John Lennon's Son Said 1 of His Dad's Songs Feels Like It's About COVID-19 Quarantine
John Lennon‘s son, Sean Ono Lennon, has lots of thoughts about the former Beatle’s songs. For example, Sean said one of his father’s songs feels like a commentary on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. He said John wrote the song to highlight how his true self differed from his public image.

During a 2020 interview with Rolling Stone, Sean discussed the former Beatle’s album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. He felt it was a huge musical evolution from his father’s time as a pop star. Sean said John releasing John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band was akin to Elvis Presley joining a punk rock band. He said Yoko Ono was the catalyst for this sonic shift.
Sean had a lot of feelings about one of the tracks from the album, “Isolation.” “I grew up listening to it, but I couldn’t believe how spot-on the lyrics were,” Sean said. “I mean, it literally could be a song that was written about quarantine.”
