Beatles-Julia-Home Demo

[ConradHeiligCover]

Was für ein wunderschönes Lied, Ich liebe John Lennon

[makiavelli999]

He is singing about his mum Julia. She was killed by an off duty copper who was drinking and driving. Her death had an immense impact on his life, a void he only managed to fill when he fell in love with Yoko. So I sing a song of love for Julia.. :-) BEAUTIFUL!

[VoiceofTX]

Singing about his sister Julia.

[hiimln]

@VoiceofTX Or about his mother whose death changed his entire life, maybe.

[Immatureist]

half of what I say is meanning less...

[THRILLTAKEN]

i love the demos for me they are the real song!

[Oxbtl]

I love you John Wiston Lennon.......

[LadyDaGa1995]

Wonderful hoarseness... This voice is the voice of world peace. John - now you rest in peace ... We love you forever <3

[OrisLover]

Sounds like John's purposely singing quietly so Yoko can't hear what he's playing. He probably did this to ensure that she didn't demand to contribute some of her horrible rediculous singing to this wondeful song. Thank God!

[maracdc17]

Ese no es Lennon, es un imitador

[kammhron]

Awesome cut. Thanx.

[TheLadyjazzy1]

Awesome!! I Love John and the Beatles!! Glad i was around and alive for their entire career.RIP JOHN and JUILIA Together AT Last !!Peace!!

[Dirthtallgeese]

╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮ Two Jerks don't love his mother

[Laurathediscojockey]

This song puts me in a trance of peace

[luigi972]

i really like this song and other songs from the beatles in acoustic. I listned to strawberry fields demo version and it was great :)

[52sbj]

Written for his mom.  So beautiful.

[sophiesdad45]

Amazing and raw. Feels so good to my soul.

[Ineslucci]

Thanks for share this

[Davy1288]

sometimes i like the demos better. to me they are much more personal.

[55810082]

I love this photo of Lennon.

[tishdad]

not as polished as the album version but the beauty is there

[julio235nd]

RARE is this song I love hippys! ha ha :)

[julio235nd]

 RARE is this song

[ArlithCake]

You can hear the sorrow for his mother in this recording. Breaks my heart!

Beautiful, nonetheless.

[immortalestella]

i love this song. I love the Beatles. I love that my name is Julia.

[augustusdes]

This is a peek into the soul of John Lennon....

[gymmomj]

Crying now. John is gone 30 yrs now. What a waste. The world is a sadder place without the words and music of Mr. Lennon.

[ledder68]

The guitar is haunting. I feel like I've evedropping.

[alwayswithmyfaith]

looks like the dr, Okun in the day of independence xDDD

[SpykerZaggato84]

Hehe, John looks like a hippe :)

[Abe91195]

@SpykerZaggato84 he was a hippy? i didnt know that!haha

[meanwiddlekid]

He looks like Geddy Lee in that picture.

[spittface]

man i remember a long time ago my brother played dear prudence and julia

i felt high bcuz i couldnt tell the difference

[itgelll]

is this really John Lennon....?

[TheRebekkaXD]

@itgelll Yes. This picture is in the song "Something"

[gigy625]

YEAH MY NAME

[bentheled]

One of lennons best without a doubt

[itzcoatlrod]

Gracias por compartir este demo

[Dohko256]

This song is really good

I love john lennon songs...

[Screenman5]

This sounds like it was done by John at 4 in the morning. Great!!!

[onestupidman]

A nice young man at Grocery helped me, and asked if I'd like to give $1 to charity.

I don't usually do that for Organized charities; but he went out of his way...

He asked if I'd like to write my name on the donation card they display.

I said:No, and chuckled...then, Yes--Just put "For Julia."

:-)

[whirlyfan]

nice !

[bseenmedia2]

it really sounds like someone imitating john lennon doing a demo. at some points his singing is out of tune and he is constantly doing the Lennon emphasis on certain parts of words.

[ksjoyjespeace]

Thanks for posting! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DEMO VERSION?! Just curious;thanks!

[MartinGuitarLover1]

This is awesome thx for posting

[mosystoner]

chapman killed john

[zenbudhism]

A great use for the web , sharing a rare song version, without the web probably 34000 peole would never have heard this. A great song from John to his mum

[aengorn7]

Please watch "Original Copy's" video with beautiful song "Shine". It souds like good old The Beatles songs.

[Haemocultura]

Lennon is the best singer in the world. And... he's never gonna be die!!!!

[Navire75]

Merci beaucoup pour cette démo de John ! ...Hélène

[benopolly]

I don't which I like more, weed or the Beatles

[The1superbeatlefreak]

beautiful :( ily johnny <3 forever

[cristian067]

a plenasooo

[TheBognasty]

beautiful.

[pallallan]

And thank You for that ;?)

[bsuperman3]

everyone just enjoy the fucking song! its great and he put so much heart in this song. and who cars about what his nose looks like? yes he did drugs but remember.. ITS JOHN LENNON!

[shackleberry]

@bsuperman3 Chill Whigga!

[ouneouneouneoune]

and what if he did drugs?  half of you do them

[pallallan]

This is one of the great songs from the greatest God created on earth! Rock on!

[sandyxklaws]

uhhhg.. john lennon.. not god

[winstoness]

@sandyxclaws: dumb ass!

[sandyxklaws]

saying he was bigger than jesus is what got him killed..

that and holden caufield

[tullig78]

@sandyxklaws

Hey dude your wrong, Lennon was so famous that ordinary people felt a connection with him, like Elvis and others. Check out the making of Imagine there is a scene where a homeless fan comes to the house and talks with Lennon, it just gives an insight to the day to day life of the man. Personally I feel that Lennon was very gifted and few can compare!!! As for Jesus give me one thread of truth as to his divinity and I will kneel, In other words its a load of hocus pocus.

[sandyxklaws]

@tullig78 im not sure what that really has to do with what i said..

[MrKite053]

What a great post this is....very,very,well appreciated. This is such rare audio,thanks again.

[spitblueblood]

I've always wonder who broke John's nose or when it happened. I think that anyone who has had their nose broken would agree that his face shows all the signs, especially when he got older quit the beatles and (almost) went anorexic. You couldn't really see it in his "fat" beatle days (around Help) because his face is so rounded. .The bridge is bent slightly to the right. Gives his glasses a good place to rest.

[AOCRkid]

he did coke.

[spitblueblood]

Coke might fuck with you're septum, if you're snorting it, but theres no way it will move the bridge of you're nose over.

[AOCRkid]

it kinda just looks like a bad picture though. the shape is still there.

[ouneouneouneoune]

sayin john snorted is an insult to his person.....man he did heroin just once. what he did most was LSD

[tearecords]

@ouneouneouneoune Just once? Wake up and smell the foil burning! But mostly he smoked a lot of weed,

[OropherThranduil]

@ouneouneouneoune

are you fucking dreaming?

his song cold turkey is all about his battle with heroin addiction he and yoko had.

[ouneouneouneoune]

@OropherThranduil sory but you re wrong, he did heroin ONCE, SAYING THAT HE WAS ADDICT reveals ignorance of you, john lennons drug of choice was LSD, and he never abused nothing, you should study this matter before argue bullshit

[OropherThranduil]

@ouneouneouneoune

oh my fucking god, are you really that stupid?

you don't get addicted to fucking LSD:

„We sniffed a little when we were in real pain. We got such a hard time from everyone, and I’ve had so much thrown at me and at Yoko, especially at Yoko. We took H because of what the Beatles and others were doing to us. But we got out of it.“

[ouneouneouneoune]

@OropherThranduil  was i saying that LSD is addictive ? -_-'

tell me then where you found these words of john

[ouneouneouneoune]

@OropherThranduil i ve been using LSD for 4 years since i was 15, lol so i m not really that stupid...

[OropherThranduil]

@ouneouneouneoune

in of his rolling stones interviews he and yoko did in the 70s.

and another one:

According to Peter Brown in his book The Love You Make, the song was written in a "creative outburst" following Lennon and Ono going "cold turkey" from their brief heroin addictions.

[flythrough123]

R, fill the void anyway.

[kuguragirl]

This song makes me cry. I love john lennon. if he could only see what this world has become without his wonderful presence...(cries :})

[lalo1976us]

I think the same

[kfoster009]

Very nice!! Happy Birthday John!

[abeatle75]

lennon is great

this song is great

beatles are great

long live the beatles¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[Gasolari]

@abeatle75 oh!.. I thought it was "long live the greats"...

[abeatle75]

@Gasolari its kinda the same. ok,ok there are many great musicians,not just the beatles but they are the most ones(....i think)

[Gasolari]

@abeatle75 it was a silly joke. Cheers!

[ironbuttermilk]

Julia Lennon and Mary McCartney gave birth to John and Paul. Their deaths gave birth to the Beatles.

[lavinialuna]

Wow, that is profound. The sacrifice those boys made so the world would ever be  changed....

[boxanova66]

@ironbuttermilk what a stupid thing to say

[ironbuttermilk]

@boxanova66 That's because you don't know what the hell I'm talking about. You've probably never gone through the loss of someone that important to you at that age, and therefore have no idea what it can do to someone. A lot of famous people are drive to succeed because of the pain of early loss, it's an 'active compensatory factor'. I get the feeling you just said it to start a fight anyhow.

[boxanova66]

@boxanova66 yeah sorry don't take it personally...

[residentevlidead]

@ironbuttermilk Kind of ironic, how I bet John and Paul would give it all away to be with them again

[nowhereman91162]

@ironbuttermilk Sorry to inform you! There was no Paul or anyone for that matter. except John Lennon and the Quarrymen. Without John we would have no Beatles

[ironbuttermilk]

@nowhereman91162 Wow, you totally missed the point.

[Davy1288]

@ironbuttermilk

so sad yet so true. in great pain came great music. music that changed the world.

[sasybee]

thanx for sharing, it was just a great listening, i love it

[Rawego]

anyone who comments on other people's comments here is the jackass.

oops! :))

[BeatleUniversity]

My mother just passed away. Her name was Tulia.

[jba2323]

HE REALY MISSED HIS MOTHER

[spinalCJ]

you can tell he's just grasping the finger picking style at this stage, he learned it in like 3 days apparently and wrote this song with it.

[Dreed122]

John Lennon man.... just the best.

[chitos95]

thia is better

[Rawego]

that picture of him is just wild, he looks like a Hassidic Jew. Mazel Tov!!!

[RennerandBain]

jewlia

[KittyMcSilver]

Stupid Yoko absolutely ruined him as a human being. What a brilliant, beautiful talent he was.

[klinsmeier]

No, it isn´t true, that Ono ruined him. But I sometimes share this point of view, when I hear "Give Peace a Chance", which might also have been written and performed by some Psychiatry-Project.

[TheRaindrops]

If the beatles didn't broke up that earlier we would have still amazing albums, just think of my sweet lord, live and let die, imagine, give peace a chance(played as band) and many others

[eazyduzitjacob]

yoko didnt ruin him.

thats just an excuse people have because they cant grasp the fact that all good things must come to an end, so they blame it on yoko by some vague info.

[notaphaser]

I could only wish to find a love as deep as the one John and Yoko had.....I think you're rather far off the mark, sir, ma'am, whichever....

[MsHeartsOnFire61]

simply amazing !! you are truly missed

John. R.I.P.

[record1207]

Amazing... one of the very Best at just improvising

and feelings right from the heart!!!!

[juliaisamazingx3]

i hope you never get rid of this video.

[sweettrt]

Thanks for posting!

[vskrishna]

I love john

[torteille]

Txs for posting this gem (sort of!) 5* and Fav'D

Txs

[neutrolino]

It's more of a Joan than a Donovan picking pattern. There is much that remains hidden as far as the Beatle's myth...Many untold facts...

[neutrolino]

It was Joan Baez that taught John to fingerpic like this...I bet they had an affair...Ask Joan.

[Novaroma12]

did u have to choose such a terrible pic of john?

[gahivengirl]

hey! he looks great :P

[imthespaceinvader]

I like these kinds of real, raw, imperfect demos. I just close my eyes and pretend my buddy John is just sitting here next to me, strumming away..

[skeletalwreck]

I think Mark David Chapman pretended similar things! ...wow, possibly the worst place i could have pulled a joke like that lol

[liganj]

perfect song!!! so beatifull

[oventer]

he actually knew his mother well, despite the fact he lived with his aunt.

he was absolutely distraught when his mother got hit by an off-duty police officer driving near lennon's aunt's house.

[Screamers123]

Show some repect for this song Kazxl.. it was written for his mother he bareley knew..it's a childs love song for his mother; it doesn't matter how it sounds.

[thedawnhorse23]

i think john would totally disagree with this statement, he is too enlightened to believe he is infallible, and he was not into loyalism for the sake of loyalism or blind following. He also was aware that everyone is entitled to like or dislike what one wishes.

[lxKazxl]

I squeeze my penis

[joanilo21]

Esta cancion es todo.

[morganfish1]

true true

[diananavarroo]

Aw why do you hate this song? Just asking. I looove this song, this is my favorite song, hands down. In the world.

[cwli123]

I think this and strawberry field forever are his best. I you think that his voice isnt good, that's because he recorded this song in 1 take.

[lxKazxl]

Strawberry fields is amazing. And I dont hate the beatles, I have a video of my top 10 songs of theirs on this account.. Check it out.

[klinsmeier]

I think so too! Strawberry Fields is so great, and together with Paul s "Penny Lane" on the A-Side (or B-Side?)of the single, they recorded the best single ever so far on earth!

[morganfish1]

wow i can sing about my mom also?

[SassafrasAxeHero]

Whatever motherfucker shot John Lennon is a total bitch.

[beatlesremix]

Agreed, there is also a patician to keep him in prison

[knightsofavalon]

Im not sure if it's just me but I swear Kurt has a picture of him with the same exact look and of course hair style just without the glasses I think Kurt was really inspired by John

[EllisStreetFilms]

Kurt was a huge Beatles fan. Fun fact: Kurt played this very song between takes while Nirvana was recording their album "Nevermind".

[tangyferbreze]

my friend dryunx would love you.

[HookedOnSonics518]

He could play this song underwater and I would still love it. Damn, I miss John Lennon.

[jonasluvr098]

this song is great its about his mother

[seansinclair]

try to play it!

[ErisofScorpio]

"So I sing a song of love."

Ring a bell?

[u198808]

I think you suck

[morganfish1]

right back at cha stupid hippie

[u198808]

Stupid hippie, great come back.

[morganfish1]

thanks i can tell you dont go to "skloul" dick weed.

[SongfromBohemia]

Wow, is it me or did you just insult yourself? xD

[sigler22]

Well at least you can think.

[morganfish1]

dam hippies
