Imagine a Day

Product Information

Hannibal from Richmond, VaIt's funny how atheists call John Lennon a God... Anyways, the song has more to do with utopian socialism then anything else. Those who believe that Jesus is God are not burdened by him but liberated by him from worldly things. Jesus taught us to wipe the dust off our feet as evidence against those who would not believe the Word of God – not to harm non-believers. Lennon suggests that religion is responsible for man’s inhumane actions to his fellow man. Though this may be true of those with twisted concepts of their religion, it is not true of real Christians. Viktor from Palm Beach, FlI think the message of this song is simple: peace is good and love is good. I agree that "no religion" is a bit extreme but if people were completely perfect, religion would not be needed and this song is about imagining a perfect world. Tay from San Diego, Cai tried using this for a poem contest at my christian skool, ya i couldnt use it because "no religion to". i was so mad because its beautiful i mean why? Why? they didnt get the point of that verse.

Steven from Bundaberg, AustraliaImagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky.... Why would you want to imagine no heaven?...heaven is the only place where this utopia of John's exists. This is nothing more than an 'Imagine there's no God and we can all do what we like' - song. People are far too selfish to exist together in harmony without laws with sanctions. Let me quote a Keith Green song that tells it how it is. "..so many laughing at Jesus, while the 'funniest' thing that He's done, is love this poor stubborn, rebellious world, while their hate for Him just goes on...." God wants to SAVE you from your sins and take you to heaven, not join a religion. John was just imagining heaven. Ironic. Eddie from Rome, GaNever have understood why this song's considered one of Lennon's best. The melody's very pleasant, but the lyrics are vague & elementary; the sentiment of the song is fine, but by 1971 so many different artists had expresed this same sort of message that it lost much of its originality. With this song Lennon followed the crowd rather than lead it. Part II: The three books are worth studying together because they show how the artist has grown and developed his talent and technique over time. For example, Sharon Cummings (my classmate) and I read Imagine A Night first and recorded our initial impressions, which were mostly about the text. The second book we read was Imagine A Place and we found ourselves making many more comments about the illustration and how it illuminates the text. We could see improvements between the two books, such as the level of detail in the pictures that were either direct translations of the text or more figurative interpretations. An “avalanche of blossoms” was painted literally as an avalanche fading into blossom trees. At this point we formed the hypothesis that the Day book was created after the Night book, and this was confirmed by the five year gap in between the two books. Since it was such a long stretch between the two, we wondered if there was a book that came between them – this is how we discovered the Place book. Jane from Silver Spring, MdLennon was not asking us to imagine a heaven, seeing as part of the song is "imagine there's no heaven"Shawn from Green Bay, WiBeautiful song. And well-intentioned. Too bad it is about communism and is misguided. Man's evil didn't start with nations, possessions or religion. We were stealing from each other and slaughtering each other well before any of those things existed. We started those things to try and CHANGE that. Our goal isn't to have NO nation. Our goal is to have ONE nation. Maybe on that day, we will have peace. Partner with brands or influencers to join the conversation and discuss the importance of water resources. Krissy from Boston, MaLinda, Yeah Blake Lewis sang it on American Idol. It was pretty good the way he sing it. But nothing is as good as the way John Lennon sang it. It is such a beautiful song. Jcooltrane from Philadelphia, Pathe concept of this song is basically the principle i live my life by ... we are all just human beings ... the arbitrary separatist institutions ie. religion, politics, class, etc. that's all man made and thus doesn't have to be. great song!

Kristian Roberts from Swansea, WalesJohn Lennon was a good man who taught this world alot of things and he will live forever Kim from Uk, United StatesJohn wasn't a hypocrite. When he was younger he was very angry at the world, but people change. He would have been able to give up his possessions, he proved it when he lay in bed for a week with nothing but his clothes (and wife) for his cause. It's funny how people sitting at their Interent-enabled computers judge him for having a fancy car. And someone (I can't find who) says this song is against what God wanted? It is exactly what God wanted. If you'd ever read your Bible, you'd know that in the 'perfect world' God created in the beginning, 'Imagine' was what it was like. There was no religion either, just God, and people's relationships with him.

If the Lord had so willed, He could surely have mankind one community following Islam, but they will not cease to disagree, except him on whom the Lord has bestowed His Mercy, and for that did He created them, and the Word of the Lord has been fulfilled:" Surely, I shall fill Hell with jinn and men all together. My dream may not match your dream, or John Lennon's dream. Acceptance and love for all human kind gives me peace. That's what I imagine when I hear this song.
