Mother You had me But I never had you I wanted you You didn’t want me So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father You left me But I never left you I needed you You didn’t need me So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children Don’t do What I have done I couldn’t walk And I tried to run So I I just got to tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home Mama don’t go Daddy come home written by John Lennon John Lennon: vocals and piano Ringo Starr: drums Klaus Voormann: bass Yoko Ono: wind Produced by John & Yoko and Phil Spector. The video explores layers in the meaning of the lyrics and performance of the song - telling the story of John’s relationships with mother and father figures, including fractured memories from his childhood and important moments in his life. We see parental figures gone too soon and desperately missed: his mother Julia, father Alfred, his Aunt Mimi and Uncle George Smith who raised and housed him for most of his childhood and teens, and manager Brian Epstein. We see John with his wife Yoko Ono Lennon (who he nicknamed ‘Mother’ after they became parents with Sean), we consider John as a father, with sons Julian Lennon and Sean Ono Lennon, and then explore themes of John absent, gone too soon, missed sorely by his wife, children, extended family and the world. Produced by Yoko Ono Lennon, directed and edited by Simon Hilton with 3D compositing by David Frearson, the video was first created in 2003 for the DVD release: 'Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon' and includes photographs by Bob Gruen, Stanley Parkes, Geoff Rhind, Robert Freeman, Jack Mitchell, Iain Macmillan, Paul Goresh, Joyce Ravid and many others. http://www.johnlennon.com
