  • Hi I'm the friend that got send this video. I really like it.

  • Thank you.

    The Beatles addressed a youthful audience. Later John Lennon addressed a post-adolescent audience. He had a poetic vision and message. His song lyrics are social commentary that can lead to introspection. The channel videos with his music are explicit graphical interpretations that are designed to lead to meditation.

  • this is one of the best interpretations i've seen, thank-you. i sent it to a young friend who only has a print version.

  • Thank you for your comment.

    Videos of songs by John Lennon have been added to the channel and more are planned. He had a poetic vision and message. His song lyrics are social commentary that can lead to introspection. The channel videos with his songs are explicit graphical interpretations that are intended to lead to meditation. He addressed a post-adolescent audience. Some of these videos contain an advisory notice at the beginning, but all of them may be shocking to a youthful audience.

  • . . . this was written in 1692. . . and plagiarised by Max Ehrmann. . . and this is the most appalling vocalisation ever!

  • another unfortunate thing about american society is that poetry must fit our conception of how it is to be read aloud and who must be reading it... no words written or spoken are the same as their conception, no poets have ever shared the same voice and no mouth is unfit to speak words profound and meaningful to them. it's not the most soothing voice in the world, but it is powerful just the same.

  • I Agree... RIDICULOUS ACCENT

  • What a ridiculous accent... Louisiana? Arkansas?

  • The author is Max Ehrmann, a poet and lawyer from Terre Haute, Indiana, who lived from 1872 to 1945.
