  • It made me cry when they talked about dying.

  • Oh my god that is the most adorable thing ever!!!

  • This is so cute love the way john is talking to sean

  • "When people melt. After they melt and the finish. And the melting and.....FINISHED *rapid breathing*"

    "Mmhmm?"

    This audio clip is so sweet and cute but that part just made me LAUGH AND LAUGH for about 10 seconds. The way he says....FINISHED.

  • So ridiculously sad and a little ironic that they had a conversation about Sean turning five and John turning fourty, and how John said "Don't rush it." That was probably the worst year of age Sean ever experienced and for John as well. So I hope they had a happy full year of being 4/39 together and didn't rush it.

  • @scarvesonguitars That's a great comment. Thanks for saying that. He did rise up to the occasion. He grew and changed as a person in a beautiful way. He really was a gorgeous person, wasn't he?

  • Awwwwwww!

  • 聞いていて涙が止まらなかったです。

  • Sean Lennon, one of the few good things Yoko Ono gave John Lennon.

  • ITS BRAK MY HEART

  • I hate that his father was taken away from him.

    FAR too soon.

  • "i love you too sweetheart." nawwww *tears*

  • Happy birthday.

  • "Happy Birthday John & Sean Lennon With Blessings!!!

  • ❥•.¸¸Happy Birthday John and Sean!!❥•.¸¸ ((ºJº)) ❥•.¸¸Oct 9 2011

  • 0:45 just warms my heart. This recording is just so precious. It's so sad that Sean had only five years to get to know his father.

  • this is so precious!

  • I wonder if Max has heard this.

  • @TheIntruders

    Max doesn't hear much of anything these days. He's dead. But I am sure that he heard it before he died.

  • @NeilFraudstrong

    Are you sure he died? I went onto Sean's twitter once, and he had a comment for a Max.

  • @nerdygrl647

    Yes. Sean's album Friendly Fire was inspired by Max's death (among other things). He died in a motorcycle accident.

  • @TheIntruders who's Max

  • @scarvesonguitars If John 'knew' about the mistakes he made, then why didn't he ever try to reconcile with Julian up until his death? Why did Julian still feel abandoned after Sean was born? John had no heart. He was a cold hearted man who NEVER learnt from his previous mistakes.

  • @choobuka

    But he did try to reconcile with Julian. Julian has said this on many occasions.

  • Lol " bugger is just an expression. Just like no way!" " ...yeah kinda like that"...

  • this brought me to tears.. how amazing it must be to be Sean and have these recordings, memories, etc. beautiful stuff

  • Is the Max they're talking about the same one that Bijou Philips cheated on Sean with?

  • This is soooo cuteeee!!

  • This is the cutest thing ever!!

  • I love this so cute john & sean, sharing the same birthdays adorable <3 "Beautiful boy" gets me all the time. "I can hardly wait to see you come of age"- I wish John, got to see his boys grow up. R.I.P

  • Such a beautiful little boy....hasn't turned out that well though; proof you shouldn't dote your children that extreme.

  • I think John would be very sad that he has to leave Sean like how his mother left him. Well, at least they had a great memory and Sean now could see his father's face every time he see his reflection : )

  • That would be so awesome to have a Beatle dad!

  • I had to laugh at Sean calling John a bugger. John got a good kick out of that as well.

    I think Julian understands that John had a bunch of things going on that made it very hard for him to be a great dad. It's no excuse, but the fact that John was an orphan himself, combined with the crazy fame and wild scene of those days, combined with the divorce, makes a really difficult situation. Also I think John saw Yoko in Sean and himself in Julian...which made it more difficult to look at Julian.

  • SO CUTE!

  • I love John and was so great to Sean a great dad to Sean but when I heard him say I love you too sweetheart it made me think how bad Julian might have wanted to hear those words and how bad he wanted to mean as much to John as Sean did...

  • @MrCraigary123 I'm sure John loved Julian just as much as Sean. Remember, Sean was a 4 year old. Julian was about 16 at the time, so John wasn't going to have audiotape of him having cute little discussions about birthdays with his son, but he was often on the phone with Julian talking about things Julian loved like motorcycles and girls and music. He was very young and immature when Julian was born, and the Beatles were taking off and sailing high throughout Jules' childhood, let's remember.

  • @lalalives yes you are completley right but i was saying i bet you know when julian was that age he wantded to hear that and imagine finding out your dad left you and and started a new family with a new son whom he wrote songs about and was a active part of seans life i feel bad for julian because he lost his father just as he was finally getting close to him.... peace and love

  • "you could be four and be as tall as me...well, not REALLY..." hahaha

  • @findemaxa13 Yeah, that was so cute. And Sean: "What are you a bugger?"

    John: "A bugger? Why do you say that" (slightly laughing)

    Sean: "...it's just an expression."

    Yeah, most 4 year old talk like that. Hello Sean, you little brilliant kid.

  • @lalalives I bet John was thinking "God, I have to stop cursing, it's rubbing off"

  • @lalalives He's John Lennon's kid. Of course he's a genious.

  • im not going to lie...when Sean told John he loved him, and John replied with "I love you too sweethear" I cried.

    God he was a great father to that little boy.

  • I know many of the songs and heard many stories about how EXTREME John Lennon was about everything.

    He only showed and voiced his cares and fears in song.... nothing radical or extreme there. Artists are doing it right now!

    In this clip, he is nothing more than a NORMAL, LOVING, NURTURING PARENT...

    I think he woulda liked to be remembered in this light.

  • "What are you, a bugger?" Lololol, what a cutie.

  • I love all these posts that seem to understand John Lennon's situation. He was a flawed man, but towards the end of his life he had really become a very different, more mature person. Julian was extremely important to him, and he loved him very much. But because of who he was and what his life was like when Julian was born, John couldn't be the father he probably wanted to. And still yet, he may not have been able to handle it until he had grown wiser and was able to embrace fatherhood.

  • @scarvesonguitars

    Excellent EXCELLENT post. I salute you.  Great post.

  • They're listening to "Within You Without You" from Sgt Pepper... How cool!

    You just have to listen reeaaallly closely lol

  • @promisedland89

    John and Sean were not actually listening to that song at the time this was recorded. This was a radio technique used on the Lost Lennon Tapes series as an attempt to cover up tape noise and stuff like that. Check out my video about Sean on his relationship with Julian. Real Love (the demo) is playing in the background. They call it a musical bed. Still, good ear!

  • @scarvesonguitars crap. lennon was a disgusting human being. you say he learned, really. Gee i wonder how julian Lennon felt when John Lennon felt the need to tell everyone who would listen and made sure it was in the press how much he loved Sean. Thats a disgusting man. So interested in his image that he screwed his older Son once again. Tired of the youtube nonesense talking about how great Lennon was. he was a piece of shit, who happend to be a good songwiter.period.

  • what a dear, sweet video. I love it when he said, “I love you too, sweetheart.” Just melts my heart.

  • @TheSpecialK56 tell me about it.. it melted me to the core.. so adorable

  • i wish he would do something like this with julian.

  • this is so adorable, he sounds so fatherly and sweet <3

  • This is really saddening.

  • I can't under Sean

  • this is on the John Lennon Anthology, so of course the whole Lennon family knows it exists including Yoko. there's nothing bad here- its an innocent conversation about their shared birthday showing how much Lennon had improved at being a father the second time around and how he really did care about Sean

  • This is one of the most adorable things I have ever heard. I can't even...Sean was the cutest. Dang, John had some frickin' adorable sons, period. What genes!

  • so so so so cute. :) :) :) :) :)

  • This is truly a powerful and humble thing to listen to....and then that announcer comes in and puts a cheap price on the whole thing.

  • @rockston11

    Yeah, that's Elliot "I'm a famewhore" Mintz for you.

  • This is the first JOhn Lennon video or audio I have heard where he acknowledges an existence of an after life when he tells Sean about when you are dead you are in the spirit world, like we talked about before, you don't see with these eyes, but you can see all around you. That's quite a change from what John has stated before in his word and lyrics. I always took John for an athiest.

  • @jnmiii John has talked about religion a bit before- he said he wasnt anti religion or trying to be rude about Jesus- he believed organized religion was mostly a scam (which it was in those days)- he believed people could believe in a religion in their own life, you dont need to go to church to be religious or believe in a faith.

  • He makes it sound so simple!

  • there is a lot of people commenting that john was a better dad to sean......but remember he was a lot older when sean was born. he was in his mid-thirties. when juilan was born he was only 21 or 22. now we all know we make better parents as we get older than we do in our early twenties. so give him a break. at least he married cynthia. he didnt abandon her.

  • @LadyScorpio39 i agree. i think he was trying to make up for his past bad job as a dad with julian. too bad he wasn't able to make it up to julian. i've always got the impression, that before he died, he was starting to make amends.

  • @LadyScorpio39 Age is just a number, dude. It's still no excuse to ABANDON your own child. Stop making excuses for John, because he certainly didn't deserve them!!

  • @choobuka

    ok julian! (lol)

  • @LadyScorpio39 I'm not Julian. And what I'm saying is just common sense. For someone who treated his own son like rubbish, he is certainly getting way too much recognition as a man of 'peace' and 'love'. John was a disgusting man.

  • This is so sweet! He was such a good dad to Sean.

  • thumbs up if you think Mark David Chapman is a bitch

  • MDC will be denied parole for three reasons... 1. The individuals that comprise the parole board were very aware of "who" John Lennon was and there is no way they would gift his killer freedom, 2. MDC would be killed within weeks of being paroled, 3. there would be huge political repercussions like the prison being surrounded by thousands of Lennon protestors, there would be no movement of staff in and out of the prison, or food and the media attention would rival that of the VietnamWar. FU MDC

  • 3:07 <3

  • my parents never really talked to me when i was little, this is so sweet!

  • i was reading some critics about mj's new album and i found this,posted by a man named sean .''Invincible is the kind of album that just haunts you. No other musician has been able to do that. Don't get me wrong, I loved John Lennon's music, but Michael was able to reach to the core of your being''.Can this be posted by sean lennon?is quite strange someone with the name sean to refer john lennon on a mj topic,no one said nothing about john to post this

    .

  • its sad cuz he didnt get too see his baby boy grow up =-( depressing..

  • Awww... Welling up.....

    I love how he struggles to explain things to his son. This is a birth control. I would have been soo angry.

  • I keep playing this entire video over and over and over again.

    its so adorable, but so sad .. "I love you too, sweetheart"

  • Im so sick and tired of the whole Julian/Sean debate. It really is nobody's business. John couldn't be around for Julian all the time, he was a Beatle for gods sake! and Cynthia knew that. I think being a "stay-at-home dad' for Sean was his way of compensating for it. Stop with all the hate and negativity, its really getting old.

  • "i love you to sweetheart" awwww that made me cry a little :/

  • I keep playing :40 - :48 over and over :')

  • i didn't know four year olds could speak so well!!!

  • Oh John....I guess you really have to be the parent to understand the gibberish of a child. I honestly got one word from each sentence Sean was saying. @ Neil Fraudstrong, I sure hope John did his best with Julian when he happened to be around. I kind of understand his intimidation when he reuinted with Julian after so many years; he had screwed up royally and didn't know how to fix it.

  • John was a very kind and sweet person! i luv him!

  • awwww john was such a sweety at all times on thhe inside

  • he sounds like he was a great dad

  • fuck you chapdass i hope you suffer 1000 deaths before going to hell!!!!

  • "Did they die after the melted?"

    NAWWWWW

    Haha, Sean...I love them both!!!

  • okokok

  • This audio tape has moved me deeply. I also have the same birthday in common. Happy Birthday to you both! RIP John

  • John, you love Yoko and Sean and we love you, Happy Birthday brother, PEACE

  • How sweet is that! :D

  • This is so personal. I wonder how Yoko feels about it being all over youtube? Weird.

  • @Philinspaces

    She probably wouldn't care since it was broadcast across the country on Westwood One radio as part of the Lost Lennon Tapes series.

  • @Philinspaces

    She would love it. She has a Twitter feed, you know.

  • @Philinspaces --who cares what that old bag feels ?

  • I wish John Lennon is my father.

  • Ok so... he tells Sean that when you die, you become a spirit. But he had also said once, quite a while before this that he believed in reincarnation. Just like sometimes he would claim he didn't believe in God, and sometimes he said he somewhat did. He had a hard time making his mind up, didn't he?

  • @PhantomKitty957

    Don't we all? Are you absolutely certain about everything?

  • @thedogwrangler Of course not, there is especially nothing more uncertain than beliefs of the afterlife, and religious concepts. Most people decide to believe in something however, and they don't change the way they believe like John Lennon did.

  • COME ON EVERYBODY & please do not go on about my caps I AM TO BUSY TO WORRY ABOUT MY GRAMMER yes this is sweet BUT HOW HURTFUL MUST IT HAVE BEEN FOR JULIAN stop right there YOU LENNON EGLOMANIACS john lennon PUT SALT ON THE WOUND by saying SEAN WAS PLANNED & JULIAN was because CYNTHIA was not taking the right pill NOMORE EXCUSES for JOHN he became a horrible angry person after he met ono

  • AWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! wow okay that didn't happen. I LOVE the way Sean says "oh"

  • I don't know who some of you people think you are judging John Lennon as a person. What kind of dogs sit at their computer and trash a man who lost everything. Especially after hearing this tape. Get your own family fixed first guys.

  • what are you, a bugger?

    Kind of like that....

  • "Oh...well i love you"

  • 3:02 is that paul?!

  • @Link71596 i think john's just yawning. haha

  • @Link71596 LOL but oh my God for a moment there I thought it was. I think John was doing an impression of Paul.. If Paul was there we might have heard him earlier- or throughout. Lol.

  • @Link71596 i think john was yawning

  • That exchange between father and son was precious...thanks for sharing!

  • i have the same birthday!!!!!!!

  • aww i love johns gentle voice and seans cute voice!

  • "did they die after they metled?" hahaa

    Seans voice is adorable. John is amazing. Why couldn't he stay 39 forever and the following december just never happened

    peace&love <3

  • What a great and cute picture. :)

  • Haha John was (at first like) yep they died.

  • This is so cute!

  • John is the ultimate poet.

  • "did they die after they melted" lol funny. god bless john and sean.

  • This is awesome. I just love to hear John's voice. I know, I know, he had his issues. But thanks so much for posting these audios. Great job!

  • wow can you imagine if Sean had been raised with John's wit, intelligence, and logic. One can only wonder.

  • this i so cute. it sucks that john died. he was like any other father. r.i.p. john

  • Sure he's warm and loving. But what about Julian. Seriously.

  • Julian deserved this. 

  • @Conrade90 Yes he did. Very much. It sounds hokey but, I pray that Julian will someday fully forgive John and get over all the things John did to him (or DIDN'T do) and be able to fully move on in life.

  • I love how he became a regular Dad...

  • I can't stop laughing, it's so cute!

  • This is so adorable and heartwrenching. :(

  • Damn man, what a tragedy. Rest in Peace John

  • I wonder if he ever explained to JULIAN about birthdays. Or anything.

  • @dontleademsomuch

    From what I understand, John was a good father to Julian when he was actually there. He was remote and intimidating, but when he was with May Pang he was more of a father. Still, it was awkward for both and it can be best described as a learning relationship. Neither Julian or John knew anything about each other and lived across an ocean from each other. It was probably very awkward for both.

  • @dontleademsomuch

    In some ways, sure he was. His attitude immediately following the breakup of The Beatles was pretty self indulgent and rude, but again I think that was his defense from the world and that he was, inside, a good man. He was psychologically ruined after his mother was killed. After that, his life was over in many respects.

  • @NeilFraudstrong I think he changed alot when sean was born

  • @dontleademsomuch john would be the first to agree with you i reckon,he had a lot of time to analize and understand himself ,time, that most people don't get.

  • @NeilFraudstrong Yea there was a interview Julian did about John, he said he didn't really respect him as a father or a person as much as he wanted to, mostly cause he was far away and when he saw him, John would verbally get angry and yell at Julian for enjoying life. I don't know what was wrong with John but I still love him.

  • @dontleademsomuch He wasn't ready to be a dad when Julian was born. He was young and it was right when Beatlemania started.

  • @dontleademsomuch There are quite of few photos of John with Julian (more so that with most celebs and their children) where are the photos of the other Beatles and their kids? Further, Julian got to appear on John's Walls and Bridges and Julian's got quite a bit of attention over the years because of his father. So it certainly hasn't hurt to have an icon as a father nor was John your absentee parent. I think it's safe to say if he wasn't related to John we wouldn't be talking about him.

  • @dontleademsomuch What a nasty comment. First of all it's none of your freakin business, John gave a lot of joy and inspiration to the world what have you done dontleademsomuch? How's your relationship with your mom/dad/wife/kid? John made a lot of people happy and that's no small thing. Have some character and show some respect. John life was magnificent, most come and go without doing anything. Are you being a jerk just to get some attention? Can't gain admiration by doing great things?

  • @scotty it's all thse flaws that make him more interesting and makes me like him MORE. i wish the lives of john lennon was all true,.

  • @dontleademsomuch hmph funny way to look at it, don't need to be that black and white about it jeez! John couldn't hang out with Julian when he was little because of you know, his Bealts career??

  • Sean sounds so cute....

    Thanks for sharing

  • Why just plain why??? How could someone kill that kind of caring person???

  • @Dave49566 He wasn't always caring, but meh, I dont care *COUGH* USERNAME *COUGH*

  • "That's how long a year is. 365 days."

    "Hmm... I love you."

    "I love you too, sweetheart."

    AW!! <33

  • @HeatherRawriee Aw that was so sweet

  • @HeatherRawriee i wonder if he ever said that to Julian

  • @HeatherRawriee Sobbing.

  • that was cute, that super sucks john didnt get to live longer

  • fucking mark david chapman

  • You can hear within you without you in the background

  • Please, please upload more if you've got it :)

  • i love it when Sean asks if the people who melted were dead after they melt and John replies "ohhh yes" as if it was a legitimate question.

  • ...now John, explain to him why he was born with such an awful mother!

  • @thegrinchl7 XD

  • aw how sweet. i wish i could have met john. he is an amazing man.

  • This breaks my heart, he is such a good dad.

  • @yellowsubmarineism He may have been to Sean, but surely wasn't to Julian. But still, he was an amazing person in many ways indeed.

  • omg, so sweet! thanks for posting this! john was so kind and gentle with him, ive never seen this side of john before. what a treat. thanks for posting this! where did you get it?

  • it would be weird having a japanese accent, an american accent and an english accent in the same house!

  • This is total proof that John Lennon was a TOTAL GENIUS!!

  • Well why didn't you told that to Julian, John?? xD

  • It's so sad to know that his 40th birthday was his last. I hate the guy that murdered him :(

  • ...this is so sad because......sean wouldnt get to see his fitht birthday or his dads 40th....at least with john....:''''''( i love john and it braks my heart.... but i mean i know sean was a start over for being a dad after jullian, but i mean i know how it feels to have a dad you bearly know die///

  • @jazvain

    Sean and John did celebrate their 5th and 40th birthdays together. John was murdered on December 8th, 1980, approximately two months after their birthdays.

  • @NeilFraudstrong two months and 1 day =(

  • @jazvain They wouldn't get to celebrate Sean's 5th christmas, but they did celebrate their birthdays together

  • @jazvain imagine how julian felt...

  • "What are you a bugger?"

    "A bugger...what?"

    "Bugger is just an expression just like No Way!"

    His wit was definitely passed on.

  • You say it's your birthday?

    Well...it's my birthday too.

    So what is it you fear?

    (morning comes. climb upon another cross.)

    Still acting out paranoia?

    With your crow-skins..with your rat's feet

    another year has passes. no response.

  • AAWWHH I love John's voice. So soothing.

    Oh my why does he tell Sean this creepy stuff about people melting?? haha

  • Have to be a dad to understand...too bad more are men don't understand moments like this.

  • This is so trippy....John and Sean first talks about their birthdays, the next year, when John turns 40 (the age when he dies). Then John and Sean talk about dying from the sun, John says " You're body dies, but your spirit is very much alive, in the spirit realm.." (referencing death and the afterlife)

  • This is such a great video. I love hearing John like this.

  • if only john had stayed 39!
