5.0 out of 5 stars The Archetypal Social Justice Anthem, March 9, 2008

By	Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews

John Lennon's "Imagine" set the standard for socially conscious artists since he first sang it back in the '70s. It's an idealistic song, about an end to religious strife (is it even more timely now,when people are persecuted and killed for their religious beliefs in Tibet and Darfur?) It's about an end to nationalism... again, what's wrong with that?

Lennon knowingly sings,"I'm a dreamer, I know I'm not the only one." He knew that world peace couldn't be achieved in his lifetime,nor that it would be. He hadn't become jaded. He remained idealistic to the end.

Some condemn this song as a pinko Communist anthem. When Lennon is singing about Heaven and Hell, it's more about how we make this world. As for the "nothingness",he sings of it in a Buddhist sense. In Buddhism, the bliss of nirvana is nothingness,and unity with everything. It's not an abysmal void. Some have claimed this song is terrible at graduations (especially Christian ones) and that it's a bad influence on youth. What's wrong with a little peace,love, and understanding? It's true we can't achieve a perfectly peaceful world and universal harmony,but shouldn't we imagine a better world,and at least TRY? Give peace a chance!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic!, January 1, 2008

By	Gricycle "uriel81" (Oceanside, CA) - See all my reviews

5 stars, buddy. 5 stars if not MORE! Stop with the Neocon crap. You've ruined the damn country, already. I'm aware that we no longer teach art in school. The song is a meditation, alright, the man is thinking. A peace classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, December 3, 2007

By	Andrew (United States) - See all my reviews

This song is simply amazing. Can i say more? The song asks you to imagine a better world full of peace. Its John's dream and every time i listen to it i get chills. His voice is just that beautiful.

This song and "Working Class Hero" are must haves.
