“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
Jimi Hendrix.
People who get angry about this song either aren't listening to it or don't understand it. He isn't bashing anyone's beliefs, he's asking everyone to stop and think about what a world with love and without hate could be. As you said, you might not agree with everything he said, but I am glad that you appreciated his sentiment.
Imagine no barriers to humanity, he just voiced all the differences we have
“She looks pissed.” I laughed! Yoko usually looks stoic, but she does show a playful, happy side at times. John’s son Julian did a recording and video of “Imagine” last year. He said he’d never sing the song but did so for charity. It was the first time he sang “Imagine.”
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, in my opinion. It still touches me, no matter how many times I have heard it over the years. Still so poignant today, maybe even more so now.
I have "Imagine" in John's handwriting tattooed on my wrist.
RIP John. Always missed.
This song became a big anthem again after a terrorist attack (Paris 2015), a man started playing this near the theatre where most casualties fell
Love this song. John was anti war, anti violence, and anti prejudice.
It’s the most beautiful song ever written. It brings me to tears every time I listen to it I cry x
My favorite John Lennon solo song !! Absolutely beautiful melody and lyrics. R.I.P John 😢
Sometimes when I hear this song tears flow from my eyes cause my own father was also murdered victim of robbery and even after he handed over his money the guy still shot him !! Hard to forgive him and the jerk who killed Lennon. Don't keep up with his whereabouts but I hope he never sees the light of day !!
@@Awaywrdson I am SO SORRY for what happened to your father, Emanuel. SO SENSELESS! Did they ever catch the person who murdered your dad? I HOPE so. Bless you Emanuel and your family. Though I don't know you, it still hurts my heart that this happened to your dad. This sort of thing just shows how some people have NO regard for the lives of their fellow human beings. I TOO can never forgive "He who shall not be named" who murdered John. We Beatles and Lennon fans NEVER mention his name, because THAT was the real reason he did it, to become "famous" I am not worried about that jerk getting out. He has been denied parole every single time, and Yoko has always been at EVERY parole hearing. She is 90 years old now and in frail condition. I am sure that their son Sean will attend any future parole hearings if Yoko is no longer able, or after she dies.
This is and it’s saying a lot,since he was a Beatle,is John Lennon’s signature song.
No matter how many times I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes. Even when they used this song for a commercial. I started crying at the commercial. John Lennon was a
Great musician.Am I the only one who wonders what kind of misic he would have today..?
Only John Lennon could write a song imagining no religion that people would sing in church.
He was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
I think the world 🌎 died a little the day John Lennon was gunned down in the street.. He wanted peace on earth.
Fucking right it did
The World died a lot that day, I remember it well and I was only 11.
I know I did... 😢
It absolutely did, I died a little then too, and along with it, my youth. It STILL hurts to this day. I remember the night he was murdered like it was yesterday, it was worse than when JFK was assassinated. I was 33 years old when John was murdered on Dec. 8th, 1980, and was 16 when President Kennedy was killed on Nov.22, 1963.
Still cry about it
One of the most beautiful songs ever….. and she doesn’t smile a lot
Such a powerful & beautiful song. He is listing the things people fight & die for & saying if they did not exist, there would be no wars. This was released the year I graduated. 1971 & the Vietnam was still raging & my brother was there. The war ended in 1975. & John & his wife Yoko Ono were against the war & all about peace & love. He wasn't criticizing religion, he was making the point that many wars are fought over it, as well as other things he mentioned.
The Vietnam War was continuing beyond futility when this song was released. All wars have been fought because of religion, borders, jealousy and/or greed. What if we stripped everything away that divides us? Can you Imagine a world of brotherhood and love? All people on Earth have so much more in common than they realize, but we tend to focus more on our insignificant differences. Humanity needs to mature while we still can.
You're learning, Mayoman. You got it. It is about peace, harmony, unity. Important theme back then and even more now. Many of us live free of many of those things. We are humans who don't need more labels.
"A lot of people would get upset"..., yeah, but this is his most popular song. A lot of people understood what he was saying. Hey, you picked up that it's him saying "imagine this". Don't give up all your possessions, just imagine what it would be like if you did, if everyone thought that way.
George Carlin said it best: “Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon, they all said, ‘Try to live together peacefully.’ BAM! Right in the f***ing head. Apparently we're not ready for that.”
Gandhi shouldn't be there
He was singing for peace. His lyrics are listing all the things that prevent peace. He was so amazing. So sad the way he died. We miss you John. ❤
I love the message of this song I really do
Religions, governments, political alliances all mean nothing at the end of the day. All divisions created by those in power.
May be the best song ever.
I agree to an extent! I’m a catholic!
Religion was here long before governments, long before political alliances and, in the end, it will be the ONLY thing that matters, in my humble opinion.
@@Paladin70 I agree
I think John would be pleased that all these years later you would be reflecting on his lyrics and music.
Pentatonic does a Fantastic cover of song. Great video.
I think in the 60s 70s which I grew up in, Hippies..We were dreamers..Vietnam, Civil Rights, Women's Rights..I protested more in HS than classes...Now 50 years later every we fought for, is being taken away..Especially Women's Rights, going backwards..I feel for my Grandchildren. Especially Gay Rights are being taken away.
My Granddaughter is Gay...Young generation better wake up....
Yoko looks pissed? As Ringo used to say when people said he looked bored, "It's just me face!"
I don’t know how they got in my house to shoot this damn video, but it had to be when we were on vacation. At least they didn’t leave a mess.
🤣🤣
Try not to fall into the trap of assuming a woman is angry just because she's not smiling. ❤
Julian Lennon wrote a beautiful song too, 'Saltwater' so poetic song
Good job interpreting the lyrics. Great reaction overall!
Thanks a million levy !!! Appreciate you! 🙏
Michael Duffy, your thoughts and insights renew my faith in the future of humanity. Thank you.
That is their house at a place in England called, Ascot.
Wow it’s beautiful
The album cover for hey Jude was also done there
John was all about love.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.✌️
Steely Dan wrote a song sort of making fun of this song. "Only A Fool Would Say That". I love John Lennon.
I love John and this song so much i mentally blocked out Yoko hehe, its only been a few decades and wounds are still fresh, 😅 anyway, always happy to see you post, thank you for the video and commentary
John really loved Yoko. What anyone else thinks of her doesn't matter.
@@stephenamy6305 It must matter to the person thinking it lol
@@Paladin70 I think it is weird to be fan of John Lennon and also detest Yoko. Yoko was a big part of who John Lennon was
@@stephenamy6305 Did I say I detest her? Correct, I didn’t. I have no feelings about her in any way, although there are conspiracy theorists who blame her for the Beatles breakup. I for one don’t give one f**k.
As a life long athiest, this is an anthem, the only one that makes sense, for the future of all of us...
Wonderful uplifting mantra
I remember this video when it first came out. The imagery is mesmerizing because everything in the room is white, and they both had on white clothes. So, now John is wearing black, whereas when the video came out he had an all white suit on. Mandela Effect.
I think his is his finest song. At time of his murder he and McCartney were making arrangements to go in studio together. I can only imagine what could have been.
Awesome reaction! Good journey...Peace!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful……❤🌎✌🏼
Just Imagine.✌☮🕊
Just opened my refrigerator, saw mayo, then I thought of you. It's a joke, my friend. 🎉. A GREAT PEACE SONG. I wonder if it's one of the most famous song in the world. A pleasure to see you and to write these words. Congratulations 👍👍👍
Mayonnaise is easy to remember !! Good hook
If I'm remembering correctly this song came from a conversation they had about what happens after you die. Everything that makes you, you is gone because it's unneeded. Something to that effect.
Tittenhurst Park. Was John Lennon s house/estate in Ascot. It was Ringo's house then he sold it to John. He built a recording studio in there and recorded the whole Imagine album
I think John sold it Ringo when he moved to New York. And Ringo sold it to a Gulf state sheikh who has spent millions and millions on re-developing it.
@@thereunionparty yes I think you are right! 👍
when lennon mentioned "no religion" he was talking about organized and "state" religions that force conformity to a certain belief system. he wan't talking about "spirituality." the reality is ALL individuals have MUCH MORE in common that our leadership would have us believe. our differences are superficial. but our commonalities are instrinsic human nature.
our differences are intensified and exploited by our so-called ruling elite who want us in a constant state of suspicion, hate and conflict so THEY stay in power. they pit us against each other so we can't, or won't UNITE against them. as soon as most blind people figure this out and stop playing this game of "divide-and-conquer" we can HAVE the world that lennon, and so many others, "imagine."
You're a philosopher, Duffy.
You should listen to the final scene of the fantastic film "The Killing Fields", based on a true story.
symbolism. out of the fog into the light.
When I heard Howard Cosell announce that John was shot dead on Monday Night Football. I remember sitting there numb. I always enjoyed this song but we can only imagine it happening. For me ‘Everyday People’
by Sly and the Family Stone is something we can achieve.
Funny connection to the film Forest Gump. You should try to check it out. Most amusing.
Music was my dream…..trying to get back to it
If you haven't already, you should react to Supertramp's live version of The Logical Song. Some similar themes are touched upon.
They were in " A WHITE HOUSE" thats a powerful analogy
Nothing to kill or die for 👵🏼💜☮️
I remember exactly where I was when John Lennon, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were murdered. What i am saying is, when John Lennon was murdered it was a moment of historic relevance.
Very sad day when Lennon died ,he just wanted the world to live in peace ,
You can have a world in peace and unity, but it is as you see in the video, it is a dark room that must open windows for the light to enter, people must open their minds to a world in peace, to a just world, and not think in the discourse that the human being can only live in war. And Lennon was assassinated when he was calling for the end of a war, but his dream continues. Greetings..
Yoko wasn't pissed she always had that look
The long walk symbolizes our journey through life. The room piano and yoko's dress are all white symbolizing purity. The room is dark when they enter and Yoko his wife lets in the light to dispel the darkness. This is a false freedom that is misleading that comes from a different religion and not the Catholic faith
Thank Youuu
No one should be homeless at least. ❤ no matter the situation. They need assistance.
Can we please do this! 🌎✌️
Yoko Ono co wrote this song and was John Lennon partner this video was recorded here in England he moved to America and was shot dead in front of Yoko Ono in NY 1980. This video was 1971
I love how the americans are still in the religious phase. You should meet our Iraqi refugees. You will find you have a lot in common.
You are young and don't realize not everyone has the same opportunities.
Listen, she's leaving home. The Beatles
John and Yoko walking in th real fog
he is talking about a one nation world but not with malicious intent
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
The ending kiss was cute
Oh people did get upset…he was a humanist, he loved all people. A lunatic shot him to death for this!
It’s real fog.
No such thing as one world government when song was written…. You have to remember it was a totally different time
I WISH TO SAY JOHN LENNON IS NOT DEAD, HE IS A WHITE HAT! A white hat is someone who gave up all to save this world!
Interesting that you say that. Did you see the movie "Yesterday"? The ending was a twist, with John still being alive, living a lonely, but peaceful life.
religion and nationalism......the two most divisive forces on earth
That's his wife Yoko Ono sitting with him. She is the reason the Beatles broke up. John was murdered coming out of his apt building in NY.
Pootin used to be a Beatles fan, all of these Lennon and Beatle songs should be sent to pootun, flood pootun with these peace songs
"One World" and "One World Government" are not the same thing.
#ImaginePeace
Elvis, John F Kennedy, Jr., his wife and sister-in-law, Princess Diana, the two Bee Gee’s, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and many more, you will all find out very, very soon that I am being truthful!
"Those you think are alive are dead, and those you think are dead are alive". I think l got that right, but you know what I'm talking about. Fascinating times we're in.
No governments. God's Natural Law.
London fog!
John Lennon's Imagine is based on a poem written by Yoko Ono. Did you know that. So now it's co-written by John and Yoko.
IWhat planet are you living on .Come On Catch Up ! Peace And Love Baby !
This was my Class Song. Absolutely Love This Song!!
Nice song... First comment first like.. Give me some love🤭🤭 i fully support bro
what's with the mayo
It’s easy to remember!
The haters can't get their storey straight if they say anything remotely like not wanting to live under a one world government, because that's what living by God's rules actually implies. So the real problem seems to be stupidity.
The thought you had about people seeing division. Not true
Yeah it's not political it's just lets stop the bullshit
Be sober minded with this song although it appeals to many of us we already have the contents of this song and it has brought us to ruin. We have people in countries without possessions Pakistan India and others. We have atheists by the Millions Hoover abandoned God and the church and has corrupted morality and decency. And we have our fill of those who hate our country and show contempt for our country and our traditions. The song asks you to ponder or imagine but we don't have to imagine we already have it and we've had it for a long time no religion no possessions and no God and no country and look where has gotten us I'll say that again look carefully the state of our condition things could not be worse because we have abandoned God tradition family honor and Country why because of a song it's bigger than that we have all been led down the path of a false freedom that puts pleasure and Delight ahead of everything else and has glorified man rather than God.
What ever you agree or disagree with it, it is certainly a song to be taken seriously. John Lennon had his flaws and some of his music was pretty mediocre, but, on the back of this song, I have to admit that he was indeed one of the greats.
Singing "imagine no possessions" from inside his mansion...
Just my opinion. I love the Beatles, love the melody of this song, but this song is extremely overrated.
Singing 'imagine no possessions while sitting at a grand piano inside a mansion is silly.
This is an awful song.
A world without rules or God or any restraint whatsoever. And look at what the world is now.
Thanks John, you led us to a great life...yeah.
WORST SONG EVER
