John Lennon Isolation

[idioticscheme666]

WTF! That holocaust picture scared me!

[GamereactorChanoir]

Comments about people dropping dead and raping buttons... Not sure how John Lennon would've felt about that.

Oh wait, "Imagine".

[lillie1951]

Possibly the greatest songwriter who ever lived.

You can hear the emotion in his voice.

[motysta]

Great song and beautiful scenes, breakdown at 1:37. Why? I wonder.

[emmams02]

I love this whole album so much that it feels part of my soul.

John Lennon might as well have lived in a different Universe from the rest of us, as nobody will ever come close to his wonderful mind.

[emmams02]

Everybody in the world should be able to relate to this song???

[MrNCOA5]

This song gives me the goosebumps every time I hear it. A masterpiece from a great album- so powerful and touching. The world is bleaker without John here- a genius for all time.

[lamielentuventana]

Belleza total! Gracias Lennon por tanta música!

[AlexisYsaia39]

TEMASO... Escuchen

[mrcraplist]

a very very great song .... to bad he is dead because i still remember hem

[harri21hi]

Fantastic song as all of them

[FansFiltration]

John Lennon knew of the "Lie". That is why they killed him!

Don't believe the "Lie". His killer was a tool of the 1%.

Lear about the subject of "Gang Stalking" and "Cointelpro" and see how they apply.

See the film "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" for all the reasons for his death.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

[Bobjb999]

@FansFiltration Lennon erred in living where weapons designed to kill other humans are widely viewed as sexy&desirable.Odds of his being shot in England would have been almost zero.The US?Not so far fetched.I imagine many American men have such fetishes about guns,it gives them hard-ons to handle one.In every other western nation in the world,the general view of handguns is they're an ant-social obscenity.Is it any wonder the US has by far the highest murder rate&gun-death rate in the West?Sick.

[tennis11ish]

I miss John Lennon every day. He was my favourite Beatle, from the first Ed Sullivan appearance, until that terrible day in 1980. But WAIT! The physical John may be gone, but we will always have gifts: memories, his music, his truth and love. Thank you, John Lennon.

[HTprods]

Who else thought of Dear Prudence at 2:00?

[mcgaffinbrand]

Such a REAL song...terribly missed in todays music

[MickJaggeranKieth]

Remindes me of isnt it a pity by George bolth good ones...

[thedarkdefender420]

i feel this everyday.

great words.

[uberawesomeification]

did anyone else see the iron cross @1:17?

[asskicks]

can you put the lyrics on the description? thank you

[kevindlinc]

What a fantastic muse Yoko was for John. ''Woman I can hardly express my mixed emotions and my thankfullness'' miss the hell outa ya Johnny me boy!!!

[SunnyLovetts]

Love is all!

[QAHN1]

one of JL's best, an underrated song. A++

[Heyjullian]

Mc152928

[iloveclassicrock12]

7 people do not know music and need to drop dead. damn justin bieber fans.

[fogghat25]

@iloveclassicrock12 why man? why bring up that name on such a beautiful song? fucking hell!!! your as bad as the rest of em

[YonDailyGossip]

so a pile of dead bodies was relevant yeah?

fucking idiot

[MrMsinno69]

they should let that mark chapman out of jail and e what happens what do you think yoko whos forgiven him

[gaurav1221]

@MoreEric i don't think he would love your comment tho. everyone is equal, john was too, so chill.

[kreeepyy]

I'm raping the replay button!

[shreddingNBD]

@MoreEric I like to think we're all like john. R.I.P.

[0000AllFitness0000]

Like a martyr John lived for his fans, and eventually died for them. :( Isolation....

[otacs2]

@0000AllFitness0000 What you said is beautiful

[bushkini]

GET RID OF THE GOD DAMN KILLER'S PHOTO MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jminnehan]

John was brilliant in his simplicity. A true genius. There will never be another John Lennon, EVER. I miss him soooo much.

[curb5idemusic]

life is a beautiful place to be trapped in.

[Mettwurst1stGott]

@AnaphoraDeixis No duh. No love song.

[Goldiesly]

People say last Night on Earth by Green Day sounds like it but I dont think so both these songs are awesome in their own ways, R.I.P. JL

[wasthere1]

Beautifully remote and yet it touches us with it's clarity. John had the human touch. The words to match his passion for life and music.

[PerfectSense3]

@MoreEric not like him, better and worst than him:trillons

[alexandermorison]

We're afraid of everyone. Afraid of the sun.

[LittleMissRandomMuch]

Thanks heaps this song is perfect for my English project! Much thanks xx

[interzone235]

I thumbed up BritishArrow's comment about the evil one close to the 3 mark, but on the other hand, the intensity in this part of the song, lyrics, and the following images make sense with it and I wouldn't change it, filmaker. Powerful.

[animegalc4]

i have the first picture of him in this video hung up on my dining room wall

[VictorCristobalHdz]

If exists a definitive piano ballad of John, it must be this and not Imagine!

[mgdivad]

learning how to cope without people in my life has made me so much stronger.

[0136ron]

哀しいけどあまりにも美しい曲だ

[kjohn919]

green day did it beter

[yeahyeahyaha2]

@kjohn919 HAHAHAHAHA

[berkeleycook]

I didn't look at video yet. But my intrepretation of "Isolation", after listening to it a million times, is that John is saying he and Yoko were isolated because of their fame. A very personal song. But also can be extended to humankind's isolation.

I will listen again to rethink my position. If it is a holocaust picture, it might go better with that song, freeda people now.

[twinoak170]

Happy Birthday John. You have no idea.

[jasonpp1973]

Reminds me of Pink Floyd song!

[notmrblond234]

@jasonpp1973 Roger Walters actually said this was one of his favorite all time songs

[Mettwurst1stGott]

@notmrblond234 Waters liked it? I guess!! Awesome song.

[kickass3460]

Great song

[acrid506]

You can convert thiss to an mp3 at ezmp3grab..com

[elfadellaluna]

@MoreEric Oh, I'm crying for the beautiful things you wrote *-* Love John Forever ♥ ♥

[smedly500]

This song is brilliant

[videogamenostalgia]

//O-j-O\\

[AmenChangeThaWorld]

Love&Peace too all Living things.

[shanehenning26]

[Xmenfan246]

Personnel

John Lennon - vocals, piano, organ

Ringo Starr - drums

Klaus Voormann - bass

[shaneh1983]

great song

[beatlesnumber9]

Where have all the Lennon fans gone? My hero;) Love ya Johnny. RIP

[reid2711]

the one and only John Lennon, The guy who tried to change the world, if only he knew he really did, there will never be another!!!

[Psicobeatle]

The first chord seems like the intro of "Foll on the hill"

[kevindlinc]

My Christ Johnny sure let us into his life ,he really exposed his soul.

[lennonvids]

does john inspire anyone else to want to learn piano?

[jjws]

@lennonvids he inspired me to learn guitar...close enough?

[roostr20]

@lennonvids Harmonica here, mate

[spaceacejay]

@lennonvids Does it count if he inspired you to become a musician, and still does?

[dcraigwise1]

@lennonvids ...LOL... He inspired me to play guitar with the darn thing up to my neck and that is a habit I have been unable to kick...LOL...

[giligara30492]

Love this song. His voice is supreme, and the melody is mind-blowing. And don't even get me started on the lyrics... Genius!

[viciousbloodbath]

What a cool song!

[seanyinabox]

i think green day stole the background music for their song last night on earth

[Aphrodite1979]

at 1:05...does anyone have any idea who's painting/picture is that? like who is the artist?

[nancyl2]

John was deffinently making people think. Establishment and control, believe me John Lennon knew alot more then he said, He used his music to say it all. :-) Imagine is one of my fave's and WOW if that doesn't show you what he was about nothing will. Peace and Love. JOHN WE STILL LOVE YOU and your Yoko, still holding strong.

[nicko978]

the song has many meanins. people behavior in general. how we are all living in fear.

more importantly he is singing about himself and yoko. They couldn't trust anyone. Their influence on the "revolution" crowd was so powerful that they had ruthless enemies. They feared for their lives.

[pompeymega]

great song, love the maximo park version :)

[lapislazuli7]

Does anybody have a clue about whom he is singing? "After you`ve caused so much pain..."

[flensdude]

That's what I love about Lennon's songs. You can interpret them in so many ways. He was the best lyricist I know about, and a very simple, yet great philosopher.

[nicko978]

could be paul, people in general or the agencies that were watching him. They were so scared of john's influence that they had him killed. at least thats what i think.

[sharkey4123]

I suppose it could be interpreted many ways , for me I'd think it's everyone else causing him and yoko pain, which is similar to "everybody trying to put us down".

I may be wrong, I may be right, but that's the way I see it.

[beatler11]

29 years ago. I was watching Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell announced on the show that John Lennon had been shot. Still brings a chill when I think about it....

[weenyone]

They had met on at least one occasion in the previous 5 years which I suppose it hit home to Howard. Elsewhere on youtube Cosell does a TV interview with Lennon recorded in 1974/75

[Wardimus83]

RIP John Lennon :(

[BritishArrow]

great song but i dont think the infamous photo of killer should be in this tribute.

[LuminousScope]

@BritishArrow I know right thats kinda morbid

[Tall58]

Your the "BEST" THANK YOU ! JOHN LENNON. For your music. Help me play my Harmonica ! Still thinking about JOHN LENNON........Sam & ED ....Thank You! I mean that from my "HEART"

[alohaoaloha]

Thanks for the kind words.

[goldie9o9]

so what is your something?

this song means everyting of our lives

s'nt it?

[fossie32]

I love this song :)

[lucaslmgv]

viados

[789pequignot]

great song

[scottsterman1]

Great song. Interesting choice of gory pictures though.

[doncorleone7889]

One of my favourite songs. Why the corpse pics though?

[lucaslmgv]

Because it's cool xDDD

[goldie9o9]

please do not remove it.

it is supreme one.

[alohaoaloha]

thanks, I'll never remove it:p

[NonchalantAlchemist]

My favourite John Lennon song.

RIP <3

[roteNatascha]

the pic w/ the corpses is really distasteful. come on! you wanna shock or what? really you could at least show a little bit respect. and it's really thoughtless to pick such photos cause you don't know who took them. they could have been taken by the murderers as a souvenir.

[mannypanny268]

yes true true girl.. show some respect!

[alohaoaloha]

you're talking about the holocaust picture?

[ECM630]

Really? You think that someone had a few hundred malnourished/starving people just sitting in their basement and when they all died they picked them up and piled them together and took a lovely group photo so everyone could remember the fun times?

I'll defend this man to put what ever picture he wants to a song. If he was to put a video of two turtles having sex to the National Anthem I would let him. Free expression!

[alohaoaloha]

On that verse Lennon is talking about the pain that human caused to other human being. And because Lennon lived in the 20th century I thought I should put there a picture of the 20th century's greatest pain. Not a picture from the crusaders, or french revolution. And also a picture that is important for hole Earth. Not just a territorial place. So...WW2 was my answer. Anyway, watch the video, try to see the massage and think of better times.

[roteNatascha]

i know watch you mean ecm630. i didn't know that the ss-men were capable of that stuff. but this summer i worked on a project with an professor for history and i was watching interviews from survivors of the ns-time. we were supposed to make a video and i wanted to use some of the pictures that were taken of the dead people in bergen-belsen and then she told me she wouldn't use the pictures, because we don't know who could have taken that, and she explained to me that there really where ss-men

[roteNatascha]

who took pictures of the concentration camp. or do you think american soldiers to photos of germans bruning the corpses of the people who where killed in the gas chambers. whatever. you're comparing shagging turtles to the living hell that were the concentration camps. intresting. i'm only saying that one should always check from where the picture are from that he or she is choosing and not just pick some really disgusting ones from the internet. but apart of that, the videos qute nice.

[alohaoaloha]

Anyway. I just haven't put the picture tehre to disgust someone. I just wanted to make a very realistic view of our world at this moment. We still have war, we still have pollution, we still have fears, we still have politics, we still have genocide, we still fight for money all life and rarely spend them for our peace of mind or our human brothers help.

[roteNatascha]

okay i totally aggree with you on that point.

[britsin]

agreed.

[jpmorales11]

@alohaoaloha But I think that lennon is not talking about physical pain especially.

[TheBeatles433]

Gr8 Video! 5*'s! R.I.P My Hero.

[caitg1]

I wish this song was more popular because its beautiful.

[MisterComunista]

You're just a human, a VICTIM OF THE INSAINE...

[Roccia24]

yes this is by far onew of his best songs.

such a shame this song didn't get enough credt.

and i agree this is probably bettrt than imagine.

[NCOA5]

A fantastic song which cuts to the bone-one of Lennon`s finest and there were many great ones. It is raw emotion by a genius whose life came to an abrupt end at the hands of a maniac.

[superfuzzymomma]

Ditto viv1507!

[vivi1507]

the tradicly ironic thing is that this song seems perfectly suitable to mark chapman. i´m sure that if he listened to this song nowadays he would cry - because, in a way, he was "a victim of the insane".

love you john!

[SuperUpstairs]

this song is much better than imagine..

[fugazivicarious1]

I think its the best of Lennon.

[kashkash]

wonderful song, no doubts one of the best lennon songs

[fariethesun]

Wow...I didn't knowing the song before. Wonderful song/video...Love it!!! 5* + fav
