Drummer reacts to "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon

[@bradjenkins1475]

John was so willing to be open about himself. His feelings, his life in general.

[@antoniolehyt9847]

Yeah!! Is incredible to see that Paul could write so beautifull songs and sing them perfectly, but John could turn us on just with the emotionally way he sang his own songs

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

I'm someone who "Loves" honesty, truthfulness and sincerity, and John had that in abundance. That's why I love Lennon so much, because he told you straight, both his good points and bad. We are desperately lacking in honesty and truthfulness these days.

[@lauraallen55]

[@L33Reacts]

You are so correct. It is a dark time for honesty. And even if you heard it, we’ve been fooled so many times, who’s to say we would even believe the truth ?

[@brigidsingleton1596]

@@L33Reacts I believe there are still many of us who wish only for the truth to be told and believed when told... I do sometimes worry that the current state of affairs may have destroyed the ability to see the difference between truth and deliberate fiction, told with the intent to deceive...but then, for reasons I cannot easily explain, I feel a certainty that the Truth will somehow, albeit 'eventually' (rather than 'sooner') prevail dye to the overall inherent 'goodness' and natural propensity for wanting to be right and believable/ believed, that my hope for humanity will 'win the day' and, as dark our days may seem at the moment, we are raising our offspring to know the difference between right, wrong and caring for others. The need to look after each other, the knowledge which can recognise falsehoods and the desire to continue to evolve rather than the opposite, which at times now seems to be dragging us through the mire. I may not be around to see that world appear +I am now 61, and have "multiple co-morbidities" according to three London Hospital Consultants!) but I believe in the goodness of people generally speaking and hope that _you_ - I mean no disrespect to anyone by this phrase - _young people_ will continue to be the wheat amongst the chaff, the roses amongst the thorns, and the good against the "evil" which presently seems to pervade society. I will wish you all "Good Luck" but hope that you'll make your own good luck through wise decisions. Stay safe. Be happy. Look after each other.

Great idea to put these two on the same day! You might go so far as to say John (and George probably) were not only not into the whole fame thing the way Paul and Ringo were, but were downright traumatized by it. John's vulnerability and sensitivity weren't easy to see and probably because he hid it fairly well under his brashness, but it was a big part of him, due mainly to his childhood traumas that cut and ran so deeply..

John Lennon's original demo of this song as "Child of Nature" is a beautiful example of how his talent shines through even on a stripped-down, low fidelity tape recording.

[@genegarrett3372]

Another song written in 1968 during Johns protracted India visit. Original title was "Child of Nature" (or "On The Road to Marrakech") which popped up on George's Taped Esher demo sessions and later in Get Back/Let it Be sessions. It wasn't wasted and later transformed into "Jealous Guy" for the Imagine Album. Another reason to write down or do little demos of one's ideas

[@laurencaulton103]

One of John's most beautiful songs. There aren't many who have written such melodies. This is a song for Yoko. Jim Keltner is the drummer who most sounds like Ringo. The Beatles went to India to study Transcendental Meditation. It had a huge influence on the West, yoga, meditation, communes, etc. George stuck with Hinduism.

[@lauraallen55]

I expect it is mainly for Yoko. I haven't seen any sources or quotes from John on this one, but it could be about more than just her, too. There could be a little about Cyn in as well. At the root of his pain was his upbringing of course, and what caused him to become a 'jealous guy' most likely in the first place; abandonment issues can come out in a lot of ways, and he had severe, extreme abandonment issues.

[@redadamearth]

It's not a song for Yoko. As Lennon has said many times, it was his apology for all of the women he beat up when he was younger. As he said, he would beat "any woman, every woman I was with, it didn't matter", and mercilessly, because he was insecure and constantly filled with an almost psychotic jealousy (Paul's talked about how insane Lennon was in the early years and how his jealousy turned him into a monster). He beat pretty much every woman he was with until he met Yoko. The lyrics were his apology to the women in his past that he physically abused, trying to explain that he was screwed up at the time. Lennon was a deeply messed up guy and extremely abusive for years. It was only after Yoko that he finally started to calm down.

[@lauraallen55]

@@redadamearth I wonder why Paul said John had told him it was about Paul.

[@Kieop]

@@lauraallen55 I think this song is primarily directed at Cynthia and Paul, though it is an apology to everyone he ever hurt/drove away by trying to hold onto them too tightly. His abandonment issues made him possessive, jealous and codependent. He needed more from people than they could give. I don't think this is about physical abuse at all. The opening line hints that this song is also directed at Paul. He mentions the past, so it's not directed at Yoko. She gets her own apology songs. He and Paul shared a "dream" and Lennon songs that contain the word can be read as messages to Paul, though this view is not confirmed or universally accepted. I think Paul says that John told him Jealous Guy was about him, because that is exactly what John told him. I don't think it is ONLY about him though.

That was awesome Lee, two great, great songs by John Lennon.

Single or not, I always loved the song. I never heard the Roxy Music version, but Rod Stewart & the Faces do a nice job of it on their live album. I know a couple of covers of Help also. Deep Purple did a version early in their career & Tina Turner also covers it. I seen U2 live do part of which was awesome. Great videos
