________________________________________
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...


You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.


Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

i love this version. the original is too happy. it sounds so much better with this melancholic feel. love it!

[CosmicXRay]

what is the BFD?

Lennon covered others' songs

Others' cover Lennon's

What is the point in trying to sound like Lennon or The Beatles? That's an epic fail from the start.

What's to do then?

As a musician/band, you're left with struggling to come up with an inventive arrangement and/or interpretation which is not tribute band/mimickery

I Imagine Lennon, the musician, wouldn't give a shit...

Lennon's version is what can be done. This version is what could of been done.

[GangsterSkeleton]

I prefer this over the original. Sounds so much more... deep.

[Khayman8888]

@beautifullydecayen When I listen to this song, I imagine it to be the dying shell of the original, treated to brutality and atrocity, frail and in the midst of a battle zone, but retaining the same spirit in the lyrics.

I don't think one is better than the other. I think this is one of the best covers ever though, and I think it was an amazingly appropriate evolution of the original. This one seems more realistic to me, the other one seems more optimistic.

[Khayman8888]

@beautifullydecayen The sound he or she is referring to is less aptly described as happiness. But I do know what he/she means. The original has a sound of hope in it, like he could be smiling as he sings it. The music is uplifting and inspiring.

This version has more sadness and desperation, as though it's trying to remind us of Lennon's words while we're on the cusp of the end, before it's too late. This song laments that Lennon's message has not been heard.

[beautifullydecayen]

@darkdeminsion The original doesn't sound happy at all it's actually beautiful with it's simplicity, A perfect Circle just took it and made it their own which also turned out very beautiful,but I don't know how you could listen to Lennon's version and think it's sounds happy in any way...I've never heard any happiness in the song and I listen to it...a lot.

I guess that's just my opinion...

taught to fear what we don't know, starting from our childhood.... prejudices and such inhibit us from accepting anything foreign. You realize some of these things when it feels like it's too late to change anything. I really like this song, it speaks to me
