My favourite lyric in all of music, rather unsurprisingly, comes from\u00a0John Lennon<\/a>. <\/p>\n While part of me is desperate to align myself with something more offbeat as to create mysterious intrigue around my personality, I simply can\u2019t help but obsess over a simple line from perhaps the most famous musician of all time.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cLife is what happens to you \/ While you\u2019re busy making other plans,\u201d the great musician sang on \u2018Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)\u2019, a song written in tribute to his newborn Sean Ono Lennon. While most of the lyrics<\/a> deal with direct proclamations of love and stewardship, this one cuts through, serving as a piece of reflective philanthropy that perfectly describes the state of modern life.\u00a0<\/p>\n But outside of that, the song serves as a brief glimpse into the life of Sean and Julian, who together lived their lives with their father being perhaps\u00a0the most famous man in the world<\/a>. Moments of parental intimacy must have been fleeting when the world was so intent on snatching him away from them, and so even in a song dedicated to Sean, he had to share the moment with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ultimately, though, when the reality of what his father had given the world sank in, Sean became a fan, just like the rest of us. From\u00a0Double Fantasy<\/a>\u00a0and \u2018Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)\u2019 to beyond, tracing his genius all the way back to The Beatles, where, rather ironically, he shares a deep love for the exact same Beatles album as me. I\u2019m sorry for making your song all about me, Sean. Shall we now sit down and enjoy\u00a0Revolver together?\u00a0<\/p>\n Seems like it could be on the cards, for the young Lennon so eloquently described what made that 1966 record so special, capturing every essence of genius that makes it such a staple in my back catalogue. <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of good Beatles records, but Revolver is hard to beat,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey were moving at an unbelievable speed, they\u2019d hit their stride as individuals and were claiming their power as artists \u2013 but they haven\u2019t got to Pepper yet.\u201d<\/p>\n Further reading: From The Vault<\/p>\n Adding, \u201cRevolver is like bursting through a door. In a way, this transitional period is the most exciting. My dad and Paul are still writing together but they\u2019re also individuated. It\u2019s the best of both worlds. George has started writing incredible songs on his own. Their production is getting experimental. The technology is changing. They\u2019re starting to listen to the mixes, they\u2019re starting to have production input.\u201d<\/p>\n
