Don't bicker about how APC ruined the song, it's a cover kids! I PERSONALLY made this video and put on my 'artistic' value and views on our world.
By NO MEANS I promote WAR and VIOLENCE through the video and put the meaning of the lyrics with WAR and VIOLENCE. As I mention, this is MY artistic impressionism about the song. I BEG YOU TO LOOK BACK IN THE PAST AND THEN IMAGINE.

A Perfect Circle brilliantly covered John Lennon's "Imagine". Videos from our past about what human beings did; from the Nazi concentration camps, to the roots of Vietnam and September 11 attacks, I compiled a chilling and powerful images of our people. I hope in a way, this will make you look back to look forward.

i have listened to this clip many many times with this particular video and pretty much i think it this video is perfect for the song. it shows the horrows of the modern world and what man kind can do. What needs to change and it shows it will take time. Some times i think no jesus would have been good. it may not have caused holy wars and wars that have spilled over into todays life. if jesus never exsited then we would have stood a better chance in peace.
Before Jesus came, people would murder one another because they didnt like the way eachother looked or didnt like what oneanother had to say. Could you "imagine" CivilEngTech if someone didnt like the way you looked and decided to murder you? Could you "IMAGINE" a world without God? Bigamy was the problem! people claiming their actions were in the name of God and didnt really belive! FYI Im Canadian, but and example is an example. So... thank you! Have fun in April as it is your only holiday!
it conveys the tone/intention of Maynard's voice. Lennon's version was in a hopeful major key wherein this is in minor key. i'm not a musician but an artist, so maybe i'm wrong, if i am the intention is still correct and apparent.
People love to argue, just look at the comments, you got people arguing over something as petty as which song version is better, over a song with a video and message like this!, PRICELESS! LOL.
This video is somewhat overwhelming and intimidating. But I do agree with what you said...we need to learn from our mistakes. Look at the wars and fights from the past. All the anger and hatred that I see in these pictures actually scared me. Am I a drama queen? Possibly...but, Lennon is an awesome writer and singer. This video showed a lot of emotion. Very good!
Ha its hilarious that you say that cause i just read a journal that discusses how people point to history to prove that human violence is innate. Yes violence is common in history but there are also millions of people who have rejected violence in history. It all depends on our social environment, which is why SOME people are violent, not all. Therefore violence isn't innate (or part of human nature)
