John Lennon - Nobody Loves You When You're Down And Out

[Nefarioso]

"....Everybody loves you when you're six feet underground..."

[moize2008]

this song sounds like lou reed´s  ¨sad song¨

[HannahHypnotize96]

I'm honestly about to cry... ♥

[pouidg]

I always want to sing the brasses of "All things must pass" just when john play the third chord..

Many, many years ago, I was reading a Batman comic book. It was about a typical night in the life of Batman. After beating up some thug and leaving him for the local police to collect, Batman started to swing among the buildings of Gotham on his bat rope, and was singing this song.

upされた方に感謝します。

John Lennonの曲では,特に秀逸で好きな曲です。

He was a great musician!!!❤

[WillisProvidence]

bowie spent the 70's trying to write this song

[IndependentGeorge76]

@WillisProvidence right on the money.

[VirginsL]

This song is amazing

[kmc56]

One of my favorite John albums. I just recently played "Beef Jerky" to some one who had never heard it.

[Canaboy12]

check out my tunes on iacmusic.com search "ruminate" and "politics of exclusion",..

[bladesofglory12]

John Lennon doesn't even feel like a part of music, he feels like a part of life.

[IndependentGeorge76]

i'm not a huge Lennon fan, but this is his best song. poignant and evocative, very much captures a feeling

[txemata1]

Enorme,un sonido grandioso. Y un "repaso" de Lennon al show bussines.Esto es una joya escondida.Me gusta la frase: I scratch your buck, you knife mine. Yo arrasco tu espalda, tu apuñalas la mia.Esta musica ya no se hace hoy, perfecta desde el principio al final.

[johnlennonz]

hahahahahahahahaha el 9 en la playera hahahahahaha

[kaitlinan]

Walls and Bridges is such a great album... a little secret among John fans, I guess, it should be more well-known.

[TheBeatleguy10]

"Nobody Loves You When Your Down And Out"......But I Will Love John Forever...............

[JotheBytle]

oh my good. this sounds so fantastic. walls and bridges ist my most love album from john. have tears in my eyes

[MegaObserver1]

John's homage to his former producer Phil Spector. Complete with the "wall of sound".  John later said that he envisioned Frank Sinatra signing this.

[cometandcupids]

You're the real noob if you think those three albums he did with Yoko were great.

[shuddupeyaface]

One of the very greatest popular vocalists chose to mangle his voice like this.

That's the Human mind for you!

[pabs300]

that's right whenver i feel meancholic i lay this song..its a classic

[lotec51]

this is one of my most favorite songs. there have been times when the wordsof this song just hits home

[Richieboy16323]

A really good album, and, while supposedly on his "lost" weekend, which really wasn't as lost as people make it out to be..

[cometandcupids]

Ninth solo album? I wouldn't count the albums he did with Yoko. Two Virgins, Life With Lions, and Wedding album were all crap.

[thebeatles4ever3]

@cometandcupids i agree with you man! i start counting at John Lennon/Plastic Ono band, thats when the real Lennon comes out :)

[John91040]

@cometandcupids

Good that you are just a noob and your opinion don't count.

[Monkofmagnesia]

What do you mean, "credited to John Lennon." Do you somehow doubt Lennon wrote it?

[piggies1]

@Monkofmagnesia John Lennon used the pseudonym of "Winston O'Boogie in this album.

[reverendflash]

@piggies1

Then shouldn't you write "Credited to Dr. Winston O'Boogie"?

[ratonmickey83]

@piggies1 Exactly. That's John Lennon.

[ezemouro2]

@Monkofmagnesia it was written by jimmy cox in 1923

[ianwilson2007]

@ezemouro2 that's a completely different song. That one is nobody KNOWS YOU.....different words and tune. Listen to Clapton's (or anyone's) version on here and tell me it's the same song.

[tommyrock69]

God Bless you John. You are so missed in this world.

[kmats13]

i wonder why it didn't become more popular, one of his best songs in my opinion

[subg88]

Even the lyrics, now that I think about it, could be a message to George.

[bourbonbigshot]

@subg88 This song reminds me of Isn't it a Pity. The Beatles were often doing private jokes on their solo album that only the other three would catch on to.

[subg88]

Am I only the one who hears this as a nod to George Harrison? From the acoustic guitar tone, to the horns, orchestration and overall arrangement to some of the melodic fragments to the slide guitar at 2:57, it seems to me like John decided to produce a track Harrison style. He did the same of the album with Beef Jerky, in which he directly lifted lead guitar note for note from a Paul tune.

[sonic116]

@subg88 yeah.. reminds me of isn't it a pity?

[sonnesong]

Likely. It's the album cover of the album "Walls and Bridges" which this track is on.

One of my favourite Lennon tracks :)

[ledZeppelin7680]

a childhood Lennon painting, did you find that somewhere or are you in possession of it?
