Beatles - Julia Song Meanings

Lyrics:
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia

Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, ...
(See the rest of these lyrics)

I think This song is about John's Son Julian. He was divorced from Julian's mother Cynthia, and then remarried. I read from another user in the interpretations for a day in the life that he had Sean and kinda blew off Julian. So when he says that " half of what I say is meaningless", he could be talking about how Julian doesn't want anything to do with him. He says "oceanchild", but I don't know what he means. His mother was also named Julia, but I think he is talking about Julian. My dad's family were really huge Beatles fans when they were still playing together, and listened to them a lot. I was talking with him one day, and he said that in a magazine arcticle that interviewed John, he said that John named it Julia because with the strong prejudice of America, he would look homosexual. I'm not sure if this is true, because he wrote this song a while ago. That is my interpretation, and please reply if you have more info!

This song is for Julia Lennon, John's mother, who died in a car accident when John was in his late teens (around 17 I think). He had grown up with his aunt Mimi instead of his mother, but that had gotten very close in her last years.

The ocean child lyric is a reference to Yoko Ono; the kanji for Yoko means ocean child.

Ya, I thought so. After I sent in my first interp., I thought I sounded pretty stupid, since sean was like two, if he was even born yet. So thanks for the real right answer

Also,thanks for the ocen child part.
