About two years later, with The Beatles in his rearview mirror, he recorded “Mother,” a harrowing excavation of his deep-seated feelings of abandonment concerning his parents. What you do hear is the combination of mantra-like calm and profound yearning he conjures each time he sings his mother’s name. Julia Lyrics Intro Half of what I say is meaningless But I say it just to reach you, Julia Verse 1 Julia, Julia Ocean child calls me So I sing a song of love, Julia Verse 2. Lennon’s contention that he intermingled the memories of his mother with his then-current emotions for his wife Yoko is hard to hear in the finished product. The bulk of the lyric consists of poetic imagery that speaks of beauty and distance: “Silent cloud” “Morning moon” “Her hair of floating sky.” He borrowed some of the lines from the poem “Sand And Foam” by Kahlil Gibran, including the opening couplet: “Half of what I say is meaningless / But I say it just to reach you.” It must have been strange for fans to hear the leader of the biggest band in the world co-opting a line that evokes ineffectuality, but Lennon was always about upending expectations. There is an undeniable loneliness evident in his voice, even amidst the double-tracking that Lennon preferred.

In his 1980 interview with Playboy magazine, Lennon explained that the trip to India provided ample opportunity for songwriting, and “Julia” was a byproduct of that. But by the time The White Album rolled around in 1968, all subjects were game, as Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote oodles of material (with George Harrison and, on one song, Ringo Starr also contributing), so much so that a double-album was deemed necessary to contain it all.
