In the beginning of 2010, the Playing For Change crew began work on a new Song Around the World, John Lennon's "Imagine." It has been an amazing year of production, taking the crew from the favelas of Brazil to the shrines of southern India, from villages in Nepal to the glittering urban landscape of Tokyo and New York, and beyond.
This song is the Playing For Change Foundation's gift to the world. The Playing For Change Foundation feels honored to have the blessing and generous support of Yoko Ono as music lovers around the world join together to launch the Power to the People campaign. The campaign seeks to advance John Lennon's vision of peace by engaging artists and audiences to contribute to music education programs worldwide. Proceeds raised will help build music schools, support teachers and music programs, purchase instruments, and connect schools for cross-cultural learning and conflict resolution across borders. Music IS the power: Power to the People.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.
I am fairly new watching the Playing for Change videos and I love every one of them. But this one is astounding! I have never seen one end the way this one did, with the actual artist included in the video. The way they put John Lennon ending it made me tear up. The entire video was beautiful and I imagine that this is what John envisioned... what he wished the world would be. People reaching out to each other in fellowship, not in aggression. I saw in an interview that he and Yoko faced racial issues because of their interracial marriage. That is sad, because love knows no color, knows no ethnicity. We are the human race. Regardless of our skin tone, we all bleed red. John seemed to be fighting against all the hate in the world. He was a man on a mission. I miss that man so much!

Very well said. John was, like Bowie said of him, "the last of the great originals ".
Totally agree !!
Verdade 😃
"We've got to get ourselves back to the garden ✌️🦋🏡!"
If we could live and work together like this, how beautiful the world would be
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is a reality." - John Lennon
I'm in
Absolutely.
Sin duda que sí!!!
hi
Hi
John Lennon may be gone but his music will live on forever
My Mom loved this song and the sentiments embodied therein. She was married to a white man who was a priest in the Episcopal church who served in the ghetto of Chicago. Throw me to the dogs for trying to get some traction, but my maw was wedded to the belief that all of humanity wants peace. All of humanity are beautiful. And we are. Love to all who read this and who never see this. Love!
My Mom, also, believed in all we need is love for each other. She was an angel put here to teach, and did a good job. I try but fall short.
I thank my parents for raising me with a open heart and open mind everyday now that they are both gone.
Me too ❤
8 Dec 2023 and I am here in Honor of the Power of the Artist to change the world. Thank you, John Lennon. All ways ~ IMAGINE
Love is the Only True Human Religion.
Buddha, Mohammed, Jesus & every other Prophet or Teacher have told us Time & Again.
Love is why we're here.
To love & be loved.
To share Love & Live Love.
In the end It's all that matters.
Imagine if you can a World Where LOVE IS ALL WE EVER NEED.
It’s getting to the point that Playing For Change is the only thing I watch on You Tube many days. Not much else calls to me or feeds my soul in quite the same way. Thank you!
Same for me 😊
Well said!
Same for me!!
I'm so happy this beautiful music has been recorded for posterity. I hope it lives forever.
The greatest song ever written.
Your legacy will live on forever, Mr John Lennon.
I agree with you sir.
@@elepheriakarageorgis9177 another person with great music taste
OK, this is how "Imagine" was meant to be played.
Sipppp
in this song it said a world without religion why not imagine a world with only one religion. there is only a religion in this world who never participate in war refuse to kill. try to find those people. they will talk about this new world full of joy tenderness love kindness. it is almost there a community of 8 millions of people living as if they were already in their new world
💯💯
💎💎
Agree. Very appropriate now. Glad some good is coming out of this world disaster, wonderful to think it could last. Stay safe.
Anyone else gets the chills from this ?
My race is human... My politics is freedom... My religion is love... One love, one heart, one race and lots of dreams... I want join u guys so badly...
enel pineda yes thats true
Me too!
That's wonderful
...let's get together and be alright
Always, Always My Friend.
Nice :-). Me too
I wish I was rich, but I'm not. If I was, I would like to go the UN and put-up big screens, and a good sound system, and then I would play this song for the General Assembly. I think it would move them very deeply. Then I would introduce them to Playing for Change and tell them about the people that are making this video, and many other like it. I don't think it would really change the world, but it might be worth a try. But I'm too old, and I'm too poor, yet I know there are people in the world that could do it. It's my dream is that someday, someone will.
Wouldn't move them at all. They want to control the world with their left wing nut job ideas, and think the end justify the means.
A useless organization that should be shut down
But you're more rich you think when i read your message, you understand what it's the real riches, don't worry about your mind, you're on the right way,just need to be patient,keep the first sentences in this clip,i'm a dreamer too maybe the most dreamer around the world, but I'm not alone,i know me well and i hear your message all around the world, it's the same one 😉😎
Playing something logical like this song to the UN and it would go right over their heads. I just wish all the dictators in the world would just wake up one morning and realize that the BS that they do everyday has to stop.
It Is FREE TO CHANGE, IF YOU KNOW HOW. UNCHAIN YOUR HEART, BODY AND SOUL. I AM A SERVANT,AND ENJOY BEING SO. SOME ARE NOT,AND THEY ENJOY IT. LET THEM GO ON WITH THAT,WE GOT THE MAGIC HAT 🎉
@@chrisb3976I THINK THEY WILL NOTICE,, THAT A CHANGE HAS COME, IN A FEW DAYS 🎉❤🎉😂😅
I love Imagine, such a wonderful song, this song has touched my heart so deeply since I was a tween. I know that some people don’t want to imagine there is no heaven, no religion too, but it resonated with me, as a young agnostic, I still have trouble imagining that there is a heaven and hell…but I hope and pray there is a heaven or afterlife, where we get a chance to reunite with family, friends and super important to me, my cats & dogs.
Jeah, I'm thinking other so!🙏
Believe in Jesus Christ as your savior and you will get to see heaven and eternal life jusr accept into your life ✝️❤️
This song touches my heart, I love their version.
John John John you are loved and missed by the entire world.
I danced a hula to this, crying, imagining, "that we live as one". Aloha and Mahalo from Maui
Please, do not feel forgotten or abandoned; you folks are forgotten by the corrupt and 'owned' media on the mainland, but not a single person who serves our universal loving God has forgotten what happened on your island. The people on Maui were attacked by those who wish the great majority of the world destroyed. The winds are changing shift, evil is close to extinction (bye, bye, Oprah and the Rock, already), the goof playing president is an actor, Trump(ets) can't be stopped, and those that have fallen victim to the rapidly eradicated evil we've all been under; tic-tok, tic-tok, tic-tok. Prayers!
STOP THE HATE! Love is all we need. We need to start up the old hippy movement and sing of love, and peace before it's too late.
Einfach ein Traum, Danke für dieses Musikalische Gustostück.
Perfekt umgesetzt.
Man kann nicht genug Dank und Anerkennung aussprechen an alle Mitwirkenden und vor allem denen die dieses Projekt in's
Leben gerufen haben.
One Heaven- One Earth-One Sky -One Heart-One Race The Human Race Hello too all my brothers and sisters. Peace
Just so absolutely beautifully done,John Lennon would agree.,he was a legend and missed so much ❤️
Imagine may be the most important individual song in the history of the world.
The most important song ever written
When world events take an unusually bad turn for the worse (like current events in Ukraine) this is my go to song to assuage my feeling of hopelessness and hearing it played by artists around the world makes it especially resonant. We have to keep imagining a better world.
When Lennon comes in at the end he’s like a ghost visage reminding us of a different time and world we let slip away.
Made me tear up a bit watching John Lennon at the end. This was exactly his vision for the world. Brought together by love and harmony and music.
Yup
Oh my... Can anyone watch this without crying? I hope not. So true to Johns vision and then Tamika singing from New York, what a voice for this song and then to see John pop in, I lost it. A masterpiece that proves we are not the only ones dreaming of a better world.
Michael Moon I can’t!!!! Why? Cause it’s an impossible dream!!!
When John and Yoko came on at the end it brought a tear to my eye, well done guys.
Rest in peace John Lennon.
He definitely wasn't the only one, and I still hope that those with anger or hate in their hearts will join US and live as one.
BitterSWEET... 🎶
Those with anger or hate or both in their hearts have joined us
Where are you?
Rapped up in anger hate and resentment ?
I'm crying.
All the best to the Ukrainian people. The world stands with you. Freedom always beats tyranny.
Ukranian NAZIS are the tyrants. part of the globalist tyrannical deep state.
@@briangriffin6224 both of you have missed the point of the song....
@@tabithatwitchetty thank you
@@tabithatwitchetty Herein lies the problem. Sigh...............

Power to the people.Imagine . Peace and Love from Motreal to All. Hope you keep on dreaming.
May your dreams come true.
Beautiful music huge respect to everyone who took part it's so good to see talented people all around the world.
I love this since the day it played for the first time ever...it will always have such profound meaning and love for life
Love all of the musicians playing from all over the world!!! Music is universal language that breaks all barriers!! Love you John!
Dear John,,,,,,,in so many ways....the greatest musician/philosopher/seer/ wonder of the world!!!!!!!!!
when john lennon came into my sight, can't stop crying.
Same Here Buddy.. Got a little chocked up.. Pease
Did it to me too.
Yep...61 years old and I stated to cry like a baby when I saw John Lennon, couldn’t stop for ages.
Same here caught my self swallowing tears
Seeing John at the end, definitely tugged on my heart strings.
to the lady singing in central park you are an angel to my ears and I'm an atheist. Just wanted to thank you for making my life a little better. peace.
Jjeff Kocher
Her voice is remarkably calming, so smooth and peaceful.
This song is the legacy of john lennon and all those talented artist in this video are keeping john's spirit alive..you all are so great thanks for giving us the chance to see this
Adoro o Playing For Change! I love the Playing For Change so much! 💗🌹
I had tears from the moment this video started! But allowing John and the arrangements to close out the song just added on feelings I can’t even describe. Maybe spmetijg along the lines of coming full circle? Maybe something like serving beautiful poetic Justice by doing what the song is about still many years later? Idk, but there is no word for it; but it’s absolutely perfect. Thank you 🙏
John Lennon would be happy with this version as it illustrates the meaning of the words he was trying to convey. Great Work.
i lost my baby died, i lost my wife, but your channel is helping me a lot
thank you
DTA4Ever seriously?
DTA4Ever G-o-d bless you dear!
Stay strong brother and may see them again someday..
I hope all is well for you.
I lost my daddy and less than year later cops killed my brother then my dog died but this group of musicians gives me hope for 💘 around the world and brought me back to earth
This song always touches my heart when done well, but this is another level. THIS is what John meant.
Yes
that was the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time, and I need more of this
Moves me to tears. Brings me hope. Brightens a dull day. Restores my faith in mankind. Such is the power of the words and tunes of this great person.
Saudações brasileiras para estes grandes artistas e inspiradores da vida.
Goodness, what an overwhelming performance around the world! BRAVO and thank you so much!!! Imagine all the people living life in peace!
It's the last music class with my students today, 3rd-5th. I am playing all the videos with kids. I can tell it is meaningful to them and eye opening to see other countries. Thank you from Alabama
This is special, I love Playing For Change, videos, love this version of IMAGINE, such a perfect song, I am Imagining Peace ✌️ in Ukraine 🇺🇦 & for all of us mere mortals living here on planet 🌍 earth 🌎, cutting to John and Yoko at the end was brilliant!! Yoko was so beautiful, I will never understand how or why people made her out to be the villain who broke up the Beatles. I grew up with the Beatles, literally, I was only 14 when they split & I didn’t feel any animosity towards Yoko then, nor have I ever. She was simply the perfect woman for John, he didn’t love Cynthia, he married her, because she was pregnant with Julian. Yes, John should have spent more time with Julian… John & Yoko tried so hard to have Sean, John loved Sean so much & I am so glad that the brothers love each other, they will be their for each other!! Having siblings is a huge part of my life, I am sooo grateful for them all. Love ❤️ & Peace ☮️
A true anthem for humanity!
This is Imagine on the next level. Thank you all who made this possible. It's really a gem!

Bellissima interpretazione !! Bravissimi vi adoro !!! ❤️🇮🇹❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
I was just wondering what John Lennon would have thought about people from all around the world from all different cultures and instruments singing his song .. THIS .. song together . And then he shows up at the end. Right on man! You know he would have loved it
The greatest song ever written. Now if we could just follow it.
The greatest song ever written now played by the greatest collaboration of the world has given me 1 of the best DMT releases that no drug could touch!! It's 2021 and just IMAGINE if we all came together, worldly, just like this!! The world would be one then!! Love and peace to all !!!!
To the lady singing in central park thank you you touched my spirit and im truly grateful.
This is so beautiful. Thank you, PFC.
Seeing this makes me smile and sad at the same time. Lennon would have loved this , he believed in this message. John was no saint by any means but he was a spiritual man. I still remember vividly I had worked all night and hadn't heard anything yet. My brother was waiting on me when I got home he was so upset my first thought was a family member. He said I know y'all worked under lights all night have you heard , heard what big brother that's when he told me someone had killed John Lennon. Tears came instantly to me and him again felt like getting kicked in the groin..
Music and love is the universal language. We need both to survive.
I'm waiting for the world to live as one. Wake up people, join in and follow your hearts. Open your eyes and be kind to others, Understand we are all one.
Michael, put Jesus in your life, without Jesus you’ll be singing imagine there’s no heaven and there won’t be no heaven for you, don’t be foolish, Jesus is waiting for you
This is the song everyone should listen today.
Yes.
John would be proud
He is
Maybe one day people will realize that they have more in common with their enemies than they do their leaders.
Thank you for the music John!
Peace & Love to everyone.
Am I the only one who upon hearing this song feels like crying?
Definitely not! :-)
No brother, I cried!!!!!
No you're not. And maybe someday the world will join us, and the world will really live as one.
;) :(
me 3
I truly feel John is smiling and that He would Love what you are doing and be a part of this if he was here now
just imagine my dear fellow brothers and sisters, haven on our beautiful Earth ♥
Love You All ♥ ♥ ♥
Beautiful song!!!
A dream we all share is a dream that hopefully get true one day.
Definitely my all-time favorite song. Very inspirational, thank you world.
We need this right now, rip, thank you John. Peace to all, stay healthy, God bless us all !!
"You may said I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us
and the world will be as one"
JL
❤
I imagine that John would be very pleased. Beautifully done.
Probably because Yoko showed up at the end, people have an irrational hatred towards her. Like with Hillary.
🇭🇳🇦🇷🇧🇷
And again we pray for peace we wish for a better world and a day when people can come together realize that we have more in common than differences
Super so habe ich Imagine noch nie gehört und gesehen, Was für eine Performenc , John Lennon wäre begeistert. R:I.P.
I'm a man and I'm not ashamed to tell you that I broke down got a teary eyes when suddenly Lenon popped up at the end..
Me too.. 😭😭😭
Imagine John being here today..
I had the same reaction, also with Bob Marley's Redemption Song.
I am a 67 year old man and I am NOT ashamed to say that I cried hearing this for the first time.
That's always been a good song, but it means so much more when so many different people sing it together. Amazing performance 🙌🙌. Fantastic!
I said this a year or so ago ... thank you Mr Bekker -- and of course all of you other amazing artists.
Seems like a nice guy
To, co najpiękniejsze... ❤🔥Dziękujemy!
To all those who played this song and those who sang thank you it was beautiful
I embrace you with all my love for your wonderful art. Good luck to you. I'm happy even though I just discovered you. There is no time for change. You have proven that to all of us. Endless thanks to you and everyone who volunteered for your beautiful songs. you are amazing
So incredibly wonderful!! LOVE everything I hear!! I see instruments from around the world that I never even KNEW existed, and the MUSIC being made here is SO UNIQUE!! Thank you for sharing this with the world!!
Beautiful song. I love this song, and this cover too. Thank' s for sharing!
In one word, this rendition of the song is MAGIC
I do ALOT of imagining .....for decades‼😁💚
I've watched this many many times, but it really gets to me when John Lennon comes on.
Me too.
Y'all need to get the lawyers to negotiate a deal to do a remix and add Julian Lennon's cover track to the ensemble. First time he's ever put his dad's music on a record and he did it to raise money for the refugees in Ukraine.
Parabéns, pelo excelente trabalho e pelo nobre entusiasmo em promover Musicas. Me deixou sem palavras para melhor expressar.
You’re not the only one. Greetings from Peru 🇵🇪! ☮️
Beautiful, thank you playing for change 💜
DEC. 8, 1980. A DAY THAT WILL LIVE FOR ETERNITY...

Crying! Actually balling my eyes out that our world could be so beautiful if we could just STOP the Hate! Life is so short people. Let’s take the time to Live and Celebrate Life🌹
Maravilhosos! Fantásticos!
Divinos!
Love this cover....it's one of my all time favorite songs and this has the same type of heart and soul.
