John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 -- 8 December 1980) was an English singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles, and together with Paul McCartney formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century. Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager, his first band, The Quarrymen, evolving into The Beatles in 1960. As the group began to undergo the disintegration that led to their break-up towards the end of that decade, Lennon launched a solo career that would span the next, punctuated by critically acclaimed albums, including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, his writing, on film, and in interviews, and became controversial through his work as a peace activist. He moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while his songs were adapted as anthems by the anti-war movement. Disengaging himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his family, Lennon reemerged in 1980 with a comeback album, Double Fantasy, but was murdered three weeks after its release. Lennon's solo album sales in the United States alone stand at 14 million units, and as performer, writer, or co-writer he is responsible for 27 number one singles on the US Hot 100 chart.a In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth greatest singer of all time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
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
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be 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 that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

R.i.p John Beatles rule

[Michalinho23]

It is some kind of New Age. Isn't it ?

[conorefc86]

This was his only good solo song and when he was in the Beatles they had 0 good songs. I really don't get why they are so famous.

@exerdoph

IMHO, I think John meant that if there's no heaven, we have to try and make the best we can out of this world, because it may be the only we've got. Moreover, this song is also about tolerance and saying "religious idiot" is not exactly tolerant. Even if it's true religion lead to bad things sometimes, there are messages of love and mutual respect in the Bible, Qu'ran or Torah. And BTW I'm an atheist, so I'm not trying to defend religions, just pointing out that everything is not bad.

[peterplutt2]

It's a song about a world in peace... Means people don't have the big things to argue about please atleast don't argue in this songs comment field fellow friends please don't have some respect for John

[miyoudkla]

@exerdoph yeah i think it kinda says life is better if there was no religion

[exerdoph]

@911truthseekers the song clearly says imagine there's no heaven, no religion too. Religious idiot.

[johanpavel78]

Koren,

This sums up my way of thinking.

As I said, I will always love you. Maybe it is too much for you to handle.

Yeah, I was raking the lawn today and if you even care, which I sincerely doubt.

I have a video of me, shirtless and sweating.. it is tours for the asking.

[Michael0697]

John Lennon, you are a great musician & imaginer. I hope some day, I'll join ya.
