Learning how to play his songs on guitar was a way to process the loss with an activity that made me feel connected to him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you\u2019ve lost a parent, things like that motivate you &#8211; because you&#8217;re trying to find them. Making music always made me feel like I was getting to know him better. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nSean feels he&#8217;s got to know his dad even more intimately by listening to his music and watching archive footage of him.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe musician &#8211; who released his debut solo album, &#8216;Into the Sun&#8217;, back in 1998 &#8211; shared: &#8220;You&#8217;re constructing somebody out of fragments.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I grew up mostly knowing my dad through pictures and recordings, because he wasn&#8217;t around.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So whenever I hear my dad saying anything that I haven&#8217;t heard before, even just a little moment, it means so much to me. It\u2019s like gold. It\u2019s precious because it&#8217;s like getting more time with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2020, Sean interviewed Sir Paul McCartney for a documentary called &#8216;John Lennon At 80&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the documentary, Paul shared his memories of meeting his former Beatles bandmate for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I look back on it now like a fan, how lucky was I to meet this strange teddy boy off the bus, who played music like I did and we get together and boy, we complemented each other!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/music-filled-void-life-says-sean-ono-lennon-1409488.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 November 2024 Sean Ono Lennon believes music helped to fill a &#8220;void&#8221; in his life.
