Imagine written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Released in 1971, Imagine has been hailed by many as one of the greatest songs ever written. But it hasn’t been without controversy. Some thought it to be subversive, denouncing religion and nationalism and promoting Marxism or Communism in a phrase from its final verse “imagine no possessions”. I remember that criticism when I was a teenager. Lennon wasn’t appreciated by law enforcement in the U.S. because of his drug use. After his tragic murder, that sort of disappeared. It’s a song that has reached around the world and touched billions. In the age of increasing income inequality, religious wars and political violence, it is sorely needed.

A really lovely cover, its lovely how your understated accompaniment works so well for this song. A very interesting history as well, I hadn't appreciated that. I'm very humbled you have my book on your bookshelf, thank you. Cheers Dave

Thanks, Dave. I was imagining (no pun intended) a music box playing a simple accompaniment with just a few notes one at a time. Just watched your latest ScrapperCaster video. It’s really coming along.

Might just be the best song ever written! Nice work, love the guitar. Burlington Bill busking on the road and here on You Tube.
