John Lennon - I Found Out - With Lyrics

[shirin2556]

just keep u crazy with nothing to do

[elvispresley718]

soundz like the beginning of punk rock to me

[Itsnottoobad]

Great :)

[22mar79]

Best music ever.

[Punkdrummer921]

Blues rock, not punk. Take it from a drummer.

[chooooooooba]

@Punkdrummer921 punk snob. punk isn't about a drum beat. john lennon is a f*(kin punk rocker, deal with it.

[raponte1955]

@Punkdrummer921 Exactly right! But still very close to "blues-punk-rock" a la White Stripes.

[JonahMills006]

is the whole album like this? punkish? it's cool.

[22mar79]

@JonahMills006 Yes, best album ever.

[Khultan]

@JonahMills006 Punkish? Please, explain that, I'm just wondering what would make you think so.

[morsimaniman]

There were no Beatles,just john lennon and three desperate guys tryin to keep up.

[help4343]

@morsimaniman

false

[SandyPrincessPatty]

@morsimaniman THIS <3

[txemata1]

Casi parece punk. Lennon con lo minimo; Guitarra, bajo, y bateria. Y si, es Ringo.

[toolfankrk]

perfect album and grest lyrics

[karlitos993]

Lo mismo que en well well well, Ringo a la bateria,Klaus Voorman(ex manfred man) al bajo, y John a la guitarra. minimalismo. Recuerda al punk, antes de que se hubiese inventado.

[kainthevampireduck]

@karlitos993 escuchá las canciónes rockeras en vivo en el star club en hamburgo en el 62, justo despues de que entró ringo a la banta y "todo encajó", son una aplanadora, parecen proto-punk como 15 años antes, la velocidad, la batería, la forma de rascar las guitarras, los gritos..... sobre todo long tall sally.

[brenonion]

Now that I've found out, I know I can cry.

John is my homeboy for that line alone.

[bladesofglory12]

they didn't want me so they made me a star!!!

[drrobertoboogie97]

There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky

[LegendKnight93]

@drrobertoboogie97 Why must you say such a thing to people?

[sarita336]

THERE AIN'T NO JESUS GONNA COME OUT THE SKY!

[stan469]

@sarita336 Now that I found out, I know I can cry!

[starlost1957]

@sarita336 He's wrong!!!!

[drrobertoboogie97]

@starlost1957 He's right!!!

[calito96]

what album is this from?

[davidbelkevitz1311]

@calito96

Hi, it's from the first John Lennon album after The Beatles split up in 1970. John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band.

[kakashitimesete]

@calito96: Plastic Ono Band, his first album after the beatles

[covenantofgrace100]

Fantastic expression of feelings and opinion put to music...a legend in his time...

[MyDreamside]

i like how he is saying the word star so they made me a star

[residentevlidead]

This isn't blues it's so hard is ten times more blues this hard rock

[wasthere1]

Rocks in a way that was new and fresh. John went out on a limb and it was a great way to get inside this song.

[Tsull123]

3 People still haven't found out.

[hokutonoken86]

KILLER TRACK!!!!! GOD JOHN!

[decafjones]

klaus on bass...and the bass carries the tune...

[davidkarm2]

what album does everyone here think is better imagine or plastic ono band

[KUUSproductions]

@davidkarm2 Plastic Ono Band

[1995Sian]

is it me or is this song just a dig at george and paul???

[TrevEdHaddCox]

@1995Sian its about the US following him and him finding out

[Tsull123]

I think the lyrics are "Don't give me that 'brother, brother, brother' brother" Amazing tune.

[drrobertoboogie97]

@Tsull123 It's not "brother, brother, brother, brother" but "brutha, brutha, brutha, brutha", there's a slight Scouse accent there

[Tsull123]

@drrobertoboogie97 No doubt, he pronounces it "brutha". What i was saying is that the lyric isn't him saying brother 4x, but rather him conveying that he's annoyed with the "brother, brother, brother" (hey brother, can you spare a dime?) sentiment, but still considers people like that his brother.

[DerekBayRoberts1]

"Heard something about my ma & pa, they didnt want me so they made me a star". Thats moastly how it is with child stars now, whats behind the glamour, most of thier parants didnt care for them, didnt even want them so instead of throwing them away, they put them on TV and make them famous. Then thier little lives go downhill from there.

Good one, John!

[Tsull123]

@DerekBayRoberts1 I see it as "they didn't want me so they made me a star" meaning he felt cast out in the world at a young age (cared for by 1 aunt, most schookids had 2 whole parents), that caused him pain and searching which led him to become a star.

Todays child stars are vehicles for parents' dashed ambitions for the most part, most seem to want to become famous for being the parent of that kid more than they want to enrich the lives of their kids.

/end overanalytical rant =D

[irishman05050505]

Competing with Yesterday? Imagine? They bare no similarities. As John put it (to Paul actually) Imagine was Working Class Hero with sugar on top.

[twinflame93]

@irishman05050505 Actually i think he said Imagine (the album) was Plastic Ono Band (the album) with sugar on top.

[irishman05050505]

@twinflame93 Here's a direct quote from John in a letter to Paul: "So you think Imagine ain't political? It's Working Class Hero with sugar on it for conservatives like yourself!!!"

[twinflame93]

@irishman05050505 - Fair enough but i remember reading an interview with john-rolling stone perhaps? - where he said Imagine the album was Plastic Ono Band with sugar on top.

[irishman05050505]

Ooooh so gritty, lol people just can't get over the Beatle Lennon to give the solo Lennon a fair shake. Sorry, he wasn't singing All You Need Is Love anymore, he wasn't the same person. I love Plastic Ono Band and the honesty displayed on the album is still unmatched.

[Link71596]

yes john there is jesus and you know know that there is one

[richig761]

@Link71596 Actually I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

[drrobertoboogie97]

@Link71596 No, there ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky. John's right here.

[kcirdrab]

C-R-A-P

[richig761]

@kcirdrab Why is this song crap?

[kcirdrab]

@richig761 - It`s Lennon past his sell by date, pretending to be a bluesy guy. Ersatz & empty, a long long way from the brilliance of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'.

Lennon was burnt out as an artist after '68.

[richig761]

@kcirdrab Well you'd have millions of other people to dispute that with. Including tons of great musicians. This album is widely considered one of lennon's best. I understand if you don't like the lack of production in his post beatle music. However, I love the raw sound, and so do tons of others. Seriously? You're going to sit here and say nothing he did after 68 was great? Abbey Road? Imagine? Working Class Hero? Nothing?

[kcirdrab]

@richig761 - I`ll give you a couple of tracks like 'Working Class Hero', 'Cold Turkey', etc, but this was the guttering of the artistic flame in Lennon, I think he was quite burnt out after '68 & produced mostly substandard stuff after. 'Imagine' is ok but over-rated & a bit creepy, really it`s a 2nd rate attempt to compete with McCartney`s Yesterday which L. was envious of.

[MrRC1992]

@kcirdrab wow, that's the most bullshite i've ever read on youtube. Lennon 4 Ever

[m06een00]

@kcirdrab

I don't think Lennon was pretending to be a blues artist for a moment. He didn't have any need to pretend anything. He was writing how he felt at the time, and that just happened to be how this track turned out. You may as well say that in Working Class Hero, Lennon was pretending to be a folk artist, which would be equally absurd.

[kcirdrab]

@m06een00 - For a period in the 70s Lennon believed his own press & was trying to prove that he was a master of all arts by working in all mediums with garbagey results. Hence the book of "poetry", the "acting" in films, the "performance art" in Ono`s crap, & trying to show he was fluent in Blues as he was other musical styles, which he wasn`t. He was a total non-event at Blues as this rubbish shows.

WKH is a ballad, a style of music that Lennon could do pretty well, that`s the difference.

[drrobertoboogie97]

@kcirdrab John can't do blues? I suggest you listen to Yer Blues, then comment.

[kcirdrab]

@drrobertoboogie97 Heard it - nothing there to change my opinion, he was no Bluesman

[jsmyers24151]

@kcirdrab I disagree. Revolution (the released version) was a smart and searing blues song; one of the most recognizable intros out there; as soon as it starts, you know what it is and who's playing it; then you shut up and listen, and will more than likely sing along; I know I do.

[OSOHTS]

so... this is john lennon? at the start it says it's by the somethingorother band but... it's john, right? (sorry, i'm a bit dumb when it comes to such things)

[richig761]

@OSOHTS Plastic Ono Band is the name of the album, not the artist. Yes, this is John Lennon. His first solo album release after the Beatles. It's an understandable question if you're not a big Beatles/Lennon fan? You're not the first one lol. Don't worry about it.

[OSOHTS]

@richig761 cool, thanks for that. :)

[ettorejim]

ringo does the drums..??

[MP5141]

@ettorejim Yes, Ringo on drums

[Corkskrew999]

Roger that! Of course I came here for Klaus on true-bass!



[remifg]

@ettorejim All the plastic ono band album is with ringo to the drum

[Xmenfan246]

@ettorejim Ringo plays drums on John and Yoko's Plastic Ono Band albums. Every Beatles fan knows that.

[ettorejim]

@Xmenfan246 You 're right ..!! I should have know that..!!

[OHMYGORDIE]

Fantastic Tune!!

[cometandcupids]

Rock on.

[FlameHound99]

really listening to this song makes you feel his pain. just listen to his voice

he's always so genuine. his music come from the soul

[FlingsPooAtTheZoo]

Love the drum fills @2:31. Unmistakable style & finesse of Mr. Starkey!

[buzonperiodista]

Lennon was a candid bastard. Love it.

[JimmyVonJim]

wow this song is awesome

[DElasee]

was it really right of him to make fun of even george's beliefs? He pretty much put his feelings into 'my sweet lord' and 'long, long, long', y'know?

This song is mighty, but John needed to stop being butt hurt all the time.

[DanielBowden1975]

My favorite solo Lennon track

[carlin882]

What does "I told you bout my ma and my pa, they didn't want me so they made me a star" mean?

[iHeartHeathLedger]

I don't reallt know what he means by it because I'm not him...Haha.. But his dad left when he was young and his mother died when so i think he always felt like people he loved left him...

[rdelacroix]

imo, it's prolly like how chaotic it takes to create one star, like the one we see in the sky. Think about the Big Bang Theory, all those explosions that make the process seem chaotic are like the painful experiences that John went through. Put simply, those fueled his emotions and affected the way he lived his life and wrote his songs and music.

just my opinion ^^

[bubbastwin]

@carlin882 Because his parents were gone by the time he was 15 or 16( somewhere around there) and he was a star by 24 without the help of parents to mature into what he was

[junaid1]

@bubbastwin Also it is because John sufferered tremendous emotional anquish feeling that he was unwanted, this "energy" is what propelled him to achieve, musically, philosophically, and in honesty. So his parents inadvertantly made him a star. He sang about love because he felt deprived and about peace because he had violent straks of anger....he was an amazing man and we were lucky to have him even for a short time.

[DoctorPencilK]

Were "I Found Out" and "God" from this album the two most shocking songs to have been released by a famous artist back when this album was made?

[drizzit06]

Noop. Working Class Hero is even darker and meaner. Plus it has 2 f bombs lol.

[mecetnoca]

raw...

[c0m3t0g3th3r]

The peppers do a fantastic cover.

[alexsc89]

o great master!

we are the eggman!!!

we love you you are inmortal!

[dedset1]

he was ahead of his time

[789pequignot]

great song

[Farnum112]

I found out.

[EliasCrowe]

How did he know what I have in my hand?

X)

[stratman123]

Law of Averages.

[Ingridthepoet]

@EliasCrowe XD hahaha

[drrobertoboogie97]

@EliasCrowe He found out.

[brentos78]

the term '"secular' religions" makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...but what do i know, i'm just a graduate student studying theology

[drizzit06]

It makes a heck of a lot of sense. Most religions are more concered with secular pursuits and not divine. Most religious leaders duites consist of a lot more than just helping people find God.

[brentos78]

by definition, it is impossible for there to be a "secular religion" but you're right, most religions are as concerned with the secular as they are with the divine. i'm just saying that regarding the etymology of the phrase, no religion can be secular, the idea itself is contradictory. and i'm still not sure what this guy is going on about Jews for...

[italobeats]

"i´ve see religions from jesus to paul, don´t let them fool you with dope and cocaine no one can harm you fell your own pain" NICE NICE Xp great john!

[Jornev]

Perfect. Perfect album.

[MCJK4435]

Weird to think that you would ask some so called beatles fan: "Do you know that song?" And they would reply no. When to me it is probably one of best three songs any beatle ever wrote... Indeed great underrated song

[landstrom27]

this song is freakin awsome. john lennon is the only artist i can think of that can make a song heavy without puttin alot of distortion in the guitar.

[mike584]

@landstrom27 he was very underrated as a guitarist...he did some sick shit on a guitar but his songwriting genius ALWAYS overshadowed everything else.

[vkillbud]

this the best version of this song you can feel his true feelings

[richig761]

Glad somebody posted this with the lyrics.
