@iluvafalloutboy Exactly! If you listen to the lyrics closely, it's the kind of words John would say to him. Some of the words that stayed with me like "I was wrong to deny your feelings and I'm sorry that I caused you pain."

Thinking back to Mr. Holland's Opus, I'm glad that Glen finally realized how he needed to be a better father to Cole and showed that he did in fact love him. I can't help but think of a similar thing John would've done with Julian had he lived a little longer. :,( Sorry.

Shockingly, I admire some of the photos. I love the ones at 1:28, 1:47, 2:03, 2:22, 3:07, 3:14, and I especially LOVE 3:26. When I first heard this song, I thought it was John singing. Wow. Julian is DEFINETLY is his father's son. This song makes me cry. Obviously the movie, and John and Julian. For some strange reason, even though this is Julian singing, I feel as if it's John that would write this type of song for him to express his regret of neglecting him and that he loves him.

@otochari I think you're right on every account on what happened to him the late 60s. If he had gotten help for his drug problem and possible mental illness, he might have started to become more of his own person, make amends with those he hurt, and maybe even still alive today.

@otochari Wow. Btw if I may add, I could be wrong about this but I heard that John possibly could've already had some sort of mental illness(maybe bipolar or depression as you stated), and the drugs only made that much worse for him. He also had a lot of insecurities(ex. his weight, past, etc.). He had the symptoms of someone who may have been mentally unstable and such. He was an ultra talented musician yet severely troubled.

Love all the great pictures & of course Love the Song by Julian but this makes me sad

@iluvafalloutboy Same here. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that something isn't right with Yoko Ono. I always thought that she was weird but I now know that she's a manipulative, cruel, leecherous fool.

[iluvafalloutboy]

@Gabreya Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with Yoko. I mean, I am happy that John appeared to be happy with her because I love him to pieces. Haha, but yeahhhhh. I hate her.

[Gabreya]

@iluvafalloutboy Unfortunately yes. SHE IS A TOTAL BITCH! Her mistreatment of others over the years never cease to amaze me. I just NEVER understood why she was so cruel towards John's colleagues, friends, and especially family. I forgotten to mention that when Julian had released his album "Photograph Smile", she had wrote to all of the record companies, trying to stop the album's release because Sean is also releasing an album to no avail. Seriously. What the hell is wrong with her?

[Gabreya]

@iluvafalloutboy Sorry about the mistake I made. I meant to say Christmas 1980! NOT 1981. 1981 is the year that was suppose to the year that John finally starts to "live again" if you know what I mean.

[iluvafalloutboy]

@Gabreya Yoko is such a bitch. omfg

[Gabreya]

@iluvafalloutboy I meant to say 'seen' in between 'she' and 'photographed' instead of scene. Sorry about the mistake. Lol! ;)

[Gabreya]

@iluvafalloutboy Yeah. It took him years to find his letter. Sometime after John's death, once he found about the letter, he asked Yoko for it and she simply said "No." What's worse was that he was cut out of John's will by Yoko to which started a lawsuit battle that lasted, I think, 18 years. He gets $100, 000 a month from his father's estate which is absurd. Well, way more than absurd. Insanely asinine. Julian is John's flesh'n'blood and I don't think John would appreciate what she's done.
