      You deserve it! I'm so proud of you and your work and can't wait for other people to see what I see. Having a gift whether it's art, courage, or power isn't ours to give away. Being an artist is a responsibility even if it gets difficult. Great Job!

    Bro John missed his mom dearly. As tough as he was, there's just no denying very deep down he had real love for those who meant something to him.

      My Grandmother ( on mom's side) always called me Julcha
      ( Which is Julia in Polish )...
      Do you think that she wanted my mom to name me Julia ?

    "Julia" the most endearing song of all time . Lyrics so enchanting and romantic that it makes one cry. I always wondered why Sir John was raised by Auntie Mimi! It is comforting that Julia was allowed to play a key role in his musical education. All the talent, playfulness, flair for costume spontaneity and most of al" love" originated with his gorgeous mother. It is no surprise that Yoko's creative spirit sparked the flame from within. Her art exhibit which was multi dimensional, prompted beloved Sir John to climb the ladder to find the word "yes" and embrace positivity and genuine happiness.The fact that "Sean" had the unique experience of being parented and cherished by someone as sensitive as "the late great John Lennon" makes us appreciate the treasures of nurturing.The fact that Yoko continued with her new role as the sole parent is a credit to her resiliency and character. Eventually love conquered the negativity with Sean,Yoko, Cynthia and John to a healing of souls and an awakening to forgiveness of what in the natural world would never happen.The two sons are stronger as a result and the world gains two gifted artists who carry on the legacy of an unforgettable man who started the journey with his soulmate Yoko to promote world peace in numerous international settings.Every family member matters and it is incredible that these two generous men keep his memory alive. I have so much gratitude for the cooperation and family bonding. Blessings forever.

      You can't even bring yourself to write Julian's name in your pretentious rant. Perhaps because John was an absolute prick to Cynthia and esp Julian? A terrible father figure just like his own dad, so much so that he ran away from his 'problem' escaping it instead of facing it, much like his own father did when he 'went to Sea'..

    I have felt that the "Ocean Child" live was about introducing Yoko to his mother through song. It certainly makes sense; "Ocean Child calls me..." It sounds like an introduction to me.
    I lost my mother young and I often wonder what it would be like to introduce my wife and children to her. I think that is what John was trying to do there.

    "Julia" was my go-to song when I lived in Los Angeles, a sad time without my closest friends from Oakland and San Francisco. I was living in a rent-by-the week hotel and was without a secure base to produce creative work. This examination of the song and its meaning in John's lonely childhood gave me great insight. Thank you.

  • @MrMarkstyles
    @MrMarkstyles 6 років тому +3

    This is a profound song, and many of John's songs were. He wasn't afraid to bare his soul to the world. I think these incidents, shaped and molded John into the artist he was. I like your comments a lot. very well thought out..

    The song displays some incredible talent and writing ability. John obviously had many of his father's looks and personality traits, plus similarly troubled childhood. Nice that John could channel all that into something most us can surely benefit from.

    Great video and nice explanation. Parents, in goog and bad, are the most important people in our life. Their education will form a large part of our character, even as adults. It doesn't matter if we're ordinary people or famous as John Lennon , it's the same for everyone.

I wish I would have known how truly astonishingly brilliant they were then. Thank you for all the insight! You've transported me back to my days of innocent youth!

    My mother and father met this guy named Norman Eddie Jones back in the day. He became one of their best friends. He made a CD for my mother when I was born with this song on it. My name, as you would've guessed, is Julia.
    When my heart breaks and I feel like I have no hope, I listen to this song, and it helps me.RIP Norman. The time he took to make this CD 22 years ago still means the world to me to this day.

    Ocean child calls me. I didn't know this lyric referred to Yoko Ono - but now that I do, I think you missed the obvious. Rather than a nod to nurturing motherhood ( which it sort of is ) - it's a call to his mother in heaven to inform her of his new love. Asking his mother for her blessing, which he knows she will give, and to let her know of this love and that he is happy.
    So he sings the song of love for Ju...lia. 🙏💜✨

    The love of a mother that keep him form his father so that she could throw him to the hands of her sister, and enjoy the idea of having a child without needing to have one. The love of a mother that convinced him that he was responsible for the rejection, even if it's clear that Julia's love was not firm. The love of a Mother that make him sleep with her lover in the same bed. What a nurturing love.

    Welcome back. Hope the holidays were great for you. But you got to find a way to stop taking long periods of time off. I told you how it makes me jones. It feels like months since I had my Hollyhobs fix. Maybe stock up a few videos in advance so when you take the time off you can still post once a week or something. You can't expect people like me to go that long without our medicine. I almost scratched a hole through my arm. lol
    In any case, great vid as usual. Nice new opening, and I went over and checked out As I Recall It. I liked it. So thanks for the heads up on some good music and a good video.
