John Lennon, no hay mas que decir, eres un genio

[gelrei26]

[newsleaker1]

this song sends a shiver down my spine

[rogeriodeoliveiramon]

[pgm12361]

@rogeriodeoliveiramon *FOREVER ALONE DETECTED*

[pgm12361]

John you had us

But we never had you...

[IFeelFine2011]

John Lennon 1940 - 1980

[sukideni]

Mumma te iubesc si intotdeauna va xxx

[palpatine17]

Love that he's singing while chewing gum. :D

[pgm12361]

Mother you had me,but i never had you.

Fucking Awesome.

[MacWillyFortunes]

@luxo772 Nobody cares. I cannot stand these comments. By constantly mentioning Justin Bieber on Lennon and Beatles videos, you're suggesting that there's acomparison. I doubt even Bieber's fans think there is...I've never even heard any of the kid's songs. I don't know why you have, or why you let it bother you. Just leave everyone else alone, and stop pretending like people care what you've got to say*.

*I understand the contradictory nature of this sentence and my comment's tone, but oh well.

[luxo772]

@MacWillyFortunes I totally agree. I posted that comment on 2 videos before i realized how stupid and senseless it was. It doesn't really bothers me. I'd like him, and a lot of other artist to get more noticed but well. Couldn't be less important, i guess.

And yeah, your comment is pretty contradictory... mind your own business?

[MacWillyFortunes]

@luxo772 Mind my own business? You're the one bringing Justin Bieber into a completely unrelated video...

Nobody thinks you're cool. You're not "counter-culture". You're just as much of a conformist as all the six-year olds who like the Disney Channel. More-so, in fact. You know if you liked Justin Bieber you'd be run out of town. Just shut up and listen to the music you like.

Nobody cares about you. Nobody wants Bieber or Gaga anywhere near The Beatles except YOU. It's terrible.

[luxo772]

@MacWillyFortunes And that is your business cause... ?No one else has written to me saying what you're saying and i wouldn't care if they did. You didn't get my point, anyway, i'm saying I AGREE WITH YOU it was stupid to say anything about jb in this video and i didn't realize until i posted it twice and i started to think about it. My mystake, not that you should care "i don't understand why you let it bother you?"

What i was saying, is that is not the way man. Really.

[luxo772]

@MacWillyFortunes And i don't care about... being cool? I don't even know what counter-culture is and i don't give a sh*t about what do you think of me, if i'm a conformist to you or i like disney channel (i don't even watch tv man, and i only have 10 or 12 channels, the nationals, i'm chilean)

And if you don't care about me, good for you? xD peace dude

[5jays5]

@luxo772 Yeahhh lets help John, he'd fucking love that wouldn't he woooooooooooo

[bechize]

Dont say anything bad about a person who cannot defend him self anymore. He was a ok guy and he lived his live like the rest of us - biside that he created some of the best music ever made. Take that kids

[gildeivisk8]

excelente cantante...!

[InsightWisdom]

Did anyone here ever read Sean Lennon's account of how John Lennon treated him? He treated his son like NOTHING. Did anyone here read Cynthia Lennon's book about how he treated her? Um...he wasn't exactly a feminist, folks, sorry.

He was a sanctimonious clown.

[undudster]

@InsightWisdom So what? I'm here to enjoy his music only. Nothing else.

[Eels88ya]

@InsightWisdom So that means his music isn't great? WTF's your point, you could be a fuckin rapist but doesn't matter cause you can't write music.

[TheKiwiKnight]

Shigesato Itoi and John Lennon should really hang out some time

[kozmicblues14]

lol @ " Since I left The Rolling Stones"

[xmotoFF]

this song is pure emotion

[billystar2000]

Mark Chapman should of got the death penalty!!!!

[weirdperson2468]

what the hell 6 dislikes how is that possible

[TheL0ND0N]

Only John Lennon can eat a gum during a show!

[asrotties]

@TheL0ND0N Right? lol He is even chewing it between singing lines. lol LOVE IT!! I love the casual approach to music. Not all the drama we have now days. Simple, to the point and remembered by millions for a lifetime.

[TheL0ND0N]

@asrotties You misunderstood me D: I meant that only John Lennon is so chill and powerful that he can eat a gum and still sing perfectly same time!

[asrotties]

@TheL0ND0N No, I got it just like that. ha ha Pretty much what I said too.

[nettows]

6 people are a motherfucker

[MacWillyFortunes]

@nettows That makes sense.

[MrGuitarHurricane]

@nettows John was all about freedom of speech...He would of supported people who disliked just as much as he would those who liked...such as myself

[Zedisch]

each generation has it's own style. My Generation was John Lennon, Judy Collins, Jeanis Joplin and so on. But: if our childs like other music: it's ok! Maybe they find back to the real music.If not - sorry about it. But they have to go there own way. So - let them go. Until then: let us enjoy the music from John Lennon! Thank you!!

[nascimentoacacio]

Congratulaions

[wishIdpaidattention]

Parents are no wiser than ones'selves mostly, just born a couple of decades afore you. Forgive them if they offend you or if you think they are dancing in the dark...children can show the way if they believe truth and love is the answer.

[JimmysRules]

I'm 13 and I was almost always boldly to my mother and I want to change because I'm still happy as I Syuds a mother

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

And I do love how John is always chewing his gum--from way back in the Beatles' times and vids, too!

...then again, I'd like it if John came and kicked me inna ding-ding (okay no but... it'd beat some days, by a LOT!).

<3!!! !! !

[deku8989]

this makes me feel bad about how I take my mother for granted

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

@deku8989

Yes. It's hard. I did, too, now she's gone, bam--eight and a half-plus years, now.

You might've already come far in already thinking about this, and typing it...

Makes me smile... gives me hope that you'll get every bit of love from Mom (& Dad) that you can, while you can.

(Sometimes it's us kids that go first... she needs all your love *now*, too.)

Think of funny or cool things about Mom for me, will you? and tell her... I don't know, I'm glad she's there for you, or something.

<3.

[miss9starr7]

it's unavoidable... we become our parents.

[cocoacutie3338]

That note at 4:06 was awesome

[nimitz1983]

I love 1:10-1:20. Its always great to see one of your hero's having a human moment..  You can see this was a very honest song written from the mans heart.

[santoritime0]

@nimitz1983 actually, i was noticing that, and i thought he sort of tiwtched his head just because he hit that note very poorly: "so haa", and hes like shit, im underperforming. he probably played this far to many times to get emotional about it. It was just my impression, doesnt mean anything.

[anibalnikov47]

lol since i left the rolling stones xD

[ejah352]

this song is very boring i dont like this song alot i ;love imAGINE more.

[darthbony]

@ejah352

IT IS NOT BORING, IS ABOUT TO RELEASE HIS FEELINGS, IF IT IS BORING FOR YOU MEANS

 YOU DONT HAVE FEELINGS

[bobverty]

a little hypocrite from john reclaiming to his father when he left julian... still a great musician and i still love his music

[norrtaljekille]

John Lennon was an arsehole. I love his music, but god - what a prick! He treated his mother with disdain and she loved him and treated him well.

The cunt.

[johnlennon1110]

@norrtaljekille wow ok dude you seriously need to check yourself cause that is not true. he did love her but she was whore and did not want him and shye didnt treat him that well! she abandond him when he was 5 years old and he had to live with his aunt cause his mom didnt want the respnosibility of raising a child. Also he didnt treat his mother with disdain he loved her and wanted her to be in his life. So I think you need to check your facts again cause what you said is not at all true.

[elizajohn5]

@johnlennon1110 i absolutely idolize lennon, but dont castigate johns mother, john did the very same thing to his son julian. and julian carries those scars to this very day. sad but true.

[johnlennon1110]

@elizajohn5 ya im so sure you idolize him by calling him a prick. the reason john lennon did what he did to julian was because his mother messed him up not because he was a prick. john lennon was scared worse then julian cause at least julian has someone who loves him in his life.

[elizajohn5]

@johnlennon1110 where did i call my hero a prick? my point is why should someone criticise johns mother ,when john himself went on and excluded his own son julian from his life. julian still carries the scars to this very day. the beatles are my fav group of all time, lennon is my hero, but im not naive enough to realise john wasnt perferct and duly stated this fact.

[TheJonesy9988]

When I die, I better meet him

[casperld]

I heard this on the radio recently. At the end when he is screaming Daddy come home, in an instant I imagined my own son singing this and the pain it would cuase if i left him, not that I would or anything but just for a second I thought of Lennons voice as my son singing it...........and I wept openly like a baby, thats how powerful this song is.

[somebodyhateyou]

LENNON...you leave us

[Zedisch]

his song expressed the emotions of his generation! And he expressed the emotions of my generation, too! There was the mother, but she want to leave. There was the father, but he really wasn't there. - Thank you, John, for this song

[onepoet63]

Simply Beautiful........peace and love

[Bualadhcraicinn]

Would bring a tear to a glass eye. Rest In Peace dear John.

[mccartney2011]

You know what I think? I think that the repetitive drum part throughout the song symbolises the constant agony about his parents that Lennon felt. Think about it for a second, if you will. You'll see what I mean.

[diperrimax]

i love lennon

[TTAvatar]

i bet julian agrees with this song

[ravrik]

@TTAvatar Yeah - that's a very good observation. Looking at all the things that have been written and said about John Lennon, it's ironic that he was not a very good parent to Julian! Having said that, there's an element of genius in this song - so simple yet effective and this live version seems better than the recorded one.

[Zedisch]

he gave all his emotions in this song. And not just for him: when I was in in younger age, I heard this song and it made me cry because I felt the same: lonesome.

[Sneakerpimp5]

really sad for two reasons:

1. true story

2. think of Julian Lennon :((

[ritatary]

how he can sing that without crying..?

[TheBunburyna]

john tu madre esta muy orgullosa de ti porque de lo que habla tus hermosas canciones es de tu amor a la vida lennon parasiempre

[CutePoison92]

shivers.. John, miss you.

[elianaolaia]

John your mother loved you for this song that made for her!!!!!

[adaymify]

always a left to right....

hello

goodbye

[tonyrosam]

open-heart musician.

[sekelcanlove]

de que año es este video , gracias exelente video

[deltasquadftw]

I almost cried at this.

Since this is live it gives more of a punch of emotion

Goodbye John, Goodbye George.

I love your music and I hope we can just imagine what the world would be like if you were still here.

We miss you so much!

[edisdead1]

Dya reckon that 3rd verse is about him leaving julian behind.

[JossePsychedelic]

Ilove this song!

[miss9starr7]

Dear John,

I can hear and feel the pain in this song..

your music has lasted for nearly 50 years.

You're a genius.

The love of my life (I may only be 17 but I know what love is)

And you've saved so many people <3

[zairaalfano]

we miss u john!! 1940- 1980

[DarkSedgie]

Miss you John... Peace...

[AK68MK00MK02]

Deine Musik kann uns niemand nehmen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[julian1775]

RIP, John. We miss you.

[SirBrianCabrera]

i wish john lennon gave birth to me!

[cosmosticality]

@SirBrianCabrera he's not a woman though so how would that work :P :L

[jcsasnak]

John is absolutely cool, I'm sorry. If you don't know cool when you see it it's a shame.

[BlackNorwegianMetal]

this song explains my relationship with my parents :(

R.I.P John Lennon We All Love You and Miss You Dearly.

[kolsyra100]

love you John. 

[billy1947able]

He is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!!

[GeorgeJohnRingoPaul]

such a genius, so bad parents... R.I.P. John

[John91040]

I love you John!!!

[cristianpinter]

I HAVE LIVED WITH YOUR MUSIC, GROW UP .... MOTHER IS SOMETHING HOLY FOR ME ....

CRISTIAN PINTER

[redlipstick94]

Chills. Just Chills

[Spiritnoiresque]

My mother failed to love me, and my father left when I was very young, so I know the desolate feelings all too well...be at Peace John, we miss you

[Bigboss1432Lol]

I always get teary when I hear the part about his Father because my Father just....disappeared from my life. One moment he was here. the next he was gone. I needed him but I guess he didn't need me...

[hopesignals]

i said to one of his high school friends.. (as Beatle-hood took hold and them far away from the sane life)...that made things hard for people to deal with them leaving life in Liverpool and life like all of us usually can handle.. that it was the job This Job of making music messages that pushed him from the friendships and the things like drugs and business pulled him out away from them. Anyway the parent thing went for him/he expressed the hardest edge of it to make us think no matter hislf.

[DoggyMister]

Wish he was with us all (thumbs up for Lennon (y) )

[ninetales00]

So im 15, and my parents are...difficult. i came home today after dealing with things nobody should deal with and watched this. When he said "This is true for 99% of parents aswell" i burst into tears with reassurance. thank you john, thank you so much.

[botoxbabe1]

this touches a nerve!

[necrogauge]

I think this performance would have better without the drums.

[Daniloman2908]

@necrogauge I don't know, i don't think so, maybe gotta try, but i don't think so

[Flodder450]

the maker of earthbound based the story of earthbound on this song :P

[pickeldys]

++++ Er ist genial und ein Ideallist der einzigartig war ++++ He is a Genius !! RIP John you are now in a better World.........

[maaary123]

aw, this song makes me sad :(

but his voice is so powerful and expressionate, i love you john.

[maurex98]

Lennon saied to his mother

Why god dont make me like Elvis?

Julia said

Because she was waiting for John Lennon.

[IGVtv1]

@maurex98 nowher boy ?

[Roystothecoolkid]

@IGVtv1 yeah

[LitLBirdLitLBird]

@maurex98 I hope that is a true story!--I adore it. :)

<3.

[VideoByPatrick]

Paul , what were you thing ???????

[hazelcastle]

One of my favourites.

[Gia90000]

Awe...This is so beautiful

[krissie660]

I've never heard it live before. Thank you for sharing and heartily greetings from Poland.

[foundy11]

we will always love you jonn lennon. your always in our hearts. god bless you.

[dunoon1954]

I wonder if John thought about Jullian in this song

[MYSMEGS]

@dunoon1954 listen to what he says b4 the song course he thinks of julian hes saying at the end children dont do what i have donr coz he done the same as what was done to him by his parents as what he done to julian rip lennon hero

[jewell49707]

Great

[Isis7585]

just one of the lads from round our way!!! haha

[sportydude16]

brings tears 2 my eyes

[Nyse102]

we played this at my aunts funeral so sad

[gweijai]

Great song but I wonder whether Julian even crossed his mind once while he sang it.

Oh and could he not have at least blown one bubble with that gum ?

[whtsavai]

you know what..julian was probably the only thing he thought about while he sang it..

[davies3uk]

@gweijai you dont have to be a like a mum to be a good dad u no

[juan2010capo]

genial tema, uno de mis preferidos!! RIP John

[HuckleberrySlim]

I have felt small moments where it felt like I didn't have a place to relax and breathe, with eyes on me all the time, and I think he must have felt like that pretty much all the time. Or like if you don't give your best answer, you'll be completely misinterpreted. I recognize that side of him like looking in a mirror. The fact that everybody recognizes one of their vulnerable sides in him says a lot to why he's so loved. He was where the action was at in a very big way. It can't be helped.

[deerfieldproductions]

Don't think it, just sit back and enjoy.

[Mr02shadow]

Still missing you John

[queenrosered]

Trying to compare John Lennon to MJ or anyone is futile.John was definitely his own person and a true genius. And as flawed as he may have been at times, he was working on being a better person...not a pedophile like SOME artist! RIP John!

[MYSMEGS]

pure deep emotions from john inthis live version

no one could ever compare to lennon praise be yoho if it wernt for her we wouldnt have beautiful msolo music from john and the others if she never so called split them up.

[solcit8]

beautiful!!!!!! One notices that he sings it with very much feeling....

[rareu4532]

I think John Lennon is mor famous then MJ is They was very good Artist, but john was one steep better...

[zoeebuckley]

@rareu4532 john lennon is a million times better. MJ can step down

[gqtaste]

The best of the best. Only person came close was Cobain but still doesn't hold a candle to this once in a lifetime 'artists.'

[bitchymcgill]

I don't understand why there are so many negative comments on all of these videos...today is a day to mourn him and love him not fight with each other about how to learn about him. Makes no sense to me. Rest in peace, John...loves

[flavionete]

simpresmente a melhor music de todos os tempos,grande genio

[pureaggression]

besides his great musical talent and limitless creativity, john was a real asshole... if you read about the things hes done and said.. a real egotistical dick head... nonetheless a great great great musician and performer and entertainer

[IpCrackle]

LOL so true... So admirable as a musician, so... otherwise, as a person. Though probably not to the extent Michael Jackson was, eh?

[Obeijin]

John was a troubled man, Jackson was a nut case,

[albuorkka]

yeah he was,especially when he was younger. fortunately that doesnt have to affect to his music

[elizajohn5]

dont believe everything you read.

[pureaggression]

like everything i read that you have to say

[Nohname1]

I feel it's wrong for people to put him up on a pedestal although he was a genius in his own right. He was a human being who was trying to get his shit together.There have been plenty of interviews and recorded bits from the last 10 years or so of his life where I have heard him point out that he was flawed and working on being a better person. I see as someone who was set on a path, not of his choosing trying to find his way home like the rest of us.

[mom2huskies]

John don't go :(

[elenacute22]

Mark Chapman, the only thing you managed by shooting and killing John Lennon is to make him more alive through his music that courses through our ears....

RIP John, everyone loved you, everyone Imagined a better world with your songs. :'(

[giligara30492]

What a wonderful performance. Just amazing,

"When I left the Rolling Stones" - Oh, John, you silly goose! Lolz...

[xyoli54x]

what a beautiful song

[henrymetal15]

my favorite fom his songs wish he could still be here

[WiltatKansas]

Your mother would be proud of you John.

[blackicebill96]

@WiltatKansas there together now so dont you worry bout that mate :) RIP John Lennon,Julia Lennon and George Harrison :( you people will be missed

[mammothcp]

poor john this song express his emotions

[spacemonky90]

...and we all wish you were here today to also show our generation of youth what music is all about...RIP

[msi435]

wow i teared up a little bit.

[BigAndo21]

PS - 4:48 is the shite.

[aquaphil87]

timtimfenian, get your facts straight before you call his parents shit. his dad left because of his job, sounds like john and his first son julian. And if it wasn't for his mom, he wouldve never played the guitar and we would be lost without him. His mom was the shit, really his aunt was fucking uptight and didn't want him any part of the music world, her exact words before he left his aunt's house to join the beatles was youll never make it playing the guitar and chapman is more than a cunt

[BigAndo21]

Pease man. Stop pooping out all the little tidbits you gleaned from interviews and TV documentaries and just shut the fuck up. You don't know any better than the guy you were arguing with.

THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE.

This is a video of a song. Meant to be enjoyed, not to have everyone pool there possibly right/wrong John Lennon information and argue about it.

[lasfinisimas]

So that's how things are??? cause I always thought that I could express my opinions

[aquaphil87]

I also read a book about john lennon's life, it was 851 pages and i pooped that info from the book. i just wanted to get his facts straight for him not argue lol, i enjoy the music probably more than you do if not, then the same, tripping on acid and listening to Sgt. Peppers is amazing, and getting high listening to plastic ono band while sitting in a pool drinking a beer with friends is amazing as well. i love the beatles more than lennon, but he is my favorite beatle and george is a close 2nd

[BigAndo21]

You enjoy his music more than I do? Haha ok.

Oh, and congrats on reading the big book.

[LesPaulization]

Your really ignorant.

Arguing about John Lennon are one of the ways to know about him and to enjoy it.

So don't comment, watch and listen to the video if that's what you were complaining about.

[BigAndo21]

First of all, if you're going to call someone ignorant you need to learn how to spell. Second, Listening to his music is one of the best ways to learn about him. Shut your mouth.

[LesPaulization]

Oh, so I spell wrong? I don't think so.

In your opinion it is. There's more than one way to learn about him, asswipe.

[BigAndo21]

You're/your.

Is/are

Simple stuff, now I'm done.

[LesPaulization]

That's not spelling, that's punctuation. o_o
