I am really sorry to hear about your upbringing-probably makes this song hit twice as hard emotionally. Appreciate every response below that catches you up on his tragic, but brilliant life. As we know from these remarks John Lennon was assassinated outside his Dakota apartment on 12/8/80 as he and his wife Yoko Ono were coming back from having dinner. Just about killed everyone of us when we heard the news. All these years later, I still have limitless grief from this. Beatle George Harrison died of cancer in November of 2001. That leaves Beatle Paul McCartney and Beatle Ringo Starr left in the world as of the time of this note. The world has downsized to two remaining Beatles, and the world is poorer for it. Would totally support you continuing your Beatles journey. It would be a learning experience for all of us. Thank you for what you do man, with healing and bringing the world together through music. PS-great program. Really appreciated this.
HELL of a song to be introduced to Lennon. Wish this was the first song I heard by him. I would have cried harder than I did the first time I heard it, and I NEVER cry to music.
This is one of his most intense and emotional songs. You have to listen to more of his stuff to get the whole picture of hiw talented and amazing he was. We still miss him so!
This song had elements of “Primal Scream Therapy “ in which he release your rage in scream to get the poison of your pain out . This song will always hit those of us with damage- most of us
John was murdered Dec 1980 . His father abandoned him then his mother did the same giving him to a aunt. Just when they started to reconnect she died. . His song“ Working Class Hero “will definitely hit .
I suggested this song via a PayPal donation. Reliving pain through art is part of the healing process. Just trying to help. 😁Also: Was impressed by the way you spoke about your family background during the Black Pegasus thing. If other reaction channels had a fraction of your realness, I might still be watching them.
Really surprised you liked this. One of my favourite Lennon songs. The Beatles were amazing. Each were equally amazing solo. Just wish we had them all together still
Real shit - this is why I subscribe, John Lennon is one of the pioneers of music being part of the Beatles and he spoke on things the world was afraid to say but ready to embrace and he was killed for it, much like MLK and Malcom, he spoke on how big money wants war to stack their wallets while the people want peace and love. John Lennon had a hard life and this song captures that
John Lennon's father left him when he was 5 years old, a year after he had moved in with his Aunt Mimi (his mother's sister). So effectively from the age of 4 he was an orphan. John's mother Julia was killed in a car accident by a drunken police officer when John was 17. John was killed/shot dead by an obsessed fan in NYC, outside his apartment building (the Dakota) at the age of 40
Yeah that was a strange story when he got shot.. Something ain't right about it. Lennon's music spoke volumes and stepped on some big toes. Conspiracies Conspiracies
The official music video to John's song 'God' gives you a good idea of how much people were affected by his death. Elton John, who is also godfather to John's son Sean wrote a supremely moving and eloquent song 'Empty Garden'. Both worth checking out.
@MichelleShow David Chapman was the murderer (in 1980) and he is still in prison today. 44 years! How do murderers and rapists and pedos get out of prison in under 10 years? I guess this is a different discussion but damn. Not saying Chapman isn't where he should be, but how come so many other get off easy? Is it because Lennon was famous? Meh, anyway...
I listen to Mother this morning, when I saw the video thumbnail I was gonna comment you should react to this too. Glad you did, it's a beautiful song. This song actually inspired Headlights by Eminem too, you can hear it in the instrumental, both great songs.
John's mother was killed by a drunk driving off-duty police officer when John was 17 and was beginning to reconnect with her. His father left when 3-year-old John was forced to choose who he wanted to be with, his mother or his father. John initially chose his father then ran after his mother, leaving with her. His mother, Julia was a bit too wild and had John raised by her sister, John's Aunt Mimi who had a more stable life for a child's upbringing. His father reappeared when the Beatles were world famous and John was a bit wary about that. They reconnected, then fell out, and they were never close after that.
If you want to listen to John Lennon I suggest "how do you sleep?" It's like the first diss track ever written. John wrote it about Paul McCartney who he was in The Beatles with.
That is a dope idea for this channel! Only problem might be that many "bars" could go over Eugene's head, because they kinda presuppose knowledge of the Beatles. And in this video he for real asked what band John Lennon was in. 😆
@richtichwichtich lol no you're right. But think of the magic it would do for the comments section!!! Hahaha let's get everyone involved here. A lot of questions being answered
This dude suddenly MIA every time a project drops, I swear... C'mon, get your 3 reactions filmed for next week so we can spam you for the next 4 months to finish it.
@MichelleShow yea, sad day. The Japanese girl he's pictured with at the end of the video is his wife, Yoko Ono. She had her own band "Plastic Ono Band" that you mentioned.
"Working Class Hero" & "God" are also great. You should react at some point Lennon was a revolutionary in his own way. Just like Bob Marley and Tosh. He was always anti Establishment. His music stepped on big toes
@garyfletcher844 John was never in an orphanage. He was given to his Aunt Mimi by his mother. Mimi lived near the Salvation Army Orphanage, and John liked to explore their gardens, which were called Strawberry Fields. His father, Alfred and sister Edith, did spend years in an orphanage.
Also, did you know how many songs he sang that you will more than likely be familiar with ? You should check a few out since you liked this. -Happy Xmas (war is over) -Imagine -stand by me (my favourite version) -jealous guy
his Mom got knocked up by a sailor. She still wanted to party. He was raised by his Aunt, Julia. his mom died when he was a teen ager. His dad came around again once John was famous, in the Beatles, but didn't stick around. John got married to Cynthia, had a son Julian. He left them for Yoko Ono in his mid to late 20's. John was shot by a crazy fan in 1980.
John Lennon was murdered on December 8 1980 at the age of 40 in front of his apartment building by a deranged fan. He had a lot of pain and loss in his young life. He lived with his mother’s sister and her husband from about age 5. His father was not present in his life from a young age. He lived near his mother but didn’t see her much until he was a teenager. She was killed walking across the street when he was 17. The uncle he lived with had died of cancer about 3 years before that. His aunt Mimi survived John. He started the group that became the Beatles starting in 1957. They released their first record in 1962 and by 1964 they were the biggest act in the world. They broke up in 1970. Mother comes from the first album he released after the breakup. He has a wide variety of music he created solo and with the Beatles. My favorites include I am the Walrus, If I fell, Strawberry Fields Forever, Dear Prudence.
6:33 definitely not still alive. Got shot 3 times by a stalker fan in new York while he was going to the studio to record a song. Mark chapman wanted an autograph and I area’s decided to shoot him in the back. There’s a interesting documentary about it on TH-cam
John Lennon was murdered in New York City in December, 1980, by a deranged "fan"... His parents weren't married, and his father abandoned the family when he was very young... his mother was erratic, and her sister. John's Aunt Mimi, raised him so the children's aid society wouldn't take him.... he started to reconnect with his mother in his early teens, but then she was tragically killed when an off duty police officer who I think was drunk ran a car up on a sidewalk and killed her while she was at a bus stop waiting for a bus... John was the leader of the Beatles, and this song is from after the break up.. his most famous song after the breakup is called "Imagine"
His mother was killed by a drunk driver when John was a little boy , he was brought up by his Auntie and his father was pretty much absent for most of his life . John was shot dead outside his hotel in New York in December 1980 by a crazed fan called Mark Chapman
today was my uncle's bday and john lennon is his favorite. my mom who is his sister left when i was 4 so this hits close to home. they both had a shitty mom too so it's a vicious cycle.
John was murdered in 1980. His mother left when he was young and was raised by his aunt. Then later as a young teenager they reconnected only to have her suddenly killed run over by a taxi. His father only returned once John became famous, and of course wanted money. Paul McCartney's mother also died when he was a teenager, so they had that in common.
While making a mixtape (usb stick) for my nephew, I got re-acquainted with Canada's best rappers, have you heard them before? Don't worry, it's not Drake. I don't think you've reviewed them yet. They are called Swollen Members and you should check out a single from their first LP called 'Lady Venom'.
John Lennon got shot in the streets of New York by a guy whom he had previouslythat day, signed a copy of his album for. The Assassin saw him leave his apartment, and when he returned from the studio said"Mr Lennon Mr Lennon !!!" and shot in five times. Absolutely terrible.
NOW play John Lennon -“Working Class Hero” . John was murdered by a coward on December 8th 1980 shortly after his 40th birthday on October 9th . (Born in 1940 as Hitlers bombs fell on London . ) He has been gone longer than he was here now. I remember that moment in 1980 like it happened yesterday . 💔 I can’t begin to tell you about the walking contradiction that was John . I pray he found the peace he was so desperately looking for. RIP John 🤦♂️🎸🙏
John Lennon. was a AMAZING soul & killed by his crazy girlfriend Yoko Ono 💔 DO "Imagine" by him/Beatles!!!: they fire Side note they considered best ever & BTS has broke all their & MJ records 💯

If you gonna react to Lennon you gotta do, arguably his most famous song--"Imagine".
wtf i gotta look this story up
@MichelleShow yep. He died by a crazed fan. He never did outlived Jesus Christ.

The kill*r admitted later, much later. That he just did it for fame.
We lost this talent for that monster.
"Working Class Hero" & "God" are also great. You should react at some point
Lennon was a revolutionary in his own way. Just like Bob Marley and Tosh. He was always anti Establishment. His music stepped on big toes
He was shot to death in 1980. It's not a metaphor. He was in an orphanige and later lived with his aunt.
@garyfletcher844 John was never in an orphanage. He was given to his Aunt Mimi by his mother. Mimi lived near the Salvation Army Orphanage, and John liked to explore their gardens, which were called Strawberry Fields. His father, Alfred and sister Edith, did spend years in an orphanage.
You have to listen closely, because it’s not just a straight sample, but this song is the musical basis for Headlights by Eminem.
KENDRICK DROPPED!!!
@MichelleShow is the only reactor who can tell me its his first time hearing John Lennon and I actually believe it.
Also, did you know how many songs he sang that you will more than likely be familiar with ?
You should check a few out since you liked this.
-Happy Xmas (war is over)
-Imagine
-stand by me (my favourite version)

"Oh my love"

My personal fav is "Working Class Hero"

Nah. He said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. He may have been right too.
Nothing notable about outliving a guy that died 2000 years ago.
John Lennon. was a AMAZING soul & killed by his crazy girlfriend Yoko Ono 💔 DO "Imagine" by him/Beatles!!!: they fire

No, Yoko was his wife and did not kill him. He was killed by a man named Mark David Chapman.
