    Story Behind the Song
    Song for John Lennon
    © N. Donahue

    (I want to begin by saying I am not a John Lennon worshiper. He is not my God or anything else. I wanted to point out that the lyrics to this song came from a combined since of admiration and sadness for what he was going through inside throughout his life. If your in doubt read and listen to his lyrics). Now to continue with my story.

    The chords to the song came very easy. Simple guitar chords. I was told the progression had a Beatles sound to it. At the time I had just purchased John Lennons Anthology and as I listened and read the lyrics I immediately observed some similarities in our lives as children. Particularly that neither one of us had much contact with our fathers. It was very obvious he was profoundly effected by his relationship or lack of with his parents. Long story short I sensed his pain. Also what I said about writing a song with him in another life is true, who wouldnt want to.
    I also tried to use some of his song titles in the song when appropriate.

    After many takes and rewrites and help from two friends the song was finished. Everything is audio except the drums were midi and yours truly attemped to sing the song. (I know keep my day job!) Thanks for listening! Please email your comments after hearing the song!!

    Lyrics
    John Lennon why did you have to go
    Your missed more than you'll ever know
    You left this world to soon and moved on
    I still can't believe that your really gone

    Its been 20 years or more and I discover
    How alike we were to one another
    Even though in this life your gone
    Perhaps in another we could write a song

    Chorus
    No one ever told me who you were
    And I was to young to know
    About the Beatles
    About your love for Yoko

    John I feel your pain and your sadness
    And I too escape from the madness
    We must have faith to believe
    There's more to life than what we see

    Chorus
    No one ever told me who you were
    And I was to young to know
    About the Beatles
    About your band the Plastic Ono

    Piano Solo

    Bless you
    Your mommy and daddys with you
    No one can take your place
    No one can fill your space
    Until the end
    Imagine you my friend
    John Lennon
    John Lennon
    John Lennon
