Imagine a Day

Product Information

Kimberly from Landing, NjIf we all imagine, but find the secrets of our conduct. Then we resolve ourselves. Try, try ... for what we see has to become our brotherhood. Remember. Alec Thorp from Yorktown Heights, NyThis is one of the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life. Linda from London, AlJay from Atlanta, Georgia, why do you hate "Imagine" so much? You say that John didn't even believe in the song, but then why would he write it, and other songs like it like "Give Peace A Chance"? I doubt John would give up his possesions like cars just because of a line in the song. I mean, everyone loves possesions, and if you wrote the song (which, not to be rude, but I doubt you or anybody but John could have wrote it) you probably wouldn't give up nice things like cars for it. But I think people are getting way too worked up about what this song is all about. It's just a song about peace and love, which John greatly supported. Many things I've read about John and the Beatles say that John thought it was strange people tried to read so much into waht his lyrics meant. In fact, that's why he wrote "I Am The Walrus" during his days with the Beatles - a kid sent him a letter asking what one of his songs meant for a school project, so John wrote "I Am The Walrus", which meant absolutely nothing, to annoy people that tried to figure out what it meant. It's just a song, and as my grandfather says "I don't think they [the Beatles] were trying to do anything but sell albums." He meant that they, at least in the beginning, didn't get into making deep meanings for their songs. Just listen to the song an enjoy it, don't get all worked up about what it really means! It's just a song! (a great one, by the way!) Give Peace A Chance! The unity in God simply can not produce divides. Itâ??s our imperfect understanding and actions alone that produce the divides and blinds us from the unity that binds us. And it seems to me, diversity is Godâ??s way of saying, â??unite all believers of the world !â? in the style of the Marxian version for workers. This is so apparent when one reads the sacred scriptures of the worlds religions. One would find so many overlapping essence throughout, expressed in different wordings, in different languages, and in different contexts, with the prime example being the â??Golden Ruleâ? : Love thy neighbour.

Those who believe that Jesus is God are not burdened by him but liberated by him from worldly things. Jesus taught us to wipe the dust off our feet as evidence against those who would not believe the Word of God – not to harm non-believers. Lennon suggests that religion is responsible for man’s inhumane actions to his fellow man. Though this may be true of those with twisted concepts of their religion, it is not true of real Christians. The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful. Maybe what John really meant for us to do on hearing his song, was not to become atheists, anarchists, hippies, or communists for that matter, since a man of Johnâ??s stature should long ago have lost the interest in the glitter of isms. I cannot understand Thomson's choice to keep the smaller words in her poetry, unless it is to help younger readers understand what the text is saying in a grammatical way... except it isn't the point of poetry to teach those concepts, but to invoke feelings and wonder in the reader. Galda, Cullen and Sipe says, “Poetry is intense, an intricate combination of the sounds, meanings, and arrangement of words to call attention to something in a fresh, compelling manner.” (139). However, sometimes she uses great alliterations such as “cut and stitch a city from the starry sky” which uses the “S,” “T,” and “St” sounds repetitively. Her metaphors and similes make sense and can be understood by younger readers (“wheels grow wings”) which is very important when it comes to poetry for younger ages because if the metaphors are way too complicated, the author risks losing their audience's attention and understanding of what they've written.Jane from Silver Spring, MdLennon was not asking us to imagine a heaven, seeing as part of the song is "imagine there's no heaven" Jcooltrane from Philadelphia, Pathe concept of this song is basically the principle i live my life by ... we are all just human beings ... the arbitrary separatist institutions ie. religion, politics, class, etc. that's all man made and thus doesn't have to be. great song!

Jay from Atlanta, GaTo Linda in London Alabama: You and your grandfather are both right, John and everyone else would say anything to make money. Even today So I would say, religions are expressions, the diversity. While towards God and in God, essence and unity emerge. Meaning, we should be humble in our imperfection, in our imperfect understanding of God, in our imperfect strife towards God, and learn from our mistakes and from each other. This should apply for any open minded atheist too, since they too are destined as imperfects, with their own ideal and their imperfect understanding of it, or more precisely, of religion and the Ultimate Reality. Hugh from Phoenix, AzThis is one of the most overrated pop songs in history. This hippy anthem is dreary rather than uplifting; it is lyrically heavyhanded and sonically dull. Bianca Sanchez from Alburquerque, NmOn October 9th my sis and me go to her room and put on her John Lennon rcord on the flip side and Have a moment of Silence fir the entire song of Imagine, And all we play is John Lennon and some Beatles music. This song makes me cry!. s so-called artists. However, he did say it, and words have meanings. You can't just say something and then say "Oh, I didn't mean anything by that". He was asking people to do what he was not ready to do. He was asking people to give up what he himself was not ready to give up.

Maggie from Atlanta, GaMany people think that this song is about giving up religion and living life like a communist blah blah blah... actually, if you actually break it down- Lennon was just saying that leave your religion in a private place, don't worry about heaven or hell and just live for today, don't live for the fear of going to hell or for the promise of heaven, live today with your fellow human beings. Don't worry about your material things, the only things that truly matter in life are human connections and right now there are so many blocades like religion and class in the way of our connections. Live life for today. Sibella from Pretoria, --Anyone who has a problem with the religion part, please read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins! Besides, religion so often has the most socially destructive morals that completely defy the natural being of human kind! Think about the Taliban for instance! Martin from Nairobi,kenyaPriceless yet timeless ballad! Thanks to my dad who was and still is a Beatles fan, I warmed up to them in my early teen years! Raheem from Sewell, NjThere has been more killing in the name of communism in the 20 century than any crusade or any religious war. The thought of religion causing war is just ignorant to me. If you think this song is not a communist propaganda piece than your not paying attention.By the way, A great song. Brad from Lexington, KyTears fill my eyes as I read some of the hateful comments posted here by certain idiots who are unfortunately exactly the kind of people that will keep John's hopeful dream in this song from ever coming true, at least not in my lifetime or for several generations. R.I.P. John Lennon 1940-1980

Anyway, that's not what this song is about anyway. This song is just asking people to think. It seems like nobody thinks anymore, everyone just accepts their life and what they are told. Just live your life, and allow others to live theirs. Emi from Dallas, TxThis is my all time favorite song. He is simply asking us to imagine a world in complete peace. That the world could be as 1. and not be divided. its a truly inspiring song. Bring Imagine a Day Without Water into the classroom.A sustainable water future will depend on the success of our next generation of water leaders. Develop contests or curricula that engage students on the value of water and encourages them to share what a day without water would mean to them. Tommy from Tulsa, OkPerhaps it would be served better if you actually did what the song suggests.. instead of trying to analyze everything about it.. It's not about the millions of people in this world working against peace, it's about the millions of others who work for peace throughout there everyday lives. "You may say im a dreamer, but im not the only one" It's real, it's wise, and it's among us.

If the Lord had so willed, He could surely have mankind one community following Islam, but they will not cease to disagree, except him on whom the Lord has bestowed His Mercy, and for that did He created them, and the Word of the Lord has been fulfilled:" Surely, I shall fill Hell with jinn and men all together.
