"Julia" is a song by the British rock band, The Beatles. It was released in 1968, as part of their critically acclaimed album titled "The Beatles," also known as "The White Album." The song is written in the original key of F major, and it was performed by John Lennon, one of the band's primary songwriters. "Julia" holds a special significance as it serves as a tribute to Lennon's late mother, Julia Lennon, who tragically passed away when he was a teenager. Lennon composed the song, drawing inspiration from a poem written by his mother. As for trivia, "Julia" is the only Beatles song where Lennon is the sole performer, playing an acoustic guitar in a fingerpicking style. It showcases a delicate and haunting melody, with heartfelt lyrics that express Lennon's emotions and longing for his mother.
