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).

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 John Lennon's song Medley: Bring It On Home To Me/Send Me Some Lovin' primarily deal with the theme of love and longing. It is the story of a man who pleads with his lover to return to him after she left him behind. The first verse begins with the man saying that if his lover ever changes her mind about leaving him behind, she should bring it on home to him. He asks that she bring her sweet loving to him and bring it back home where it belongs.
In the second verse, the man hints at his pain at losing his lover. He admits to laughing when she left him, but now he knows that he only hurt himself. He pleads with her to return to him and asks that she bring her love back home to him.
The song then transitions to 'Send Me Some Lovin', where the man is asking his lover to send him some love through some means. He asks that she send her picture, send her kisses, and send him some love in the hopes that it will make him feel closer to her.
The overall theme of the song is one of love, loss, and longing. It is a beautiful and emotional journey, and the lyrics are simple yet powerful. Lennon's beautiful vocals bring out the pain and vulnerability of the man who is pleading with his lover to return to him.

I am present here, but I am sad and isolated
Just waiting for you
I await your arrival
