Beautiful, beautiful, sad song. Always brings a tear to my eye. What heartbreak to lose your mother at such a young age. RIP John and Julia.

Unfortunately, contrary to popular Julia vote, I state that I am quite disappointed in the song featuring my name... It is a quite uninventive one note song. A pity...

Johan Cavalli

Lennon is or will be regarded as the great and heavy composer -- one of the greatest ever, and McCartney the composer of good filler music. Lennon´s compositions has pain and that will make them easier to age. All formerly well - known composers could not age. For example. When Mozart was a little boy there was a very famous composer and Mozart´s favourite, named Thomas Arne. Who have heard of him? And in the 18th century Bach´s sons were much more known than him.The greatness of John Lennon´s music as i see it:–The increasing tension. For example I Should Have Known Better. Before Lennon, all pop music structure was AABA, where the tension decreased in the middle part B. But with Lennon the tension from the verse continued in the middle part. Besides that, in this song it is not only a key change in the transition to the middle part, it is even a little key change in it. The increasing tension was what first characterized The Beatles. The first single where the verse lacked this increasing tension was Can´t Buy Me Love. (But the chorus is OK). I didn´t know then it was a McCartney composition. – Other ways of increase the tension by Lennon is to pack together several little songs. Happiness Is A Warm Gun consists of three or four songs, and Bring On The Lucie consists of three songs. –All You Need Is Love has another way: First talking, then repeating half singing, then singing, and finally the climax in chorus.–The melody does not changes, but the background. For example in Strawberry Fields Forever and in Julia the singing melody uses the same notes, but instead the accompaniment changes! Listen to Puccini. He got tired of his sang melodies in Boheme and in Tosca he composed a lot where the sang melodies are often on the same notes, but the background changes instead. The effect can be stronger.–Octave Leap. For example, in the middle part of Please Please Me, Lennon makes an octave run in “…it´s so hard to reason with YOU…”, the climax of the song. George Martin didn´t understand the quality in that. In his orchestration of it in Off The Beatle Track, Martin excludes the octave, the most important bit of the song!–Verse and resolve. Typical for Lennon is a melody followed by a resolve, for example in No Reply “…I saw the light!”…and in Girl “girl! girl!…”. Lennon said that “a good song must have climax and resolve”.–Only one chord. In Tomorrow Never Knows there is only one chord, or bass note, an innovation in pop music. In the Middle Ages it was common with that bordun note, an unchanged bass note. When Lennon played the song the first time for George Martin, Martin didn´t like it.–Whole-tone scale. Most scales have both whole step and half steps between the notes in an octave. In the verse in Norwegian Wood, there is most whole steps, and that´s like the impressionists, for example Debussy. It sounds very clean.–Church Modes. A Hard Day´s Night is written in the mixolydian mode, an ancient vocal scale, preserved in British, Irish and American folk song. –If you play the beginning of Please Please Me slowly, you can hear the similarities with the Westminster bells ringing. When Lennon was a little boy, he loved visiting the divine services. Afterwards he used to improvise anthem music. Westminster bells could unconsciously have inspired him to the beginning of Please Please Me. There is also anthem music in the beginning of All You Need Is Love: “love love love…”.–The lamentation second. A little half step up in the scale. And that´s to indicate a pain. In All You Need Is Love Lennon sings the refrain twice unchanged and then suddenly the third time, rises a little, a very expressive and important step up. That step up started in the baroque epoch, and was called The lamentation second. When Lennon played it the first time to George Martin, Martin didn´t like it. He leaned towards McCartney and muttered: “It´s certainly repetitive”.–From darkness to light. Happiness Is a Warm Gun starts with a little melancholy, and ends with enthusiasm.—In the middle part of I Am The Walrus the darkness switches over to light: “sitting in an English garden…”. And the transition from the chaos and darkness in Revolution 9 to the light in Good Night. That is very typical in Wagner´s music. I think that temperamentally the two were similar. And I think Wagner would have loved the arrangement in Glass Onion.–Suggestive and hypnotic music. With small intervals between the notes in combination with some dissonance chord, Lennon can create a suggestive and hypnotic feeling in for example Across The Universe. It is more like Wagner than pop music.–Few notes. With few, but effective notes, Lennon can create more feeling than McCartney with all his notes, for example in If I Fell and Love.–A melody sang three times, in succession, with just a little change every time. When you hear it you can get frustrated or desperate not getting out from the melody. That we have in the middle part in I Call Your Name and in the middle part in And Your Bird Can Sing. And at the same time the melodies are stick together with a countermelody at the guitar. Rather hypnotic –Melodies without joint. Innovation. When repeating the verse melody in Any Time At All, the first note is the same note as the last note in the first verse: “…there is nothing I won´t DO if need a shoulder to cry on…”–The accompaniment doesn´t follow the vocal line. In the middle part of Hey Bulldog, the piano doesn´t follow the singer. An innovation in pop music. The first one was Schumann in his songs.–The first rap song. The talking in the end of Hey Bulldog.--Mix of scream and playing. In the end of Hey Bulldog Lennon is screaming while George is playing melody-mantra on the guitar as if nothing has happened. That creats a hypnotic feeling. Great music.–The most excellent and lovely melodies: The middle part of Bad to Me, the middle part of This Boy, the middle part of Yes it Is and the middle part of Nobody Loves Yo

"Julia" by the Beatles/John Lennon (The White Album, 1968Recorded on 13 October 1968 and released on 22 November 1968, John Lennon's touching love song "Julia"was in fact intended both as a cry of affection for his deceased mother (Julia) and his second wife Yoko Ono (referenced in the song as "Ocean Child", the literal meaning o her name). The track is the final song on side two (disc one on CD) of the Beatles' 1968 album, "The Beatles" (often called the "White Album") and was the last song recorded for the album.Lyrics:Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you, Julia, Julia Julia, ocean child, calls me.So I sing a song of love, JuliaJulia seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me.So I sing a song of love, Julia.Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering, in the sun.Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me.So I sing a song of love, JuliaWhen I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind, JuliaJulia sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me.So I sing a song of love, Julia. Mmm calls me. So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia.

Gorgeous! Well done!

ive heard that this song wasn't for him mom, but instead for his son Julian.. at the time,(1968), a love song for your child, especially a boy child, probably would have been banned or worse, john might have been branded as a pervert. so john hid the true person the song was meant for by using his mothers name instead. this is not my take on it. just something i read or saw somewhere. for the record, its also one of my favorites too..

WHY IS EVERY SONG BY MY NAME

Jean Hatfield

neat artistic song......

Tuice Jawa

This song always makes me feel something deeply moving ...... and my name is Julia :) Love the way you recorded this so it's not so disgustingly clear in the audio like most professional covers and recordings. I really enjoy the echo-sound of it all, really gives it an honest expression of the original instead of ruining the sacredness of this song.
