“Imagine” was the most successful single of John Lennon’s career. The song is acclaimed as one of the greatest songs in the history of music.
And it’s also one of the most commercially successful records of the past.
Listen closely to the words. Very powerful even so many years later. Such a loss when his life was ended so tragically and unnecessarily.
Will, we never have that peaceful world?
I am really beginning to wonder.
This is a very powerful song. The message still lives on.
Yes it is powerful, forever!
i think this is one of my favorite songs of his!
Yes it is a timeless classic.
Ah yes, Imagine…. Thanks for sharing this one. I had to listen to it again. 🙂
So powerful right Kim!
One of the consequences of being on the media all the time, just as Prince Harry & Megan speak about the press hounding them consequently.
The Beatles are no different
People who sing songs and are famous are just human, none are different than that.
I don’t think I would like to live in the public eye all the time and have no privacy.
Sorry the nutter shot John Lennon..a real tragedy and those people should be left to live their lives out in their own world , not have their personal lives made into public entertainment.
I enjoy their music to this day. Very sad life entertainers often have.
It is really sad when Mark Chapman did the unthinkable of killing the Dreamer.
Yes all of the tragedies are heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, John passed away too soon. He was a wonderful singer
Yes he did, a life taken too early.
So many are taken away too soon. And senseless the way this one happened.
Yes, this song is wonderful and hopeful. When the tragedy occurred I was still living and working in NYC
It is a hopeful song. Funny how songs can remind us of where we were in life.
It’s surely his best song, dear Carol …. it’s a pity he ended his life so quickly and in such a tragic way
Yes a classic song for sure. A life taken too soon. No doubt.
I don’t know … As I read “Power of the People,” I like it more
I like many of the songs too.
Some of the lyrics to Power to the People…
A million workers workin’ for nothin’
You better give ’em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town
Singin’, power to the people, power to the people
Power to the people, power to the people, right on
Thank you for sharing this classic.
You are very welcome, I love this one.
Wow, it is a beautiful song. I love it. I will put in my list of songs.
Was he murdered? And, why,?
You have never heard this song before? I am so glad I shared, it is a timeless classic. Sad story. The killer wanted to be famous and he thought that if he killed John Lennon he would rob his fame.
There are many stories online you can read about it. Here is one:

I have never heard the song. I’m glad you did.
That’s weird. Thanks for the link.
Do you remember The Beatles? He was a part of that legendary band.
Yes, I remember the Beatles. He used to sing with the group before going solo, right?
Yes that is correct.
This CD is in my car stereo at the moment. — This is a great song 🙂
Never gets old right Howard!
Right, it never gets old – but I did somehow. Oh well….
Ha, life happens Howard. 🙂
It is so sad and unfair that John Lennon died in such a tragic way. This song is beautiful, it was selected as the best of XX century in many publications.
I comply agree with you. A senseless murder. So many of those have happened. And continue to happen. Imagine if he were still alive. The songs he would have written. I have lawyers loved the lyrics to this song.
The killer wanted to be famous and he thought that if he killed John Lennon he would rob his fame. Horrible. And it is true, Lennon would have written so many and beautiful new songs
Yes I remember the story well. Heartbreaking.
