Imagine a Day

Product Information

In the meantime, all of you people saying, "this is a good song except for the religion part." Don't you realize that that is probably the biggest thing that needs to be changed? We have all these religions, Christian, Muslim, Jewish,and we have all this descrimintion!

Most of the things Lennon imagines getting rid of are things that most (though, of course, not all) people like. Most people want to imagine their loved ones in heaven looking down at them, for example, and wouldn't the Olympics be boring without countries? How this somewhat bizarre song became one of the "best of all times" on various lists is beyond me. Idea #1: Share the Night book with your students first. Read it and show the pictures so they become familiar with the way the book works. Then, introduce them to the Day book, only this time, have them close their eyes as you read the poetry and try to imagine what the picture could look like. Have them describe what they think it could be, or what they would draw/paint if they were creating the illustrations. This could lead into a discussion about metaphors and similes as they try to explain with words what they see in their minds (soft like a cloud, etc). It should also help them to focus on the poetry which is overshadowed by the dramatic illustrations.When a person doesn’t have water, they cannot stay hydrated, prepare meals, bathe their children, wash their hands, flush the toilet, or do laundry. Further, communities can’t put out the wildfires that increase each year as a result of the warming climate, farmers cannot water their crops, and our nation’s public health and safety are compromised. John from AlabamaI think this is a top 5 all time best songs ever written. Personally, it was the music that made me want to listen and could care less what his political views are. I think it's great that he has an opinion and the right to express it, even if I don't agree. He's a musician and not a politician, I could care less what his opinion on how to run a government is. Enjoy the music. Kristian Roberts from Swansea, WalesJohn Lennon was a good man who taught this world alot of things and he will live forever Easter 0033±, Jesus offered you and I, and Lennon a heaven where even such hypocrites - with a little faith are welcome.

Alex from Rialto, CaI was writing a post on my blog about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and this song was playing. There was just something about the contrast between the reality I was reading and writing about and the song I was hearing and singing that nearly made me break down in tears. Stephan from Pw, NyBrandon, this song refers to a perfect world, and in a perfect world Religion and Nationalism have no meaning so you would be wrong with your assumption, this song is how ever about a perfect world which is the only way "Pure Communism" would work, but the only argument I see is that made by the Capitalist pig-dogs, who refuse to believe that a legend such as John Lennon could possibly sing about a Communist Utopia.

Jay from Atlanta, GaEven John himself said "Life is what happens while you're making plans". So, while you're "imagining" the world will be passing you by. I think that the first idea of the writing of the song 'Imagine' came from the song 'What's Going On' written and sung by Marvin Gaye in 1971. Because the song 'What's Going On' was very famous for writing against the Vietnam war and became a big hit at that time. So everyone must had known about the song. So had John, too. Also 'What's Going On' was released in Jan. 1971. John started recording the album 'Imagine' in June 1971, according to Wiki. If it was true, I think John must had been influenced by the song 'What's Going On'. The rest is history.Dan from Coos Bay, OregonJohn Lennon's imagined heaven encourages a lifestyle of unrestrained debauchery. Lennon disdained systems that might restrain his own lifestyle. Greed for worldly fame and possessions is antithetical to concepts in this song like brotherhood, love, and peace. Lennon hypocritically imagines eliminating the one who had no place to lay his head – Jesus, and all those who would deny themselves and take up their cross to follow him. John was not the first to imagine such a place as the first one with such an imagination presented himself in the Garden of Eden. Many like John get to know that snake very well and learn to write his deceitful and hypocritical song lyrics. The brotherhood of debauchery is strong but will be overcome, not by might, not by power, by the spirit of truth.
