Imagine a Day

Product Information

Shepurrs from Charlotte , NcI don't see Imagine as John's attempt to push a communist regime or anything of the sort. When he says to imagine life without all the things that divide us...religion, wars, etc....he was hoping that the listener would instead start focusing on all the things we have in common with our fellow human beings who populate this planet with us. As long as we're focusing on the ways we are different and ignoring all the ways we are alike, we can never reach a true peace with each other. We continue to sort and section off various cultures for exclusion of some sort. Chelsea Girl from Cleveland, Oh"Imagine" is a very special song. It's hard for me to review it because it isn't my favorite John Lennon song an yet I believe it's probably, ultimately, his most powerful. This is a unifying song that people all over the world love and sing. Even when I hear those opening chords my mind stops and I get very misty-eyed. It really is a deep song. Absolutely one of the greatest classics ever written by anyone.

Bev from Di, AlIt's just a simple song about IMAGINING a world without all the things that divide people...that's all.Religions, nation states and the economy merely are tools . . . . . means. We should never become a tool of our tools. We should never mistake the means from the end. The means should never and can never become the end. 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. Crimp’s sources this time were a mix of European and Buddhist folk tales, and an ancient near-eastern romance, but the woman’s search is couched in thoroughly modern imagery. It turns out to be increasingly futile: the “happiness” of all those she encounters – a pair of lovers, an artisan craftsman, a composer, a wealthy collector – proves to be illusory or compromised, until finally, in a beautiful, tranquil garden, she meets Zabelle, a woman very like herself, and realises what her way forward might be.

BTW. Personal property is a right of every individual as is the size and type of car and home they have etc. "Each according to their own ability, each according to their own need" 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.We feed our fears and insecurities by saying that â??the othersâ? hates us and wants us to suffer, with the Russians a little while ago, and with Osama bin Laden recently, as the prophet of destruction. We take for granted the statement that our nation and our people must remain competitive to survive and to thrive, forgetting that in a competition, some win, and some lose, and that we can no longer afford to survive and thrive alone. Breanna from Henderson, NvHey Alif, I don't think John's discribing hevan, seeing as the first line of the song's Imagine there's no hevan! Money is the blood of the economy, and the economy is the life of everyone. Thus, to survive, one must earn enough of it, in ways and jobs often far from the path to be. Conditions seems to prescribe nations to follow that path, the path of economic growth. Our jobs often divides families and communities, and destroy nature, but more than anything, they destroy our soul. Michael from Los Angeles, CaI don't understand while people are refuting the fact that this song is about a communist utopia. 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.

Stunner from Australia, AustraliaJohn himself said "Life is what happens when you're making plans", well, life is passing you by when you are sitting around "imagining". The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful. Rabbit Bunny from Westminster MdI love Imagine! It reaches its Zenith on Johnny Rebel Acoustic comp recorded at Apollo in NYC In 1971! I will always love Johnny Rebel! Sums up true message of Fab Four! Best Beatle song band or solo!To have becomes our next goal after survival, and most of the times, they become our last. Thus, we become insensitive to the needs of others, humans or not, and ignorant to the needs of the planet.
