Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed The Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. Sometimes called "the smart Beatle", Lennon initially was the group's de facto leader, a role he gradually ceded to McCartney. Through his songwriting in the Beatles, he embraced myriad musical influences, initially writing and co-writing rock and pop-oriented hit songs in the band's early years, then later incorporating experimental elements into his compositions in the latter half of the Beatles' career as his songs became known for their increasing innovation. Lennon soon expanded his work into other media by participating in numerous films, including How I Won the War, and authoring In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works, both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with "All You Need Is Love", his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture of the 1960s. In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration Bed-ins for Peace and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career.
Between 1968 and 1972, Lennon and Ono collaborated on many works, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, several more films, his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the international top-10 singles "Give Peace a Chance", "Instant Karma!", "Imagine", and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year deportation attempt by the Nixon administration. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, during which time he produced Harry Nilsson's album Pussy Cats. He also had chart-topping collaborations with Elton John ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") and David Bowie ("Fame"). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was murdered by a Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman, three weeks after the album's release.
As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his best-selling album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. That year, he won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and 38th greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change your mind
About leaving
Leaving me behind
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I laughed
Laughed when you left
But now I know,
I only hurt myself
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
Oh, you better bring it to me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You know I'll always
Be your slave
Till I'm dead
And buried in my grave
Oh, you better bring it me
Bring your sweet loving
Bring it on home to me
Yeah, yeah
Send me some loving
Send it I pray
How can I love you
When you're so far away
Send me your picture
Send it my dear
So I can hold it
And pretend you are near
Send me your kisses,
I can feel your touch
I need you, I need you so bad,
Don't you know I miss you so much
My days are so lonely,
My nights are so blue
I'm here and I'm lonely,
Just waiting for you
The lyrics to "Medley: Bring It On Home To Me/Send Me Some Lovin'" by John Lennon are a powerful expression of love and longing. The first part of the medley focuses on the idea of reconciliation, with the singer pleading with his lover to come back to him. He tells her that if she ever changes her mind about leaving him behind, she should bring her sweet loving back home to him. He acknowledges the pain he's caused himself by laughing when she first left, and he offers himself as her slave until he's dead and buried in his grave, if it means she'll return to him. The message is clear: he loves her deeply and wants her to come back to him.
The second part of the medley, "Send Me Some Lovin'," is another powerful expression of the singer's love and longing. He pleads with his lover to send him some loving, even if she's far away. He asks for her picture so he can hold it and pretend she's near, and he imagines feeling her touch and kisses. He portrays his life as lonely and blue without her, and he begs her to come back to him as soon as possible.
