On Sunday, almost 4 million people gathered in Paris to attend a rally for unity after the horrible week they had in their city due to those murderous terrorists. During the peaceful gathering, someone played John Lennon’s Imagine, and the crowd sang along and applauded to it.
I imagine, this is what he intended his song to be used for when he wrote back in 1971. Not for contestants on singing competition shows, but for getting the word out there about peace. I wonder if he was like Nostradamus as he jotted down these words. “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” In that moment we all imagined it as we saw their heads moving to his music and heard his words coming from their mouths. Those lyrics never had more meaning than they did for those few inspirational minutes.
This video gave me chills because when we have thought of Imagine in the past, we thought of it for a time like this. It is the perfect interpretation of the World’s most powerful song ever have been recorded.
I conclude this post with another one of his songs, “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”
