Polo, I was walking through Georgetown in Washington DC. I was 19 at the time. As I approached a record store I heard the piano intro. I stopped in my tracks, then walked into the store as the song roared from the speakers. Within a minute the store was jam packed as everyone was mesmerized. The song ended and there was dead silence as we all processed what we all just heard. The store sold every copy of the LP. I will never forget that day and the impact it had on hundreds of strangers and a unique shared experience that only a member of the Beatles could create.

I will always say - if there had never been a Yoko in the scene, there would have been no Beatles breaking up sooo soon. I've been a fan since Jan 1964, still have all my 1960's scrapbooks. I lived and breathed these young guys. I'm not afraid to dislike Yoko. I don't defend her. She was a brilliant strategist. Grand manipulator. She ruined generations of songs we never got to hear. 😊

Im italian and my mother used to play this music when I was young. She was an hippy 'flower child', 'figlia dei fiori' in italian. I remember the first time I heard 'Imagine' by John Lennon, I was captivated. I was really young, but I remember it. The sweet melody and meaningful lyrics of 'Imagine' have the power to touch the deepest chords of the heart. It's extraordinary how his art can connect with emotions and convey such a universal message of peace and hope. Every note feels like a journey through the ages, carrying with it an eternal call to understanding and unity. John Lennon has left an indelible mark on the history of music and the collective consciousness, inspiring generations to seek a better world. His musical legacy is a shining beacon that continues to guide those in search of beauty and meaning in the vastness of music.

I can easily believe he hadn't heard it. He's 40 years younger than Lennon and had a chaotic childhood in addition to coming from a different culture and as a young adult his interest in music was focused elsewhere. Way too many whitey boomers seem to assume that the last several decades were the same for everyone.

This is, without a doubt, the most iconic symbol of peace. His son finally performed it live after stating it would take the end of the world for him to do his father’s song. He cited the war in Ukraine as his reason to do the song. IMHO, his other Iconic song was Give Peace a Chance, done during a “bed in” during the Vietnam war. It was his idea of a sit in, but in a manner that allowed for an inclusive group of people to join him in his room. Thank you for this wonderful expression of your view on Imagine. It was very well said.

ICONIC peace track. John was not only an incredibly talented musician, singer/songwriter, but also a true visionary. He sang about peace & love, which sounds so corny today in our self-indulgent, capitalist world, but he was so sincere. He left the #1 band *in the history of music* (at the time), to try and live a simpler life and make music that suited him, not the record companies. Some of the music was a little out there, but his loyal fans followed him. I remember when he was shot & killed. I was in 10th grade. I cried and cried. It was such an *assault* on humanity. Such a tragedy.

There wouldn’t be 99.9% of most artists we have today without the Beatles! They either started coz of them or sampled part of their music

Danced with my mother at my wedding to this. Her favorite song. And one of my favorites to play on the piano. There will however come a day where it will hurt too much to hear or play....but till then....I'm loving it!!

Genius songwriter John Lennon(R.I.P😢) ,especially with Paul McCartney (Beatles)Universal lyrics, another level. Always loved him.The world continues to need this message..but 'IMAGINE' if it didn't.True &Timeless.

In the age of custom recommendations by each streaming platform, it's very easy for younger generations to never have heard of a thing. I've been noticing that after miving to a different country I simply don't get nearly the same new content recommendation than my colleagues at work because even that is affected by stuff your friends send you =)

Only 79K viewers!!! Incredible. This is an iconic song. The lyrics are still relevant all these decades later. The FBI had an ongoing investigation on John Lennon because of his activism for Peace.

Imagine is a world peace standard for decades. All Across the Universe is another gorgeous one by John. My favorite. ❤ Also- A Day in the Life- I think the Beatles’ greatest song. Mostly John- a little Paul in the middle. It’s mindblowing to this day.

Beautiful song. I knew the drummer, Alan White, who played on this album. He recently passed away. I asked him once what it was like to play on this album, and he said, "I had no idea how big it would be. I was just a young kid."

Polo, I love your reaction in listening to Imagine for the first time. Many say that this is their favorite song of all time. Out of the many, many songs to choose from, I would love to see your reaction to A Day in the Life by the Beatles. Polo, get into the greatest band ever, the Beatles!! They have so much to offer.

Hello again. Just got finished watching your John Lennon “IMAGINE “. Beautiful and sad, was not aware you had never heard this song. Anyway, FYI , just in case you didn’t know, he was with the BEATLES, they split and 😢😢😢and that was his wife in the video. He was from the UK, and moved to the U.S., to live with his family.

He owned a farm about two hr. drive from where I live in upstate NY. That song became our national anthem back in the day. Happy Holidays.

This is such an amazing, classic song. It is definitely John Lennon's #1 signature song. You should check-out "Jealous Guy," "Working Class Hero," "Beautiful Boy" (about his newborn 2nd son Sean), "Starting Over," "#9 Dream" and "Whatever Gets You Through The Night" (duet with Elton John). Guaranteed you will love each of these.

I was raised listening to John Lennon and The Beatles. John Lennon is my favorite singer of all time. This is one of my top three songs. He was a musical genius and he worked hard to send a message of peace and love. The world lost one of the good ones when he was shot.

Jealous Guy is such a phenomenal tune. So many of his solo songs are great. It still hurts to think how much more music he could have given to the World had he not been murdered.

Man, of all the "first time hearing" people on KZbin, you are the most thoughtful and do the best presentations. So many others laugh and talk over the song, and they can't possibly be really listening enough to deliver meaningful commentary. I know, I know, for a lot of them it's all about "entertainment", I guess. But I'm not entertained when I keep feeling irritated and wanting to say, "Close your face hole and listen." ... Anyway, IMO, you're the best presenter... and I just subscribed. Thank you.
