Imagine a Day

Product Information

Hugh from Phoenix, AzThis is one of the most overrated pop songs in history. This hippy anthem is dreary rather than uplifting; it is lyrically heavyhanded and sonically dull. I love puzzles, and Escher, and mazes, and optical illusions .... so it figures that I'd be drawn to this, even as an adult. It's one of those picture books that doesn't tell a story but instead looks to engage with children's imaginations and inspire them. Hank Zipzer, poster boy for dyslexic middle graders everywhere, stars in a new prequel series highlighting second-grade trials and triumphs. K from Nowhere, Oni hate how people are being so negative. the point of the song is imagining how different the world would be if there was none of this. and, yeah, the millionaire talked about having no possessions. LIKE YOU DONT!!! Wuss from Perth, AustraliaThis song was written about imagining the world without discrimination. He describes in each verse what the world would be like without things like heaven, hell, countries, religion, possessions and rich or poor. He does this to express his opinion of a perfect world or utopia, in which all humans form one brotherhood of man. Lennon describes the people living in this perfect world do four things; these are the last line of each verse, ?living for today?, ?living life in peace?, ?living as one? and ?sharing all the world?. Lennon realises some peoples reactions to this song would be that it is ?just another hippy anthem? so he counters this with the chorus ?You may say I?m a dreamer, but I?m not the only one, I hope someday you?ll join us, and the world will be as one?. By saying this Lennon is expressing tho the reader that this idealistic view of the world is shared by many people, and the more people that believe this the closer it will come to being realistic.

Musicmama from New York, NyThis is the greatest song not performed or written by Bob Marley. So it's #3 on my all-time list (after "Redemption Song" and "Coming In From the Cold"). As for all the people who think it's about communism or satanism or "hippie b.s.," take another look and listen and the lyrics. He's only asking us to imagine a world without all the things that people fight over, and to realize that, yes, the world, and all of us in it, can function quite nicely without them. And, even though the lyrics are what's really important, neither Lennon nor anyone else could've come up with a more suitable melody and arrangement to accompany it. It's feels sad because it conveys something none of us has ever known, but conveys the warmth and compassion of someone who realizes that whomever he's speaking (singing) to has the capacity to contribute to the beginnings of making such a world. Peace to all of you, especially those of you who disagree with (or even hate) me for writing this--or for putting down the Doors! Jay from Atlanta, GaTo Linda in London Alabama: You and your grandfather are both right, John and everyone else would say anything to make money. Even today Bianca Sanchez from Alburquerque, NmOn October 9th my sis and me go to her room and put on her John Lennon rcord on the flip side and Have a moment of Silence fir the entire song of Imagine, And all we play is John Lennon and some Beatles music. This song makes me cry!. Shepurrs from Charlotte , NcI don't see Imagine as John's attempt to push a communist regime or anything of the sort. When he says to imagine life without all the things that divide us...religion, wars, etc....he was hoping that the listener would instead start focusing on all the things we have in common with our fellow human beings who populate this planet with us. As long as we're focusing on the ways we are different and ignoring all the ways we are alike, we can never reach a true peace with each other. We continue to sort and section off various cultures for exclusion of some sort.

In the meantime, all of you people saying, "this is a good song except for the religion part." Don't you realize that that is probably the biggest thing that needs to be changed? We have all these religions, Christian, Muslim, Jewish,and we have all this descrimintion! Linda from London, AlJay from Atlanta, Georgia, why do you hate "Imagine" so much? You say that John didn't even believe in the song, but then why would he write it, and other songs like it like "Give Peace A Chance"? I doubt John would give up his possesions like cars just because of a line in the song. I mean, everyone loves possesions, and if you wrote the song (which, not to be rude, but I doubt you or anybody but John could have wrote it) you probably wouldn't give up nice things like cars for it. But I think people are getting way too worked up about what this song is all about. It's just a song about peace and love, which John greatly supported. Many things I've read about John and the Beatles say that John thought it was strange people tried to read so much into waht his lyrics meant. In fact, that's why he wrote "I Am The Walrus" during his days with the Beatles - a kid sent him a letter asking what one of his songs meant for a school project, so John wrote "I Am The Walrus", which meant absolutely nothing, to annoy people that tried to figure out what it meant. It's just a song, and as my grandfather says "I don't think they [the Beatles] were trying to do anything but sell albums." He meant that they, at least in the beginning, didn't get into making deep meanings for their songs. Just listen to the song an enjoy it, don't get all worked up about what it really means! It's just a song! (a great one, by the way!) Give Peace A Chance! Poverty and diseases persists despite the tremendous growth in the size of our economy. Garbage, waste and pollution, literally are the by-product our world economy excrete to the air, to the water, to the soil, and to other life on earth. Bev from Di, AlIt's just a simple song about IMAGINING a world without all the things that divide people...that's all. s so-called artists. However, he did say it, and words have meanings. You can't just say something and then say "Oh, I didn't mean anything by that". He was asking people to do what he was not ready to do. He was asking people to give up what he himself was not ready to give up.

a militant fundamentalist. People have free will and a choice. There is no way to FORCE people to believe the same thing you do. Since the beginning of time, fighting wars over religion has never achieved anything. As far as Capitalism goes, the Bible teaches helping others and giving to the poor. Jesus was not a Capitalist--he drove the money changers out of the temple, and taught humility and moderation in everything. Corporate greed is not godly, or Christ-like.

Martin from Nairobi,kenyaPriceless yet timeless ballad! Thanks to my dad who was and still is a Beatles fan, I warmed up to them in my early teen years! Host an open housethat invites community members to learn about protecting the local environment and water projects currently underway. The Beatles disbanded in 1970 but during the last week of December 1972 "Imagine" by John Lennon was #1... Brandon from Philadelphia, PaGreat song, it's one of my favorites. But one thing I'm not too sure about is why everyone blames Yoko for the Beatles disbanding. Sure she was a factor in it, but not as big a factor as everyone keeps saying. The Bealtes were coming apart gradually anyway. You can tell by their albums and how each Beatle was becoming more and more independent. Maybe not George and Ringo as much as John and Paul. Also, Yoko made John happy, I don't see what's wrong with that. "All great things must come to an end." Lada from Zelenograd , Russia FederationAmazing song. Very beautiful. This is how our world should be.

It is best to take a picture of the art against a contrasting, flat, one colored surface as straight on as possible. In the last year, dozens of US communities—from West Virginia to Mississippi to New Mexico—experienced devastating impacts to their water systems due to ice storms, heavy rains, flooding, drought, and failing infrastructure. These impacts require expensive repairs to ensure consistent provision of water services to communities. Due to the burden on customers to be the primary source of funding for infrastructure improvements, many people experience multi-day service interruptions because of the inability to pay increasingly higher water bills. Kim from Uk, United StatesJohn wasn't a hypocrite. When he was younger he was very angry at the world, but people change. He would have been able to give up his possessions, he proved it when he lay in bed for a week with nothing but his clothes (and wife) for his cause. It's funny how people sitting at their Interent-enabled computers judge him for having a fancy car. And someone (I can't find who) says this song is against what God wanted? It is exactly what God wanted. If you'd ever read your Bible, you'd know that in the 'perfect world' God created in the beginning, 'Imagine' was what it was like. There was no religion either, just God, and people's relationships with him.

The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful.
