This song breaks my heart, I've read a lot of books on John Lennon and his mother and father did love him, they just didn't have their sh*t together. John, you were loved by millions, including your parents. See you in Heaven!
This song is so sad,his mother did not become part of his life until later and then was killed,but the part about his dad is just the way he treated julian,who he gave little and Cynthia had to run a B&B to feed themselves,julian could not visit john until yoko said OK,john musically with Paul were the all time best,but as a person lennon was pussywhjpped who let yoko direct everything he did,even followed him to the WC,yoko became johns mother,he was heartless when it came to julian,thats sad

fuck john lennon. give employment a chance.
i'm all for peace, but you're not helping anybody by wishing for a utopian society. You can sit and wish for the best, or you can get out and do what you can. I choose the second option.
@MATTisAkoala I think you don't know about all the activisms he did. I suggest you to watch the movie "The US vs John Lennon" and see how much of a threat he was to the government because of all those activisms he made against the government.
@Lengsel7 john in his own words said in those early days he was not a very good father nor a truly good man he worked on himself and found himself, thats why he stopped working in late 70's to raise sean, yoko was good for the man, all haters please just go away.
Chill. Justin Beaver has nothing to do with this. John likes peace, not controversy. This song is about John Lennon's experience with his mother and father. It's not about Justin. John lives on in every one of us who knows that fighting, quarry, and controversy are all stupid. The man would give Chapman a 10 dollar bill if he came up to him 5 years after the shooting and said who he was, if he survived. Not only that, he'd probably bring him inside, give him a beer, and they'd catch up.
@DeedeeT3000 My 'rents are also gone...I really DO feel your loss! In the meantime, knowing a bit about John's life, this is such a tragic song. Many of us had it much better.

@nocatjane i couldnt agree more about not likeing beiber, but do you honestly want the man who killed such an amazing musician to be walking around free??
@CrysisGamer23 Go fuck yourself, if you really want to get rid of Justin Bieber(even though he's completely irrelevant) Fucking pick up a guitar, start a band make good music and fucking hope for the best.
Let us all remember how John LIVED and try to forget how horribly he died. I think that is how John would have wanted it. If everyone lived life and contributed to the world like John did, IMAGINE what this place would be like? LONG LIVE JOHN LENNON. THE WORLD IS A LITTLE BETTER OF A PLACE THANKS TO YOU, JOHN.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this song was a result of his undergoing primal scream therapy with yoko in like 1970. The purpose of which was to unlock your subconsious and face your problems, to literaly scream the pain away. This is apparently what he found.
@GNRslashrules13 that is pretty right expect that he couldnt continue the primal scream therapy (forget why again) and he wrote this song because he thought this was the best way to help himself with the problems he found out he had in primal scream therapy
It's like a prayer I think to give him peace at the pain he felt by the fact that he missed the presence of his mom and dad when he was growing up...he was raised by his aunt...Very moving...the Beatles are Great...and this song is too !
I definitely prefer John's music much more when he was with the Beatles. This music is way too personal from Lennon. I wish he would stick with the formula he had with the Beatles.
I disagree. I think that John thought of the beatles as a starting point. If u listen to some of his songs backwards he says how he wished he wasnt a beatle. and the emotional part is what makes it interesting. r.i.p. John
I think you underate the effects of Yoko. She is very manipulative. She wanted John to stay with her and not hang with the Beatles at all. John was vulnerable to be bossed around after his 1000 acid trips that took away his ego. I'm not sure what was best for him. Supposedly he was most happy the 2 years he was without Yoko called the lost weekend.
It's odd. We always look for those who we are family with when in times of need - even if they aren't the right people, or even if they normally think lowly of us. We can always trust them to listen. Deep down, they'll stick their necks out for us if we ask them to. And beneath all the routines, the impressions, and our growing experiences, the emotion is always there. Always, in some manner.
I love my mom and dad. I am so lucky they love me as much as they do in turn.
