You can tell this song was going to be a masterpiece.

[@yogamukta4669]

It could be a new Imagine probably…

[@maestrobjwa90]

Wow...Ya know, John just had a certain way with his chords/chord progressions that I'm not sure was seen in pop music before or since. Thinking about chords in Imagine, Oh My Love, Free as a Bird, etc...his chord progressions are beautifully hypnotic, where more typical pop chords are interspersed with these sudden, gorgeous ethereal minor, diminished, and augmented chords that just take ya somewhere. I mean this song is a gorgeous example of this...Lennon genius!

[@hw343434]

Spot on! I always subconsciously admired John’s chord progressions, they spoke to me in a way. No I’m learning to appreciate consciously the way he builds cord progressions in such a unique and as you say ethereal manner. Reminds me a bit of Beethoven at times but in a totally different context

[@tarosan1754]

You forgot to mention 9# Dream, that song was hypnotizing. Sounds so good

[@hw343434]

“#9 Dream” is an epic track all the way. Incredible melody, arrangement and production all by John himself

[@tangibleblockofwisdom6386]

Oh, all those boys. They’ll blindside you with augmented jazz chords never usually used in pop songs. Hybrid weird comin from the left kinda progression or shifting up or down - seemingly out of key bridge or chorus. Masterful understatement.

[@brianruppert1071]

As someone who had just finished high school and a huge fan of John’s, to come home from my part-time job to hear Howard Cosell suddenly announce on TV that h’d been shot and killed was too much to bear. We lost one for the ages when we lost him.

[@brianruppert1071]

@Blythe Girl , you have the right to your opinion but there's no basis for that argument, actually. There were several factors that split them, and it was equally Paul and John--and to an almost equal extent George, in fact!--who pulled the plug on the band. Yoko was a disrupting presence to some extent but I take most of the criticism of her to fundamentally wrong and, sometimes, racist in implication.

Lennon was a metaphysical lyricist, his musical and poetic images are mysterious and sublime. His best songs are full of transcendent, sleepy, strange sadness. Stockhausen was also amazed at Lennon's modulations. It's a pity that the rock'n'roll era and John's rock'n'roll background pushed his main calling as a philosophical lyricist (although I love his furious rock'n'rolls).

[@TrumpWasRightAboutEverything]

I'm grateful John Lennon existed in this earth and reached his earthly death having achieved all he did. And through his grief and suffering, he channeled it and created so much. So much that his work and existence will forever be remembered. And I give him credit for falling in love genuinely and living by example. His willingness to be vulnerable, so vulnerable to write and say his heart and mind. Yoko gives credit every day for the light and love and access to a whole different world. He saved her. As he has no doubt saves and entertains millions of people. And always will. Thank you so much John. You affected me profoundly musically, and philosophically. You packed so much into your life, I reckon you knew you still had shit to overcome but don't we all. You won the battle❤️

[@greenwich1754]

I'm sorry, but I can never view Yoko in a positive light. John loved her, that's for sure. Yoko used John for her own advances. She, in my opinion, was the wet, dour blanket that smothered John's creativity. Compare any of John & Yoko's videos with Paul & Linda McCartney clips. Yoko virtually never smiles. Meanwhile, Paul & Linda are yucking it up, and having a grand old time in their videos. Linda complimented Paul, whereas Yoko stifled and inhibited John. Again, in my opinion, John's best album overall was Wall and Bridges, made during the "lost weekend" separation from Yoko. He was unshackled, and appeared to be the John we knew from 1964 (apart from the drunken embarrassments).
