Reviews for Imagine Lyrics

Imagine is a beautiful tune . It is testimony to the talents of John Lennon . RIP

It is also testimony to the power of humanism as an ideology that can lure the idealist and the naive in to reaching for hell on earth . The road to hell is paved with good intentions .

The problem with secular humanist socialist globalism is that it disregards human nature :
There is no beauty with out ugliness . There is no spice with out diversity ( nations) . There are no rich with out poor (possessions) . There is no good with out evil . There is no heaven without hell . Humanity is not a generic product or a generic state of being !

The beauty of life is that we are not all the same . The beauty of life is that our creator made us all equal in spirit , but not equal in nature . And those who attempt to equalize all , are playing God so that only socialist humanist hell can be the only end result .

The beauty of life is that is not mediocrity , not at all .

Imagine a world of absolute mediocrity . Imagine a living hell on earth .

according to me the song "Imagine" by "John Lennon" is a very simple and a true effort by him to show the world that how complex we have made our life's..
how much conditioned our mind is about heaven and hell..eventho the song seems to b so easy and simple but its impact was like a Muhammad Ali's punch on my face..it truly changed my thinking and the way i live my life..
in today's world all we can do is imagine.but also try hard to change society's thinking..spread love,peace and humanity..
R.I.P JOHN LENNON..

I do not understand how anyone can blame Christianity for wars since killing is definitely and indisputably a sin .
" Thou shall not kill "

I think that people mistake the use of religion by the worldly powers for the religion itself .

Let's all try to grasp a very simple truth : If a religion stands against killing then to kill is to be acting contrary to that religion .
So that war is contrary to Christianity . Period ! and case closed . I will never hear that stupid religion equals war again .

Why has there been wars ?
Well , that is simple , wars are fought for the worldly powers quests for more power . And ironically , secular humanism is a quest by the worldy powers for more power . Imagine that !

"Imagine" is a good title for John's song but REALITY is where we have to live though..... According to evolution we are all selfish, thinking of ourselves first; survival of the fittest....
John was killed wasn't he.....The history of man is replete with war, intrigue, slavery, torture rape, killing, greed etc....That is what man's heart has at it's core, including mine, I have to admit.... unless I take on a moral standard that guides and holds me back from unleashing my baser instincts. The problem I see for man is determining who has that moral standard of truth? The best standard I have see is Jesus and what he taught, not the poor standard of most of his so called followers. Check him out. Read what he said, not the distortions of what some say he said....Christ, not religion...''

This is not John Lennon "Imagining" - this is Stoic Cosmopolitan thoughts he bring into our modern times. He's discribing one of the most influental and important filosofical persepctives people have tried to "fit into" reality for the past 2000 years and more.. Christ? what good did he do for anyone? Read philosophy people : )

We have to live in reality, but we are the architects of that reality and can make it as we so choose.
To blame evolution for things like rape, war, hatred and selfishness is inaccurate. What evolution has given us is the capacity for good or evil as we choose it. After all, evolution gave us Gandhi and Mother Theressa, just as it gave us Genghis Khan and Hitler.

Taking the easier way does not always yield the best results -- sure, its easier to wage a war then work for peace, but if we all worked for peace, there would be no war. If we all just believed in a love and understanding that had no name or face, there would be no religion, if there was no money, we would be valued on the merit of our actions, not the size of our bank accounts.

That is the point of the song; imagine a world where there is no war, no religions, no material items or classes to divide us, and unity instead of segregation. If we all imagined and achieved to make this world a reality, then it would be.

And yes, John Lennon was killed. If we were all more like he imagined, then he wouldn't have been.

To me every line of the song is true and must be in realiky in future. Where is heaven :) if we love each other without hating others then this world itself will be heavenly. We should for today only for future thinking we do fight.without boundary under UNO THE world should be united. Religion itself is good but in the name of religion innumerous bloodshed occured in the past. If there is no or at best one religion then the world be a safer place.. Without greed or hunger with universal brotherhood sharing everything among us we can make this world a heaven. So i think the expression of this song must come true. Thanks to JOHN LENNON for this immortal song.

Is a very good song. Well written, poignant, beautifully performed and executed. John Lennon was a master of music and of his voice. This song is just him trying to show us a world where people don't have to die for something like religion or like for their country.

I think John is a wonderful lyricist. His work is something that everyone can admire.

Your mind is allot like a parachute. It works much better when it's open.

Clearly when the branch is there right in front of us all, we grasp for weak limbs instead.

It's nothing more than a song by a dreamer, that wanted nothing more than the right and freedom to express himself. And nothing more than Mr Anonymous above to be able to express himself, and not have to leave it as "anonymous" afterward. Or for even "Alhat" above, to have the freedom to even criticize and dislike a song.

For all of you to just have a little freedom to express yourself. And not having to worry about someone coming along and taking that all away from you, along with your life as well as a result of it.

I totally agree with aeva, Socialism is too advanced for us humans, we'd rather select a simple system like Capitalism, which actually preserves the basics of evolution, eat or get eaten. It's a pity, even the Communist states themselves didn't preserve the ideology. How could they,when they used the same abusive methods of their enemies?

All religions are the drugs for the brains.
Allah, Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha all of them. So many men were killed for the name of different gods. (Barbarian killed for the name of those, now forgotten, gods)
Thanks Lennon, you showed the way to the new world, world without any religions.
That's sad that some people still need the "words" of Big_Brother_From_Above, spoken by the mouth of stupid, children addicted priest.

people always raise 'isms about so many things...first, the song clearly says "Imagine!"..use your mind to follow that trail and see what it makes you think/project/dream....and...what John wanted was a world without polarization, hate..'isms!, armed religions killing unbelievers...either "at the stake" or with bombs strapped to thier bellies..and if you cannot imagine that and have to fill the thought/dream with off the wall descriptors you have totally "missed the point!"..what some call "socialism"..others call "Tribal Life"..which i might add has far exceeded nation/states by many thousands of years as a natural state for humans

If there is no religion. You are like those barbarian. Killing, stealing, of course. Human will never imagine !If there is no heaven or hell. How about no world ?Nothing to live or die for right ? This song is a piece of junk..

"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 us one" I am 40 years old, a music buff and a college professor from a prestigious university in Manila.In my time I'm just an ordinary student, never had the chance to be placed on a cream section. But its true, my past doesn't define my future. One year ago, I was called by Rotary for a competition among groups of professionals who are pretty accomplished and excel on their field of expertise. Luckily after a tough competition, I was chosen to represent Rotary, Phils. to promote peace and goodwill to other people. I was sent to United States of America all expense paid and be Rotary's Ambassador of Goodwill. I believed as I sung this song during the tough interview and emphasizing the mission of Rotary is for world peace- I had pulled the judges off. This song is my winning piece. Thanks to you John Lennon.
