Not too shabby!

Reminded me a little of Strawberry Fields Forever meets The Wondermints.

The video is well done. I am not so sure about the musical score though. I really can't make up my mind if I like it or not.

Maybe it will grow on me.

Haven't heard anything from Sean before. I'll have to review the link above.

I know he has previous CDs out. I figure if I haven't heard them at all on mainstream radio, they probably aren't very good. I mean, one would figure that a label would promote the heck out of a "Lennon" if the work was quality. So I take his still state of obscurity as a telltale sign.

Am I wrong?

Hate to say yes, Alex, but....think of all the music that would have to be classified as 'not very good' because it wasn't played on mainstream radio...

Sean's a great bass player...don't know why one couldn't just be satisfied with that...

Last names can be a bit of a curse.

Oh, brother- 4 minutes of mush. An occasional Lennonesque touch to help sell it, and a little SMILE- era arrangement, but still nothing...
I feel sorry for the guy. It's been a tough life for him, even with money. I wish him the best, but this does nothing for me.

I wonder if momma's influence is ruining his chances. Or perhaps he inherited her abilities (or lack of) rather than John's in the songwriting and vocal areas.

Didn't know he turned out to be a great bassist. Does he do session work

[notviceversa]

This song I am un sure about. Probably would have to hear the album as a whole to get the real feel for it. His album "into the Sun", I think, is great. We'll see with this one.

P.S. I tend to make sense only to myself sometimes. Or do you guys understand me?
