Julian Lennon – Valotte. Label: Charisma – JLCD1, Charisma – JLCD 1. Format: CD, Album. Country: UK & Europe. Duration taken from media player. Published by Charisma Music Publishing Co. Lt. Chappells.
Julian Lennon released his debut, Valotte, in 1984, not even a full four years after his father John's assassination. The wounds were still fresh and there were millions of listeners ready to embrace the son of a Beatle, particularly when he sounded remarkably like his father on the stately piano-led ballad "Valotte," the first single from the album. These are the elements that date Valotte, taking down some otherwise charming songs like the bouncy "Too Late for Goodbyes," but beneath this shiny gloss, this is by any measure the debut of a gifted pop melodicist.
Lennon wrote this in 1983 at a French chateau called the Manor de Valotte, which is how the song got its title (the word "Valotte" does not appear in the lyrics). In our interview with Julian, he told the story: "The place where that was written, which was actually a beautiful little run-down chateau in the middle of France, which is where the label at the time decided was a good place to send their artists to work out their writing skills. It's as simple as that, really. The album was dedicated to "My mother Cynthia and to my Father. Julian is John Lennon's first son. His mother is Cynthia Lennon, who John was married to before Yoko (they had a son named Sean). Julian sounds a lot like his dad, and a lot of people were surprised to learn it was not a John Lennon song when they first heard it. This was Julian's first single in the US and his second in the UK.

Sitting on the doorstep of the house I can't afford I can feel you there Thinking of a reason, well, it's really not very hard To love you even though you nearly lost my heart How can I explain the meaning of our love It fits so tight, closer than a glove Sitting on a pebble by the river. playing guitar Wond'ring if we're really ever gonna get that far Do you know there's something wrong 'Cause I've felt it all along
