This was meant to be posted yesterday. I knew that I had to do it and I was going to… just slipped my mind. Sorry if anyone was properly waiting for it.

This probably isn’t going to be a very long one though. We all know it. It’s ‘Imagine’ by John Lennon. One of the most iconic songs of all time, optimistic in its message, soothing with great vocal and piano melodies too. Or the most hypocritical ‘peace and love’ BS that gets played year in, year out depending on your level of cynicism. Here was one of the richest men in the world telling me to imagine having no possessions? Who does he think he is?

That seems to be a take that a lot of people have gathered. It’s a take that made a lunatic shoot and kill him years later. I think Lennon had good intentions all the way throughout writing the song. I think some people just like to complain. I do agree that can get tiring hearing it a lot of the time. It was definitely overplayed at some point in time but I don’t think I was around then. I haven’t heard it that much lately. Maybe that’s why I can listen to it without wanting to skip. Can’t deny – it is a true classic.
