Oh boy, John Lennon could write the most beautiful melodies. And then pair them with raw emotion. Beautiful song.

[@andymageen5308]

So much of John’s later work is really introspective and truly reflects his own personal search for life’s meanings. This song is almost like a therapy session. ✌️

[@mnomadvfx]

A therapy session at the expense of other peoples feelngs. His ex wife, his current wife, the son he has with his current wife..... To say nothing of the in laws. Honestly after publishing this song assassination was the best thing for him really 😂

[@francineanthonsen2125]

​@@mnomadvfxWhat the hell is your problem? John Lennon did not deserve to be assassinated. He was a man who only wanted peace I the world. Don't forget he was after all just a man. He fell out of love with his first wife,big deal love comes and goes until you find the one you were meant to be with for life. John was with Yoko until the end of his life and would still be with her had he lived. If you don't like John Lennon why did you bother to even watch this reaction? Just Trolling I suppose.

Lennon confronted his "green-eyed monster" in this song about his jealous fits which sometimes overtook him. This song is indescribably beautiful and one of his best compositions. The whistling segment is incredible

[@richardmardis2492]

Well said 👍

[@markallen2984]

The music for this song was originally written as the song "Child of Nature" but John wrote new lyrics to create "Jealous Guy". The Roxy Music version of this song (recorded as a tribute to Lennon after his murder) is actually considered by many people to be the definitive version.

[@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek]

​@@markallen2984well that's ridiculous but John's version is way better.

[@drg3712]

@@markallen2984 it’s ok the say Roxy Music did a great (even fantastic) version, but to say it is definitive over Lennon is a strange thing to say (whoever said it first). All Along the WatchTower is considered by critics, fans, and Dylan himself to be the definitive version of that song. But that’s the only time I’ve heard a cover to be considered definitive (especially in regards to such a beautiful and deeply personal song written by a genius who was murdered tragically)

[@magneto7930]

It was originally planned as a Beatles song called Child of Nature, with the intention of being released in 1968. John perfected it a few years later. It's definitely one of his best songs.

[@Richard2003]

Yep same tune.

[@stevenboettcher4796]

They even rehearsed Child of Nature a few times during the Get Back sessions in 1969. So he loved the tune.

[@paulopinheirosc]

He composed it after a Maharishi lecture when the four Beatles were there studying meditation. Paul wrote "Mother Nature's Son" that same day (or so the story tells).

[@DonnaLang42rockglobally]

I remember hearing that the original opening lyrics for this song while it was still called Child of Nature were, "On the road to Rishikesh, I was dreaming more or less. And the dream I had was true, Yes the dream I had was true..." and that's about all I can remember of it off the top of my head.

[@magneto7930]

[@jonpalmer450]

@@carlaharrington5120 ...and yet painfully tragic when you think about how all that hopefulness, healing, and promises to be there for Sean (in a way that he wasn't for Julian) as he grows up were all taken away by a psychopath with a gun, within weeks of the songs being released.

[@gettinhungrig8806]

Yes I always remember Brian Ferry (who covered Jealous Guy) being asked, in the raw days following John's death, which of John's work he liked best. He said, he loved all of it.

[@paulopinheirosc]

"Mind Games" is astoundingly beautiful and to this day still gives me goosebumps.

[@jimmuratori5625]

The first song, ironically after the birth of Jay & Amber's son was Beautiful Boy.

[@gernblanston5697]

Lennon had his infamous "lost weekend" in the early '70s when he and Yoko were going through great turmoil, supposedly due to his infidelity. The "lost weekend" was actually much longer than a weekend. It is infamous because Lennon spent the time partying with David Bowie and Harry Nillson. Check out the story. It is some great rock lore.

[@trudieristich795]

I saw documentary about John Lennon and also when he was younger and yes he would party with Harry Nielsen. Just don't kinds of people but the thing is that whatever is on whatever he did. He was always getting in fights with somebody. And I just thought well o k so much for peace but of course great music

[@steve119100]

He didn't spend the whole time partying. He produced Nilsson's "Pussycats" album, finished work on "Mind Games," completed "Walls and Bridges," and the "Rock and Roll" album, which began with Phil Spector during the thirsty part of his Yoko-exile, and was completed by early-1975. He also appeared onstage with Elton John at Madison Square Garden in late 1974. Lennon was going to work with Paul McCartney in New Orleans (Venus and Mars) in 1975, but Yoko said, oh no. See May Pang's interviews on youtube about the eighteen-month weekend.

[@gotham61]

Lennon's affair with May Pang began more than two years after he recorded Jealous Guy,

[@MHume63]

Also Elton John.

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

Nothing to do with this song which was recorded for the 1971 album 'Imagine' in England before he even left for New York, let alone LA 🙄

[@gkiferonhs]

Their relationship was tumultuous early on and they shared it with the world through their music. Yoko genuinely peaced John out. His later music sounds as if he is more comfortable with himself. Have a Measured Monday.

[@loosilu]

This is not about Yoko at all. Yoko confirmed it. This is about Paul. Yoko sucked the creative life out of John. All of his friends and family and staff said that when he was with her, he was a shell of a person.

[@sandrahernandez569]

SORRY THIS SONG Wasn't about Yoko. Yoko and Paul Both stated he stated was talking about Paul's Success

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Lennon lives on in my heart till I die. And George. I dread the days of losing the remaining two.

[@jesselobo3213]

I shed a tear when I heard John's voice. It reminded me that no matter how talented one is, ultimately, we are human beings that are subject to our baser instincts and prone to making terrible mistakes. John's vulnerability to these behaviors touches all of us who work to be better souls. Thank you for the reaction.

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Supposedly at a party.he had loud relations with a woman that Yoko and other people heard all.thats when he went on his lost weekend with Nielsen and ringo in California 😊that lasted 4 years. Yoko told her assistant mae pang to go with him so he wouldn't wind up with anyone else.i believe that happened in 71.she called him back in 75.they had Sean ( beautiful boy).and he was a house husband for 4 years,while writing his double fantasy alblum.then in 80 tragedy struck.

This might be the best song ever written, it´s so beautiful.

[@marygoodson4920]

John Lennon's songs are seemingly so simple, and yet they are so deep and hit so hard. Not a note out of place. I think this song was written when he and Yoko were still in England, hence the big country estate and the Rolls Royce in the video. Then they moved to New York. He and Yoko separated for a while, she stayed in New York and he moved to Los Angeles for a drug and booze-filled year or so when he really went off the rails and had an affair. He got clean, they reconciled, she had their son Sean and he became a very happy house husband for a number of years, then he went back to recording and had just finished his beautiful album Double Fantasy when he was killed. I walked by their apartment building The Dakota about a half hour before he was shot. I wonder if John Hinkley was already there hiding in the shadows. It gives me shivers to think about it. What a waste of a beautiful soul. RIP.

[@amj4]

You mean Mark David Chapman. John Hinkley shot President Reagan

[@schmork]

John Hinkley shot Ronald Reagan in 1981. Mark David Chapman murdered John Lennon.

[@Llydrwydd]

John Hinkley?

[@loosilu]

This song was released in 1971,. It is not about Yoko. Yoko said it herself. This song is about Paul.

[@tompaul2591]

​@@Llydrwyddright. The original poster should edit this. John Hinckley shot Reagan

[@alisonhammer5662]

John told Paul this was for him. It was written in 1968 when the Beatles were in India with different lyrics called Child of Nature. Something happened in India between Paul and John that has never been revealed, but their relationship was strained upon their return and the slow breakup of their partnership had begun.

[@gettinhungrig8806]

When did John ever say that to Paul? I doubt that very much. Where's the quote?

[@alisonhammer5662]

@@gettinhungrig8806 “He used to say, ‘Everyone is on the McCartney bandwagon.’ He wrote ‘I’m Just a Jealous Guy,’ and he said that the song was about me. So I think it was just some kind of jealousy.” - Paul McCartney, 1985, to Playgirl Magazine

[@paulopinheirosc]

"I Know (I Know)" was the "apologize song" written for Paul. Don't know about "Jealous Guy". I think it was to Yoko. All former girlfriends who talk about John seem to be conclusive that he was a very jealous and insecure man (probably because he was abandoned by his parents as a child). During the "Abbey Road" sessions he used to keep Yoko by his side all the time and was jealous about her being too close to Paul or other guys.

[@JH-ii8xm]

John said it was about Paul in an interview.

[@patticrichton1135]

@@paulopinheirosc He was ALSO very jealous of anyone that showed his first wife Cynthia, when they were dating and in the early years of their marriage. I think the "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry that I made you cry" was also an apology to Cynthia, his first wife and mother of their son Julian, and also to Yoko when he took a woman into another room, leaving Yoko in the room with other people. They could hear what was obviously going on in the other room, and one of the other guests turned the music up louder so Yoko couldn't hear it. He has hurt BOTH Cynthia and Yoko.

[@bradsullivan2495]

Lennon's recording of "Jealous Guy" was released on the Imagine album in 1971. It was not released as a single until November 1985. Lennon actually wrote the song while he was still with the Beatles.

[@hongfang2348]

John wrote the music when he was with The Beatles but the lyrics were different. John didn't like the original lyrics. The lyrics heard here were, I believe, written after the breakup.

Ringo takes very good care of himself. Gone are all the vices. He's an avid vegetarian as well. And it's true, you get all the protein you need from vegetables. No need for meat, especially red meat which, eaten to excess, is very bad for you. Peace and love, Ringo!

Two more Lennon adjacent recommendations: His son, Julian Lennon is also a musician! His song “Too Late For Goodbyes” is amazing and my goodness is he a chip off the old block! He sounds so much like his dad. John’s wife Yoko is also a musician (although for many her music is an acquired taste Lol) and her song “Nobody Sees Me Like You Do” has really beautiful lyrics about her and John’s relationship. It was on her first solo album after John was murdered. Definitely worth a listen! ❤❤❤

Don't forget that John's youngest son Sean Lennon is *also* a singer, songwriter and musician. He is the lead singer and guitarist of his own band called "Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger" (GOASTT). I'm surprised you forgot all about his youngest child who is an incredible musician.

A beautiful song. My favorite moments are in those seconds before it goes into the third and fourth choruses, with the high piano keys played and the orchestra swelling, the drums punctuating the moments as he starts singing "I didnt mean to hurt you".

As someone else has mentioned, this was originally called “Child of Nature,” written for the Beatles’ white album. Paul’s song along the same lines, “Mother Nature’s Son,” made the album, but “Child of Nature” did not. John then wrote new words, and supposedly wrote it this way for Paul.

[@kimcutts6153]

This is a beautiful song about the "Green Eyed Monster" emotion, jealousy. Bryan Ferry did his own version of this (very much like this one). Well worth a listen too. 🎶 ❤

[@marygoodson4920]

You all are my favorite channel!!! I love the way you both respect and like each other, as well as the obvious love that is between you. So nice! You make me smile every day.

I'm from Liverpool and I went to the same schools as John. In fact I was taught by some of the same teachers at Quarry Bank, our senior school (or High School as I believe it is called in the US) - his first group was called The Quarrymen. Jealous and Woman needs to be listened to as odes from Man to Woman, not just a personal lament to Yoko. I was asked by a Texan elderly lady who I bumped into when she was visiting Liverpool which Beatle is Liverpudlians favourite? I said that the only way I could explain it was 'we love Paul, George and Ringo.... but we are IN LOVE with John.'

[@user-pe8ji5sn8e]

You should check out the cover version of this song by Brian Ferry, John always said that Brian's version of this song was his all time favorite.

[@gregorymoore2877]

With this song, John came a long way from "Run For Your Life" which says "You know that I'm a wicked guy and I was born with a jealous mind"

[@jxchamb]

"I'd rather see you dead girl than to be with another man" I love that song but dang is it dark. Especially considering it's from their fourth album when they were still fun loving mop tops.

[@caretaker158]

I have to say that my top three John Lennon solo songs are this one, "Woman", and "Beautiful Boy". I loved "Beautiful Boy" even more than I already had when I saw Richard Dreyfus doing it in the movie, "Mr. Holland's Opus."

[@jaynebennett8398]

This song was played in the movie ‘Look who’s talking too’ Such an adorable scene when the little boy was jealous of his baby sister and made her cry. Too cute for words 😄

Great track by John Lennon, with brilliant lyrics. Roxy Music did a good version of this as a tribute to John , after his untimely death.

[@tbirdsteve1]

John did the good version, Roxy Music did the great version.

[@user-fu4xm4hs3j]

@@tbirdsteve1 I agree Steve, I have suggested Rob Squad do a Roxy Track, but no luck so far.

[@cindybyrne1167]

​@COLIN WARD Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry solo would be excellent rabbit holes for Jay and Amber to fall into.

[@deanmaynard8256]

Bryan Ferry does an amazing cover of this as a tribute to John after his murder.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

I love this beautiful song By John Lennon always makes me tear up 😢

[@cking8631]

Always loved how when you listen to each of the Beatles individually you realize how talented each was, how they each grew over the years, and how much each contributed (you can hear it in every song). So much talent and together, an overwhelming talent like none other!

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I haven’t heard this in a long time. Love it. He was such a great singer/songwriter.❤

[@foamrob6577]

God is my favorite John song. This song was written during writings for The Beatles White Album and it was called Child Of Nature.

[@cathyortiz1280]

John was always so honest about himself in his music. Beautiful song!! You need to do "Cold Turkey" next.

[@marcellappelgren6550]

Hey Guys'''sweet song..natural and smooth...love your channel ////JL FOREVER

[@pttp5509]

Such a beautiful song - so personal! Even more personal is his song Mother - it’s like a primal scream

[@TANTRUMGASM]

Woman beater john lennon was piece of human garbage, a violent WOMANBEATER, and a horriblle DEADBEAT FATHER that punk deserved what he got in the street, like the filthy dog he was. he can rot along with any trash who worships a woman beater

[@pattyestrada6]

Amber, can we get more Joni Mitchell “Both Sides Now” or “River”. I’m so excited to see her at The Gorge this Saturday!

[@bethcrumpton476]

And listen to Joni's "The Circle Game." But bring tissues.

[@niallmcentee9400]

As some have mentioned you should check out the Roxy Music cover. They did it as a tribute after John's death. Well worth a listen. Also check out John's songs Mind Games, Nobody Told Me, Starting Over and No. 9 Dream

[@jimreid4367]

Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music) covered this song shortly after the death of JL and did a great job .

[@robertm7071]

The coolest age ever with the coolest and most brilliant group ever.

[@scottelement]

Y’all gotta listen to “Let it Be - The Beatles”

[@correctlyrics]

Guys, did you know that John had a son who is also a musician? You should check out his first single, "Top Late For Good bye" by Julian Lennon.

[@Kevonutube303]

"Too Late For Goodbye" Jay and Amber.

[@sunshinerain4ever]

Julian is still making albums, his latest is called Jude

[@sunshinerain4ever]

George's son Dhani has a remarkable musical career as well & looks just like his Dad!

[@stephanieo2509]

Sean Lennon is also a musician. Dead Meat is a great solo song by him.

[@sinforoso74]

I named my son Lennon after i heard "Imagine" he is my favorite Beatle, i love him deeply, he had a beutiful soul!!

[@scenevision356]

congrats,,, you named your poor kid after a wife beating, cowardly, junkie dead beat father...... hope you did a better job raising it than you did naming it . pathetic

[@bobrush4217]

Phil Spector produced this. John was speaking to him at the end of the video. Phil was known for creating "The Wall of Sound" in producing records. He was😮 hired to make an Album out of the "Let it Be" sessions, to Paul's dismay. I remember a story of him putting a gun to John Lennon's head. His ex Ronnie, accused him of severe abuse. He was convicted of murdering an actress and he died in prison.

[@Jessica_Roth]

An absolute classic. There was more to the "Imagine" album than just the title track. (Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music did a most wonderful cover of this.)

[@markallen2984]

FYI ...It wasn't a Bryan Ferry solo track it was actually a Roxy Music record. It was a song that the band used to play live, but after John's murder they decided to release it as a single as a tribute to Lennon.

[@Jessica_Roth]

@@markallen2984 My mistake. Thank you. (Have Jay and Amber done any Roxy Music as yet? I'd have to check.)

[@ericanderson8886]

Have they done "Working Class Hero" yet? That would be a great reaction.

[@GasMaskParade]

Such a sweet sad song written by the heaviest musical genius of the past 100 years

[@jackiewilliams4854]

Listen to Lennons “Mother”. John wrote one of the most introspective crushing compositions toward his parents, fans, and the Beatles. A masterpiece if ever their was one.

[@raeann63]

as gorgeous as this original is, i actually prefer the cover by bryan ferry of roxy music. i am also one of those oddballs that liked all the beatles solo works better than the group. they all seem to resonate more on their own. john's final album DOUBLE FANTASY was amazing.

[@thomashorton5715]

Please do the Beatles Helter skelter❤❤❤❤❤

[@dawngipe6324]

I think it's his personal experiences that makes it special as well... he expresses his deep emotions and it's beautiful

[@tinamiles9328]

i adored john lennon he had such wonderful warm voice so full of love ,

[@robertriedling6723]

A great song but I do think Bryan Ferry sings it better.

[@ls1959]

My favorite Lennon solo song. As a big Rolling Stones fan, I also value the absolutely fantastic contribution of one of the greatest keyboardists in rock music history, Nicky Hopkins. Nicky Hopkins piano brings out the best in this song. Just lovely sound.

[@digger65uk]

☮️ John wrote the melody in India, sitting next to Paul. Later, when John was being really honest about Paul in 1971, whilst recording, Imagine . He certainly demonstrated that on How Do You Sleep. He change the lyrics to jealous guy for Paul, and not Yoko. 💖

[@hackapump]

John originally wrote this song while The Beatles were in India, and it was considered for the White Album. The lyrics were originally in the same vein as Paul’s Mother Nature’s Son, in fact it had a similar title, (which might explain why it was abandoned at the time). He then rewrote the lyrics completely and put it on his solo album ”Imagine” (1971), so that we thankfully got to finally hear this beautiful song.
