  • The Laptop Sessions: “Too Late For Goodbyes” (Julian Lennon Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Monday, June 16th, 2008

    By Jeff Copperthite:

    Welcome to your Monday edition of The Laptop Sessions. Today I bring you a new artist to the sessions with the son of John Lennon, that being Julian Lennon.

    Off of his popular album “Valotte”, I am performing “Too Late For Goodbyes”, one of his most well-known songs. However, I must admit, my first exposure to this song wasn’t off the aforementioned album. I first heard this song when my friend introduced me to the cover version from The Wallflowers. Therefore, this song is really a cover of a cover.

    The lyrics in The Wallflowers’ version are slightly different, as is the structure of the song. However, the spirit of the song and the offbeat strumming pattern come through in this acoustic cover song. I have practiced this one for a week or two, so this video is another single take.

    I always love bringing new bands to the sessions, but I haven’t forgotten all the bands that I love to cover. I will be doing another song from a band I have covered in the past, so come back Thursday for that!

    And of course, you better come back tomorrow for Jim’s latest session, and Chris will be doing Original Wednesday this week - I can’t wait to see what he has in store!

Probably more well known as the infamous son of Beatles legend John Lennon, Julian has managed to put together a solid career as a singer-songwriter himself. Most of his success has come in the UK. His earlier work did pick up in the U.S., most notably the album “Valotte”. The three singles from that album made the U.S. Hot 100 charts, including “Too Late For Goodbyes”. Julian does have a stereotypical 80’s organ-ish sound, rather than an acoustic sound. “I was introduced to Julian, oddly enough, through listening to a cover of their song ‘Too Late For Goodbyes’ by The Wallflowers. I caught on to the catchy lyrics and backing track, and used that to help translate it into the acoustic cover video that I made”. Julian’s work, while unique and underrated, is worth listening too.
