I honestly believe that Imagine by John Lennon is one of the best and most important songs ever written and performed, I'm sure many of you will agree with me about that. I'll tell you why:
The song is emotional, and more importantly truthful. Although, perhaps it has shows of sadness I believe that the song is very encouraging because it makes you think.
"Imagine there's no heaven, Its easy if you try, No hell below us Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people, Living or today,
Imagine there’re 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 I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one,
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for grief or hunger, Or brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people, Sharing all the world,
You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one."
The song words, as you can probably tell are incredibly thought provoking. Read them out loud even sing them to yourself. I'm sure the song will strike a chord in you. ‘Imagine’ is a superb song - a song full of hope, and most importantly reflecting Lennon's lust for World Peace. I feel that the tone of the song is just right, and is both a 'feel good' song but shows a really important message to the world.
John Lennon was shot dead my Mark Chapman in New York 1980 and even today people pay tribute to him. This song was released in 1971 and also last year and sold millions of copies throughout the world. I do believe that this is the single most inspirational song in the world, and should be heard, sung, even cried by all who wish to do so.
It didn't matter that the song was a huge success, I'm sure the money had nothing to do with it - the message that the song sent out is the most important aspect. If you can take 5 minutes to think of the song words, "Imagine all there's no heaven/no countries/no possessions" "Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too," I think that he's saying that it doesn't matter that we have different religions, and it shouldn't lead to people killing one another, what would the world be like if we were all the same? The fact that the song is called Imagine shows that his Dreams have not yet come true, I hope that they will, but to sing this song to the rest of the world is just inspiring to say the least.
"You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, And the world will be as one."
This means that if everyone felt like he did and shared the same attitude then the possibility, the task of World Peace could some day be achieved.
John Lennon really lets it all out and opens up in this song to the benefit of many people. The song is accompanied by piano and contains no complex language, the simplicity of the words, emphasizes the complexity and importance of the message that they give out.

Advantages: All the songs are classics, contains songs I didn't already have on loads of other compilations! Disadvantages: Didn't include the No. 1 from the Channel 4 Top 100!
Advantages: one of the best albums ever made Disadvantages: shame Oasis couldnt continue their greatness with 'Be Here Now' and Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants'
