTE," "TOO LATE FOR GOODBYES," from his early career in the '80s (saw him live in concert 4 times and he put on a FANTASTIC show.) He is supposedly working on some new music. Is "latest" song from a few years ago is BEAUTIFUL and there are several different performances of it here on You Tube, it's called "SALTWATER"
This song was on his last album released just before he was murdered. Which makes the line life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans. Prophetic
You guys finally get john lennon. Many of his songs are honest wearing his real lifvon his sleeve and sings about things we wish we could all express. Yes is a wonderful song. There are many of his that are honest.
@@prprod I don’t think it’s resentment. He wasn’t close to his dad. He and his mother moved to Italy. She recently (within the past few years) passed away. I’m hoping Julian will make his own mark in music. He’s been writing some and producing some, but nothing extraordinary yet.
Brad was definitely feeling this song. This song hits hard as I hear it as if the song was singing to me as a son. It also makes me think about life situations such as relationships and my future. Relaxing song for sure but when you listen to the lyrics that’s when it hits you but hey that can be any song
OMG this song!!!!! I used to sing this to my son every night at bed time. Still makes me cry to this day. I often wondered if Julian resents/resented this song, Dad never wrote one for him. I'd suggest Watching the Wheels or Instant Karma next. Watching the Wheels: ruclips.net/video/pLgJ7pk0X-s/видео.html A song about how no one can understand him giving up music to stay home and play Dad. Instant Karma: ruclips.net/video/xLy2SaSQAtA/видео.html Peace
During a TV interview with John's former writing partner, and Beatles member, Paul McCartney after John's death, they played this song to see what Paul thought of it. Paul completely broke down crying right there on TV.
John was working on some music the night he was killed. He wanted to stay later and finish up but wanted to get home in time to tuck Sean into bed. It was when he was walking into his apartment building to go tuck Sean in when he was shot.
True, originally they were going to go and get something to eat when they left the studio, but John wanted to see Sean first. I can't help but wonder IF they had gone to get a meal first, maybe John would still be here., maybe you know who would have given up and left. But he may have STILL hung around and did what he did....we will never know.
A beautiful song by a beautiful and talented artist. Real, emotional and heart-warming. A life cut down way too soon! Read the book- John. His 1st wife Cynthia wrote it. An amazing life!
This was on Double Fantasy, release right before John was killed, for his second son Sean. It's just a genuine, simple, loving song. Lennon was always a troubled guy and the 70s were especially hard on him. He and Yoko were finally at peace and happy, and he seemed content for the first time in his public life when Double Fantasy came out. The songs on there with Yoko are garbage but his songs are brilliant. Watching the Wheelsz Stsrting Over, Losing you, and Woman are all highly recommended. Losing you was actually written years earlier when he was struggling and is an angry somg, but fits somehow. Maybe because it's about times we know were passed.
I wi never ever forget where I was and what I was doing the day I heard John had died. It was simply not possible, like the sun had fallen from the sky.
"Life is what happens to us while we are busy making other plans", such a great line, but not originally penned by John. Allen Saunders is the one who first wrote this, if my research is correct.
Yes this came out I was in Missouri I’m from California was in Missouri working in this album came out that was his son he was talking about Sean So now his son is still around and he’s doing interviews of Paul McCartney who is John Lennon‘s friend and a friend beatle and Sean is now interviewing Paul McCartney To find out their history and Sean admires the Beatles in a different perspective It’s a very beautiful thing it’s a very sad thing that Sean’s dad John Lennon was shot to death right in front of the Dakota Yoko is an important player in all of this John Lennon could choose any woman in the entire earth to spend his life with but he chose Yoko Ono
As I recall, Earl Slick played on John's "Double Fantasy" album. So how about "Men Without Shame" by Phantom, Rocker, and Slick? (Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker were in the Stray Cats, and B&L have already reacted to "Rock This Town").
It gave me goose bumps when I first heard it around the time he was killed. I was only a teenager at the time but I loved the song. Then when my son was born I would sing it to him at bedtime. hearing it again still gives me goose bumps as well as watery eyes.. 🙄 Need to go and do some man stuff like chopping wood or something😆
I mean, I guess it makes sense it has a Far East vibe to it since it's a lullaby for his half-Asian son -- whom by the way is half of a very intriguing duo act with Primus bassist Les Claypool.
His Wife was Japanese, and alcoholism almost cost him his marriage in the 70's before he cleaned it up so she'd take him back. He wrote, "Woman" as a love letter to her. He never had the commercial success of his former Beatles bandmate, Paul McCartney, but when he released something, it was a big deal. "Watching the Wheels" is another excellent one.
I like to think he wasn’t trying to leave Julian out. I don’t recall John writing a song for Julian but “Hey Jude” was such a hit in Julian’s honor, I like to believe John tried to do the same for Sean because of it.
Hey Jude was the song that Paul wrote individually and he dedicated it to Julian, because when John left his first family, Julian was only 4 years old and Paul went to visit them because he cared about them and he knew that they would both be devastated and Julian would see much less of his father and would have to go through a lot. John didn't know that about the song, he thought it was for him and Yoko, Paul told him it wasn't like that and it never was.
John Lennon had two sons. Sean Lennon is his son with Yoko and who this song is for. Julian Lennon is a bit older, the son of John and his first wife Cynthia.

Great idea! My favorites are Amethyst Realm, Blood and Rockets, and Mr. Wright

Fuck, I can't stop the tears when I hear this song. Just flattens me.
I played and sang this song to my son when he was born. It was for me and my son and John and his.
I can't listen to this without tearing up.
My sister sang this song at my nephews funeral. He was only 18 and such a beautiful boy. He committed suicide. This song just wrecks me now. My brother ( the beautiful boy’s father) talks about this song all the time now. Music is so powerful
oh my, that is so tragic, I am so sorry, please accept my sympathies.
"Life is what happens to you while yer busy making other plans" is one of the most famous lyrics in music history!
This song always makes me tear up for the same reason. It's just not fair.
Is reasonable that tears roll down from people's faces considering that even Paul Mc Cartney cried when he heard it in a interview recalling his late friend John. I get emocional everytime i listen to it thinking about my own sons.
Both of John's sons are worth checking out! Julian and Sean are both very talented.
John was a great musician! If you can check out
“Nobody told me” by him! Pure gold.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...beautiful Cole
If you know, you know
Another gem from John's final album Double Fantasy.
Don't over analise this..it's a wonderful, emotional song about John and his son Sean as a wee boy. I have two grown sons and this makes me teary every time.

"Jealous Guy"....great song. John was an amazing artist.

This song isn’t about Julian 🤷🏻♂️✌️

@@prprod I don't know if he did but the brothers are quite close, judging from their instagrams, even though they live on different continents.
@@themstem69 I know.

"Life is what happens to you while you´re busy making other plans". That´s true wisdom......
Interesting how the song has this "east meets west" vibe, since his son is half western and half Asian.

The sneeze earned a 👍.
Sean and John were born on the same day.
Best moment: Lex sneezing haha. Didn't expect that.
Wonderful song about his little son. ❤
The song is about his son Sean. Who was 5 years old when this song was released. Those sounds are steel drums. From the island of Jamaica...
Try grow old with me, it's Lennon at his best, raw, vulnerable and pouring his heart out
I love how two of the words in this song have an echo, and if you listen carefully, the syllable that echoes is "Sean." Ocean- sean- sean...
Yes yes yeah yep! Bless you. My favorite Lennon song/after Beatles. They spent time in Bermuda right before beginning this album, island vibes?
A beautiful song by a beautiful and talented artist. Real, emotional and heart-warming. A life cut down way too soon! Read the book- John. His 1st wife Cynthia wrote it. An amazing life!
check out "Instant Karma" and "#9 Dream" - great review!!
This was on Double Fantasy, release right before John was killed, for his second son Sean. It's just a genuine, simple, loving song.
Lennon was always a troubled guy and the 70s were especially hard on him. He and Yoko were finally at peace and happy, and he seemed content for the first time in his public life when Double Fantasy came out. The songs on there with Yoko are garbage but his songs are brilliant. Watching the Wheelsz Stsrting Over, Losing you, and Woman are all highly recommended. Losing you was actually written years earlier when he was struggling and is an angry somg, but fits somehow. Maybe because it's about times we know were passed.
Good summary of John in the 70’s.
I wi never ever forget where I was and what I was doing the day I heard John had died. It was simply not possible, like the sun had fallen from the sky.
"Life is what happens to us while we are busy making other plans", such a great line, but not originally penned by John. Allen Saunders is the one who first wrote this, if my research is correct.
this son is written and sang for his son Sean, John also has an older son from a previous marriage named Julian
This album was released 2 months before he was shot and killed. It was also his biorthday when it was released.
Gotta do Jealous Guy, Watching the Wheels, Mind Games and Instant Karma. Yep, all of them.
Yes. This one. Take literally.
Yes this came out I was in Missouri I’m from California was in Missouri working in this album came out that was his son he was talking about Sean
So now his son is still around and he’s doing interviews of Paul McCartney who is John Lennon‘s friend and a friend beatle and Sean is now interviewing Paul McCartney
To find out their history and Sean admires the Beatles in a different perspective
It’s a very beautiful thing it’s a very sad thing that Sean’s dad John Lennon was shot to death right in front of the Dakota
Yoko is an important player in all of this
John Lennon could choose any woman in the entire earth to spend his life with
but he chose Yoko Ono
As I recall, Earl Slick played on John's "Double Fantasy" album. So how about "Men Without Shame" by Phantom, Rocker, and Slick? (Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker were in the Stray Cats, and B&L have already reacted to "Rock This Town").
I love instant karma or god , jealous guy is magic too . Yes its about his son ( second son for John, sean Lennon
Its steel drums Lex, caribbean vibes! And get at you two, make some sons, haha!
Simple but sweet
It gave me goose bumps when I first heard it around the time he was killed. I was only a teenager at the time but I loved the song. Then when my son was born I would sing it to him at bedtime. hearing it again still gives me goose bumps as well as watery eyes.. 🙄
Need to go and do some man stuff like chopping wood or something😆
The beautiful boy is now older than his father when he was murdered.
One of the greatest arrest ever so loved 😥👍👍👍👍

I mean, I guess it makes sense it has a Far East vibe to it since it's a lullaby for his half-Asian son -- whom by the way is half of a very intriguing duo act with Primus bassist Les Claypool.
His Wife was Japanese, and alcoholism almost cost him his marriage in the 70's before he cleaned it up so she'd take him back. He wrote, "Woman" as a love letter to her. He never had the commercial success of his former Beatles bandmate, Paul McCartney, but when he released something, it was a big deal. "Watching the Wheels" is another excellent one.
A couple of John Lennon songs you'd like a lot would be Nobody Told Me and Instant Karma
My heart ❤️
Sang this to my son when he was little.
You guys definitely have to react to “Mother” next
You oughta check out his son Julian's music. Take your pick, it's all great!
The sound that you hear in the back ground is a metal drum.
I like to think he wasn’t trying to leave Julian out. I don’t recall John writing a song for Julian but “Hey Jude” was such a hit in Julian’s honor, I like to believe John tried to do the same for Sean because of it.
Hey Jude was the song that Paul wrote individually and he dedicated it to Julian, because when John left his first family, Julian was only 4 years old and Paul went to visit them because he cared about them and he knew that they would both be devastated and Julian would see much less of his father and would have to go through a lot.
John didn't know that about the song, he thought it was for him and Yoko, Paul told him it wasn't like that and it never was.
He wrote “Good Night” for Julian. It’s on the White Album.
So unfortunate. This song was released on his double fantasy album in 1980. Not even a full month before he was shot and killed.
John Lennon had two sons. Sean Lennon is his son with Yoko and who this song is for. Julian Lennon is a bit older, the son of John and his first wife Cynthia.
OK, you have my support.
Sean lennon is John and Yokos son Sean has few albums of his own worth checking out as well.
Sean Lennon Johns son is half Japanese that's why there's an Eastern feel
I think you would also enjoy his song "Mother" -- but, it is a sadder song
The far east sound is due to Yoko Ono's Japanese heritage and influence. The entire album is a homage to their relationship.
The son is Sean Lennon. You should check out one of his songs. Parachute is pretty good.
I hope you do "Mother" by the same artist.
