Hargo – Crying for John Lennon

By 44faced on Oct 07, 2025 in Music - 0 Comments

After two decades in the making, the song “Crying for John Lennon” by Hargo has become released—a powerful tribute to John Lennon that finally sees the light of day. Originally written in 2004 as a heartfelt call for peace, “Crying for John Lennon” was the last project legendary producer Phil Spector ever chose to produce. Nearly twenty years later, the song has been reborn with new life through producer Nate Ruvin (Beach Boys, Christian Love) and a stunning cast of musicians, including Christian Love (son of Mike Love of The Beach Boys).

The track bridges eras: from a ten-minute burst of inspiration in a converted garage during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars… to Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound” production… to this reborn version today. The arrangement features lush orchestration, evocative slide guitar, and harmonies that recall Lennon’s timeless spirit.

“This song is a reconnection to the peak of Lennon’s impact on the global stage as an ambassador for peace,” says Hargo. “It honors his passionate commitment to that vision, especially in times of turmoil, war, and upheaval.”
