Jimmy Carter honored with duet of ‘Imagine’ by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood

[@karynpitt3148]

Listen to the lyrics that's the point. The message is President Carter's send off to the people. Imagine all the people living life in peace......

All the bad taste as if 'Amazing Grace' were sung at a Playboy mansion! By Michael W. Smith!

[@mccalljeff]

So Jimmy Carter, a devout Christian, had to have a song that imagines there is no god, no religion? The left is so freaking gone, man. I mean, they are gone.

The lyrics are intended to make you think. Underlying theme is a desire for peace and harmony. Imagine what could happen if we quit dividing ourselves based on the country we live in, the things we own, the religion we practice, our political views, etc.

If the family asked for this beautiful song, and the artist, they did it for a reason, it’s nobody else’s place to judge. I’m sure Garth and Trisha didn’t just walk in and start singing. These, especially this type of services, are planned by the family. The family has the say so. All these offended judgmental people need to sit down somewhere. Worry about ya self.

[@donblosser8720]

What?! This was an insult, NOT an honor. I'm pretty sure that no one sang this song at John Lennon's funeral. "Imagine there's no heaven." So who picked this stupid song for Carter's funeral? Just watching the official music video for this song should convince you that it is brain dead stupid. There's John and Yoko walking into their huge white mansion with a huge white grand piano. He has $200 MILLION in the bank and he's singing "Imagine no possessions." Yeah right! What a sick joke!!!

I think Jimmy had the feeling that the song would be meaning if we could all get along as one the earth would be a better place.

[@Adele.N]

I liked this version better than the later version of the same singers and same song sung at former president Jimmy Carter’s funeral in Washington a little of a year later. Garth Brooks was the main singer in this version vs Trisha was the main singer at Rosalind Carter’s funeral in Georgia. The acoustics in the cathedral might of helped but, I really feel this song was better sung with a male voice.

@kcreagan9799 Yes, indeed, we do know what President Carter believed. He was a man of peace and love and didn't approve of war under any circumstances and disapproved of using religion as an excuse to kill gods children. God also doesn't advocate the killing of his children using his name as God loves all his children. Unlike you, who obviously aren't a true christian if you believe God is an advocate of killing innocent children

[@PhilipPOllard]

Look at the lyrics. No heaven, no hell, no religion, and everybody as one. That's what the anti-Christ will be preaching at first.

[@betomaelo4998]

Imagine? Really?? It's going to take a lot more than imagination to change the world and why sing a song whose author had almost nothing in common with Jimmy Carter and which song insinuated ending "religion?" Or maybe Jimmy Carter belted his wife like Lennon did to Yoko. Anyways, it's safe to say the recipe that is baked into the song with the hopes of making a better world severely lacks texture and leavening agents. It simply doesn't hold water.

[@bonniematthews7611]

This was President Carter's FAVORITE song. Seeing the deeper meaning and implications of the song requires opening one's heart and mind to universal spirit. When you embody goodness, when God's compassion is seated in your heart, there is no need for the human construct of religion. The lyrics serve as a model of perfection of the spirit, the overcoming of human foibles and vices. They poetically illustrate our collective yearning for peace and brotherly love, aspirations for wholeness, the manifestation of virtue and compassion.

[@kcreagan9799]

Are you really concerned about people's soul's? Or your personal opinion? You entirely missed the message of the song. God is all about love and wouldn't approve of the wars being fought in his name world wide. A song promoting peace and love is exactly what God is about. Not nasty hateful comments. President Carter was a man who believed in and advocated for peace and this was his funeral for his family and if he approved and they are fine that's all that matters.

[@abbadabbba232]

Easily one of the most ridiculous, silly, naive and mindless songs ever written. Sure. Imagine if the world had no problems, and everyone always got along and agreed with each other about everything, and didn't want to own anything but only share everything, and no more fighting and stuff. Yeah, except the problem is, we've been here thousands of years and we've never been able to even come close to that. Humans don't get along with each other very well, and never will. And it's not only naive, it's downright arrogant to think that somehow in modern times we're going to be able to basically overcome human nature and achieve world peace. It's simply unhealthy to live in such a fantasy world, detached from reality. Sure, do all you can to get along and not cause problems, but realize that you don't have any control over what others do. And if it's true this was Carter's favorite song, that's pretty disgusting that his favorite song was basically an ode to Communism. Makes me think a lot less of him. How a supposed devout Christian could have as his favorite song one whose opening line is "imagine there's no heaven" is beyond me.

[@makingjesusknown4338]

What an extremely odd choice of music, whose song is originally sung by John Lennon, who was well known to be against Christians and also JESUS CHRIST! " Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity."-John Lennon
