best answer 10pts

Answer 1

I feel that this song was an attempt by John to get a simple message out that encouraged people to look around them in the real world and realize-- that if we don't take care of what we have AND each other--- we are all the losers for it !!
He repeatedly refrains-- imagine there's no heaven or a hell --- this immediately focuses one to the thing of--- all that is left for us is the here and now--- and that's what he was trying to bring into the listeners thoughts----deal with the here and now and everyone could be a lot better off !!!

Answer 2

"Imagine" is a utopian song performed by John Lennon, which appears on his 1971 album, Imagine. Although originally credited solely to Lennon, in recent years Yoko Ono's contribution to the song has become more widely acknowledged. The song was produced by Phil Spector.

"Imagine" is widely considered as one of the greatest songs of all time.

Answer 3

Lennon later felt that this song should have been a Lennon/Ono collaboration. Said John, "The lyric, the concept, came from Yoko, but in those days I was more selfish, more macho, and omitted to mention her contribution. But it was right out of her Grapefruit book- there's a whole pile of pieces about imagine this and imagine that."

Answer 7

This is the Iranian pop (Persian) version of the Jhon Lenon's song, but this one is deeper and has won the nobel peace prize in France in 2005:
Imagine.Even if it is hard to imagine.a world where each person is truly fortunate!Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!Everybody free, totally free! no one in pain, no pain!You wouldn't read in newspapers that whales committed suicide!Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder,no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements!Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!even if you'd lay down your life on this!Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,where all wars of the world are included in ‘The Ceasefire Treaty'!!a world where nobody is ‘The Boss' of the world!people are all equal!Then each person will have an equal share in each single seed of wheat!No border, no boundaries – motherland would mean the entire world!imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!
