What a poignant testament to the abandonment a child can feel when a parent is distant. Julian Lenon wasn't able to know his father all that well growing up, as John Lennon left Julian's Mum and eventually remarried. Of course, having a famous Dad could well make mattere that much more complicated...despite the pop feel to this song, it moves me. I often wonder, not having a close relationship with my own father, what that loss must be like.
