An abandoned son. Despite his circumstances, he turned out fine, level- headed, sensible,humble,classy. Credits to his mother's strengths.
So true!
Well said .
You can just hear him talking and answering questions that he is well grounded & really is his own person .
He is known longer walk in his
Dad’s shadow.
His mother & stepfather did a great job.
I’m very happy for him!💕
It's awesome how normal he is. You would never have thought he was a child celebrity. Credit to his mother.
He was not a child celebrity. He was the child OF a celebrity. Big difference. One is you in the limelight, the other is you are invisible because your famous parent sucks up all the light in the room.
Bist du nicht normal 🤔
Lg von Ellen ✌ ❤
Cyn was a true treasure! He and I share one thing, God’s greatest Blessing to us both was our Moms/Mums! God Bless Julian!

Everytime this guy speaks, he endears himself further. He is an amazing person..so honest and real.. He's far more than his father ever was..not maybe musically, but definitely as a wholesome man. He is a delight to listen to. You should be proud, Julian , of how you have grown up thru unimaginable pain and hardship.. you are a very special person.Thank you.
Hes the man john Never was!

Hats off to Julian Lennon....he's a credit to his Mother....his Dad was not good to him. Julian is gentle, kind hearted and well spoken. Kudos, Julian.
His dad had his own demons to deal with from the day he was born to the death of his mother & has often been said "he grew up tough & angry, but also gentle & vulnerable"
@@kymgrowden who cares? once you're a dad your child is your responsibility. fk your sob story. if john was a woman you wouldn't be synmpathetic.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Pffft don't preach to me Mr or Ms Perfect you've probably know very little about John Lennon GFY
It is not for the public to apply judgment in anyway, as we can never know all the elements at play. Don’t dogpile on someone else’s pain, or story.
Hello is that the Karma Police? There's an urgent incident cracking off on the comments box after an interview with the peace-making Julian Lennon. Help!
Such an intelligent well spoken man.
Julian Lennon oozes class. A credit to Cynthia. Great guy and a fantastic artist to boot.
What a thoroughly nice man. Very impressive.
Cynthia Lennon must have been a magical person, even although John treated her so abhorrently, she never ever criticised him ever. And he did deserve to be.
@@joegreen2750she did in the book she wrote about him
@@smallie210, 👍
@@smallie210 Yes but in a sympathetic way, not vindictivly.
He was blessed to have a mother who molded and guided her boy to become an strong, compassionate branch of herself.
Well done.
Absolutely, Julian made peace with Yoko that shows the great man he is
That’s so true, he’s a lovely young man so likeable, and down to earth.
Paul McCartney, on hearing John Lennon was "about to walk out the door" rushes over in the rain to comfort Julian and writes a song for him..... like we've always heard, Paul is extraordinarily kind. Julian seems such a talented and giving man.
Hello Patricia,
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
So much nicer than his father,. He has an emotional intelligence that John lacked. I love that he has found himself. I can't imagine how hard it was for him to carry the mantle of Julian, son of John. How could he do anything with his life with that association? It weighed very heavily on him for many years. He seems happy with it now, he has found his happy place and as a Beatle fan, I am truly happy for him too.
You know why that is? Julian had the love of a good woman, his lovely mother, Cynthia
He's also pretty much 20 years older than John lived to be. Hard to say how he would have matured over time.
Funny how growing up with love and support, and not becoming the biggest star in the world while still basically a kid will help shape a person. That and living past 40 years old
😂😂😂😂 you are a tool simple bet you're dad was not nice to you 😄😄
John lennon was a genius but he should never left Cynthia. I really don't like julian
Julian and his mother are absolute gems.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my music...
@@juliancharlesjohnlennon I loved your "Hunting of the Snark" at Royal Albert Hall. There is an Annotated version of the Snark by Martin Gardner who used to do the game/puzzle column for Scientific American. Caroll was a mathematician, too.
He exudes class and dignity in every aspect. I highly admire him.
This is a premium interview! The interviewer gave Julian the freedom to speak and only intervened to ask pointed, appropriate questions. So refreshing!
Krishnan is a top journalist. Great job
I don't think I have enjoyed an interview with Julian as much as I did with this one. Julian was allowed to be himself, and speak about things his way and not be forced into making statements that could be manipulated. There was no "fan-girling" or stupid comments by the interviewer and the interviewer was genuinely interested in the interview and the responses. He had obviously done his home work.
Julian spoke eloquently and delivered his replies in a way that continues to endear him to the world. He is a brilliant talent and his photography and music stand alone in their brilliance and individuality. I am glad that Julian has now found peace and calm with his past and continues to use those experiences to map out his future his way. Overall this is the best interview I have seen Julian give.
You can still hear the pain his father left behind...Julian is a stellar human. Thoughtful and sensitive. And talented in his own right. Bless you Julian.
John Lennon was an asshole child abuser. I am glad that Julian has adjusted very well. He's even morally better than his father was.
Isn't he? Well, he made it through the fire. l have to say it. after all of these years it is obvious to me, as a mother and grandmother, that Julian's mother, Yoko, was a stellar mother. She comes through when he is talking. You know, I feel good saying that. Julian is what all mothers hope that their sons will become... Kind, thoughtful, with inner strength, sensitive, pensive and still looking up into the starry night and asking, "What if?"
@@izzymatters297 Julian's mother is Cynthia, not Yoko. Cynthia did raise a good man. Yoko had an affair with John 🤷♀️
@@izzymatters297 Yoko is Sean's mother, not Julian's. Julian & Sean are half-brothers.
And yet he’s transcended the pain and come full circle. Good on him
Julian may be one of the most grounded and well-adjusted people of any child of any superstar. He's not a drug head, alcoholic, out of control imbecile. You don't hear or read bad stories about him. I credit that to Cynthia. She pretty much raised him herself under the most daunting circumstances, and he was always respectful to her and cared for her as should anyone with their Mom.
It had to be a heavy load being the son of one of the most loved stars of all time and the namesake of one of the most beloved songs in rock history.
Julian should begiving ted talks on how to behave as a child of a narcissist "superstar."
@@joshuasmarcus John was not a narcissist, he was a damaged human being who was under a microscope from quite young adulthood. Julian should be very proud of himself for what he has achieved individually. The children of the famous all have to deal with this kind of stuff. He has managed very well.
Very well stated. The in depth interview reveals Julian’s honesty, introspection and how well grounded he is … all admirable qualities, especially coming from someone who’s father was extraordinarily famous & talented with a lasting legacy.
@@lindyashford7744 well if you have parents with values like cynthia that doesn't happen. She was a lovely grounded human being ,i think if his was someone else you Now ,photograper ,model,etc someone else with no love and stability, but thanks to cyn for that
@@angelicaquirarte Believe me there are plenty of people who have nice grounded parents who nevertheless fall by the wayside one way or another, it is no guarantee. Also there are a lot of people who never had that at all, even though there are other good people in their lives.
It's a testament to the Beatles characters that all their children are good, decent, accomplished people.
💞
Mis-spelled "Beatles wives."
Paul McCartney. Wow. I’ve heard the story many times but to hear it come from Julian’s lips…just makes me think about what an exceptional person Paul is.
Paul is a good man ❤
Julian is a good man doing good things for others with his life and funds and talents. Glad you posted this interview because I never heard about him in USA or his music. He should set up an environmental and tribal peoples foundation many would willingly donate to these causes ( I'm old so your dad was10 plus years older than me but we were all big fans). I'm a scientist so sympathize with your causes.
Paul or Billy?
I don't admire many people but Julian is an exception he is down to earth talented and a credit to his wonderful mother
Bless him I love his records.
John Lennon was a fabulous musician and songwriter and had amazing ideas but Julian is the total package - he cares about people, the earth, the downtrodden, global warming, many issues we are facing and he is DOING something about these issues. What a caring, wonderful man he is as well as musically talented and an amazing photographer! thank you, "Jude' for all you do!
Julian is absolutely brilliant & he loves helping others. He has a good heart & a good soul. Just like HRH Diana THE Princess of Wales & John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jnr. Their goodness shines.
Were not facing global warming. Stop believing the lies
Julian is a good man. Not because (or in spite of) being John Lennon's son. But because he is Julian Lennon. Unique and honest. So glad i stumbled upon this wonderful interview. He is so much nicer than his dad it is good to be ordinary and down to earth and to be aware of our weaknesses and strengths and, even so, glad to be here and able to empathize with others. I go through dark depressions too. But hope springs eternal and listening to Julian, just now, did me a world of good. ❤
many years ago he lived near my mother and stepfather. My mom spoke very highly of him. I really wish I would have met him.
I love Julian, he's such a lovely, humble person brought up so well by Cynthia, his mother. John was a fool to not realise what a lovely family he had with Cynthia and Julian but as Julian has said, he's taken a 'sad song and made it better'. It's so nice to see him at peace with the past! He deserves so much happiness 💕 I named my little boy Jude because of the Beatles and because of Julian ♥️
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs...
I had thought of that when I was pregnant 24 years ago. I ended up going with a different name.
Julian has always come across as a gentle honest human.

It's nice meeting you here.
I had a wonderful opportunity to meet this lovely man. I was star-struck and physically could not say anything. He put his arm around me as my son tried to work the camera. I was so nervous. To calm my nerves and make me laugh, he stuck his finger in his nose! We all laughed, and no, my son did not get the shot! He was laughing way too hard. Love this guy. His music. His photography, his humanity.
Julian Lennon and his mum Cynthia were abandoned by a very famous father. To expect him to find his own name and identity will never happen, so he’s embraced this burden with so much grace. He’s John Lennons son and hope Paul and Ringo support him more. Love him and hope he just accepts the cynics
No doubt, he gets invited to some very cool parties!
Just came across this post and what can I say that hasn't already been said. Julian's mum Cynthia came across as such a gentle, caring and nurchering woman, a truly beautiful soul and Julian has inherited her same beautiful qualifies, he is a credit to his mum whose soul will always be around him. They were blessed to have each other.....
I love Julian in part because he has decided to adopt many of the ideals that his Dad did but without so much chaos, unhappiness and self destruction in his life. Bless you Julian for your music AND your humble and positive works in the world!
Julian, I can't begin to express the joy I felt when hearing you talk about feeling whole. Thanks for sharing that feeling with us, your fans. All the best to you, Jude!

Always loved the song, "Hey Jude'my favorite Beatles song!!
@@0otee As Julian's father's lyric goes in his song 'Isolation', mentally unwell people are '...not to blame, you're just a human...victim of the insane.' They really can't help it and so it's pointless to react/respond.

Nice to hear a "celeb" who can string more than two sentences together and can talk about something other than how wonderful they think they are or when their next record/film/book/TV appearance is out.
Now , that is a human , I would like having around ! So authentic and well spoken and kind ! Stay classy Julian !
What a well balanced man he has become despite all the pain he had to deal with. Losing his father the way he did, then having to live in his shadow for so long, before realising who he was and what had to give to the world. Credit to his Mum and others who supported him through his dark periods. Lovely to hear him so positive about where he is in his life now which sounds full and fulfilling.
Hearing Julian and all about him, 1st makes me sad for his childhood, but so proud of who he is now. God bless Julian for the man he’s become. Good for Julian. You keep doing you.
What an empathetic and honest person he seems to be. I love his music!
What a honest and sensible guy.
What a kind guy he is. And he's speech is clear, natural and at the same time you notice an intelligent, profound spirit.
He is amazing, so much talent. He is very smart. I can see where he would want to make his own career and not achieve things because his last name is Lennon. He has an amazing voice.
Julian is just so likeable and down to earth. Creative, talented. We appreciate you Julian.
I really admire Julian Lennon. He appears to be a very thoughtful, compassionate and grounded human being.
He has been treated badly over the years by the media and music industry. It must have been difficult living in his father's shadow, while carving out his own career and life. His father's second wife has a lot to answer for, by keeping Julian apart from his father's legacy.
Julian Lennon is a talented, visionary sincere person who deserved better from his father, the industry and the pernicious media.
I hope he has found peace.
😘+💝+👼+\m/+👼+💝+
We don't know the whole story. Deserved better from his father? It's a myth that his father was a terrible dad. I've seen hundreds of photos of John with Julian, including some with both of them in America including Yoko. John took him to the set of 'Happy Days', let Julian play drums on the 'Walls and Bridges' album, said 'hi Julian' in the 'Stand By Me' video, so he missed him alright. It didn't help that John was divorced from his first wife, so naturally you can't spend all your time with your son and being in another country didn't help either, especially with the immigration battles, but the bullshit that's evolved over time that John Lennon was a terrible dad is getting ridiculous ,..sure he wasn't perfect, few dads are, but Julian has done okay.
@@terrythekittieful it isn't a myth, but it is complicated
@@terrythekittieful You should succeed, in part, because of your parents. Not in spite of them.
Fell exactly the same way
I would absolutely LOVE to see Julian and Paul McCartney write at least ONE song together. Paul’s voice is not getting any better as he ages so time is of the essence.
One of the best interviews I've seen with Julien. A genuine person who has reconciled with his past and present.
What a compassionate human being! I always thought he was special, now I see just how special he truly is. He cares. His mother had a lot to do with the person that he is.
So true Cynthia was a very special Lady,
Yes,it's s very honest and heartfelt book I always remember the day Cynhis missed the train when they were all of to Was it Bangor ? For the Maharishi thing and I felt that she said to herself,this I'd not for me ,Thanks that she did,and what s lovely straight forward Person she created in Julian,Blessings
What a wonderful man Julien is! His parents are surely very proud of him. Though his father’s music was great, his son’s humanity is superior! He is truly an inspiration. May God bless him, always.🙏🏻💕
What a genuine, honest, open, and generous human being!! I feel like Julian is who he shows the world, without pretension or pretense, creative, caring, curious. His ”neophilia” - love of the new - is contagious I think. “What’s over the next hill, what’s around the next corner, what inspiration will it provide, what will I learn and share?” ❤
Julian is real. A real gentleman. Makes me happy to know he’s found peace.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs...
Julian is a fantastic person- so talented, kind and a son to be proud of. His parents created someone very special .
Dito
Talented , come on what way???
Parent. His parent, as in, his mother. His father supplied tuition, uniform and food. His *mother* raised this man.
@@celina8590 - What would you call selling millions of records, amongst a long list of achievements?
Credit to his mom only.
I have a lot of empathy for Julian and I understand the machine that was the Beatles. For his Dad to leave him must have been heartbreaking watching his relationship with Sean. I had the same type of thing with my Dad. You never really get over it.
Julian said he feels whole now. He has made peace within himself. Some people do find peace with such things. We can't change what happened, but we can change where that memory fits in our life. We can gain the broader understanding as an adult, that was not comprehendable as a child. We can fill the gaps that were left from childhood with self nurturing. When we learn who we are, separate from the false messages we were given, or interpreted, as children, we can learn to give ourselves emotionally what we need. Then the people who failed to meet those needs fade in power and consequence in the quality of our lives. The blackhole emptiness of lonely abandonment, sucking our energy, loses its power. The ache and sensitive bruise sting when touched, fades with this healing. Those memories fit differently, in a bigger weaving of life experiences, and people met, far beyond our childhood imagination.
Dependiendo de lo signifique para ti superar. Yo estoy segura que Julian no ha olvidado, pero aprendió a perdonar a su padre y eso se logra siendo empático con las circunstancias que rodearon la vida de Jhon, para perdonar hay que procurar comprender y no juzgar.
@@daniellamcgee4251..really well said ! Sooo true ! Thank you.❤🥰
@simoneu.nathaus7292 Thank you for letting me know my words meant something to you! 🥰 I believe it is the people with lived experience who express themselves in some form, such as words, art, music, dance, etc., who can resonate the deepest with other people with lived experience. I was told of my dad's suicide on my 9th birthday. My dad excelled as an actor, writer etc., but was a terrible father primarily due to childhood trauma, his manifestations of mental illnesses, and addiction. Unexpectedly, of all my relationships from childhood, that is the one I made peace with first. 💔 ❤️🩹 ❤️
What a lovely soul❤
Mom was everything! Wow, what a beautiful sentiment
Kudos to Cynthia !
Julian a very sencitive human being, very good muscician. He has many stories to tell, and became an artist of his own.
Can’t have been easy being Julian. His Mum was a quality person, did a good job of bringing him up. Great guy, talented too
It is very nice that Julian is in a happy place after having come to terms with all he has dealt with in his life.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs..
@@juliancharlesjohnlennon @Julian Charles John Lennon Quit scamming people. You are NOT Julian Lennon. I hope your karma hits fast and hard for tricking good people....
Saw a concert of his in 1984 in New York. It was the second night of a three night run. The first night was his birthday. My dad paid the tickets so me and a best friend could go and enjoy ourselves. Julian was fabulous. Soooo cute I wanted to take him home!!... Well, those days are long gone. He seems fully adjusted these days. God bless him.
I’m watching this interview about Julian ( the first baby beatle) , what a good, kind , good- hearted human being. Although he went thru a lot when he was young he’s accomplished so much and yes thank God first of all giving his mom the strength and all that she needed to raise her baby by herself what a wonderful mother she was? May she rest in peace. Truly an awesome, hard working , one of a kind mom. Julian is the example of having a beautiful , strong mother . Thank you Cynthia for your love , hardwork, and effort and sacrifice you made for your son.
A Thank you for your like.
He's not kidding when he says he's had a lot of fear. I saw him in concert when he put his first album out; it was really awkward and uncomfortable. I have never seen a performer that terrified in my life. You could feel his panic sitting in the audience and you just didn't know what to do, It was such a shame because I think he's really talented and it's the fear that's held back his career. Hopefully he's realized that nobody buys concert tickets and goes to a show because we wish the performer ill, God bless and good luck to him; I hope he crushes it with this album.
Not the Audience, but the music business, the media, the people who compared him to his father unfavorably, etc. He has grown into an admirable man.
He’s a really interesting guy. It’s good to hear that he’s found his path and is able to be himself both personally and artistically.

This guy... so human. I really admire him. A very credible person. I wish him the happiest life he can get. He deserves it. Credits to his mother, of course and to him, most of all, because he could easily go a "different way".
I have a lot of respect for Julian. I am so happy he's found himself, and he feels fine. God bless you Julian Lennon. Props to Krishnan for the great interview.
McCartney schooled Jules and the most of us with that quot "Hey Jude, dont make it bad, take a sad song and make it better." 💪
I've never understood Hey Jude and have never really been convinced that it was to comfort a seven year old boy. The lyrics seem far more to be about John and Yoko which is what John thought. I hate to think it but perhaps Paul was a bit intinimated by John - who expected everyone to be on his side after his horrible treatment of his family.
@@scoopeditor6564 I think Paul and Linda were getting together (and ended up getting married too) around the same time as John and yoko, so it could just as well have been about Paul finding the love of his life.
I can't imagine being the kid everyone wanted to be the extension of John. Well done, son, well done.
Wishing him all the best. You can hear the authenticity in his heart.
This has a good warm vibe.
I have always loved Julian's music and how
humble he remains. I appreciate how he uses his popularity and fame to good works. He is a passionate, sensitive and a beautiful human being
N thanks to mom...she was awesome
I am a 74 year old scoucer who lived blocks away from his dad, what a great son he produced, this interview was FAB !
It’s arguable that Cynthia produced Julian. John abandoned him.
He rarely saw his dad. Mom raised this great man. Dad was a sperm donor
@@OakwiseBecoming Abandoning him ? Paid for his private schooling, food and clothing.
Hardly ' abandoning'.
Julian mentions this.

I hate that some disturbed person decided to take this man’s father away. Julian is so talented in his own right.
CIA arranged apparently
@@claricestarling6510 Sadly, I believe this is true.
@@claricestarling6510I think John Lennon faked his death. Look up Clouseau on utube. John and Yoko are disguised behind Trump in VIP section.
That disturbed person did not take John from him. John himself did it when Julian was just a small child!
John and Yoko fell in love. Love is enough of a mystery. There is no need to embellish the story of life.
I just love Julian- he’s so well spoken, savvy, intelligent- I love his music and can’t wait to hear ‘Jude’ - it’s so great to hear he’s at this point in life -learning who he is and loving himself as he is, & letting the pain rest .. it’s great to see he’s found peace within - love you Julian 🥰✌️❤️
His album he done in the 80`s was soooo good. I was mesmerized by it....I never understand why Julian did not go on to become one of the greats.....

He’s such a cool and humble guy and so talented.

"Taking ownership of your identity". Wow what a wonderful way to put it. I'm dying to get this recording. I've known the story behind the song but it was nice hearing YOU relate it.

@@bonysminiatures3123 a person can find a new love, but to disrespect and behave in an atrocious manner towards the existing wife and mother of his child, is the problem.
Julia was so lucky to have Cynthia as a mom, particularly considering the way his famous dad wasn't in his life much.
As a child, I absolutely loved "Too Late for Goodbyes" & "Valotte." Actually now in my 40's, I still play them frequently.
My Mom was a Beatles fan & though I often heard them back then when she played the oldies station, I didn't realize the connection at the time... but I knew she adored Julian as well. It wasn't until my senior year of high school when "The Beatles Anthology" aired that I became a huge fan myself & finally realized the connection. I finally saw the strong resemblance, but even as a child always could tell Julian's sound was very distinct.
As an adult... who also had her spouse walk out on her & their very young son...so much of Cynthia & Julian's story brings me to tears & anger each time I hear because it is all too familiar. It made listening to my much loved "Fab 4" & John's solo song's almost impossible for quite a while. So I really respect how Julian is able to separate the man from the music/artist & still find that appreciation. I also really respect the person & mother Cynthia was. John may have left a huge musical legacy. However, in everything I have ever read & watched of Julian...including this interview...her legacy speaks VOLUMES in the wonderful man Julian appears to be. I was completely mesmerized by this interview & no doubt will be watching again & sharing. Thank you for posting this & thank you Julian for the music, the creativity & your heart for others.
Seems like Paul was more of a father to Julian than John was.
Paul is a good man ❤
All you can say is how lovely this guy is. He is a credit to his wonderful mother and I know wherever John is now, he is very, very proud of his son.
Julian, you are a great person, a true shining beacon of integrity and strength. You are doing well because of who you are not because of who your father was. You truly own who you are despite of your past.
Thanks for letting us catch up with Julian, the first Beatle baby, as you put it!
How wonderful!! Thank you so much. Julian has outdone his Dad! I’m sure he would be impressed by the man he has become!
Julian is a great artist and humanitarian. I so appreciate his straight forwardness in interviews.
Love him, he seems more relatable than his father and more humble.
All due to his wonderful mum.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs..

Julian is just an all around lovely man. ❤
Hello Christine,
How're you doing?
Thanks for all your love and support, also for being an amazing fan.
It's nice meeting you here.
I love his voice, could hear him talk all day long. You're a good guy, Julian!
An honest and wonderful person who has been through so many difficulties. I am thrilled he has found his path and is sharing his lovely music with us again.
Such a well-spoken man. Thoughtful and level-headed for all he's been through. And I've always loved his sound.
I think his mum made sure he got a good education. So glad his father paid for that, at least.♡
What a lovely guy, very grounded. Respect! ❤
Great interview ..... Julian is such a GOOD human being ln spite of all he's been through. I've always had enormous respect for Cynthia too
A wonderful interview. I could tell Julian was very comfortable with your interview. I'm glad for him that he's come into his own, and made peace.
So glad he’s feeling whole. I believe it shows. I, like so many, only wish him the best. A good person, all on his own.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs..
I did not know Julian Lennon has a new album. Thanks to this interview, I listened to it. Julian Lennon's new album is exactly the glorious music I KNEW he could produce. In the 80's, I kept waiting for his voice. Now, finally, his voice has made its reveal. I love the new album.
Same here! I had no idea.
His voice has been heard by many of us since "Valotte", actually.
I'm 70 years old, and yes, I am a huge Beatles fan. Julian, you and all the other children of the Beatles are the shining light. I can't tell you how moved I was watching and listening to you perform Imagine. With out a doubt, that song is my favorite of all time, over everything else, because of what it says. And you singing it just brought the words back into the present, which is good and magical. You do so much for all the planet. Thank you for caring. All the Blessings to you.
Yes, Paul felt sad for him because he was a kid and losing his father to divorce. So that sad story inspired the song. So the song is actually bitter sweet for him.

When Julian said “it’s taking a sad song and making it better” I burst into tears
@@natalyamartirosyan you sound an emotional wreck 🤨
I’ve been watching many of the promo interviews the Julian has done for his new album, JUDE, and this one is by far, the best. Julian seems very candid, relaxed, and at peace with himself here. I do hope he gets that visit in with Uncle Paul to hear the stories he has to tell him. I’m glad that he mentioned his depression, and his struggle to come through it. It gives hope and encouragement to those who struggle with it, (including myself), to see someone else who has had and/or is still dealing with it, to be so strong and positive. Thank you for that, Julian, and best of luck to you in this new chapter of your life. Thanks to Krishnan for being well prepared for this interview, and for letting the interviewee tell his story, and not cut him off like so many others tend to do - well done!
So powerful not letting what has happened to you in your life define you instead choosing to define who you are and your life
Best interview I've seen in a very, very, very long time. I'm speechless. I'm blown away. Julian is massive.
Thanks for your endless love and support, I'm forever grateful. I will love to create a warm atmosphere to know your opinions and thoughts about my songs...

John hasn’t left us ,if you listen to Julians voice you can still hear his dads monotones ever so slightly, beautiful men both of them.
I remember the first time I ever heard and saw the video Valotte. It stopped me dead in my tracks. I just sat there mesmerized by Julian's voice. At the time, I didn't even know who Julian was or that his dad was John Lennon. So it makes me happy that I fell in love with Julian's music with a sincere unbiased reaction. His mom Cynthia raised him to be an incredible person despite the trails they both had to overcome after John left. It also makes me super happy that he is so close to Sean Lennon. Many blessings to Julian and everyone during this time.
In spite of the issues with ms. Ono.
@@MomKimHub she is a horrible person. Ms ono.
Brilliant interview Julian shows us what a wonderfully well rounded generous soul he is surviving all that history as Himself 👏 I will follow up White Feather foundation and other points raised, thank you @JulianLennon best wishes and good luck with all your goals, peace and good health ✌
A charming man.
From struggling for love to a man who has conquered a time to become masterful.
Love Julian! ♥️
Julian Lennon has grown into a wonderful human being and in his own right has become famous for his own accomplishments. Both personally and professionally, you are a credit to your mother for being the man that you are and to both of your parents for the artist you are on the inside. I hope the meeting with "Uncle" Sir Paul comes to fruition for you as you may benefit from conversations with him. You are a very special man. Bless you.
