John Lennon - Imagine, third best song of all time. But,......

In this post I will discuss about the meaning  of John Lennon's song, Imagine. This song was chosen by the Roolingstone Magazine as the third best song of all time.

I am sure all of you are very familiar with this song. The song that was cool when listening to, and also one of the songs that make me shiver when heard.

But did you know the meaning contained in this song?. Many people interpret this song is a song that is atheist which looks at the lyrics "and no religion too". Although not expressly meaning. He wants us to be atheist and sustain our own lives among human beings so that we can love one another, but without the presence of God.

Another meaning he has seen that it is not a bad religion but religion has been used as a cover and shield to run the war. Maybe he was concerned even annoyed with conflicts in the name of religion.

This song could also mean pluralism was seen in the lyrics "Nothing to Kill or die for Living in peace". Has the spirit of universal humanism. Just like halnua with the spirit of "LC" and "RC", an organization formed by freemasonry, which is dedicated to the world of humanity, regardless of race, religion, and race.

The meaning of pluralism also found in the lyrics of "No need for greed or hunger". "A brotherhood of man". "Imagine all the people". "Sharing all the world". "And the world will be as one". Build a spirit of brotherhood to form a one world without any distinguishing.

But the point I interpret this song to create peace in the world. But it's just the philosophy of John Lennon wrote that too extreme. All that's up to you how you interpret the song belongs to john lennon imagine. But back to the general nature of a song called "ENTERTAINING".


"Imagine"

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 people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
