21-year-old Julian Lennon's debut album was released on 15 October 1984.

Produced by Phil Ramone (who Lennon approached after hearing Billy Joel's 1982 album The Nylon Curtain), Valotte received mostly negative reviews when it was firs released, and the first single (in the US), the title track, sold slowly. It was a different story in England.

"Too Late for Goodbyes" was released in the UK in September 1984, and by November had peaked at #6. It was released in the US in January 1985 and peaked at #5 in March. "Valotte" would also reach the Top Ten, peaking at #9.

Sam Peckinpah directed music videos for both singles.

The album peaked at #17 in the US and #20 in the UK, and sold more than 1 million copies.

No one understands how much it annoys me when I see people talking about how John wrote a song for Sean and not Julian as if good night doesn’t exist 😪

Film meme: [3/5] sci-fi » THE HUNGER GAMES (2012) I just don’t want to be another piece in their game. I keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don’t own me. If I’m gonna die, I want to still be me.

I made stamps for every The Divine Comedy album ^_^.

If you want to use these for anything (on the off-chance, lol) feel free to! I would appreciate credit but it's not necessary. Tell me what you use them for maybe? :-)
