#46: ‘Julia’- one of 13 songs from The White Album to make the Hans Hot 100 Beatles songs- ‘Julia’ was a song that John Lennon wrote while The Beatles and friends were in India meditating with the Maharishi in the summer of 1968. ‘Julia’ was a song John wrote about his mother Julia- who had been killed when hit by a car on a Liverpool street ten years earlier- an event John never got over. John performed the song solo on the album- just John and his acoustic guitar- it would be the only time John recorded one of his songs solo on a Beatles album. Also there was a little of his future wife in the song -when he sings ‘ocean child calls me’- Yoko means ‘child of the sea’ in Japanese.
