Sean Lennon - Friendly Fire

[PerpetualLifecycle]

Now , i know that we have to stop comparing the three of them (John, Julian and Sean) .. but if i can interpret everyone on this commentboard, no matter if they're huge Sean fans or huge beatles / john / julian fans... they cant help but think of the relations musically anways.

My favorite Sean song btw.

[marioalberto10]

sean es, musicalmente, lo que seria john lennon si estuviera vivo, haciendo el tipo de experimentacion que hace, es realmente un genio

[MatyArias]

re linda la cansion...

[rococoness]

i think his voice is soo cute

[wol8698]

beatiful song

[zerokiryu93]

i think Sean just want to be himself but they aways compare him to his dad and brother and i bet thats why he try's so hard to be like his dad he a good artist hes on of my favorite artist well then theres the Beatles my favorite of all time :)) hes alwsome Sean Lennon:) hes caring out his father legacy and his :)

[whitesparrow99]

This entire album is golden.

[diegoloxa92]

@whitesparrow99 yeahh1

[kingsammythecat]

why is everyone bitching about sean, john and julian? they're all related and john was his kids major influence, so its inevitable to avoid comparing the three!

[robertlonzo]

beautiful

[11xzxzxz]

His song have meaning but they are always in search of a better melody, unlike Julian's better songs. This melody is one of his better ones, I admit.

[1DJPhresh]

Moving how this reflects what really happened to John, his gf, & best friend. Car accidents are fuucked

[sheametsfan6]

Sean Lennon is Sean Lennon, not just John Lennon's son

[Stewerrvideos]

John frusciante and Sean Lennon should try playing together, that would be as awesome as sonic vs mario!

[JokesOnYou11]

I'm loving the 420 address they slid in there lol :P

[marcelomantra]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[taniarebel]

i adore his voice, so soft (:

[marteenecho]

lol never realized the 420 before XD

[Lennononly]

The 'Friendly Fire' album is a master work of melody and song structure - wonderful clip.

[petyusayako]

is he gay?



[Raeafu]

@petyusayako even if he is, SO WHAT? his life :-/

[atticus731]

420 @ 2.38 !!!

[flakbac]

rich boy making a political statement ow radical spoiled wimp just like your old man

[GlamRockDesigns]

@flakbac Eh, it's about love and breakups. Way to project.

[BFDUHFCD]

Sean is great !

[abdulnajibazhfar]

system of a down??

didnt they said themselves that their songs are mostly if not all meaningless..

watch live performances...

[abbeyroadriot]

Sean is a separate person from John. His is musically talented in his own right.

[hogtty]

this song sucks so bad.  he has no talent. he leeches off of his fathers fame. you all have terrible taste

[BIGDEAN23]

@hogtty he didnt get the best set of genetics from yoko so cut him some slack. alot of sons in this world want to be like their father and he did.

[seanysmokes23]

i guess musical talent skips a generation in that family

[DiNoLoVeR234]

John Lennon is my idol. I feel like a part of him lives on in Sean. Sean is John's son. He has inherited his style of music and talent. May John's passion and talent live on in Sean! xD

[cydcyndy]

Very good job, moody, dark, sexy.....very goody job!

[georgekush]

420 is the address rofl

[aquariusfiume]

he is so beatiful!

[BLOODS411]

he really sound like his mom deadass rite

[Nic1020]

Sean is absolute perfection to me! Love, love, love this album!

[alexandriaheather]

He is the Beautiful Boy. He is John & Yoko's greatest collaboration. More importantly, he is an honest artist in his own right, a man who has obviously experienced the angst & beauty of life.

[waterskizz1]

Oh my god I cant listen to him without hearing John's voice. But you can hear yoko. like too much...

[ForeverBeatlesCom]

@waterskizz1 Yeah, the high, kinda annoying tone..

[anne0203]

Sean this is fabulous

[orlyzeelon]

this song is nice and 'dead meat ' is a masterpiece. talant runs in families so it is no surprize this guy is so brilliant.

His only problem is that he had a famous dad otherwise he would sky rocket

[oostermanju]

haha

it's basically just 'while my guitar gently weeps' with a very new spin. not saying i don't like it, cause it's really nice to see sean taking up the up his dad left him

as for his mother...

[orlyzeelon]

oostermanju-you are meen. he is great for himself,

[TehGate28]

Except George Harrison sung 'Weeps'

[MindTheDrift]

Its like art meets music,i wanna cry its that beautiful!

[krak253]

This video definitely raised my spirits tonight :]

Im so glad that john can live on within his son.

Because when i visited New York with my theater class we visited Yoko Onos house in New York and i just got the chills, knowing that i was standing in the same spot that John was taken from us.

So its nice seeing how much Sean resembles his father and hes not acting out or using his father as a cash cow, hes just simply trying to be an artist and appreciate music.

& THAT makes me happy :D

[TheMaz150]

I really expect more than him since he is JOHN LENNON's son ....but i guess he'll never be half as good as his dad .... LONG LIVE THE BEATLES

[TheManeatingchicken]

It's really uncool to compare him to his dad like that. You should judge him based on his art without refering to the beatles or John's later body of work.

[dh4ar]

agree

[watchuplovesongs13]

beautiful song<3

[kat74n1]

I LOVE HIS VOICE!!!!!!!

[SoFar2Go]

Wow, Elliott Smith here.

[optiwise1]

Fantastic song!!!!

[malejitagarzon]

tan bonito sean lennon

[Shwapples]

Hahahahah did anyone see the house number?

420!!

[blame14me]

The way this song is composed it reminds me of john and yoko's muscial style and presence mixed together into one amazing fusion.But then that is just what Sean is huh.Beautiful.

[ron20074]

i love him! i love this whole cd!

[Sk8rChic7]

i agree! i love sean! and his songs are great! ^_^

[Lildrummerboy50]

hes very talented his fathers genes are definitly in him :)

[sjin93]

is that his real girlfriend? i think i've seen her in like two of his other vids

[afiendishthingy88]

his ex-gf

[moonlily1]

fucked his best friend! terribly generous of him to give her a job anyway. i'd spit on the slag!

[afiendishthingy88]

same here but she did the videos for him because she felt bad and owed him for what she did to him.

[hogai95]

his best music i´ve listen

[000Marlon000]

i love would i be the one better but man he is damn talented plus his songs have meanings unlike metal.

[nmbcfanatic]

Sean is really talented andhis songs do have a lot of meaning, but metal songs tend to have a lot of meaning to. Just look at System of a Down songs, and Rage Against the Machine. Many metal songs have a lot of meaning, so please get your facts straight before you put down a musical genre.

[sabbatking]

I suggest you do your research. Bands such as, Sabbat (UK), and Skyclad have much more meaning and articulation in their lyrics than most bands you will find in any genre, and they are in fact, metal.

[tylereike]

I suggest that you keep your nay saying to your "in fact, metal" self. Thanks Dude.

[sabbatking]

I wasn't talking shit at all about Sean Lennon, I love his music. I'm only saying it's kind of ridiculous for someone to ridicule an entire genre especially because he is poorly educated in it. Do you not agree?

[tylereike]

I do agree. I was actually kinda buzzed when I posted that and didn't really catch what you were really talking about.

[seraphsin]

Sure, he's not a perfect vocalist. The fact that the passion of music is deep within him like his father is enough for me. I like that he's doing what he feels is satisfactory, and not trying to be -exactly- like his dad. Music isn't always about sounding perfectly on key.

[oversound9]

"Music isn't always about sounding perfectly on key. "

not realy agree....

alanis morisette is not always in the key and is a good singer and makes a good music....

[jvincenzo1111]

You're right! Perfectly done music is stull shit if the song sucks. Sean's music is real and I was pleasantly surprised how moving it was (is) almost all his songs move me!

[JacksVan3]

his musical talent is great but sometiems his voice is too high for me, but i love dead meat.

[kolberg100]

you think he's never been compared to his father before? sure, JL is a better singer, but what does that have to do with SL?

[Rhcpf12]

Amazing song, my favorite off the album. So able to relate. I love Sean Lennon. <3

[zumuva56]

viva Lennon padre

[lisalennonxoxo]

This was based on the girl that cheated on Sean with his best friend right?

What a fucking retard.

[finaltrooper]

i know i shouldnt be comparing john/sean/julian. But being a beatles' fan in this modern era, i wasnt there when john was still actively making music.

so sometimes i do cross my finger and hope the younger lennons will carry on their father's legacy, and make something which sounds like john.

but i also understand that they should have their own style rather than to just be a john lennon's clone.

ahh... i'm confused

[Roadstar121]

I recently watch the complete "Friendly Fire" works on DTV (Directed by Michele Civetta), and I must say this is some pretty cool and creative stuff! Keep it up Sean! You have a real talent there! I love the story lines mingling and entertwining throught all ten of the series. Sorry to hear about Max. F~

[ObiMatKenobi]

why shall he be like his father? he's going his own way in life. He looks like his father thats true and when i see him i always see john. But everybody has to get away from the point that he should or wants to be like his father.

John Lennon is a legend(eventhough he is the Beatle i liked less, sry^^)

in general: Agree with "thesite"

[salma0buzz]

that girl is her ex-gf.....bijou philips

[thesite]

John is John

Julian is Julian

Sean Is Sean

Nuff Said

[interpolluter29]

@thesite Couldn't have said it better myself.

[OnARun]

Awesome vid, Sean. You are so sweet & yummy in this. Mama want's to sooth ya....wow....

Funny thing I noticed about your songs that a rather "brutal" text comes wrapped in candyfloss....WELL; I don't kNOW this vid left me crying on the kitchen floor.

[madonnawhore]

I still can't decide between Sean and Julian's music. Too beautifully different to compare...

[lunaticocacho]

I don't want to hear another word from you now...!!!!!!

[Goedhartbros]

Sean Lennon for president!

[helennnie]

nothing against him and this song. but talk about horrible metaphors in this song..

[Kohl93]

i must admit i checked out this vid out of curiousity. i grew up listening to John Lennon's work. both on his own and as a Beatle.

certainly Sean Lennon's style of writing is nothing like his father's. but that's ok. it shouldn't be. they are 2 different people. and for what its worth...coming from a fan of John's. i believe John would be very proud of Sean for the work he's putting out.

peace.

[WanagiAkicita]

Julian will be asking Sean for money.

[billbloodma]

I FIND THAT HARD TO BELEAVE .

[MellowRuvisu]

Poor Sean X( Wonderful songs I'm going to get the album today for sure

Sean Lennon I love your songs XD

[Watercolorprincess]

is the girl in all these videos his real girlfriend???

[zinfandel61]

Ex girlfriend, Bijou Phillips; her affair with Sean's friend Max Leroy is what caused Sean to write the album, plus the fact that Max was killed in a motorcycle accident before Sean had a chance to make up with him.

[Watercolorprincess]

thanks for the info.

[Iborian4]

ahh I knew it was her! WOAH

I never knew she was his girlfriend...

[interpolluter29]

Wow. That's motivation any artist hopes never to run into. It makes me intereted in hearing the whole album now.

[bobzim64]

blablabla... his father... blablabla... his mother... blablabla... his brother...

c'mon... his album is just great... we don't care about the rest...

[aurits88]

i totally agree with you!! i love sean lennon, his music is original, it´s what he is and just that...

[USFtards]

@bobzim64

actually we do care john lennon was an amazing inspiration to evrything in the world... without his father/mother there is no sean therefore you must have a care for this great artist....

[bingccherry311]

haha...did you think you were on something??

[Corbin2332]

One who shares openly the heart and soul of emotional growth without fear,is one who transcends opinion, and flaw. I feel sean channels the spirit of those who truly believe in living expressively. john he is not, though not john, he is. This record is beautiful.

[atuma]

beautifully said.

[Corbin2332]

maybe he allows the world to remember through him a time when love was the ruling class.Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but how do you imitate what is yours by birth?

[zinfandel61]

My favourite song from the 'alblum'.

[azura3004]

i think his music is very good.you did well sean=)

however, i do think his voice is in some ways, comical and i hope thats not harsh to say, but it really sounds like he has a cold and is trying to sing out of it!=p

[nephthys1]

I think Sean Lennon is great, of course hes not Jhon Lennon but hes good all on his own!

And all you people saying "Oh John is way better, Sean sucks Jhon forever"

well that pretty sad

True fans of Jhon Lennon wouldn't be talking trash about his own blood

[AeroBeatlesDoorsLed]

so true

[borislav730]

There's no point in abusing him or saying John Lennon is the better. He is not trying to be the better performer or songwriter. What Sean does is simply playing music. After all he was influenced by the music around him and it is understandable to a certain extent that he would become an artist.

[chlarkroxs]

i agree with you. he is not trying to be like his father or trying to be better. he is just playing the music that he loves. if you people don't like it than don't serch for his videos.

[vintagegiulio]

Seans is a Clown!!!

seans, how do you sleep now?

John 4Ever!

[vintagegiulio]

Seans is a Clown!!!

seans, how do you sleep now?

John 4Ever!

[starlv69]

i dunno what all of his videos are all about ?

[shadb87]

scat

[ndnstd]

i guess if you're john's son you gotta at least try no matter what

[DropDeadKristen]

Don't get me wrong, I really like Sean's music, but if you listen to all of his songs one after another, the music in each of them is VERY similair. Sounds almost as if they are all the same song. I like him a lot though.

[Slashrock93]

He's got John Lennon's looks

[luis1134]

his lyrics are so catchy, he sure is a lennon. it's just good to hear some good music by him.

[marsapan93]

This song is hauntingly beautiful. I truly love it. Thank you Sean.

[haogen63]

sean lennon has an ever so slight persecution complex, which might be some of the theme of the "Friendly Fire" album... who hasn't felt that way b4?

[googoogagmouth]

not the greatest acting I've even seen

[kafka4u]

I have to adjust my dark monitor. Is yoko "performing" orally on Sean in the darkness? Is Sean's friendly fire going down Yoko's throat?

[ant1ph0n]

why don't you look up the clip of him on letterman and then ask yourself about friendly fire again.

[tracedbyflame]

Well, he doesn't have his looks and voice like Julian, but I think he can hold his own

[seop]

we never do

[autodestrutiva]

Sean's great :)

[dulixp]

i love you sean

[barbaravkci1994]

he sounds like gay .. he doesn't know sing,,, but yoko pushed him ...

julian much better

[WanagiAkicita]

Julian will be asking Sean for money.

[LoveScottDraft]

where is travis draft? hes like the modern day waldo.

[neadysamurai]

What? lol

[astrophon]

Is that a serious question? lol

[xakestar]

omg he sounds so much like elliott smith!

[fanaiva]

his songs pierce my heart....the man's beyond awesome.

[djs61909]

not bad!

[Leesherz4]

i love his voice. . . stop talkn' shit

[baddogseven]

hey im sorry but the mother fucker cant sing.

[Dreed122]

Julian is way better.

[Juggaloogy]

not many people CAN sing in accoustic. Dont be a jerk.

[spudmustang]

I liked this video. I can relate to it. It records the prelude to what I like to call a "Jerry Springer Moment." It's a good thing that it ended before the screaming, hair-pulling and chair-throwing started.

[bugsycline]

I sure miss John Lennon.

some one whom wishes there was just One more Lennon/McCartney masterpeice.

[p4uli0]

1. Sean Lennon looks like his dad, cos its his dad, just like I look like my dad.

2. he sounds like his dad, in the same way as i sound like my dad.

its not rocket science is it? its not like he's trying to copy his dads music, or his dads legacy, its just simply the music he's grown up with and the influences he's loved throughout his life.

No-one agree? well i'm talking.... rubbish then?

[markusparanoid]

im start to cry....... snif snif..

[Juggaloogy]

I agree with you. He sings about what he knows.. what he's been through. So its not puppies and rainbows.

[PAULLONDEN]

Why could'nt he first try, some decent

rock'n'roll,the guy is too introspective

for his age.(in my humble opinion)

[Emokid818]

I <3 this song, it reminds me of his dad john lennon

wicked video <3

[beatlegal4eva]

why?

it shudnt remind u of him

well ok he sounds like him but i mean sean doesnt want 2 b told he sounds and luks like his dad ll the time

and i mean who doesnt sound and look a little like their dad

i do, so?

this song is about his girlfriend cheating on him

not his dad!

[kamesan]

Sean Lennon sounds decent if I think along the lines of an Anime OST. However after hearing enough Beatles/Lennon, it seems like the 'Frank Sinatra' effect where the son imitates the sound of the father.

[MaxRadio]

Isn't Sean gonna be in a movie?? "Coin Locker Babies", I think (based on one of my favorite books). I've also heard that the only music in it'll be the songs on 'Friendly Fire'.

[squyres]

Sean is a beautiful soul --like his dad !! Peace/Love  John is very proud !!

[xtrait2lux]

cette chanson me viens souvent en tete quand je suis pas bien lol mais bon elle est si magnifique

[immortalmuffinz]

Anyone notice how greendayfreeko is commenting on every one of these videos, and makeing a fool of himself? Quite humorous.
