  • I'm so glad Julian's a softer gentler soul. This World needs more Julian Lennon's. Besides, his father's spirit is doing a lot of good in the hearts of all John Lennon lovers.

  • His voice is like ascorbic acid.

    :)

  • Bad mixing and montage,john is john

  • julian :) son Cynthia love

  • This is an absolutely crappy job of mixing! You can even see that John's mouth does not sinc with the words. If it had been done properly it would have been beautiful, though.

  • Father and son. And the woman that they both loved Cynthia.

  • Nice double tribute.

  • omg i love julian :))

  • Julian was a weirdo!?! What do you mean CrispyRingo?

  • What year did Julian record his version?

  • Comment removed

  • Julian was deffs a werido. One of the many reasons he is my favourite Beatles offspring. Worth staying up to all hours listening to. Same goes for John :P

  • I can't hear what John says about "Stand by me" words at 1:09. Can anyone write them down?

  • @justsmilehomie 'All the words of Stand by me, Be bup a Lula...I knew them all from being 15. They all just came back like that, totally simple'.

  • @JohnMacLennon Thanks.

  • @justsmilehomie No problem

  • @JohnMacLennon I think its, "I knew them all from 1950" Maybe I'm wrong.

  • @Vincebandicot521 I listened to it again, but I still hear 'from being 15'. (it doesn't really matter though)

  • what a shit

  • anythign wiht john is good , to bad u didnt use more cgi to have them singing same time that wouldve been cool . but good job

  • this does no justice to John or Julian  this is awful they are/were both great singers

  • 58 people need to get the corn cob out of there arse!

  • this songs is very nice

  • I stand corrected.....

  • @QueenBeatlesWings Stand by Me is NOT a John Lennon song. I think it's a BB King song. Even Muhammad Ali did a recording of this song.....

  • @derekdextremist1  Ben E King

  • Stand by Me is the only John Lennon song Julian sings because it was the only time John ever though about his family or mentioned them (he says 'hello Julian" when hes sang it on tv) the res of the time John ignored Julian and Cynthia , toured the world as a Beatle and never thought about his responsibilities back home as a father

  • @QueenBeatlesWings , mmmm I guess you were with john in 62' huh? NO you base your stupid opinion on what you read or hear, next time your write something make sure you know what the hell your talking about..

  • R.I.P John We Miss You

  • what is the name of the song in the beginning of the video?

  • I kindof forgot that Hey Jude was written for Jullian. Thats kindof cool to have a famous beatles song about you and at the same time also be a singer

  • @utahzombiesurvival

    Paul was on his way to visit Cynthia and Julian to comfort them after the divorce (which was a fucking ballsy action considering johns assholeness towards his family) and on the way to them he wrote this song, the lyrcis just came to him, at first it was called hey Jules.

  • the dream is never over, i'm an example, missed john lennon's life by 15 years, yet he is my idol, i always look up to him, he's the reason i kept sane, him and Pink Floyd, everyone has their own issues to work out, but i believe John will continue to inspire musicians like me for years, the dream isn't over until the very last John Lennon fan dies, at that point, if it ever comes, the world might as well be dead

  • I got to disagree with you at 0:53. The dream is never over. Yes we lost George and John, but the dream will never be over. As long as people play The Beatles and John's songs, the dream will never be over.

  • Awesome!!!! way better than that prince royce bullshit!!!!!

  • Julian is pretty badass!

  • love the face @ 1:26

  • @AquaGirl11354 i dont actually care why you left a mean comment, i was just messing with you

    the beatles are a good band, but dont get so mad when people say they dont like them, everyone is entitled to there opinion

  • @halpinghand123 That would be "their" opinion. "There" means like "sit over there". Maybe that's why you don't get the Beatles. Maybe you're just dumb.

  • @AquaGirl11354 you must not receive that much love if you are going to make such a mean comment.

  • @AquaGirl11354 nope

    there is no meaning, you over analyze the beatles and have no life. it just is a lyric that sounds nice

  • @AquaGirl11354 why dont you just explain your self

    is it to say please and thank you?

  • @AquaGirl11354 maybe it means nothing and just a song lyric that fit the music

  • yes. the phrase is awesome but so forgotten.

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • ...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

    just always make tears to my eyes

  • I love at 0:14 where Lennon looks Amish

  • i think julian and sean should do a tribute to there dad together they both have amazing voices and they both sound like the dad in different ways i think if they did it would be a massive sell out

  • @TheShells44 I don't think they ever will, because not everything's about "selling-out" or money. But yes, it would sell out.

  • i dont like the way that he plays the song

  • LINDO RECUERDO, PERO LA VOZ DE JOHN ERA LA VOZ DE JOHN

  • Joooooohhhhhnnnnnnnn

  • this is gonna make me cry. i will miss john and gorge very much but most of all, i miss the good friendship between the boys *sniffles*

  • The dream lives on in all their children and a million white feathers

  • I love this guy Julian! Wow!

  • niether of johns sons have his voise or his personality they are their own personal selves and always will be they are not their father thats why i get so angry when people compare john with sean and julian they are themselves if you want to flipping see john then look at a few beatles videos or whatever but this is julian so shut up about his father and enjoy him dont get me wrong im a huge beatles fan and i love john lennon but this is julians generation his time to shine

  • @megen1996 well said

  • @megen1996 right on

  • 1:00 every one is so furry exept paul hes always different from the others

  • @megen1996 they all have beards except paul haha!

  • 1:39 looks exactly like my godfathers wife....:(

  • hes the man who gave me a name. i was born shortly after his death, mom wanted to name me james, dad insisted of john lennon, mom gave me john but not the middle name lennon.

  • Comment removed

  • Could You Imagine a Duet between John & Julian doing " Stand by Me " How Awesome that would have been.

  • life is a long song. John was amazing, Julian got sacrificed and Yoko is the anti Christ... I guess no one is perfect... Hang in Julian...

  • I can still remember the time and place of this song. But, to Julian...I remember hearing his first recording and crying my eyes out because he sounded just like his dad. Yes, I agree, John did him wrong, but God saw his way to give Julian John's talents...I wish he would use them...

  • @dialysisrn  john acted like he didnt care .ambarassing

  • I still think that Julian is a very, very talented man in his own right. I think its a shame that John treated him the way he did. They could have made great music together. I wish that Julian would get back into recording, and touring. I think he would be a smashing sucess.

  • Watching John in this video, you can tell he was the real deal, just look at the confidence he had in himself.

  • The Beatles will always b remembered!!!!!

  • I always loved John, but I have gone off him now after seeing what a mean father he was to poor Julian. Hey Julian, tread your own path.I dont think your Dad gave peace a chance with you, he talked the talk but didnt walk the walk. Never fear you will be a stronger man because of it.

  • the one who made this vid intentionally speeds up a little bit the sound when john sings. i bet you that. i have the imagine dvd, and john doesn't sound like that. you are mean...

  • they spead up john's stand by me so much.

  • whats with goerge harrison on the end?

  • John Lennon had incrediable tallent, but I like Jullian's voice better. Jullian seems to have more depth or a richer tone to his voice. I would love to see Jullian in concert.

  • @joyr36 I completely agree! :)

  • Amazing how they sound so similiar. Identical really.

  • shitty mix. sorry.

  • NO THE DREAM ISNT OVER! we have 2 keep on dreaming it,thats what john and george what have wanted

  • Julian seems to have something wrong with him the way hes staggering around half bent over.

  • dang were's a time machine when you need one!

  • @ilikelimes18 Julian is a lovely man with a very pleasant voice..that DOES kick ass sometimes! A very talented artist!

  • ...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

    Such a simple phrase, but do people REALLY understand what it means?

  • @Jinchengfan It so simple, most people can't get it. They think it's supposed to be complicated.. but that is why The Beatles are so special, they could distill it down to a phrase as simple and perfect as that.

  • @Jinchengfan does it mean anything

  • @Jinchengfan I think it's presumptious to assume they meant anything by it, or that it really means anything even if they thought it did... it was the 60s. And Abbey Road was so funny anyway, for all we know it was just the last joke on the album. The Beatles had a lot of intelligent lyrics, but people have got to quit treating their lyrics as scripture.

  • @Jinchengfan , to give love, first you have to get love?

  • @Jinchengfan ...i'm not sure you do, pal. i'm pretty sure it just sounded good, so that's what they said. and if there is some level of enightenment regaurding that phrase that i haven't reached, would you please give me you're best effort in trying to explain it?

  • @zaneman35 Its pretty simple actually, the more you love others the more love you will receive from others. So you don't have to be a dick about it.

  • @zaneman35 the beatles didnt just say something because it sounded good, they had meaning behind it. its called talent and creativity. something you obviously know nothing about.

  • @douchecock427 Yes they do. Everybody does. John Lennon made several statements to that effect. I don't blame them! It's just a sort of formula that all good musicians figure out. For instance; did John Lennon mean anything when he wrote 'I Am the Walrus'? I'll save you the trouble of typing and answer for you. The answer is no.

  • @zaneman35 because you know nothing about music. the beatles were musical geniuses, and that ur so ignorant as to think they didnt mean anything when they created music is total bullshit. maybe you should just stick with rap. because that shit has no meaning.

  • @Jinchengfan Bitch screw u

  • no mames que demonios hiciste? te pasas de lanza

  • @007bond189

    whats wrong with you

  • if you cant tell that's a joke thats sad

  • what!?

  • as in O RLY thats george harrison? You Dont Say....

  • Jesus...If he could only put the 2 songs one after another it would sound better...

  • terrible editing. terrible. john was great. of course. the editing is ridiculous.

  • I just never thought John did a very good version of this lame song

  • everyone ALWAYS wished the Beatles got back together....miss them....at least we have Julian who sounds like John...

  • The beatles were more than seeing and hearing, also feeling, was a way of life. John `angry young man`, caustic agressive beatle, giving edge t beatles, past experiences parents, stu. Think grew in stature as person through brian, others, yoko, he,d neglected julian,but honest and brave, recall tv talked of press abuse for yoko, why they would call her ugly, his shock and loss of brian. His part ending hell of vietnam war Liked his humour also. George fave l related to, but admired John.

  • English do you speak it?

  • It's weird, it seems that the Beatles were not only just a band, but a way of life. For some people it's so weird that they are gone. the first scene with George is well upsetting.

  • in the beginning John and George kinda look amish :] (sorry i spelled it wrong)

  • George could have been the FOURTH musketeer.

  • @stratman123 I think Ringo would have been the "FOURTH musketeer" as he was the last to join the band.

  • I was replying to the people that said George looked like Jesus AND he looked Amish. He looks more like a Musketeer at the beginning.

  • Hahaha that does work out then XD

  • oh! how we all wanted them to get back together and for time to stand still!!! with all that was going on in the country...it still was a much better time!!! somehow...THE BEATLES...made the world a better place to live in...as opposed to NOW! GOD HELP US!!!

  • George and John, with their hair grown long, kinda looked like Jesus (or how i imagine him)

  • he sounds just like his father

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, if you were TRYING to piss me off you have succeeded. You compared a John Lennon studio recording, to a Julian Lennon live show, probably recorded with a camcorder. What kind of a comparison is that?

  • From Baby: I wish John was still here. Even more so now that the war is still over. And Ringo, sorry for leaving you at the convienence store last year but I'm in Branson now and would like to chat with you and Paul. Saw Paul here a few months back but couldn't get the driver of the car to stop. Stop by and see me. Louise knows where I live.

  • Julian has a much better voice then Sean, although I am sure there are "TONS" of Sean fans. He had mega money voice lessons etc, and he still sucks. What IS tragic is that John and Julian were starting to mend a relationship that was crap, also, I really disliked Yoko, UNTIL John was shot, and I saw her and listened to what she said and my heart broke for her. As far as being a heroin addict, back then WHO WASN'T?

  • good god oooh lord he sound like him huh like his shit am confused.. oi !!

  • I think Lennon was a good person but what he did to poor Julian and his mother is TERRIBLE! Didn't even send Julian any acknowledgment! Julian a great singer compared to Sean, too. I have nothing against John, Sean, or Yoko. But who knows, maybe if he never left his first wife maybe he'd still be alive! I know that's a terrible thing to say, but one wonders...

  • He probably still be dead, unfortunately, considering he was killed by a physco for attention...

  • Comment removed

  • The killer knew that John lived at the Dakota. It wasn't a hotel, it was the building he was living in, and had been for a couple of years.

  • oh no, he was a heroine addict, that must mean he was not peaceful or loving!!!

    that is the dumbest statement I've ever heard

    who cares what drugs he was addicted to? He did alot of good for the world. I agree, he wasn't the greatest father, but lets see you go through the shit hhe went through as a child, become a rockstar, get addicted, and then try to be a great father while you deal with the addiction and being whisked around every which way due to his carreer

  • he meant julian was 17 when john died.

  • john lennon was a shit father and julian says he has no respect for him as a man or a father, its the john lennon all you freaks hate hearing about

  • yeah, but with all of the media attention john was getting with his peace rallies like the bed-in, he really couldn't raise a son. but i do agree with you, he should have cared more about his son than anything else. he wasn't a very good father.

  • You've a lovely attitude. Who are "all you freaks." Is hatred and insult for great swathes of people you don't know a normal starting point for communication with you?

  • John was a human being with all the nobility and frailties that come with the territory. He was no saint.

    John Lennon's father skipped out and John's mom parked him with Aunt Mimi. He didn't have a male role model to learn parenting skills growing up.

    John had to contend with the life of a successful Rock musician with all the negatives that come with the territory.

    Could you do as well?

    Yoko did help John become a better father with Sean.

  • Wrong.

    Without John confronting his past, including uniting his son during his Lost Weekend, John will not become a better father according to John's best friends.

    It was really May Pang, not Yoko that John realize his mistakes and become a better father.

  • Wrong? If May Pang was so important, why did John return to Yoko? Did May Pang support John's wish to be a house husband and raise Sean (which occurs after 18 month lost weekend)? The Lennons may have their relationship challenges, however, Yoko called both John and May nearly every day.

  • Well, even if he did return to Yoko, John still love with May Pang. He talk ed to her while "Mother" went away.

    He was still thinking about her until his death.,Renshen1957

    Many people give too much credit onYoko which she did little on John's life.

  • 0:38 all too true. RIP George <3

    RIP John<3

  • Yeah, I meant John died when Julian was 17

  • Aww John was so mean to Julian when he was little. It's too bad John was murdered right as their relationship was starting to build.

  • Fortunately they did start.

  • yeah i know. but it's weird to see when he came into julian's life. about the same time his mum came into his... it's like he thought that not having a complete family was character building...

  • It's weird; John and his mother started getting close when he was a teenager and died when he was 16.

    Julian and John started bonding when he was a teenager and John died when he was 17.

    Freaky.

  • @Canadianabanana Just like john and his mother. She was run over when he just started to make a relationship.

  • @Canadianabanana what do you mean he was mean to him when he was little?

  • @topgunXXXI John always had such an issue with the fact that HIS dad left him when he was a kid, but despite that, he decided to leave his own son, Julian anyways. And Julian has said that John used to call him a "mistake after a few too many drinks" right to his face. He was a great dad to Sean, but he never cared for Julian. Watch a video on here called "Julian Lennon on John" and you'll get more detail from Julian himself.

  • @Canadianabanana maybe he was just trying to be blunt with the boy... not lying to him.. he and his mom were having a good night , some drinks, started getting hot and some babies got made.. it wasnt planned.. so technically it is a mistake after a few too many drinks. Not a mistake in the sense that he wished it didnt happen, but that it just happened.

  • @Canadianabanana I think it had a very negative affect on well one, world peace, two, today's music, and third, Sean and Julian's music careers.. They are great, don't get me wrong. But like Sean, he doesn't "believe" in happy songs, which were in a sense what launched the Beatles success.

  • @Canadianabanana John was never mean to Julian. He just didn't know how to handle kids.

  • @Canadianabanana  i agree

  • @Canadianabanana John was not MEAN to Julian? IF U read the 100's of books, etc one WILL find TRUTH! he was a father who was world famous, who had disagreements with Jules mum took care of them both very well. He was married too young then real fame came was making a living for his family & life took him down a path to finding out FINALLY who HE was. SOUND FAMILIAR? Lennon was exemplary human & no different than me or you. ONLY HE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS! I say IS because he IS still here, forever.

  • @OurLordLennon Julian said himself that he respected John as a musician, but not as a father.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pommejaune78 Apparently you dont see the whole picture & are taking Julians comment out of context....Jules loves his father in the same way that many kids do when the family is broken up. No ones fault, such has happened for ions, & the kids feel abandoned....IF I were abandoned, I could NOT think of a better person to be abandoned by, but in this case actually NOT REALLY abandoned at all......many have followed, read, SEEN THEM, & researched for yrs & yrs, myself since 1965.

  • This is the worst video I've ever seen.

    If you can't edit, dont post. I just wasted 2 minutes of my life watching your garbage.

  • AHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • given the fact its not the best editing work. You're a titty bit harsh. People post all kinds of garbage on youtube..and trust me I've seen worse than this.  And what is 2 mins of a whole life. Get one!

  • Julian look so like John !

  • Comment removed

  • Julian, more shout !

  • The Dream will never be over.

  • The choppy editing makes it SOOOOOOO touching! Thanks, Julian.

  • cool

  • the dreams not over....

  • OMG AMAZING Video!!!<3

    John and Julian are sooooo HOT!!!!:-*

  • Julian is effing gorgeous!

  • Poor julian

  • Yeah....Sweet guy,,but a charisma

    of 0.0.

  • YEAH CHARISM ISNT GENETIC.SHAME THO

  • in the book John by cynthia lennon

    she said that when john died, yoko kept ownership over john's belongings when it wasn't even meant for her, julian was saddened by this. she also told julian about john's cremated ashes in the urn over the fireplace, he was in horror

  • Love that Book read it last week GREAT source of information...very good read.

  • yeah it was really awesome as i read it, it looked as though john and cynthia would be together forever

    then yoko just HAD to interfere
