Since Beetles Pandora has taken over my week at work, i've been rediscovering lots of musical goodies! I am a believer that yes, Yoko Ono did ruin the beetles and made John Lennon more of a weirdo then he already was. I don't listen to much of his solo stuff, but once i heard "Imagine" my thought about musical lyrics changed for good.
In a time where music was influenced by current events and being used to express so many different kinds of feelings and beliefs, John Lennon pretty much sums it up lyrically with Imagine.
"Imagine all the people, living life in peace"
Those lyrics alone say it all! The song has such a simple beauty, and i believe that it is something we all want, something we could all agree on; no heaven, no hell, no religions, nothing to kill or die for. Imagine how different life would be if these lyrics were true.
It's amazing to think of how this song spoke to so many different walks of life. I don't think another song in our lifetime could do the same. From generation to generation this song again and again can speak to everyone. Makes me cry every time i listen to it :)
