Speaking to the British publication, Lennon explained that the numerous mixes have served to ensure that his father’s solo music, outside of the Beatles, continues to receive “the attention” it deserves: “One thing that distinguishes my father’s solo career is the personal nature of his lyrics. It’s like a diary, and it’s my duty to bring attention to my father’s music. It’s not just a duty to him, but a duty to the world.”

Sean Ono continued: “With the world the way it is now, people have forgotten so many things that I never imagined could be forgotten. I refuse to let that happen to this music – it means too much to me.”

His comments come less than a month after he released a new music video for “Aisumasen (I’m Sorry)” by John, which features intimate footage shot by the musician himself. The video portrays John and Yoko Ono as they live their lives in a New York apartment.

In this regard, in the same chat with the Times, Sean Ono also spoke of the relationship between his parentsstating: “Their story is a love story. They found each other even though there was a big gap and they certainly struggled through ups and downs, but they never doubted their love. It’s important to remember them as an example. Even in difficult times, you can see that my father was thinking of my mother. They were simply, irrevocably intertwined.”
