Every I find myself thinking, "Man, we couyld really use John Lennon right now." It doesn't stop with him though. Change for good is in all (most?) of us. It begins and ends with you, not someone else.
@borntrippin Me too. I was only 10 years old but my brothers and sisters (even my mother) explained me about that and who was John Lennon. That was very sad.
@PizzaHutBrover US won my ass! John made it into the states no matter all their efforts to keep him out, both with ostility, and actual and factual attempts, by seeking his past, and all possible reasons to keep him out. He made it in, he sang his soul out for us, and we heard him! he died? no he will always live in the hearts of who listen to his music! his ideas, his thoughts and his genius is never forgotten as long as we remember it, i for one will pass it to my son and so on
@PizzaHutBrover Learn the facts before you make wrongful and untrue comments. John won actually despite the best efforts of Nixon to deport him. In 1976 Lennon was granted his green card allowing him to remain permanently in the United States. And when he was murdered by that cockroach Chapman, most of the U.S cried and mourned him. I would call that a John Lennon victory....
Tupac Shakur was a rapper his best stuff wasnt songs like Thug Passion. The best stuff is stuff you dont hear on the radio.Tupac had an FBI File, If you know anything about John Lennon, he was anti-establishment as was Bob Dylan. John Lennon had an FBI file Why? Well he spoke out against an UN-declared, UN-Justified war and was started on a lie. John Lennon had a huge following, dont believe me just look at what he did, he got a million people singing give peace a chance in Washington Dc.
There are conscious song writers, anything that is reflects/controversial what goes on is Underground. Mainstream music are all Club Beats, that's what it's all about these days are nice cars, money and women. Those things are nice, but unlike John Lennon, they don't speak out about it, and talk about it in their songs. I'm not saying everyone underground is conscious, you gotta find the ones who are, cuz no doubt some of em go to sign on to Big Record Labels.
*******"Mainstream music are all Club Beats, that's what it's all about these days are nice cars, money and women. Those things are nice, but unlike John Lennon, they don't speak out about what goes on and talk about it in their songs"**********
Out of all of the artists that died too young, John Lennon was the one that really struck home for me...I wish he was still here, but then again, who doesn't? Music could be so much better today
People always say 'nobody writes songs like they did in the 60's/Beatles /Stones etc - modern music sucks' - why? because artists reflect their environment as something else /music/sculpure whatever - and the 60's was the most positive vibrant time in history. Otherwise 60's bands would still be writing iconic fantastic tunes today - but they're not. Not the beatles, the stones - nobody.
I am a conservative republican....I LOVE THIS SONG...because it speaks to me in my own way. Which is the way John Lennon wanted it to. It doesnt matter who you are. He wasn't talking to me or YOU!.....If you interpret the song in a positive way for yourself then great.......I love John Lennon's music.
@kaymartinable my sentiments exactly - (regarding his songs - being able to identify with at least one of them (that mirrors your feelings at that time)
He really was a genius :) I still remember December 8th, 1980, hearing the sad news on the radio :( Nobody told John there would be days like that, strange days indeed :(
I dont care about opinions this song is just brings me back. I would listen to this song at the age of 11 and 12 and look out at the beatiful farm that I lived on. My childhood was so happy untill i moved to the most uninspirational house in the suburbs. I went to visit my beatiful farm house that i had to leave and instead of seeing the corn blowing in the wing with the cows and chickens grazing I witnessed a never ending townhouse neighborhood. this song brings me back to the days I was happy.
It Sounds Like John Lennon Is Saying "Nobody You Be Blackie" In A Raciest Term Or It's Sound Like He's Saying "Nobody Told You Need Blankie" Like If You Were Someone That Need A Blankie.
@IdentifiableUser It was posthumously released as a tribute album, even though he died before its release, just because he died before its release doesnt mean it wasnt made by him, it consisted of compliations of his music meant to be released on the album but he died before its actual release.
As a child I always thought he was saying, "Nobody told me there'd be lightening" funny how we mishear things. :) I am not sure which way I liked it better.
the lyrics are "There's M*A*T*C*H*E*S in the bathroom just below the stairs" - YOU IDIOT!! NOT "Nazis" !! How the hell do you hear "Nazis" over "Matches" ???!! Dumbass.....
@hazor777 Instead of hurling insults, do some research, and you'll find it is indeed "Nazis." Search any lyrics website for confirmation.
This is what is wrong with the net today; ppl. insult, curse, belittle for no damn good reason, and in this case, over allegedly misheard music lyrics? Gimme a break.
@lancasterII : Searching lyrics on websites doesn't confirm anything, pal. All one has to do is listen...besides if Im wrong, who really gives 2 shits but you, huh?
@hazor777 The fact that several websites stated the lyrics as "Nazis" definitely confirms something "pal," but if you want to hear it as "matches," that's your right to do so.
Funny you'd blow off the possibility of yourself being wrong, because you berated someone as a "dumbass" and "idiot" for allegedly being "wrong," when it was you who is incorrect. As I said, you can think he sings whatever you want, I just don't think there's a need to be abusive in "correcting" someone. Good day!
@lancasterII : Those are terms of endearment, like "My nigga" - maybe you should lighten up, "Francis". Exactly who was it that felt compelled to argue my point in the first place?? Yea, I thought so. Later My Nigga!
Not a proper beatles fan, not lennon. But loved this film when I was studying it in media 2 years ago. I remember coming into the class feeling like fucking shite with everything going on around me at home and life in general and then this song played, definately a memory burnt into my brain and felt instantly better!
@puckdogpilot I admit, I'm 10, and seriously, Modern day music is rubbish! I guess Kasabian and thenewno2 are amazing (And other rock bands), but why on earth did Chapman shoot? I would of took that bullet from Lennon :l
Is it just me, or is this song damn prophetic?!?!? All of the Beatles were/are on a whole other level...everyone keeps on trying to compare other artists to them, but there will never be others like them...they occupy that weird place where they were both meant for a specific place and time, and yet remain eternally relevant...everyone is trying to find the next Beatles, but there won't ever be!!! They were unique, that's what made them special.
@pwharris1500 "Everybody's making love and no one really cares"( most people these days are just interested in the physical part of love and not the part where one cares sincerely for the other )
Always something happening and nothing going on (something is always happening behind closed doors ie; Iraq war,911 fake presidents yet everyone just walking as if nothing is happening )
"They're starving back in China so finish what you got" (its a known fact that US and UK are wasting precious food)
@tomtomwolfwolf Thanks. I thought something in particular happened - like an event at that time. But it is just a more "general" statement about their situation. will be visiting there soon - so I will get a better picture of the "real deal"
@cuperepiki Now it's something completely different, it's more capitalist than anything else. Back when china called itself "communist" it's resources were poorly managed, and many people starved. When you'll get there, in Shanghai for example, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from Japan or Taiwan. You could say China's dark days are over.
@TheGamekid93 Haha, no I don't, I see socialism as the solution.
China, the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, those were not really communist, they were a mix of capitalist and totalitarian.
For example: there was no real distribution of wealth, an small elite minority lived in luxury while the workers starved. They called themselves socialist to keep the masses working and hopeful, and the west called them socialist to cause fear and make people hate the very idea of socialism.
@24rusguy yh am gonna just pretend you didn't say that...also did you know that 90 percent of boys will have watched porn by their 13th birthday? and don't even get me started on prostitution and the media's use of sexuality on just about every form of entertainment
@24rusguy did you just read what I said about the entertainment industry use of sexuality? Over 60% of conceptions lead to a legal abortion,the highest proportion since conceptions statistics began in 1969, you cant honestly argue with this one...According to a 2009 study by TAMPEP, of all prostitutes in the UK, 41% were foreigners - however in London this percentage was 80%, it still took place in the UK and don't even start with that whore called "US of A".. stop pretending to be asleep!
@LegendKnight93 "enothing but a dumb conspiracy theorist"...wow that was a great well thought out articulate statement please bring your fingers to type us another but just so you know next time, their isn't an "e" before Nothing i wonder if your non "dumb" mind could comprehend that in more ways than one
@TheGamekid93 I don't think anyone is just walking around as if nothing happened on 911. Everyone from my generation and the one before it knows something happened and doesn't act as if it didn't.
@1nfamoustruth i know full well that things havnt been the same since the attacks i should know i am a Muslim living in a western world, what i meant is that people are over looking facts such as; bush being friends with the bindladen's, how the binladen family were giving the rights to leave the country when no one was allowed to strange don't you think?...did you know that a survey conducted back in 05 said that over 60% of american'a thought that the Iraq invasion was because of 911 not WMD's
@mrgarymakin hahaha that's funny , you would talk about something you don't know nothing/anything about. He didn't stick w his wife the first time...how ever..Yoko Ono...he never cheated on...he got sober for her after she left him
The Beatles sang emotion...they sang about their emotions and we relate to it because they came from our class. Money is just numbers, but emotion, values that's what they and we understand.
@napeu098 i think your teacher is hinting at the innuendo of what our world is facing right now, the current changes of false democracy when your classrooms are designed to remove creative thinking and inspire the acceptance of slavery in your subconscious mind, we're told that fact is stranger then fiction but when presented with the truth it must be false because the truth has cant be that unlogical... sounds like your art teacher is one of the few still trying to inspire open thought
Occupy wall street is the most hippy thing that's happened in NewYork for a while. I saw people singing and dancing, and playing Pink Floyd songs, and when I saw this in school this song came to mind.
It also made me think of the Beatles "There's a place".
Don't even bring up Justin Bieber on a video like this. Bieber is viewed by a bunch of dumb little girls, The Beatles/Lennon are viewed by people who know real music and appreciate the older things instead of modern day garbage. The fact that people still watch this in 2011 shows Lennon is far more amazing and will always be far more amazing than Bieber ever will be. No matter how many views.
@dairien2012 Hate to tell you bro but the Beatles were the Bieber of their day. Sorry to break the news to you but its true. That whole Beatlemania nonsense was teenage girls fawning over a boy band. However once the Beatles started doing drugs thats when they became good.
Yes and no. The Beatles wanted to do something new and improve. Bands used to include good songs in singles and regular songs in albums. They changed good and regular songs in albums. that
I want to hold your hand was the 1st song recorded in a 4 track recording machine.
They used 12 string guitars since 1964.
I feel fine was one of the first songs that include feedback.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@thebobster14 Justin Bieber is totally like the reincarnation of John Lennon... in a few years, he will start doing drugs and everyone will call him a genius!
@dairien2012 you're one of the only people to bring him up :( when will people realize a post telling people not to talk about justin beiber IS A POST TALKING ABOUT JUSTIN BEIBER
@dairien2012 Man... in the 60s, the Beatles were mostly popular among a bunch of dumb little girls, and the old people did not consider it 'real music', and ranted about 'modern day garbage'. Who's to say that in 2058 the dumb little girls of 2011 won't be ranting about how much more amazing Justin Bieber was?
@BernardIsReal that might be true, but people will still hate justin bieber when hes older and plus he'll never be as wise as john lennon... and thats coming from a 12 year old
@BernardIsReal i m 14 and i prefer this to "modern music, to be honest no one has ever matched the him or the Beatles, all their songs had a message now its all about giten' drunk, beatin' on girls and fake relation ships. god damn pathetic if you ask me, how no one aknowleges the songs that are relevant to today's issues.
@dairien2012 Haha "Don't bring up Bieber". You're entire post was about Bieber you attention seeking faggot. I love losers like you who come on youtube searching for thumbs up and shit. Gtfo douchebag.
@redbuffalo15 LOL. Attention seeking faggot? For one, that was just stupid to even say and makes you looks extremely immature and ignorant. For two, if I'm such an attention seeker, you didn't help the cause by writing me this comment. If I was such an attention seeker, I would have written something guaranteeing me more thumbs up. But thanks anyway, 3 weeks later after I commented. :)

@tomtomwolfwolf Thanks. I thought something in particular happened - like an event at that time. But it is just a more "general" statement about their situation. will be visiting there soon - so I will get a better picture of the "real deal"

@cuperepiki Now it's something completely different, it's more capitalist than anything else. Back when china called itself "communist" it's resources were poorly managed, and many people starved. When you'll get there, in Shanghai for example, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from Japan or Taiwan. You could say China's dark days are over.

@tomtomwolfwolf i suppose you see capitalism as the solution... strange days in indeed
TheGamekid93 1 month ago
@TheGamekid93 Haha, no I don't, I see socialism as the solution.
China, the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, those were not really communist, they were a mix of capitalist and totalitarian.
For example: there was no real distribution of wealth, an small elite minority lived in luxury while the workers starved. They called themselves socialist to keep the masses working and hopeful, and the west called them socialist to cause fear and make people hate the very idea of socialism.

@24rusguy did you just read what I said about the entertainment industry use of sexuality? Over 60% of conceptions lead to a legal abortion,the highest proportion since conceptions statistics began in 1969, you cant honestly argue with this one...According to a 2009 study by TAMPEP, of all prostitutes in the UK, 41% were foreigners - however in London this percentage was 80%, it still took place in the UK and don't even start with that whore called "US of A".. stop pretending to be asleep!

@TheGamekid93 I don't think anyone is just walking around as if nothing happened on 911. Everyone from my generation and the one before it knows something happened and doesn't act as if it didn't.

@napeu098 i think your teacher is hinting at the innuendo of what our world is facing right now, the current changes of false democracy when your classrooms are designed to remove creative thinking and inspire the acceptance of slavery in your subconscious mind, we're told that fact is stranger then fiction but when presented with the truth it must be false because the truth has cant be that unlogical... sounds like your art teacher is one of the few still trying to inspire open thought

Occupy wall street is the most hippy thing that's happened in NewYork for a while. I saw people singing and dancing, and playing Pink Floyd songs, and when I saw this in school this song came to mind.
It also made me think of the Beatles "There's a place".

Don't even bring up Justin Bieber on a video like this. Bieber is viewed by a bunch of dumb little girls, The Beatles/Lennon are viewed by people who know real music and appreciate the older things instead of modern day garbage. The fact that people still watch this in 2011 shows Lennon is far more amazing and will always be far more amazing than Bieber ever will be. No matter how many views.

@dairien2012 Hate to tell you bro but the Beatles were the Bieber of their day. Sorry to break the news to you but its true. That whole Beatlemania nonsense was teenage girls fawning over a boy band. However once the Beatles started doing drugs thats when they became good.

Yes and no. The Beatles wanted to do something new and improve. Bands used to include good songs in singles and regular songs in albums. They changed good and regular songs in albums. that
I want to hold your hand was the 1st song recorded in a 4 track recording machine.
They used 12 string guitars since 1964.
I feel fine was one of the first songs that include feedback.

@dairien2012 Man... in the 60s, the Beatles were mostly popular among a bunch of dumb little girls, and the old people did not consider it 'real music', and ranted about 'modern day garbage'. Who's to say that in 2058 the dumb little girls of 2011 won't be ranting about how much more amazing Justin Bieber was?
