IMAGINE - John Lennon - 50 some years later and this song is still so powerful

[adambar]

A timeless song that will always be relevant. Rest in peace John and thank you brother.

great song, nice thought but how things are going around the world all I see is selfishness, greed and a lot of 'I'm alright Jack' attitude.....everyone that has some misfortune even by their own incompetence seem to be looking to blame someone else......

Sorry I'm just fed up with it all - could do with some bloody good news for a change.......

I love John Lennon for his pacifism, but not for his atheism.

So I do not like the first verse of "Imagine" at all:

"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky"

I won't engage in a debate here but I will say that verse is something that, as a rational thinker, I like very much.
