⬇⬇⬇ABOUT GIMME SOME TRUTH⬇⬇⬇
John: Side Two starts with “Give Me Some Truth” which is one I started a year or two back - probably in India. We wrote a lot there. It was an old lick that I had around a long time but I again changed the lyrics. I like the track because it sounds good but it didn’t get much attention, so it’s a personal track that I like the sound of. The guitars are good and the voice sounds nice and, you know, and it says whatever it says. George does a sharp solo with his steel finger (he’s not to proud of it - but I like it).
It’s about politicians, newspaper men and all the hypocrites of the world. And male chauvinists, it’s about them too. I think that music reflects the state that the society is in. There is nothing to hide. Not really. I mean, we all like to shit in private and we certainly have things we prefer to do in private, privately. But in general what is there to hide? I mean, what is the big secret?
I think it’s like this whole game of the press. When the whole drug thing came out about the Beatles, what actually happened was the press cornered Paul one day with the TV cameras and all the press and asked him, “have you taken LSD?” And he said “yes”. And they said, “don’t you think that you have a responsibility to society?” And he said, “yes I do, and so do you, so please don’t publish this or print it.” And they had it on every newscast that night with him saying, “please dont publish it.” Now what the hypocrisy of the press is like, what I was saying about the News Of The World is they’re always going on about other people’s responsibilities and pop stars selling sex to people when they’re the ones keeping the whole mill rolling. They have as much responsibility as us so called ‘stars’ and that was a prime example.
There was a famous picture of me in one of the Beatle Books and it said, ‘No phoney politician is ever going to get through to me.” That still stands, although I dabbled in so called “politics” in the late 60’s and 70’s. More out of guilt for being rich and guilty, thinking that maybe perhaps love and peace isn’t enough, that to have to go and get shot or something, or get punched in the face, to prove I’m one of the people.
I think our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. And I think that’s what I sussed when I was 16 and 12, way down the line. But I expressed it differently all through my life. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government etcetera and the Russian, Chinese - what they are actually trying to do, and what they think they’re doing, I’d be very pleased to know what they think they’re doing. I think they’re all insane but I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
Somebody comes along with a good piece of truth and instead of the truth being looked at, they look at the person that brought it. It’s like when the bad news comes, they shoot the messenger. When the good news comes, they worship the messenger and they don’t listen to the message - whether it be Christianity, Mohammadism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Marxism, Maoism, everything. It’s always about the person and never about what they said.
My function in society is to be an artist. The artist’s function is to be as true to himself (and therefore the people he communicates with through his art) as he can, and survive. Art is a functional part of society. If you don’t have artists, you don’t have society. We’re not some kind of decadent strip show that appears on the side. We’re as important as prime ministers or policemen.
Register to Vote. If you register to vote, it doesn’t mean you have to vote. At least you have it. And then if there’s somebody around that you can believe in, you’ve got that vote. But if you don’t register and it comes, and you wanna do something, you’ve missed it. Because there’s one inch in which we breathe differently between the two parties. And everybody’s saying they’re all the same. They are all the same, but there’s one inch in which they let you breathe.

Imagine what Lennon would think of the world today!!!
He would tell Trump: Give me some truth.
@@btom22259Trump is trying to get the truth out there. Obama made what Tricky Dicky did look like such an amateur. Hillary reigns supreme at deception. Not sure if you can handle the truth. Justice will prevail.
Doesn't really matter what he would think.
Same old hateful bullshit but more of it! Imagine!
@@scaligula7552 Why not? I'm sure you can give me at least 7 reasons why *John Lennons* opinion wouldn't matter if he were here today.
This song is timeless,
Lennon said it correctly then, and it’s still right now.
“All I want is the Truth”
John Lennon forever and The Beatles forever
+
This song is pretty punk, except for it doesn't sound like garbage. Thank you John, this song is more relevant now than ever.
+
This isn't even slightly punk.
Average protest song. Not punk.
more like proto-punk (Television, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop)
Punk wasn't meant to sound good on purpose...you obviously don't understand punk 🤔
One of George's best guitar solos. Such a great rockin' tune.
Harrison is not playing. That is Lennon. This is the Plastic Ono Band
Maree Lara he actually did on a few of the imagine songs
I love his arpeggio part with the echo on it.
@@mareelara2210 the plastic ono band has had many recurring artists George being one of them
+
Gimme some truth. The irony is that John had the truth all along. The truth is doing right by yourself and everyone else. And not intentionally hurting anyone physically or emotionally. And doing things that make you happy.
Maybe he knew the truth but he didn’t act it out since he did his best to intentionally hurt others quite often, both physically and mentally
If we were all just a little bit more like John the world would be a way better place to be in. He was enlightened in a way that it didn't depress him which seems to be the normal of those that have found that same enlightenment definitely someone I've always admired
He made amazing music. But let's not idealize him as a human, he hurt and abused plenty of people. Just enjoy his creativity.
👍
~~~{{♥}}~~~
Jared Jams - Well said! There are some pretty uniformed comments above. I mean I loved Lennon and his creativity. But he wasn’t without flaws, and he hurt a lot of people. Including his own family, particularly his son Julian. He also had severe problems with depression (unlike someone above implies). But I agree he would’ve learned, improved and regretted his mistakes. If only he would’ve had the chance to age. Tragic....
Now, as then, John Lennon's words continue to ring so true. (And George's solo is sweet!)
+
Sometimes bands have to break up for a reason.
Otherwise we wouldn't get masterpieces like this.
With George Harrison on guitar.
This song is still relevant in 2020 and will be relevant decades from now -- unless people wake up.
Spot on 💋💯💯💯💯💯
John Lennon is a genius. And the author of this video is talented.
Prob Sean. He remastered all these w his mom.
George wow on that guitar 🎸 give John the truth miss you both 🙏
I am here John, still looking for the truth my brother.
He will set us free.
Same✌🏼
+
Same
Imagine John and George had done that time a album together, it could be a good one that time
+
nice one, Winston.
How'd you see it so early?
If you have a time machine franc we'd all like a turn.
I prefer Marlboro
+
Like a punk record except no punk band would have come up with that gorgeously melodic lead break. Then again no punk band had George Harrison on lead guitar
I agree to an extent. But some of those old punk bands had some good melodies.
Generation X covered this........
I miss George and John.
"_ Never Trust a Hippie _"
Evermore relevant today. For all politicians left and right.
This song is more true at this moment in history than ever before.
Perfectly dropped on US election day! Well played, Yoko 😎
"yellow bellied"... Orange faced.. "psychotic.... pig headed... Politician...
Perfect fit for the greatest LIER in US history !
I'm pretty sure john would've re-released it himself if he was around... The current political climate is perfect...
@@bgtube the lyrics feel even more appropriate now than ever. oh, and.... don't vote. they already decided the outcome before you even voted.
@@thevoid99
Your handle and advice represent dead void...
The scientific Universal Void is present with energy... Put some energy out there....
You can still VOTE and make a difference....
On international peace day she dropped 'How Do You Sleep' which I complained was bad timing considering the subject matter. I guess she was inspired by my UA-cam comment. Do I get a co-credit and the royalties for that?
Love you John Lennon, love your music.......timeless music, be blessed.
George's timeless slide guitar. Love it!
I love you John! You are truly missed! On this day, I listen to all of my favorites, #9 Dream, Gimme the Truth, Come Together and many many more. Pure Genius!
Another masterful expression of what we all feel , Johns music is so timeless and his message is so spot on.
+
This was nearly a Beatles song, they jammed it during the Twickenham sessions.
+
Did not know that.maybe will appear on the new film?
Yup. Paul even helped write some of it. Peter Jackson showed footage of Paul helping to write it and he had no memory of doing it
If this was sung and written by anybody else this would be there greatest track. Even Oasis never did a song as good as this or most of John’s 60’s contemporaries. No one could capture the essential spirit of everything they needed to day in just 3 minutes or so. To Lennon it was an filler!!♥️🎼🥊x
John is an angel in Heaven. I hope he has met my son Micheal. Iam sure my son has told him how much I loved him and his music!!!💖💖💖
So sorry for your loss...I have 2 grown sons, eldest named after John. Sad you lost your dear one. I'm sure he's met John! Heaven is full of love. 🌹
Love this song. John Lennon was ahead of his time, it's like he saw the 2000s future from the 60s and 70s. Johnny Depp just recently covered this song, and he did a great job.
I was born the year this song was released. This song never grows old. I grow older but this song stays young. It's like this song is Dorian Grey and I'm locked up in his attic getting wrinklier and portlier and with less hair while this song is out there at parties enjoying itself and sometimes maybe drinking a bit too much.
hahahahaha..."N I C E"....Well Played indeed, lol
+
+
Hahaha! Indeed! I'm older and that's a great description. Yes, wel-played!
Man this song is so strong and beautiful that it made me cried so hard😓😓😓😓😓😓😓
Especially on George Harrison's best guitar solo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yes, that chemistry was the essence of the Beatles.
John Lennon ! You’re so right, this happen nowadays.there are tensions in this world 🌎 déjà vu ! 👀 great song.all people is looking and waiting for the truth.
+
Deporting Lennon would change nothing he would still fight for what he believes in. By deportation you are giving him more to work with
+
Nice username, Paul McCharmly.
Bush and Clinton would have to kill him and Marley to stop my generation born in 1963 from fighting to keep our family farms and Union jobs, and put us all in prison for 20 years.
Happy 80th Birthday John! To everyone else~ VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!✌️
"No short haired, yellow bellied son of tricky Dicky's gonna Mother Hubbard soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope."
God DAMN, John go off!
This song should be played in the USA non stop all we want is the truth.
Macca's melody is unsurpassed; but Lennon's charisma is out of this world. I'll take charisma any day now. Lennon Legend.
could this be more relevant? I love you , John
So fitting on election day... We need John now more than ever, a brilliant and missed voice.
Happy birthday to mr.john celebrating his 82 year💖💖💖x
Just listened to Johnny Depp's version, both are awesome! 😙
I think this is one of the most meaningful and powerful songs John Lennon has ever written. [This is part of UA-cam's "Election Day 2020 Playlist - Uncensored"]
The most loving prophet of our generation and the most loved
Guitarist hero George Harrison and pianist hero Nicky Hopkins, both such legends, helped make this possible and shouldn't ever be forgotten!
Great song, great lyrics and great words
Lennon at his angriest, most pissed off self.
Which is anytime since 1969?
lennon's almost like, the first punk rocker!
Pop Iggy Richards Keith After
He was a teddy boy.
Too much dope makes a man angry!
What a wonderful John Lennon song ranting about wanting the truth! Will always miss him! Such a legend!
So good it hurts
So Much Love! We're Still Waiting!
GREATEST SONG.
This have a better version in Everyday Chemistry Other Dimension Album
I still miss his voice and personality.....
Único, el mejor, genio y hasta maestro, solo tu Lennon, por siempre ✌️✌️
0:46 - blistering guitar solo
Il più grande di tutti... Un uomo avanti 50 anni rispetto a tutti 😊☺😊☺
John knew the truth
Awesome, ❤❤❤
George just wailing on the solo, amazing, so damn good!
thanks for this!!
Nearly another year without John :( IMAGINE how it would have been, could have been, should have been, with john in the world, not out.
IMAGINE
Es increíble como uno automáticamente identifica el. Solo de George harrison.. Eso es tener un sello al tocar la guitarra.. Los más grandes lo tienen..
Lennon was a head of the times
John has done what he come to do.
Who can say they did better?
Outstanding !!!!!
John we all want truth
Mr time traveler come and see me with the truth great song as all your songs are 🎸✌️🍏
One of his best still hum to my self when I am walking
Play that masterpiece in November 2020, 24/7. No more mistakes this time, America!
A mantra for todays world it would seem!!
Happy birthday John Lennon!!
"Gimme some truth" - excellent and fascinating text animation...
John recognized way earlier than the U.S. people, what kind of person Richard Nixon is.
SOME US people! XD
What’s wrong with Nixon ?
He was like Obama lite
@@vonholland64 I'm a Republican. Nixon was the worst Republican President we ever been with. So was Bush 41. The rest was okay with me🍏
Seattle Day it was sarcasm , but his surveillance was nothing compared to Obama’s
+
LENNON FOREVER
Your words live on John, especially now!
A brilliant and relevant song in any century.
Naturally this song was banned on the air. Only the title track received air play. All the more reason to have bought the album in '71 and Whooooooa! What a ride!
I bought it immediately! First album I bought "with my own money"! ❤John. Fk Nixon, Reagan, Bush, W, and Cheeto Treasonman.
@@kittenfuud Amen!!! F all of those devils!!!
✨🕊✨
Favorite song off the album
Timeless it’s all one!xxxxxxxx.
This song rings true in 2023. Sadly things really haven’t changed . Imagine! ❤
Fave album❤🙏
This song is a unit and cheap tricks version is beast as well
Stunning song with a stunning music video
Fantastic song!!!!
Wow I never heard this song before. It's so real!
Simply epic
So relevant to current UK election: only 40 years after it was written!
+
We all want the truth
The truth is we're fucked.
Happy birthday John
One of the best songs by John Lennon!
Great Song
The truth is a stranger in this world.....Look around you and tell me what do you see...
Classic. Finished listening to the box set today ...
Love this video
That's me, all I want is some truth!
A song for the times. And now a cool video as well!
GREAT video. Thanks!
the TRUTH is that we cannot TRUST those in POWER
So relevant to the last 4 years
Lennon lives
Rainman he faked his death
50 years old...and very true today.
Lovely❤️
Greatest Song in John's solo career
Maybe Solo-John's VOCAL "HELTER SKELTER" ???....Though, I Would-Have to say: "COLD TURKEY" is Some Pure-Heaviness OF "TRUTH" ??!!!....Solo-John Period = A Lot of ANGST ! *3rd Example/ His Note to Paul(From the FaB-3) "HOW DO YOU SLEEP" !.....*But in-All* Reality, Sure-Could Be John's "GREATEST" Lithobid,...Sure ! , John Had a Tongue Like A Sharp-Fanged Two-Headed Snake....No Wonder He Scared Hoover & Nixon ,lol...!WOW!
SCOTT GOLDEN Helter Skelter was McCartney
Love it
Love you John!🍺
Fitting tribute to make all your “I love the Beatles” friends listen to today on John’s 80th birthday. 😀
The word, and the voice.
