this song is like dreaming big dreams... there is nothing wrong with dreaming big so long as you don't let dreams become your master... sure, the utopian world john paints in this song will never come to be, but it sure makes me feel good to hear it and think about it and smile that peaceful smile every now and then
This song has been "there" throughout my life. I never had any great affinity with it. Listening to your version stripped back to a simple piano and then reading the words rather than listening to John singing, brought home to me what an amazing song it is. You did a great job, thank you.
I can' t hold the tears from this song, regardless of who preforms it. My mum's all time top song, miss you mum everyday, to me you still live in this song and in your grand piano in heaven beside God, here I shed happy and sad tears honoring your soul in spirit. Be with me every time when I am on the stage. Blessed are you. Not lost in 2012 it is only a year, with silly numbers, you're living an eternal life now, where time has no real meaning, but here time and life has a limit.
I heard this song a long time ago as a child. This song was sometimes shown on TV with us. I did not know what this song was about, because I do not perceive English well by ear. Until today, it was just beautiful music by a famous author and performer. And today, for the first time, I found out what this song really is about. This song is about us Soviet children who lived without religious property and we did not distinguish the nationality of the people. We lived happily and sometimes listened to this song on TV, and did not know what was sung about us in it. Today there are a lot of lies about the USSR, do not believe what they say. Believe this song.
This is on my opinion the best song of all time... The arrangement is perfect, the melody is so simple and yet it flows so well, and even then, the lyrics are amazing, they not only carry a very deep message but are also very powerful because of the engaging trait of the active voice: "... I hope someday that you'll join us..." There is no way you don't relate to that, either being "with him" or not.
Love God first, then loving people is a lot easier. And before some small mind asks me,"Which God?", I'm talking about the only God... the one the Bible is all about... and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Lord, how much I miss him. I was a teen when he was murdered and I cried like a baby at school when I learned it. My friends told me that morning but I didn't believe them. Thinking they were playing a practical joke on me because they knew how much I loved him and his music. Back then, we had morning announcements and a moment of silence. < Not today but trust me, I'm not corrupted by it. Anyway, when the morning announcements came and I heard it from the Principle, I broke down and cried. I was inconsolable. When they had the moment of silence for him, I just laid my head on my desk and cried. Not a soul messed with me that day. Everyone knew how I felt and how hurt I was. They respectfully gave me peace and space. I appreciated that. Very much. Today so many "think" it's "a sin" but they couldn't be more WRONG!!! The world would be better than it is regarding our children if they'd left well enough alone.
i was a teen too when he died. i cried and cried when that morning my mom woke me up around 7am and told me that john lennon had died. my mom knew that i owned the "double fantasy," his supposed "comeback" album, and had been playing literally non-stopped everyday prior to his death in my record player which i bought from j.c. penney from the tips i (have) been saving at that time working as a busboy.
great stuff! what else can i say? we are lucky to be born at the time when lennon was still here; only problem is no politician listened to the messages of his song. thanks for the upload. i love it.
As an atheist living amongst muslims I have learned that the more love you give, the more you get back, I think that goes for any other combination in regard to beliefs. I dont expect ISIS to spare my neck if I showed them love ... but I would still do it, its in my heart and mind to love.
I was very with you in the beginning of your comment but love and hate cannot exist without each other. physics and philosophy will tell u that everything gets its definition by being the opposite of something else and with the free will we have, most people can choose to hate and prefer it to love. a terrorist organization terrorizes, creates anxiety in humanity in extremely destructive ways and that's a method of creating an identity to NOT LOVE. isis is a cult of hate and evil who achieve their demands by sociopathic murderous extremism. to say that you're so full of love that it has blinded u and robbed u of your basic human freedom to choose.. u choose to love an organization of snipers who shoot in the face for fun. obviously I don't know u or maybe misunderstood your message but I hope what I'm saying opens your mind a little more.
+Aurio DK Islam and ISIS is a totally different thing. As a muslim, i (and all real muslims) highly disapprove ISIS's actions and beliefs. We are as against-terrorism as you are. I am sorry though if they make you feel terrorized. We all are.
That you can love is a gift from your Creator. Manipulative, fake, human-conceived, often violent religion is the reference in this song. Indeed it produces such bad fruitage that good loving people like you stop looking for the Truth about their Creator. Don't allow the haters to take that from you. Keep searching! A world at true peace will come one day.
Art M - I suppose it is a bit like good Irish Catholics and the Catholic IRA. It's hard if not impossible to tell people apart and there is, of course, overlap. Catholics and the Mafia. Jews and Zionists.
[Imagine] Imagine não haver o paraíso É fácil se você tentar Nenhum Inferno abaixo de nós Acima de nós, só o céu Imagine todas as pessoas Vivendo o presente Imagine que não houvesse nenhum país Não é difícil imaginar Nenhum motivo para matar ou morrer E nem religião, também Imagine todas as pessoas Vivendo a vida em paz Você pode dizer que eu sou um sonhador Mas eu não sou o único Espero que um dia você junte-se a nós E o mundo será como um só Imagine que não ha posses Eu me pergunto se você pode Sem a necessidade de ganância ou fome Uma irmandade dos homens Imagine todas as pessoas Partilhando todo o mundo Você pode dizer que eu sou um sonhador Mas eu não sou o único Espero que um dia você junte-se a nós E o mundo viverá como um só.
I think that everyone needs to accept each other. Once that happens, the world will be one step closer to peace. But something all of us can do right at this moment is let go of the hatred for others, and even ourselves. A person is a person no matter what religion, race, or sexual preference they have. If everyone that wanted peace came together, they would be stronger than anything. I am a person who believes that love, and understanding creates peace. And i'm positive we will attain that peace one day. It just takes one person at a time. I used to be a hateful, spiteful, and mean person, but once I started to look around me, I knew that there was a better option for me, and that was love and peace. Peace within myself. So I know that it is possible for anybody to be at peace.
The melody is beautiful, however the words advocate subliminally a New World Order that will be ruled by the AntiChrist. Sorry to rain on your parade writers, but that is the truth. Wish Lennon had used a little different lyrics. Fortunately there is a Heaven, and unfortunately a hell. And open borders is the end of civilization as we know it. The beautiful song is too good to be true. It is a fantasy as Lennon probably meant it to be.
It's a poem, written to provoke thought. It's a tune, simple, easy chords but typically beuatiful and poignant. It's song, banged out to buy his next swimming pool. Take it for what it's worth but don't think he was a guru or worldleader or sage
What' s wrong with buyng the next swimming pool I wonder?) John's possessions are not a result of extortion, plunder, or even exploitation. His talent ( with some amount of luck as well) resulted in his mansions , cars, swimming pools etc. Nothing of the kind Rockefeller, Ford, Juan March , Soros and other tycoons did. Sage or not, in a few words John managed to express the very essence of communism as it should be and will be.
Indeed. The "original key" was not a typical key as the piano being played was tuned by ear, not by fork. That's why it's "off-key" slightly. It would be next to impossible to reproduce the original key as the song was written and preformed "originally" on that piano. Even if you somehow found that piano today, it would be tuned differently due to time itself. The word "original" almost always opens a can of worms.
This man was an inspirartion. I choose this as my song to perform in music class. R.I.P John Lennon 1940-1980.
this song is like dreaming big dreams... there is nothing wrong with dreaming big so long as you don't let dreams become your master... sure, the utopian world john paints in this song will never come to be, but it sure makes me feel good to hear it and think about it and smile that peaceful smile every now and then

No religion too ...

The greatest song ever written. Love people not money.

My gods strongly disagree with your god. Hell, they even disagree with the numbers of gods you failed counting. Try again, mate!

Fantásticas canciones de John lennon
@stanphoenix Perfect cirlce plays this in a B minor though I think. Correct me if im wrong
The world one day will be as one and live in peace. I think I know what faith Lennon was :-)
The melody is beautiful, however the words advocate subliminally a New World Order that will be ruled by the AntiChrist. Sorry to rain on your parade writers, but that is the truth.

For the intro did John Lennon do C G for left hand or C C for left hand???
this song makes me cry everytime.
imagine if I could sing this, killed it.
"you may say I'm a dreamer" (no "that" in original lyrics)
it rly doesnt matter much. it doesnt change the meaning or the flow of words. you can sing the original if you know it ^^
i love this!
