#9 Dream John Lennon

[@elishevacapobianco-s1960]

Brings me back immediately to 1974 back home in Brooklyn, N.Y. when I was 14 and later years in my 20's walking past the Dakota building to and from school and work. I will never tire of listening... hauntingly etheral.

[@scoonman]

The song simply stated, has always been just so hauntingly beautiful…

[@MichaelMcFerrin]

Legends in their time……

[@neeceythompson]

I LOVE THIS BANNGER 💜💜💜💜💜💜

This song takes me back to high school. Draggn main street n hangin with a few friends

[@Bozakky]

John would be pleased at knowing how well his craft is holding up. Sheer brilliance.

[@apsomar]

I always loved this song and even more when I knew that May Pang is the voice who whispers John's name.This song is magical

[@TheWorldTeacher]

Likewise! This is arguably his greatest masterpiece.

John evolved in his solo career to truly show the truth. They killed him because he would have awakened the entire world. Man do I miss him.

[@ladyhecate9450]

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. John's voice was so magickal. John Lennon was a genius, and on this day, December 6, is the very sad anniversary death of John Lennon. This song is one of the many songs that I love listening to John sing. He was my favorite Beatle and still is. I saw the Beatles when they first toured the USA. Girls were screaming, but I tuned them out and sat in awe watching and listening to the Fab Four perform back in 1964 and I was a mere 13 year old. I have missed you all these years.

[@david_cop_a_feel7538]

Yeah, well, he died on the 8th.

Happy 81st John Lennon The world miss's you & your voice ......

[@delmarveiga1116]

according to May Pang , "Yoko Ono has released a DVD with all of Lennon's clips. Consider the fact that there really are no videos made for the songs. These songs were made before MTV. She included the song "Number 9 Dream" on the DVD and prepared a clip. Well, during the part where I call John's name, she put herself in the video by dubbing the word "John." So if you do not know that I'm part of the process, you think it's Yoko's voice in the song ... of course. All because you've never heard another woman's voice in his songs besides hers."

[@danb1391]

It was May. She was there in the studio suring the process I believe pretty much everything she said in her book. Call me a sucker.

This song made me have a spiritual awakening..I realized something deep was at work. I can't explain. I was about 11 years old. And on another note, who were the musicians on this... that bass line is so sick if you LISTEN to it.... everything is ahhh so gelling..in regards to musicians , what I REALLY wanted to know was who was playing that opening slide guitar intro. I found out! It was Jesse Ed Davis!!! Brilliant and beautiful!!

[@djpangburn7505]

Great song. I see that it has 78K views, while sounds like the Macarena and Gangnam Style have billions-And it makes you wonder if there’s not some remedial class for aesthetics that we can send people to

[@TheWorldTeacher]

It's a case of the "LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR".

[@BDX2BDX2]

Probably just an inaccurate perspective. This song is roughly 50 years old. I grew up in the 70s, grew up with the Beatles, and just now had a rough time learning it's name after hearing it on the radio this week. For many (like me) this song is iconic, yet unless you're a fluent Beatles/Lennon fan, it slips through the memory until it's jarred back by hearing it again. It's just not as famous as "Hey Jude" or "Get Back", certainly doesn't make it any less of a song.

I was just about to search Google for the meaning of these words! This is almost definitely his GREATEST masterpiece, and I've been familiar with the song for decades, yet I always assumed that it was some foreign (European?) language.
