Love John Lennon! But you haven’t heard Imagine until you’ve heard the original studio, or official video❤️‍🔥

[@renee5748]

I agree. However , I really enjoyed hearing the twist on his different lyrics in this version as well.

[@tonisee2]

I totally agree!

[@johnrichards2365]

Not just a song but a way of life. Lost my wife 3 yrs ago .... The inscription on the headstone..... IMAGINE .....peace and love

[@Joseph-bq4xv]

Soo Sorry for your loss!! I Lost my identical twin brother in November and We Always Loved John Lennon / The Beatles❤

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Sorry for your loss. The inscription on her headstone shows she was an amazing person. It seems you and her had it all figured out. ❤

[@butterflymama0838]

I'm so sorry for your loss ❣️

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I'm so sorry for your loss and it's so cool that that is what is on the headstone.

[@stevenboettcher4796]

My condolences.

[@jamesbobo]

He sang Imagine there's no country, not no people. He also changed the original lyric. Instead of no immigration, it was "and no religion, too" And instead of "sisterhood and man" it was just "a brotherhood of man".

[@StanSwan]

He was referring to US immigration laws when he wanted to move to NYC. He had a drug bust on his record so they kept him out for many years.

[@jalenjose3905]

John lennon was a socialist if you didn't know. Praise all socialism.

[@James-hd6ez]

And then four years later in December 1980 the Cia assassinated him after he won his green card in 1976,they were scared of his political views 😮RIP truth speaker and fellow scouser John Lennon. ​@StanSwan

[@spirosoikonomopoulos2651]

That's why first reactions should be on the original album version because of the originality of composure, lyrics, ideas,sound,instruments and the vocalist probably best performance. After move on to the live versions. A lot of lives have problems with amplifiers, sound, lack of some musicians required and vocalist might not be at his best. Some are great but I would listen to the original first.

[@JKevinCarrier]

This song is John Lennon in a nutshell -- he's preaching peace and love, but doing it in a really challenging and thought-provoking way. He's basically questioning the very foundations of civilization that we all take for granted: Countries. Religions. Possessions. What would society look like if we could rebuild from the ground up, with 20-20 hindsight, and leave out all the things that separate us from each other?

[@Drewnah]

I’m stunned that there’s people in this world still that never heard this song.

[@darthmal]

Or Rapper's Delight!

[@NEPatsFan]

When he said no immigration I believe he was referring to the dept of immigration since they were trying to kick John out of the country for a long time.

[@sliceofheaven3026]

Think he said before that something like imagine if there are no countries. That would mean that there is no immigration since countries wouldnt exist but rather just our earth.

[@timpwhit]

​@sliceofheaven3026 You beat me to it lol. The immigration line was improvised; the original line was "and no religion too." John was expressing his frustration with the US government's attempts to kick him and Yoko out of the country.

[@user-we2yt5on9b]

@@timpwhityou are correct about that immigration line. It was a tongue in cheek slap at his immigration problems at the time. Lennon sometimes could not resist tweaking someone’s nose.

[@skunkmonster1]

In the original, he says... and no religion, too.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

And I'm giving Britt some context of the man and the times. John Lennon also wrote Sunday Bloody Sunday.

[@BobTheMan2]

Yes

[@KaserisH]

Jesus Christ 🙏🏻☦️

[@butterflymama0838]

John wrote this in 1971. All these years later, and nothing has changed really. Actually, society has gotten worse and the world is falling apart. Especially the USA. This song always makes me cry. 😢 Great reaction, Britt! ✌🏼❣️

[@lickitup8461]

Agreed 💯

[@user-yj8te1te1y]

He is saying if the things people war over were removed (religion, nations, wealth and resources), the people of the world could live together in peace. Its a wonderful impossible dream .

[@tedmohr6353]

You should have seen John in the early 1960's leather jackets, ray bans, and generally a pretty cool dude. You could never tell the master genius that was lying underneath.

[@netzahuacoyotl]

The immigration line was thrown in because he was in the middle of a battle with US immigration, who, under the Nixon administration, was trying to deport him, an English man living in NYC.

[@vickyrobertson3166]

This is such an amazing song. The lyrics are so so good. You should watch the Pentatonix version. I know you love them as much as I do. John would be proud.

[@oscarwilde6649]

Oh, please. Pentatonix' version is mediocre & John would be indifferent to it. GREAT REACTION Britt ✌️&❤️4🌍

[@chrispavlich9656]

@@oscarwilde6649But the Official video to get the visual references.

[@summer2966]

Its like we’ve lost being deep and thoughtfull in present time compared to old times🙏😘

[@brianorzel1873]

This is one of the most beautiful and lyrically perfect songs ever! John was a true genius.

[@michaelmcgowan8986]

What a great reaction. I love ❤❤ this song. It is inspirational, has beautiful Message & we all should try a little harder. I remember where I was the exact minute he departed this earth. I swear the earth stood still for a minute, just like when elvis departed this earth. It's a shame to lose such beautiful souls so young. Peace & Love to all. ✌️✌️✌️

[@wanderer0617]

Thank you for this, Britt. This song has resonated with so many all of these years. John is my favorite Beatle since the 60s when I was a kid. I recently heard Chris Cornell sing this on a video during a Howard Stern show. Just stunning RIP John and Chris ❤❤❤

[@martharafield153]

This is written while the Vietnam war was still going. Just peace.

[@robertcollins197]

after John Lennon's murder this song was played around the world at a prearranged time. It was the first time over a billion people listened to the same song at the same time.

[@ednoponen2943]

He's not suggesting that we give up all possessions leaving everyone with nothing, Quite the opposite. He's saying that every one should have everything, and share everything. A beautiful vision, indeed.

[@darinmetzger9346]

There’s another verse in the original recording. Check out the official video of the tune. It’s great.

[@thewalrus6833]

He sang all three of the original verses, he just changed ' no religion ' to ' no immigration '. He also changed ' imagine no possessions, I wonder if YOU can ' to ' imagine no possessions, I wonder if WE can ', in response to the people who accused him of being a hypocrite.

[@debbiegarrison1944]

I was lucky enough to live in California and get close to his star on the Hollywood walk of Fame thousands of us sang this on his Bday

[@pres96ton]

Listent to the version of IMAGINE when he walks in the dark with YOKO and then into a white room playing the piano

[@rkardos4220]

Before it can be done it has to be imagined. He questions if its possible

[@cherylsimon7785]

This song always makes me cry.

[@PeterJ328]

Imagine, we thought this was going to change the world. Great job Britt.

[@user-io9me1ve7q]

We listened to this song back in the early 70s. We felt it was part of the peace and love vibe, coming just two years after Woodstock which was all about peace and love and drugs and vomiting and rain and mud and overflowing porta-potties and food helicoptered in. Imagine was very much a statement. I have never seen a video of it being performed. This is the first time I've seen that. Way back then we listened to Imagine on records- black vinyl platters played with a needle creating sound when the platter spun. The olden days. 🙂

[@theworldistoofulltotalkabo9203]

One of the best songs ever and everytime when it comes on the radio, it still make you pause and listen❤

[@lurx2024]

Lennon had always had a critical perception of what he symbolized and how he felt he appeared to the general public. You might want to check out his song, "Working Class Hero". (FYI: In the original Phil Specter version, the words "...and no religion too" was changed in this version to "...and no immigration too", interesting choice and very topical to the current politics of our era.)

[@realbworld]

Watching the Wheels is another great Lennon song.

[@jonathanallen2604]

This song is hell on earth

[@Big_BadaBom]

The commie anthom lol

[@terryallen345]

You start to understand what we all lost when he was killed

[@toyferBritney]

Rest in peace, John

[@folthorn]

This is one of my two favorite Lennon songs. The other is Working Class Hero. Check it out.

[@willow0828]

There’s a story that while he was in grammar school. The students were assigned a task by the teacher to write down what they wanted to be when they grew up. The only thing he wrote on the paper was HAPPY. The teacher told him he didn’t understand the assignment and he told her that she didn’t understand life.

[@willblood7082]

And that’s exactly what it is… just a story.

[@jimnicosia5934]

The man was Fifty years ahead of his time.

[@oldhickory4686]

Britt- "I'm a Christian." John Lennon- "Imagine there no heaven." Britt- "This song is so beautiful." Yeah, ok...

[@blgeiger71]

Hey Britt! This is by far my favorite John Lennon tune, as a peace and love for all type of guy myself. I would love to see you react to "Here to Love" by my man, Lenny Kravitz! He was awarded his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, which is great, and he is nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. I love him so much, can you tell? I love you too, girlfriend.

[@edlargent8383]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. A dream of an ideal world of peace and love. Humanity has so far to go and a lot of growing up to do.

[@ednapultz2555]

You should listen to the other one ,when he’s playing the piano. Both are great 😊

[@stephenadams2008]

You're very intuitive, I've noticed that before. You also really listen to the lyrics, and try to make sense of them. You've gotten things that I've seen other's not even have a clue! You also make all this very entertaining to us, for that, I thank you. Thank you for bringing back songs of my time and appreciating them as much as we did.

[@brittreacts]

Wow, I thank YOU! 🥲

[@wraithby]

It's one of his lesser songs actually. None of the attitudes in the song are in any way related to the way rank and file humans live their lives. It's an anthem for those who preen and posture in public, but don't walk the walk. One of the positive developments in Lennon's attitudes, at the end of his life, was his complete disgust with the way President Jimmy Carter was driving the country into the ground. He expressed to several people that if he had the vote in the US he'd vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980. That is one thing about Lennon that I very much "imagine" with satisfaction.

[@guillermomartinez2339]

Others have reacted to studio version...you should too...for other songs as well...

[@tommcleish6277]

talented man, love your reactions.

[@BobTheMan2]

One hell of a song that will live on long after we are dead

[@user-hb5im4dt9k]

Another John Lennon classic. "Give Peace A Chance" You have to check it out. Hope you see this or others let you know.

[@user-fc8lz1cg4x]

If you've seen Forrest Gump, you'll recognize these words when he was on the talk show. ❤😊

[@f1remandg]

Liverpool airport is John Lennon airport, Above us only Sky!

[@jlsc4125]

Its a very simple message , get rid of all the causes of conflict and war, no religion, no borders, no things to own, everything that people fight and die for. Just live for each other and today.

[@dougleclaire9424]

You've never heard "Imagine" ??? Not possible. One of the most famous songs in the history of music.

[@pres96ton]

look at the version of him and Yoko playing in a big white room and he is playing the piano and you can understand the lyrics. He was shot and killed outside hs apartment in NYC

[@kidpoker007]

Should have listened to the studio version

[@stucando00]

You should do the video where Lennon goes on stage at Madison square garden with Elton John

[@stevedahlberg8680]

You should hear his #9 Dream. Oh my God it's so lush and beautiful and positive and celebratory, and it itself was a hit.

[@keymack2477]

Britt, I am making a career out of watching and enjoying you music reactors on YT, and I cannot think of any reactor I have seen who "gets" John Lennon as well as you do!! I can't remember if you have reacted to "Working Class Hero" yet, but if you haven't you should definitely put it on your list!! Peace and Love!!

[@KennCramerHanberg]

You got my subscription after this strong reaction. This album, where this song comes from, has been my oldest record ever and i love this song in particular. My grandma bought it for me when i was 11 years., i think 1971. Thanks grandma!

[@michaelputnam2532]

For a story song out of the 70s, you should try Harry Chapin's "Odd Job Man", "The Mayor of Candor", "Sniper" or "Bummer".

[@josephcox736]

You are absolutely psychic. Intuitive for sure.

[@user-yj9sp8qs9w]

Impossible no, possessions !💔

[@gwilli9511]

Have you seen the video of his song, #9 Dream (Ultimate Mix 2020) with the Plastic Ono Nuclear Band? The opening guitar solo was played by Native American Indian Jesse Ed Davis.

[@markrinehart8813]

John had a tendency of changing lyrics in his songs at concerts. His is the actual lyrics for Imagine: Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky Imagine all the people Livin' for today Ah 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 Livin' life in peace You 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 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 Songwriter: John Winston Lennon

[@user-ku4xf1mb3l]

He had the most beautiful soul. I don't know if it's true I heard there was statements made that the government was very Leary of John because people would listen to him. He had such a large following. And I have to admit I was one of them. I'll never forget when he was murdered. I never cried so hard except one other time. And that's when Elvis died. I couldn't understand how someone could take such a beautiful soul. All he ever talked And sang about was love and peace. I used to say that when I pass away.I wanted this song and unchained melody put on my headstone.

[@girlindasky]

Enjoying your reactions Britt, especially to John Lennon. You’re very perceptive and really do ‘get’ John’s honesty in his music and his character- its those traits that have really drawn so many fans. By no means was he perfect, he made many mistakes, but he always wrote from his heart and its his soul you feel through his voice and music. ❤ ✌️🕊️

[@NickHeaze]

"Living for today..." "Go and have the day you deserve". You get it Britt.

[@artandrade1]

Best song ever!!! So many great Lennon music. Working Class Hero, Mother, God, Isolation, Cold Turkey, Jealous Guy.....and more. RIP John.

[@SacredxCreature]

Gotta hear the official video this live doesn’t do it as much justice lol

[@eagle0022]

My all time favourite song and artist. I remember vividly the night he was killed. 😢

[@chrisjamieson3452]

The important element. It's not a statement. He only says "imagine".And as far as religion goes, this was back in a time where there was actually more religious wars. Even Catholics v. Protestants in Ireland.

[@StanSwan]

Still religious wars today all over the world. Fighting over their imaginary friends.

[@renee5748]

It was interesting that in this version he changed religion to immigration.

[@StanSwan]

@@renee5748 He was taking a shot at US immigration as he felt ill used.

[@philippesauvie639]

Every war is a bankers war. You’ll find out

[@nedludd7622]

This is one of the most misinformed and irrelevant comments I have seen. His imagining is mocking people who still believe in imaginary fiends.

[@mikemiller3069]

John and Yoko spent a week in bed as a protest for peace. The Beatles did a song called, "The Ballad of John and Yoko" that tells about the couple and describes the bed protest and John says (in the song) "The newspaper says, say what are you doing in bed, I said, we're only trying to get us some peace".😂

[@GunsmithSid]

[@bobknightfolk]

If you can, you should really watch the original video. Even if you only take the time to do it for yourself rather than for a reaction. :)

[@reneerocha1796]

Some people used to say this was sacrilegious. But I don’t think so. It has a really good message and it was about peace. And what if everyone just got along and kind of back to the garden of Eden and harmony; everyone’s needs met. ❤❤❤❤❤❤No fighting.

[@gerardbyrnes5780]

This song means so much to me. And this is a great version.

[@comedyriff5231]

It´s certainly his most iconic solo song. Lennon was a very interesting person. He was a quite dark person with an aggressive past, but tried hard to change himself and the world. It´s worth watching interviews with him, he´s very intelligent and brutally honest.

[@EricNess-sc3rh]

Yes he was. And yes you are.

[@richardfeldkamp1707]

Such a beautiful song. Many times so-called Christian groups have tried to ban it. The show WKRP in Cincinnati did an episode about it. Please watch that if you can.

[@TheDivayenta]

Pulling up the lyrics always helps clarify word confusions!😊 John’s most gorgeous song is All Across the Universe- but listen with the incredibly poetic lyrics! ❤

[@jdgolf499]

You should listen to the recorded version. In this one, he changed some of the lyrics, and I think it diminishes the song from the original.

[@davidgagne3569]

Yeah - he just showed up as is - take it or leave it. WOW. Frigging GREAT song.

[@NotStanleyTucci]

Check out “watching the wheels” where he addresses the haters who criticized him for checking out of the industry to be a dad

[@jaylevy2108]

Just great... I think you would also enjoy John's work in the Beatles. For The first ever live worldwide broadcast John wrote and sang All You Need is Love... Check it out. Across the Universe is another great one with the Beatles in terms of his poetry. Another great Lennon solo tune is Working Class Hero

[@jefffinne9942]

Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Now try live "Give Peace a Chance" Live in Toronto. With his wife and widow Yoko Ono. Yes, you are psychic, but also very empathetic. In short, your reactions are filled with your soul!!!!! Love to watch your facial expressions as you listen. as you'd say, "I love it, love it!!!!"

[@Poeticsam]

If you want to hear another great version listen to Tracie Spencer's cover (I think she recorded it at age 13 and was a winner on Star Search)!

[@Shortsac72]

GREATNESS! It's a way of life 😀 😊

[@duckarse11]

the real lyrics are.... ...Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too........... not imagration

[@rachelbrachman1510]

I think he used the word "immigration" in this live version because he was in the middle of a 10 year fight for the right to live in the USA.

[@jeffreybabor2585]

Every government agency wanted to deport John Lennon and he had to fight to stay here ironically if he was deported he may still be alive!!!There were several reasons they wanted him out but ultimately there is no money in peace

[@eldritchshiner]

The day after he was killed, I happened to be in Piedmont Park in Atlanta, where a large crowd of us sang this song.

[@unclespeedy]

Donald Fagan wrote "Only a Fool Would Say That" in response to this song. Fagan's was so correct.

[@palee1965]

“Watching the wheels” is another song you will love and understanding his true nature even more

The US Govt. was trying to kick him out of the country hence the reference to immigration. He changed the words several times in this version, best to watch the OG video.

Britt. React to Lennon's 'Across the Universe' (Done when he was with the Beatles). Better yet, listen to Amy Lee (Evanescence) cover of the song. John was a brilliant song writer, and has been missed for so long by those that grew up in the 60's and 70's.

[@KevinWalsh-m7w]

Not as unified as one could hope. Many people really hate this song.😢 The group Steely Dan wrote a song in protest. " Only a Fool would say that. "

[@wentibbetts7833]

You really should have been a 70s rocker Britt. 🫠 Spot on, peace, love this song❣️ I can IMAGINE what John would write today. This was written early 70s, it's 24. 💔😪
