Sean Lennon - On Again Off Again

[cracks21229]

I always wonder who taught people the guitar. I guess Paul taught John most of what he knew beyond the basics that Julia may have known and Keith Richards learned off the records, I think. I wonder who taught Sean? He probably took very expensive lessons. I liked this song.

[AllTehMuh]

@cracks21229 Paul was a bassist. George probably taught everyone. A little known fact is that George wrote a lot of the songs and then John put his name on them, as to imply co-writing the songs, which was not necessarily the case.

[emaclynch]

he got his fathers talent.unfortunately he didn't get all of it.......so it sounds like a guy with talent.that really kinda sucks........

[TheGuerreros3]

Martin 000 15M??

[Atomicflash500]

he puts together songs by taking parts of others

[LemingTV]

MASTERPIECE...

[ailuJBby]

&i love him

[josephdtin]

it's so rare I hear a song i instantly fall in love with, and when I do all I want to do is listen to it over and over.

[MegaMrfuckyou]

this record is ,amazing , seriously

[Rakermania]

Quem ta tentando tirar essa musica da joinha

[Rakermania]

O que temos que fazer para ele dominaro mundo com sua musica,porque ele tem talento de sobra para isso!

[joyce99999]

Dearest Sean:

although I love many of your songs, this one is my absolute favorite! I find myself walking around the house singing this for days! So beautiful, just like you.....

love,

joyce

p.s., I also love parachute!

[MsMFirefly]

I have that guitar...if I'm assuming right that its a 1930's model 0-17 model Martin. Although it looks a little bigger than that. I can't tell...anyone know?

[dav8d777]

Wow! Does he ever hold the same chord for more than a second? Sean's convinced me there's such a thing as a "musical gene". He naturally sounds a little like his father, but the composition of his songs is totally his own. Nice, satisfying music Sean!

[heygreydey]

a major talent in his own write (sic)

[th30k]

GOD ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!

I CAN HEAR JOHN IN YOUR VOICE AS WELL !!

[th30k]

I LOVE YOU SEAN!!

-THEO KEYES

[jablkovastrudla]

he is a very very very bad singer

[lzam95]

Sean you are so friken awesome



[fabfourgroupie]

love that song!!perfect harmonies

[Mrmtjones]

everyone STFU, if sean came before john and played this song in 1962 people would have gone APE SHIT. APE. SHIT.

[chrislopez44]

@Mrmtjones take it easy and slowly put the shit down on the ground.

[MMAfan030]

@Mrmtjones i just like this comment because of the APE SHIT it gives a nice angry touch :)

[chavrons1]

@Mrmtjones and if i came before you, i would have liked him.

[pacinopacino]

I think Sean is a great talent. Through him, we cannot help but be reminded of his father and in a way that has to be a great thing. I've heard a lot of negative about Sean... Why???? Can people not just get the fact that music is in his blood. Although he is not his father...he is part of him and the influences are all there to see. John would be so proud of his "beautiful boy" . Well done Sean. You are your own man and talent in your own right...and John continues to live through you

[LeahsLegacy19569]

Sean Lennon's "On and Off Again" is beautiful. With Love, Peace and Blessings!!! :-)

[kahspot]

bs

[markpeterjameslegg]

Love this song.

[IJustSing]

Sean... I am proud of you...

[goodfellow1951]

He's is own man, we should stop comparing him to his father, take him for what he his a talented young man

[loneberry7]

i really like Sean's music! 

[smashingpumkitty]

i love sean's voice. ...... I can listen to this song over and over 

[Guitarist2098]

great guitarist.

[FrodoDojo]

Yikes.

[2bassbuds]

I still prefer Julian over Sean! Where did Julian disappear to anyway?

[lalalives]

@2bassbuds I really, really love Julian and his voice is perfect. But the more hear Sean's songwriting the more I start to prefer Sean over Jules. He's an amazing songwriter and amazing live in concert. They're both really great artists though.

[diegoloxa92]

When Sean was composing his songs he thought let's make the guitar part difficult as hell, so anyone could cover them.

Every Sean's song I try to play, a new dissapointment I get. God Damn It!!

[Lelinxlp]

I love you Sean Lennon s2

[cystermisterie]

This is so beautiful and permeates soul deep, definite tear-jerkin' type of song. I love it, kudos to Sean. <3

[munizlj47]

lol a modern version of john lennon... but he's not he's SEAN Lennon lol

[koriepfrank]

The apple did NOT fall far from the tree. I love that he has a similar voice to John's, and he's got the gift of songwriting. Cheers.

Korie Frank

[xNikkaX3]

I think he should realease a acoustic album, and scew the fixed ones.

[Stewerrvideos]

He's the savior of music

[SnowShart]

@Stewerrvideos no

[Stewerrvideos]

@SnowShart Why don't you think so :)?

[SnowShart]

@Stewerrvideos How exactly is he "saving" music? It's an incredibly crazy statement to me.

[Stewerrvideos]

@SnowShart Well, i might live in a fantasy world, but i believe that by doing what he loves to do, he destroys the idea of music being a money maker, like rihanna, or justin bieber(Yes im stereotype), because he continues even though he isnt that popular for his music.. He's way more popular for his father.... So by saying "i dont care bout money, i love doing this!" i think that is saving music, because it is inspiring.

[SnowShart]

@Stewerrvideos Great response. Have a lovely holiday.

[Stewerrvideos]

@SnowShart I know you think its lame:b... But thx, and you too:D

[SnowShart]

@Stewerrvideos I don't think it's lame. I understand where you are coming from!!!!

[Stewerrvideos]

@SnowShart where:D?

[pablotedeath]

@Stewerrvideos i would´nt care about money either if i was john lennon son, JA!

[krypted318]

Such a sweet voice. Such sweet yet confused lyrics.

[AnnalovesKevinJayy]

John's son or not, he's amazing.

[TheHedgehogss]

He looks like John's clone.

[davidluque2]

wonderful

[qprebel1]

thumbs if you agree every member of the beatles should of had sons that later formed a band and continued their legacy

[Kakkoss]

@elpulento sabe

[catullus06]

this is just wonderful

[soccabat]

I prefer this version to the real one

[pmpcorrea]

beautiful

[buzzbeerguy]

YAWN....please its not his right just because he is john's son...has this guy ever had a hit single??? sounds like he could be a good wedding singer...take the money and run sean...run far far away...tell yoko thanks for f**king up the greatest rock band and legend in the world....

[Timeofchords]

@buzzbeerguy The only reason this guy isnt famous is cause of his awesome music genre.He plays like he is in the 20th century...that is awesome but todays people dont want that.

[Woundheir]

So, he is bad because he didnt have a single.

Yeah dude, your understanding of music is wide.

I don´t even even know if you are being serious. If you are, you are really stupid.

[buzzbeerguy]

@Woundheir Dude i usually don't reply back but since you threw the first stone, here I go....listen I forgot more about music than you know...listening to sean lennon or the backstreet boys doesn't make you an expert either....stick to what you know best, mooching off your parents, and playing video games. Leave the music to those who know a little something about it you turd....

[rhcp500]

@buzzbeerguy Woundheir is right. Your logic and your opinion suck. If you can't hear this song for what it is, maybe you should stick towaiting around for the radio to tell you what the next great song is. The fact that you still think Yoko broke up the Beatles says everything about what you (don't) know

[redbond9]

@buzzbeerguy i agree with woundheir me and my father knows what happend in the beatles yoko didnt break up the beatles it was just a misunderstanding tought yoko loved him when it was really john so basicly paul made the call to break up but thats just an opinion it is true he hasent had a single but im only 14 and yet i can tell great music from crap they pass off as music

[redbond9]

@redbond9 srry paul thought in after misunderstanding

[skillzbeat]

@buzzbeerguy Having a hit single doesn't make you great. You obviously don't know much about music if you're bashing him because he hasn't written a hit. Hits don't make a song great, it just makes sure more people listen to it. Just because not as many people know about any of his songs, doesn't mean he sucks. Don't come one here and bash musicians, because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Oh yeah and, news flash, Yoko didn't break up the Beatles. People like you did.

[NYMets1854]

sings a little like his father

[pushistikya]

Absolutely love this song. He's amazing

[anne0203]

chagrio do you know what guitar brand this is pls ? I want Sean's sound !

[CavernClub63]

@anne0203 its a Martin guitar not sure what model!

[ItsTheQuigley]

@CavernClub63 A Martin D-15 i think

[cRaZyTRimZ]

thott you might know very pricey guitar but worth it if you are a singer/chord person

[MrTaylorN]

Martin 00-15 or 000-15

[lindatomz]

@anne0203 ItI think is a old Martin 00-17 (mahogany guitar),now you can buy a Martin 00-15 (i have one)and its the same guitar but the time afeccts the sound of the guitar, and a 00-17 sounds much better than a 00-15

I love Sean songs and my 00-15 has this sound, buy it!

sorry for my english im spanish

[Nitromatic]

I don't know what else to say.. This is beautiful!

[towser06]

beautiful...like that..

[tiansebas]

Great guitar playing. He doesn't sound lile John, his voice is much more femenine. Julian sounds a lot more like John to be honest. I'm not a Yoko hater lots of people don't know what a cool creative woman she is and all John left us thanks to her. This guy's an awsome player and composer but you don't have to like his voice just cause he's John's son. However, he DOES look a lot like him.

[xNikkaX3]

I think he's the perfect combo of John and Yoko. He sounds like John but is more high pitched like Yoko and he mostly looks like a hairy asian John. xD

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

brill!!

[MegaSpaghett]

wow... his voice really sounds like john.. and he really does look like him...

[perosoav]

Perfect voice, perfect singing, perfect playing!

[TheHartlepoolgirl]

The older Sean gets, the more like John he looks and sounds.

[jjbin1]

What an excellent song!!!!!!!

[fl0werchi1d]

This is such a beautiful song. So much feeling and brilliant lyrics and guitar. Lovely.

[cRobert2020]

I just found my favorite Sean Lennon song. Some of his songs leave me wishing he'd sung them with "umph" in there and there isn't any. This one is good.

[nicolas1400]

stop comparing sean vs john. it´s anoying... just enjoy his music.

[Famehater]

this is just incredible man fuck!! XD

[hughesman2]

chorus is mesmerizing

[gufok]

this song reminds me something that would be on diorama, by silverchair

[MyGodMyGodWhyhaveI]

Sheesh Ka vo Sheesh Ka Vesh !

[ANiGBfYL]

Es igual a John.....Pero John canta mejor. Lo digo con respeto..

[CannabisExpress]

i wonder what its like to be john lennons son......

[eye8allthepizza]

im pretty sure its actually hard in a way...

everybody talk about your father, and all they see is your father in you, and forget to see who you really are.

Im just guessing though.

[iJimy]

is seans birth the only example of not showing a asian gene? haha never see that like look and john and kate plus 8 all are asain exept kate...

[xNikkaX3]

You don't see the asian in him? :o I do. Plush John has some freaking strong gene's. xD

[xNikkaX3]

Plus*

[lowfreq65]

douche bag

[xNikkaX3]

I love this song :D

[elocinANDylime]

I love him..

He is so much hotter than John Lennon.

[RileysMommy1201]

Beautiful! Sean Doesn't get the credit he deserves. He is Very talented.

[REIworker]

@RileysMommy1201 everyone has their hurdles

[sheilaboy44]

i wish he would sit on my face

[zapeti1235]

He's got a good voice! great job Sean! cheers man!

[jasonj31]

I love this song i always hear alittle bit of his father Rip John and George

[1SterlingStar]

Should probably work with Jason Falkner, huh?

[stormtrooper62]

Great idea!!! They should get together!

[cRaZyTRimZ]

its got that beatles style

[ummm6yeah]

that was just so relaxing....great job, Mr. Ono Lennon :)

[Invicto2000]

Grande Sean. Me pregunto si hay una mejor canción de él. Yo no lo creo.

[Maritha21]

would i be the one!

[jaso331]

great work sean!!!!

[laosandburma]

The "R" problem he has just gets me thinking about Julius Caesar in Monty Python! "Welease a Wecord!!

[helenacreswild]

fantastic

love the song and this acoustic version is so fine

[lautylilo]

Lindsay looks beautiful, goddes(L)

[lamentate07]

Sean's voice sounds much better in these live acoustic vids than it did on 'Friendly Fire'.

he needs to stop using effects on his mic. too much vocal production - it's completely unnecessary.

[chagrio]

u rigth!!

[Xenobiarch]

@lamentate07 that's probably because he is very uncertain of his voice and talent. imagine a life where everyone you meet just tells you 'you'll never be as good as your dad!' you can't develop a very high self esteem that way. people should just shut up and let sean be sean. but I totally agree with you, he sounds much better acoustic.

[Homemadeholocaust]

great song. Shame he can't pronounce Forever haha fowever.

[laosandburma]

YES! I am so surprised he hasn't been told/advised to get his R's fixed! It makes him sound gay. He has an oddly high pitched talking voice for a man. Hate to say Michael Jackson-like!

[cRaZyTRimZ]

o yeah does that you feel good huh mr hard asss .. get a fuking life

[LandProductions22]

Anybody have an mp3 version of this exact version? If you do please message me.

[chagrio]

me LOL ... just give me 2 days, ok?? to which mail??

[MoonGaurd]

@chagrio Send me the MP3 too.. daxman_57@yahoo. com

[MatHrtxC]

@chagrio dude! i want it too!!!!

[Stewerrvideos]

@LandProductions22 Find it on grooveshark:D they're all there:D

[CourtyardPigeon]

Quite a bit of "In My Life" there, no?

[rndmlndn]

totally

[alrod666]

my new favourite song. daddy would be proud. :-)

[fanlubby89]

Is Great Wonderful

[tommygolzz]

hhuaaaaahhhhh...,really2 cool

[chaiOO30]

I am crying, i love this song ... I rembember my x- boyfriend

[Twirretwarre]

Wow, this made me cold, what a great voice and wow, how he uses this, it is really very special! And a great song with great melody and chords.

So beautiful! Really beautiful!

Roeleke

[susysue22]

I used to hate sean lennon music and I really couldn't stand his voice; but after hearing this live acoustic version of on again/off again I think I'm in love. Amazing, I take all my rude remarks back; he is awesome.

[BEATLESfreak4]

i know what you mean he has those crazy videos where -after hearing this- you can tell they altered his voice somewhat. i like him better live accustic its fantastic!

[deadtigerworld]

john would have loved this... sean is so talented and plays and sings beautifully. wow, what amazing chord changes!

[ebagots]

He's so good! I remember watching a documentary and he said how John tried to teach him guitar but it didn't really work. But now he plays so beautifully!  He looks so much like his dad, I feel like my heart just dropped.

[hullygullys]

Beautiful

[alocubano1110]

great voice

[timoteo1234567]

Man este tema es un temazo!!!quiero decir esta muy bueno!!!..

[Keruaran]

Anyone saying John Lennon would be in any way disappointed with Sean is just a retard.

John would be beaming with pride saying, "thats my son there".

John called Sean, "my pride".

[lisalennonxoxo]

Who ever said that? Sean is amazing I've been iin love with his music since I was 15.

[Keruaran]

Someone on here did... a few people commented on it... but meh, I love Sean Lennon's music. His dad would be very proud of him.

[jasminemonaeX0]

i like sean and julian...they both have beautiful voices and a unmistakable gift for music!

maybe someday as genious as their daddy!...

maybe...love the lennons!

[korne05]

me mata la frase que dice IF I CAN`T HOLD YOU...SOMEBODY WILL es un capo sean

[anitasseo]

ii loco ahuandee shon ´iejaa!!! eeeeee

bamo lo sestoooon

:P

[KackyKay]

He has talent, whether he is John Lennon's son or not. I like the sound a lot.

[DoctorWho0151654]

Betcha all the people who say that Sean sucks would love him if they listened to the music without knowing he was John's son.

[gotmonkeyfinger]

Good Point,I agree, it's just a little annoying that they (Julian, Sean and Yoko) are just Mimicking John to this degree. I mean, just look at Sean. there is too much thought and grooming put into it. John was GREAT for his originality, creativity and genius. It makes me feel like John is being violated, you know? It is a good song and sounds very Nice, and your rite, If I didn't know who he is, I would probably buy a CD.

[Carkey15]

i love him...honestly who ever is saying John would be disapointed in Sean or Julian is a fool....and obviously not a real fan of John...if you knew anything about John then you would know that he would be proud no matter what..he was a loving and great man so all you pricks can suck it

[cmartin03345]

So get over your delusions of acting like you know John Lennon and saying he wouldn't be proud fucking schmucks.

Anyway Friendly Fire is a great album and I can't wait for more albums from him and hopefully a tour in the States where I can see him

[cmartin03345]

Why does everyone have to sit and argue about Sean, John and Julian saying how one or the other dissapoints their dad. Both are great in their own right and although I'm more partial to Sean, it's an arrogant and asinine statement for one to say their father wouldn't be proud of their work.

Jakob Dylan is different than Bob and is great in his own right solo and with the Wallflowers and Dhani Harrison is great and creative with Thenewno2 and different from his dad

[badboypoet]

Sounds like somone I know

[Irene070871]

It's unspeakable beautiful song.

Viva Sean Lennon!

[elpollococo]

I think Sean is his own man. Some people just love arguing. Nevertheless, I think this song's sad and beautiful

[drummerm3]

i dont want to get in all those senseless discussions

i think this is a beautiful song, and i tried to make a cover, check it out if you want!

[aristesdrivers]

Hey Mr FarlPa!

U R just an asshole!! So please shut up!

Thank u MR!

[sprigglebot]

tubelogin1, maybe if you gave real feedback instead of throwing insults for no given reason, people would take you more seriously =) you could start by telling people why you think sean lennon is a "weasel" *rolls eyes* i really hope you, along with the other people insulting this guy, do not consider yourself a john lennon fan. and if you do, do you think john lennon would appreciate these derogatory comments you are making about his son?

[gabrielle9965]

Me encanta sean lennon su rostro es identico asu padre mi idolo john lennon, sean esta dotado de talentos desde su nacimiento, mas sin embargo considero nulo el hecho de que sean pueda igualar a su padre...

viva john lennon!! (L)

Imagine all the people living for today (8)...

[littleboybrown]

Great song!

[polobblondon]

c'est juste pur j'adore. domage kil soi pa plu conu ke sa on doi se dire c le fils de john c de la contrefaçon!!!

mais non...

[UnderstandHim]

he looks totally like his father in this one... commerical stunt ...

[aurits88]

Sean me encanta, tiene una carita tan linda y su estilo de música es muy original, me gusta :)

[flesheatingbull]

some awesome chords changes in that song.

[Smoogly5]

great job man, really nice. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

[wordwarriorabc]

Awesome sound.I can hear alot of John and looked so much like him,especially with the beard.Not hard to see that the apple falls from the same tree.Keep the tunes spinning.Great acoustics

[JshC77]

Sean looks so much like Yoko. You can tell tell the similarity with the eyes, hair, and the facial features. He does sing like her but looks somewhat like his father. Julian really resembles John much more
