John Lennon: Imagine Meaning

Song Released: 1971

Imagine Lyrics

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the...

   The meaning of this song is very simple.just think of what our world would like without government, religion and possessions. He then lends his idea of what would happen. No war ,hate nor poverty only peace. I think human nature would never allow this to happen. To many powerful people would lose said power. It's a nice thought though

   Imagine Earth. Earth without hate, earth without poverty, and earth without discrimination. Its really a wonderful thought that John Lennon tried to express through this song. Even though it will never really happen its nice to think about it

   IF John Lennon lived in a Wig Wam and ate off the land i would have more respect for the virtue of the song. It is a beautiful piece for which he deserves credit for thinking about.
   However, the reality is he was a Millionaire living in Central New York and not prepared to give a cent up.
   I think this song means more to mere mortals like me than it ever did to Lennon.
   Life is great when you are at the TOP!

   Grew up in the 50's, 60's. Beautiful melody, so soothing and the words so thoughtful. Even then I thought, "Wouldn't that be great" but the God part bothered me -- and I started to question. There is an Earth, Heaven is my belief. There is a God (my belief again). So what does the words mean? Zippo, that's what - same as "A Land of A Thousand Dances".
   I'm an idealist by nature but I wasn't on the stuff John Lennon was when he wrote his music so things with some sort of reality. Earth is a reality! Nations are a reality! "Living for today"? What about tomorrow? No war, just peace? I don't think so-against human nature. We can't even get along with our families so how are we supposed to get along with people we've never seen, whose ideology is different from ours and are shooting missiles at us?
   Music is just that, music. It is words set to a melody. John Lennon was no prophet, he was a musician and songwriter and made alot of money on it. He was not a god or a spokeman for me. He was a man - saw that when he left his first wife for Yoko Ono. Didn't seem quite right to me and that was it for me and John.

   He didn't know how close to the truth he was, after Armageddon; the bible speaks of ONE true religion and NO Hell. The world will be at Peace and No wars and all will live as ONE.

    "Imagine" by John Lennon is in the frequency of 528 Hz. 528 Hz is considered 'the Love frequency' or vibration. Ya'll are reading way too much into this song with your marxist/communist blahblah. I don't think most, if not all, of you were even alive during this time period. A period of his 'love in', meeting & studying with the Dali Lama. He was all about love, peace, & goodness.

    It's obvious the song is anti-God anti religion anti-government. Wouldn't it be great if we could all just get high and have free sex and run naked in a field of daisies? No rules no borders, no accountability!

    In otherwords for me this kool aid soul searching song, could also be understood when THINKING OUT OF THE BOX, sort of speaking. A VISION that JOHN LENNON might have had about the damage that would be done to OUR heavenly Earth by ''The Rapture'' that was set in the coming future and it's overall aftermath on this world's non-Believers and The Believers end of time prophecy. All in order to wonder and ''IMAGINE THEIRS, KNOW HEAVEN''.

    Yech. What a horrific communist song written by someone very wealthy, wealthier than most people could only imagine. And how naive to imagine that if only everyone got rid of their borders and possessions they'd all live in "peace" - HA!! Human nature is jealous, possessive, vying for power, always in upheaval and war mongering.
