Horrible socio-communist drivel from one of the men who lost prestige the most after the Beatles' breakup.
The pseudo-pacifist and politicized echoes of the flower children's era were reflected in one of the artists who had made the most genuine part of the beat generation great, ruining the social and mental setup of an undoubtedly influential man, as much then as now: how painful it is to still hear young people talk about how one must earn paradise without faith and simply by not waging wars and smoking marijuana...
Damn, the first time I read the lyrics of "Imagine" as a child, I couldn't believe what I comprehended: if a man preaches not to believe in Heaven, because it brings evil and war, he is utterly condemnable, as much if not more than a satanist...
The meaning of this album is easily comparable to the phantom anti-Bush legends that circulate and will always circulate. Nothing new, nothing old. Theories built on air.
We must discuss "Imagine", and above all, stop teaching it in schools as if it were catechism doctrine...
Musically, an almost silly thing, in which the intellectual decline of the artist due to heroin use is unquestionably apparent. A track easily reproducible with midi files.
Honor to John Lennon's assassin. He freed us from a criminal and much other socialist and repetitive music.
I would really like to see the "Instant Karma" of this preacher, or his destination in the afterlife. I would really like to see if his "Socially Useful" actions were enough for him to earn beatitude.
"The album's title track became an epochal anthem with great idealistic, pacifist meaning but an easy and catchy melody."
"Much less original and raw than Plastic Ono Band, Imagine still manages to offer a bunch of enjoyable songs at a good musical and poetic level."
John Lennon, a man, a story, a symbol... sit on a comfortable sofa, close your eyes, and instead of eating a togo, put on this song.
Imagine there's no Heaven... try... it's easy no hell below us above us only sky... imagine all the people living for today...
"Jealous Guy" is a masterpiece ballad, conceivable only by an ex-Beatle.
The greatness of this song and of Lennon lies in this: 'being beautiful and simple for what one is.'
Imagine a world where you can make a difference, a world without borders where opportunities come in cascades.
No hatred, no anger, no sadness, no depression! You are in the universe as a world citizen.
