  • he sounds exactly like john

  • @Cuteiswhatiaim4dude yes, you got it! he is so much more talented than sean!!!!

  • Weltklasse

  • me enamore! Juliaaaaan, hombre! no eres real...

  • Jules,

    You should come to Boston and Play this at EARTHFEST 2012!

    You were so ahead of your time-

    That would be perfect for sooooooo many!

    We would Love IT!

  • Such a darling, and such a wonderful song!! <3

  • Giggity Gig!

  • beautifull song.... I love julian

  • A big talent and I can see John doing this song. Julian is the inheritor of John's gift. Sean? Not so much. And that is as kind as I can put it.

  • absolutelly BEAUTIFULL!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

  • It is the masterpiece .. music, lyrics performance etc hope to hear more songs like that to wake up all

  • Performed by the John Lennon keep his lie alive entourage (including audience)

    lip synched and all.

  • @TheFoxStevie Fuck off.

  • I sooo love Your Music and Message! This was the first Song I heard of you 1993...surprize it was and timing was right!!

  • If only John was around to see this performance.

  • His Dad may have been selfish but he got the genetics for that voice from John. He could be even better if he chose to. A beautiful voice for a "beautiful boy" and I don't mean his younger half brother. Rock on Jullian, you're talented. Use that talent! Little did he know what we had ahead of us or maybe he did. :( Jullian, you're a star!

  • His Dad may have been selfish but he got the genetics for that voice from John. He could be even better if he chose to. A beautiful voice for a "beautiful boy" and I don't mean his younger half brother. Rock on Jullian, you're talented. Use that talent!

  • Great Job Posting this, and letting me stumble onto it . sweet .

    Jules Rocks all the time. Waiting for your new album no doubt....

  • John Lennon was a great song writer... I think Julian has him covered vocally though. John grossly overrated as a solo artist.

  • dad never did a live performance of this quality. Nor could he sing this well. Great songwriter Dad though and this is also a terific work.

  • The best John Lennon song, John Lennon never wrote.

  • Four people are absolute wankers!!!!

  • he sounds so pro live... the good old days when the record sounds like the performance

  • Perfect for now

  • this video is still watched in 2011

  • @MrJakeb1193 and 2012

  • awesome song!!!

  • this song is sooo beautiful.... amaaazing

  • As much this is a hypocritical statement as I do hate how everyone compares Julian & Sean to their father, you really can close your eyes and hear John in both the interview and the song...

  • He looks like Nicholas Cage

  • @DjSpartacus Your comment made me laugh. Everyone on here is talking about Julian compared to John and you say "He looks like Nicholas Cage". Haha brilliant!

  • As for as Enviromental,Ecological Songs go;this is one of the most beautiful EVER written.

    The Music Video THAT JULIAN MADE FOR THIS SONG IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL,AND SHOULD BE SEEN MORE OFTEN.

    IT'S STILL NOT AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE.

  • The great Lennon would have been proud of his beautiful voice!!

  • It's a great song ya know!

  • I miss those days when there were real lyricists and songs meant something.

  • exactly @ instereovideos-- stop with the comparisons. I don't think he deserves that kind of crap. We ALL have parents that we have gotten something from. Our hair, nose, height etc etc but noone keeps telling us that we are just a part of them rather than who we really are. Ya he has some of his dad's traits and some from his Mum and his ancestors. WOW what a surprise. John died, may he RIP, he will be missed, yes, but Julian has amazing talent on his own. And only in my opinion, he is better

  • @caroline0747 Great comment my friend ♪

  • That Face.....That Voice........Those Magical Lyrics....JOHN ARE YOU BACK???

  • 'why should one baby feel so hungry she cries' ...had a tear at that point.

  • i like julian lennon more than his father

  • "time is not a friend, cos friends we're out of time" - channeling the old man :)

  • Clearly only 1 son inherited His talent! (It wasn't Sean)

  • One of the most beautiful songs and talents of all time. Listen to the words.

  • I love this song Julian! Thank you for being talented like your beloved Father John.

  • Salt water is a goooosebumps song

  • This is Rock Star Awesome! I'd love to hear him sing "Just Like Starting Over"! He needs and WILL come back soon!

  • And now the Japanese earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. This could be LA.

  • Beautiful song ! Beautiful soul singing this. I cried when I watched this vid and the videos of the tsunami in Japan. The earth has been destroyed by anti Christ demons and now it's too late .So sad for the children born in the 90's to present day.

  • Yes, thank you Jules. Well if we had your money we could put our words into action too. Words in action ... you give us our words (they're HEAVENLY) and we all know in our hearts that things will have to change. I remember this song from 20 years ago ~ so has anything changed Julian ... at the top, I mean?

  • i have a hunch john wrote this song

  • @clazza01 --- why would you say something like that??? Maybe you should credit all of Julian and/or Seans songs to John. You do not think that these boys can think/write on their own?? Juian has written a lot of amazing songs and still is. I don't think he needs to take anyone elses writings, what an awful insult. There are times when I truly hope Julian does not read these remarks. Imagine how discouraging some of them could be. There was John,, and then there was Julian. Two diff men period.

  • @caroline0747 sorry i didn't mean to offend Julian

    just i thought john may have written it and left it as a present

    sorry

  • Beautiful and heartfelt song!!! Julian is so talented and amazing! he carries his father´s genes, love and respect for the world. I wish him the best in his life. <3<3

  • Nicely done BrilliANT. How about a fund raising concert with internet participants record and sell donate proceeds to Geen pEQCE OR SOM PROac2tive organizaiton. TO get it done or raise awareness.

  • Always loved this song,and this live version is beautiful

  • i have to admit i like juilian lennon song s more the seans anyone else agree

  • great song man .

  • that's a lovely song. thank you.

  • that's a lovely song. thank you.

  • My mom loves Julian Lennon's music and it might not be my type of music,but I grew up hearing it and you have to respect someone like him. So,dispite the fact that I'm more of a metal person,I salute you,Julian Lennon. Great song,great musician,amazing person.

  • better man than his dad. julian is class. john just had the luck. both great in different ways

  • nice

  • Love this..... have done for years. Julian Lennon - what a guy! 

  • Errr.. I got a question what is Julian Lennon's mothers name?? Thx :)

  • @xXCandiiLuvzXx Cynthia Lennon

  • @seqouiaflame oh thx :D

  • @xXCandiiLuvzXx Cynthia Powell

  • I like it cos its about the environment. lmfao XD

  • very beatlesq.... but a lovely song to stir the conscience

  • good melody, AWFUL lyrics

  • @mm091540 Nonsense, great lyrics. Its his fuckin song, so stfu

  • You guys can all stop with the big, flowery, bullshit statements like, "this is a testament to his father..." No, this is a testament to Julian. Who gives a damn if his dad would have been "proud" or not? Try to listen to the music for what it is without slobbering over whose biological offspring he is. He hardly knew John and it wouldn't make a difference if he did... he's always been his own artist, his own person, and this music would be incredible if he was the son of a kangaroo.

  • @instereovideos I think it DOES make a difference whose son he is, though it means very little in terms of how consistent his work is. But artistic talent is often passed down, and I'm sorry but whether or not people care for John Lennon no one can deny he was an extraordinary artist. To be his son may be a double-edged sword for Julian, but he has made it clear he's proud to be. So if people want to acknowledge this talented guy is also the son of a brilliant artist, what's wrong with that?

  • @lalalives I'm proud to be my dad's son too... has nothing to do with whether or not I can write a song. There's your answer.

  • @instereovideos His Dad was selfish. That is documented. Julian was successful in spite of him, if anything.

  • @DAVWAVE Totally agree. As a huge Beatles fan I hate to admit that John was a selfish bastard when it came to his treatment of his oldest son. He certainly wasn't there for most of Julian's life, so why doe people give him credit for his son's talent.

  • Comment removed

  • @instereovideos That is a retarded statment because he gets his talent from his father, if he was the son of a kangaroo he'd just be able to hop lol

  • @italianfl wow, you're clever like a fox. I didn't know that talent was something fathers give to their sons. All this time I thought that my father and I were good at different things, but now I'm going to have to call him up and thank him for all the things I can do, because apparently you've done a genetics study on the heritability of a "talent gene" which is confirmed to be passed down from male to male. I didn't look at the science journals this week, I hope you can forgive my oversight.

  • @instereovideos I knew you'd make some dumb ass reply about what i said. So you dont think kids inherit alot of thier abilities form thier parents? Where do you think it comes from. Not saying everyone is just like thier parents your over thinking this whole thing dont be a dumb ass your whole life. He looks like john he sings & sounds like john obviously he got his talent abilty from John. I guess you got your genes from the milk man lol.

  • @italianfl Cool bro, you're a psychic too. I guess you should submit some stuff to the psychology journals too.

  • @instereovideos This is a great comment my friend♪ I think of Julian reading 80% of these 'you look like your father &co' and going 'Okay; thank you!, an honour!.but what about myself? I broke my back writing this,designing that, researching on whales.Okay, my name's John Charles Julian: what about removing CJ and leave it as John Lennon Jr!.? Julian is proud of his heritage & loves his dad but check out his strong personality..Just try to be in his place for a while and let me know. Peace ♪

  • @Virpatrick Agreed 100%. John Lennon is John lennon and Julian is his own person

  • @4s2work Welcome my friend ;) Looking fwd to listen to Julian's New Album... Peace & Love

  • @instereovideos very well said!

  • @instereovideos I am the son of a Kangaroo... my name...? ...Skippy...!

  • Oh my word, Julian is fantastic live. It sounds exactly like the original exept with a few instruments missing. Blown me away

  • Julian Lennon is pretty damn cool. There is NO Fake Crap here. 

  • Great song his dad would have been proud - god bless brothers

  • just because he looks like hes father it dont mean you can compare him of the beatles or john it is julian good work respect for that if you love hes music then love him for who he hes it is not john

  • i used to cry every time i heard this song as a little girl. even back then i was a little eco warrior. takes me back to a time when i started to realise what a mess the world was in.

  • its the best song ever, we sung it in musuc n i cried lol tg its deadly

  • Reminds me of his dad so much!

  • Great song!!!...john would have been proud of that one....thanks for posting!

  • beautiful job

  • Quite simply one of the most important and beautiful songs of the 20th century.

    Jullian Lennon with thIS one track showed that he has picked up his father's Musicial gene.

    PURE. CLASS!!!!

  • I am sure Cynthia is very proud..

  • Could you imagine if took the place of his dad in a Beatles reunion, even a one off charity raising event..... although sadly George is no longer with us....

  • Great Song!!!!!

  • Absolutely beautiful.

  • my god he sounds exactly the same live and he does in the studio :)

  • julian...you shines

  • Great song and great person. Is father would be proud

  • "God Bless" You and your Dad Juian.

  • saltwater wells in my eyes too...

  • saltwater wells in my eyes too...

  • like father, like son? Good job I say.

  • I believe this is a great song with meaning. And I believe we all are responsible for our planet. We take from our planet, but we also need to give back to our planet.

  • What we're doing wrong? It's the Illuminati! Your dad knew that Julian

  • Great song, but his dad knew what was happening to humanity more than his son!

  • Great song, but is he as aware of the New World Order like his father over 20 years ago?

  • lovely

  • My word he sounds like his dad...

  • Beautiful song - such a simple melody.

  • man merkt doch schnell wer sein vater war. auch julian ist ein genie wirklich klasse

  • Wow fantastic singer and very handsome too!

  • saltwater is grat no friend

  • What surprises me is how Julian L. looks like Johnny "Rotten" Lydon,!

  • Comment removed

  • XTC and this song have much in common... as does John L, of course. but this is inspired, personal FEELING. My humble regards to Julian, from far off Argentina!

  • i loved this when i was 15. Now ive grown up and realise how cliche'd it is. funny how you lot dont hear it.

  • @jamiewhatwhat

    Maybe you were more AWARE when you were 15. The song is simple and very direct, and pretty. Great things usually are. Don't be ashamed of what you liked years ago. You may not have been wrong!

  • I think this is such a great song. Why is the official music video for this song not available with the song?

  • It's not our place? YOU are making songs out of mOUR misery and you think it's not your place to try and make a difference through "our" suffering?

  • You go Julian! We are listening, and soon more will open their eyes and help lead the changes needed!

  • julian,

    i dont know if you ever read these comments, but you have a special talent, irrespective of who your father was....................youve made your own career and your one the worlds greatest musicians.......brilliant song.........good luck

  • Sounds like something found in dads desk-drawer.... Beautiful

  • nydelig sang

  • exellent

  • my god you would think john never died a testament to his father an amazing talent

  • @paulallan1000 Point made....This bastard is awesome...

  • Beautiful!

    There is, 'Salt Water' in the eyes.

    God Bless

    ~*LOVE ALWAYS*~

  • AWESOME!

  • This is Fantastic! :D

  • Do people hate Sean Lennon because he's Yoko's kid too? I mean, ok, he's not the best musician around, but there's much crappier stuff around and they didn't even have famous dads. Cut him some slack.

  • The most beautiful and profound song ever written about the environment. It should be the anthem we sing when we fight climate change -- to save 'the rock revolving around a golden song - the billion children rolled into one." Thank you, Julian, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me hope. Hope that I hope can help me to act.

  • Absolutely love this one!!! Julian a credit to his dad!! :-D

  • As a child Sean might have had the best of John , but Julian inherited his dads looks....voice...sensitivity and compassion.

  • @chalyminx i am no Sean hater but i have to agree with you., because Sean needs to wear glasses and somewhat mimic his father's gestures., Julian, on the other hand, is born with it., Everything's innate.,

  • Great song!!! Really our world is getting destroyed. The oil spill has fire water coming out of my eyes for real. What a shame what world are we leaving for our children?

  • Ta to all artists for the save the rainforest CD

  • 17 years gone and nothing has changed!

  • jaysus, its not bad, fair deuce

  • <3 I love you

  • With the current Gulf oil spill this is so relevant

    

  • Great video!

  • Comment removed

  • Great song jules!!

  • Fantastic song, fantastic video. Years ahead of its time.

  • The sequel to his dads 'Imagine'

  • Sean sucks. Julian is a musician.

  • What a neat guy.

  • Sounds like his father, in his voice

  • julian you are gorgeous... love the song..... ps,.. you look so so much like your dad.......

  • Beautiful Melody with a purpose!

  • Great wisdom along with great music - beautiful!

  • Who's the weird gringo lookin bitch at the beggining pretending to give a shit about Lennon's song & not getting a steady paycheck. Fuckin poser.

  • @FuckOffMate23 You mean Carlos Santana??

  • your dad would be very proud of you .great julian

  • i was listening to this song in iTunes beatles radio (but the original version), and i didn't even look who was singing it 'cause i thought it was john. It's amazing how similar he sounds to his father. I'm Sure John is very proud up there.

  • Great song. Stuck in my head from childhood... Great song.

  • incredebly good...

    He should be better estimated - a god singing ....

  • it is brilliant

  • awesum

  • yhe real lennon is blood

  • Thanks for posting!
