Incredible that this man composed “Imagine” & “Jealous Guy” in 1971 and almost ten years later after 5 years of house-husbandry retirement, he gave us this masterpiece statement on enjoying the simple things in life without caring what the outside world thinks. He was a free man. And he shared his newfound freedom with his fans. And then he was gone having left us this beautiful message
Он не ушел, его убили какие то сволочи. Из чего надо сделать вывод,если хочешь быть свободным, то свою свободу надо уметь охранять и защищать,это простые вещи и их давно пора понять.
Last night I had a dream where I met John Lennon, told him his songs made me happy and that I was a musician like him, and he started to cry and held out his hand. I took it and held it in mine
John Lennon was truly a man of peace. He accepted people as they were, not what they should be or what they could be. He loved to he loved even if others may not have accepted interracial relationships. If more people today were like John, it would indeed be a better world. Sad to say, this world is going to hell in a hand basket because of the decisions that people choose to make. It could be such a beautiful world if we could eliminate hatred and if more people became humanitarians. Peace and love Laura
Hard to begrudge him his happiness just because it cost us a few more Beatles songs. Not as though the band members didn't keep releasing amazing tracks on their own.
@@sergiojulianlopezpuebla9720 Yes, back then I worked in Central Park...John would take Sean to what is now...Strawberry Fields and the playground...John lived in the prestigious...Dakota on 72nd Street & Central Park West...he was approachable but guarded when he was with Sean...he was a very happy and carefree man...may he RIP...
This song came out in 1980 on the Double Fantasy album. It was out for maybe a month or two when John was taken from us. The radio couldn't get enough of the song back then. And neither could John's fans. Even those that didn't like John's music wanted to hear this all the time. I was 17 then. Now, I'm 60 and after 43 years, I find the song still has meaning. You're still missed John. RIP.
Jesus said, "I tell you the truth no one will see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." For God so loved the world that He give His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me. I forgive all who have offended me. Come into my heart and save me. I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and baptise me with your Holy Spirit. Fulfill your plan and purpose in my life. "I recommend you read John's Gospel especially chapter 3.Gbu.John 3v3v22,John 14v6.
Yeah, it's exactly like this for me. I listen he when i was a little child on radio and that's was... love. He has a great referenter for me, like a father and best friend. I feel every word for every song that he sang, and listen to him it's one of the things than brings to me peace, confort and peace.
John was, is and will always be one of the reasons why I cry. A deep love for him that I can't explain. I don't care about this or that or what people thought of him and what made him happy. All I care is that he existed. What an absolute loss, it still hurts so much. Rest easy, John. We will never forget you and your creations.
As I grow older (41 at the moment), this song takes on deeper meaning. I see many people struggling and fighting so hard for the things they think they need, the things they believe will define and complete them, and yet I feel no need to struggle so hard for things that ultimately mean so little. My hope is that with time, others will see that all we really need to pursue is inner happiness.
I'm 25 years old and I have realized that my peace of mind is more important that all of my dreams combined (insert peace of mind song of Boston) after suffering from depression. Some people think I'm crazy for giving up my former ambitious self at such a young age but when will they understand, I don't know. As my idol John Lennon once said, "I just like watching the wheels go round and round".
@aanii2878 there is duality in everything, let go to much and you are adrift, hold on to tight and you are fighting the tide. The letting go must be in the accepting of the ebb and flow, and wisdom might be in the knowing of both. Peace
@@DannyBZ9 You obviously know nothing of me or the family who kept me locked in a cage as a child & feed me table scraps, while beating me for pleasure. Troll someone else arsehole.
My dad and I had an amazing bond over music and this was our song. He passed away last July and today I'm sobbing listening to this. Life's so beautiful and fragile
The older I get the more sense this makes and reflects how I choose to live now. Will always be missed but never forgotten. It has been a pleasure sharing John's music with my kids as they grew up.
.... best not to try make sense of anything .... life unfolds in the most abstract ways sometimes that all can be said is that it's a TRAGIC COMEDY SHOW
This has to be THE BEST song ever written about personal introspection and life direction and self awareness. It's John Lennon answering his critics and singing you a personal accounting of his life at that stage.
So many great insights on his last 2 records. -I tell them there's no problems only solutions -After all's been said and done you can't go pleasing everyone so screw it -Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans Prophetic... www.patreon.com/towil
@@user-ww4bw9qe9h Megan. By 'his critics' it was a reference to those in the music industry and others who criticized him for taking such a long time out of the public eye when he concentrated on bringing up Sean. As for your comment about him not being allowed to live, I take it that you reference his probable assassination when he strated getting musically and politically active again?
@@garryharriman7349 yes.Indeed. After he met Yoko his direction became more purposeful shall we say and in whose interests that didn't bode well. He was so influential. With regard to his taking the time out to be with his son I congratulate him I completely understand despite what the music critics might have said.. I relate to this song so well.
@@Catherine-n5l Julian was much older than Sean when John was killed, he actually has memories with his Father, while Sean on the otherhand only has this.
Parenthood and fatherhood. A loving precense and collaboration. Unity. So integral. A beautiful message and transmission. Wholeness is holy. Balance is beautiful.
John Lennon deserted his 1st wife and son Julian for a Japanese woman who wasn't even attractive. By all accounts she broke the Beatles up. Ask Ringo and Paul 😊
I so love this song, so many memories. This song illustrates that John was going through all the changes in life that we all go through, but on a much bigger scale. To go from the member of the most famous band ever to being a regular dad must of quite the challenge, but he seemed to adapt to it well and seemed genuinely happy. Sean was so loved by his papa. Blessings to all.
8TH DECEMBER IS ALSO ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE, HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAPPENED 40 YEARS AGO. BUT WILL NEVER FORGET HOW I FELT ON HEARING THE NEWS OF HIS MURDER. WONDER WHAT HE'D THINK OF TODAYS MUSIC
I recall that horrible day. I was a senior at The University Of Texas and heard the news on the radio. (remember those?) Called my best friend and my girl friend and we all went down to Zilker Park. There must have been a thousand people out there. No one spoke. We all lit candles and walked around in sadness and shock. Imagine if John were alive today... Imagine...
If it makes you feel better, I've been practicing piano and singing "imagine" for a while now and this december im going to play and sing louder than ever
religious fruitcakes when someone points out an objective statistic about the youth starting to prefer art over an outdated barbaric cult called christianity
If this doesn’t bring a tear to your eyes, somethings wrong. John was loving this second chance of being a father. You can truly tell he just loved being Sean’s dad. It’s beautiful really. Being a father is a special, beautiful blessing.
I've known and loved this song since I was a teen. Didn't truly understand until just now what John meant by "I just have to let it go"... I love you, John.
That is the thing about great music. It is great even if you don't understand the words then gets even better when you do. John, Paul and George all seem to have that gift. Might explain why I so loved their music when I was a kid but like it even more now.
John Lennon is something else. The thing that his solo masterpieces and the ones with The Beatles are still been listened is amazing. But thinking that in all these years no one have been able to be even close to the level of composition of John Lennon or The Beatles, just make me appreciate then even more. John, Paul, George and Ringo are really one in humanity existence.
I first heard this song at the ending period of my reckless life. A new beginning with my son being born and countless of memories to be had and joy to be shared. My favorite Beatle song .
I hope they figure out this virus crap because I would love to see a big celebration for him. I was born in '85 but I grew up being an obsessive Beatles fan. John Lennon is my favorite of all 4 though I love them all. His music got me through some tough times.
I’m Not The Walrus, Are You? Wow, forty yrs. that is crazy. I was six yrs old, didn’t know who the Beatles were, but knew something major happened. God I get so mad every time I think about it.
@@benringenberg6265 I was 12 years old, and grew up listening to my older brother's Beatles albums. I remember the horror and hurt of his murder. I came home from school and my mum told me he had died. And I remember I said "Was it drugs?" and she said "No, a madman shot him outside his home". It still makes me feel sick thinking about that news today, the disbelief, pain and anger. And I was a kid who never even met him! But that was the power and charisma of John Lennon, so many felt personally bereft. He was here such a short time, only half his natural life. Yet he touched many millions of people with his vision and his music. I'm just glad he had joy in his personal life with his wife Yoko and their little boy, and his elder son Julian who he was making plans to see more of. It's the cruellest injustice for them that a nobody was able to steal him from them forever.
@@glamdolly30 you pretty much captured exactly my feelings on the tragedy. It still, and will always, hurt. The anger is almost overwhelming sometimes.
@@benringenberg6265 Thanks, it's somehow reassuring to know others feel these powerful emotions about someone they never met. I'm sure like me you sometimes watch these videos and wish by some miracle you could jump into shot and warn him, and stop the tragedy from happening. It's as crazy as watching film of the Kennedy assassination over and over, hoping it will have a different ending if you play it enough times. We cannot change the past, only the future. John Lennon always looked forward with hope, never back with regret. I'm sure that's how he'd want us to live our lives too. God bless. X
John Lennon wrote the songs he was supposed to write and then he was taken. Sad, yes. I miss Mr. Lennon. Saw him on the Dick Cavett show and thought “this is one cool dude”. I was 5 when I thought that. Yes, John Lennon reaches everyone. Rip, Mr. Lennon. Sir John.
I'm a big Beatles & solo John Lennon fan. Rest in Peace, Mr. Lennon. YOUR MAGIC LIVES ON. These last few years, I have lost several family members very dear to me. Wrestling with my grief, I have to often remind myself to be grateful for the times we did have together ❤️
John Lennon is one of my favorite artists, he's so soulful and genuine. He really was apart of setting the standard for what it means to be a quality human being.
I miss John so very much, His music has and will always be a part of my life. This video makes me smile. Seeing all of them together and knowing he was able to be really happy for awhile.
This is such a bittersweet video, if only because John was so happy, deeply in love with Yoko and Sean, and the whole experience of being a father, only to have it all wiped away for nothing, by a nothing - a disturbed person who can never fathom who and what he took away from John’s family and friends, and all of those who appreciated his talents. I really hope that it gives comfort and peace to Yoko and Sean as it’s such a testament to how much they were treasured. For their sake, I’m so glad that they took these home movies of their time together, and I am grateful that Yoko shared a little bit of their lives together. She didn’t have to, but she did, and we, his fans, can see how the lyrics of the song really were John at peace.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm okay they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball [Chorus] I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go [Verse 2] People asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem Only solutions Well they shake their heads and they look at me As if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry I'm just sitting here doing time [Chorus] I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
Notice how John says :'' Wheels''with an S . Friends , John was talking about flat earth , 2 wheels with s's = sun and moon spinning . Earth dont move . Wake up . We dont longer have to beleive we are riding on a merry-go-round cause the earth is NOT spinning ...Anyone here listening ?
@@MissMarinaCapri wow you are a #1 student , you beleive every thing they teach you like a sheep ? Do your own research maybe just maybe you'l be amazed ! I did and I was .
This song sums up how I feel these last couple of years. Nothing wrong with taking a break and 'watching the wheels'. I just had to let it go. Why are we always chasing money and success? Stop, think and smell the roses.
His song "Imagine" says it all so simply and effectively. Yet all those years later in 1980 he gave us this. I know myself along with his millions of other fans would have liked to see what else he had coming but that was stolen from us all when his life was stolen by a crazy person.
You got that right. Granted at the same time with such horrible people we share this earth with and seem to tolerate it might be up for debate if we are even worthy.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball? I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go People asking questions lost in confusion Well I tell them there's no problem Only solutions Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind I tell them there's no hurry... I'm just sitting here doing time I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
This song is deep yet simple Beautiful man just living life and enjoying it with his family, taken away by a mad man , so tragic ! John greatly missed !!! R.I.P John ....... 2:22
Con esta canción siempre voy a recordar a John Lennon. A sus 40 años vivía el mejor momento de toda su vida, nunca sabremos lo que hubiera pasado si no hubiera muerto.
Here I am, 41+ years after Lennon was assassinated, listening to a song that was recorded one month before he was assassinated and it has always been one of my favorites. I can relate to it now in my retirement years. It's hard to imagine how many millions of people have never heard or or heard of it. But that's their loss, not mine. I was blessed to be alive throughout the era of the Beatles and their musical accomplishments as solo artist.
I was 8 when he died, I heard it early morning on the 9th whilst pushing my car's around my floor. His music will never die and as others have said, it makes me sad when I see this guy and think to myself he has been dead 43 years almost, it's another lifetime ago. But he is so very relevent still today.
I'm about your age. I was fifteen and had just bought the album and then he was killed. I was too young to have a crush or any of that but I started listening to the Beatles, thanks to my best friend;s brother who was 10 years older than we were, meaning 6 years old. So in my own way I did grow up with the Beatles, but John Lennon always pushed the boundaries. I still have the album and I still remember crying when he was killed. This also is my favorite song from the album. We live in such crazy times; just slow down and enjoy.
Absolutely my favorite song by John Lennon & one of my favorite songs of all time...I cry everytime I listen to this song...I don't know why...but I do!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama
There are a few songs that cause me to cry.. most from John Lennon or The Beatles. I gave up trying to figure out why. I just know they must be great songs or why else would I continue to listen to them even when they make me cry.
John Lennon is a legend and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know him and about the Beatles but they memorized all kpop groups.I hope someday they hear this kinds of music
A kid in 1964: " Louis Armstrong is a legend and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know him and about the Hot Fives and Sevens but they memorized all British Invasion groups.I hope someday they hear this kind of music." A kid in 2064: " BTS are legends and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know them and about kpop but they memorized all Space Robots from the Future groups.I hope someday they hear this kind of music."
Way back in college.. my classmates call me weird because im listening beatles, most of my songs in my phone are beatles, john lennon , beegess, carpenters, they dont know who is john lennon is. . They just knows one direction, Justin beiber, lady gaga etc.
John and paul were simply the greatest 2 songwriters of all time! What were the chances of them being born at the same time, in the same town of the same country?!? We were blessed.
I was 9 years old and watching football with my uncle when Howard Cosell announced John's death. Im 49 years old now but remember that night clearly. Gone too soon!! RIP
I was with my grandfather watching Monday night football and I remember Howard Cosell interrupted the game with this horrible news . This album reminds me of my youth and all my choice I still had . I just graduated from high school in 1980 and I went to Hollywood to be a musician and photographer while doing the college thing . It was the best years of my life . .Since I grew up 60 miles from Los Angeles . I was forever Grateful that John didn't fold and get the Beatles back together . I admired him for always putting his priorities first and never Selling out ! Thank you John .
When I hear this song, I always listen with a twinge of sorrow. What John could and would have done. He had rebuilt his life post Beatles and was happy and in love. Well, I know he and George are playing and partying in the heaven for rockers. He truly deserves to have that freedom, he earned it. Rest in Peace John. You did spread love ~~~ Peace and Tranquility
Thank you Matt. Good to know there are other common folks. I"ll listen to John anytime. He tried to make the world a better place. Oh yeah, he is rockin' with George, that is a n0-brainer. Always with peace and Tranquility to you.......
For the other half of the sky Woman, I can hardly express, My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness, After all I'm forever in your debt, And woman, I will try to express, My inner feelings and thankfulness, For showing me the meaning of success, Ooh, well, well, Ooh, well, well, Woman, I know you understand The little child inside the man, Please remember my life is in your hands, And, woman, hold me close to your heart, However distant don't keep us apart, After all it is written in the stars, Ooh, well, well, Ooh, well, well, Woman, please let me explain, I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain, So let me tell you again and again and again, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever, I love you (yeah, yeah).
Lennon was ahead of our time....it takes the right moment in your life for you to undestand this song. You must be at the right place mentally...if tou got it ghen consider your self blessed.
I think there's a place where someone gets to where this is the best song ever made. I hope it gives a confident reminder that the truth can set you free.
Timeless voice! Lyrics are so relevant to me now! Gave up watching tv/sports/social media two years ago! Just had to let it go!!!! Never been happier! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
jjosport that mother wasn’t right. There are problems. All this comment of yours made me think of is created chaos, and ultimately a solution provided by tptb to ingratiate themselves to the population by seemingly having a solution to the problems, when they often created the problems to begin with. Wake Up!
This is the greatest song lyrically, along with the video that accompanies it ever!! John is telling us that life is all about family and making memories- and in the end he found that.
One of my favorite songs of his. It's a nod to simply slow down and enjoy life the way you want to and everyone's course is different. John was at peace with his life and content with where he was at that point in time having Sean
I've heard this song thousands of times. I've never seen this video. Watching it now that I'm older, through the eyes of a father. I wept. Sure we missed out on more music, but he was robbed of the chance to see his children grow up. That's more tragic than anything.
God, how I miss John....Beautiful video and song...left me in tears. John let it all go the last several years of his life and was a loving Dad to Sean and that time must have been the happiest for him, Yoko and Sean. I wished he had that bond with Julian, but unfortunately, circumstances of life prevented that. ...This being the eve of the 37th anniversary of John's passing (December 8th, 1980), is always an emotional time for me...and all who loved John and the Beatles...they were a huge part of my life growing up and will never be forgotten. That Christmas back in 1980, my sister gave me the Double Fantasy album...I had really wanted it for Christmas that year. I still have it in perfect condition and I will treasure it always. God Bless your beautiful soul John. I aspire to do my part so that we all can live together in peace, love and harmony, as one...it would be the greatest tribute we could ever give John
@Debbie Smith ,,,,this sounds like a good book. Did Larry write about John's everyday life,,,,what he was going through at the time....what were John's opinions on his life? Personality rather than the band tour and songs.
He was one of the greatest song writers who ever lived. This is the most transparent lyrics you could ever hear from a recording artist. Just listen to what he's saying.
probably the greatest, more transparent than Bob Dylan and McCartney, only Bob Marley can address a listener as directly as John Lennon did through his music
Tragic is an understatement. The idea that one man stole so much away from so many, from the WORLD, its discouraging and leaves a sick feeling in my knotted stomach. The beauty and ever so unique ideology or, ideals that were snuffed out at such an early age of a man who had endless talent and devotion, passion...truly breaks my heart. I believe his untimely death was government/CIA sanctioned, personally. But despite my 'conspiracy theory' I'm sure we can all believe and agree that it was an unspeakable sin and crime against humanity, and much more, to take this brilliant and innocent man's life.
Sexy Curvy Girl 1974 nah i doubt u would,he stood for womens rights,but not loony left women men haters and pro abortion (many say is murder )and crazy antifa,plus i know he was %100 a brexiteer who hated the globalists,theres vid of him talking about the crazies leaders who are globalist.All you need is love,like Jesus said.
At a certain point one has nothing more to prove and oh so much to give. John got to that point. So many don't. This song is a little gift. Peace in 2021, all.

Yes, but he did live.
Rest in peace John. You may not be here but your voice can still be heard around the world.

And neither could John's fans. Even those that didn't like John's music wanted to hear this all the time. I was 17 then. Now, I'm 60 and after 43 years, I find the song still has meaning.

Yes I agree 💯 love John Lennon songs I remember in 1980 when I was 14
Destroyed by a madman
what's strange is that apparentally he hated his own voice

Wow uknow thatjonhhaos yoko oh thats bad thinkinhb
I feel the same! I have such a deep affinity for what he represented,it's just indescribable. I will always listen to his music and be a fan.
Don't Cry Just Enjoy Life 🙏 RESPECT 💯🌹
So!!!! True, He put Life. in a Song.🎤🎼
Basically the ONLY musical artist (genius) whose passing made/makes me cry. This album is a masterpiece.
As I grow older (41 at the moment), this song takes on deeper meaning. I see many people struggling and fighting so hard for the things they think they need, the things they believe will define and complete them, and yet I feel no need to struggle so hard for things that ultimately mean so little.
My hope is that with time, others will see that all we really need to pursue is inner happiness.
I liked it the first time i heard it, 5 years old probobly.....i'm 39 now. The older i get the more i understand it
Where duz inner happiness come from? Only from the heart of those sadhus who have inner happiness.
Inner happiness is not self created.
well said, takes awhile to get it, but finally, like you i did,,, HEALTH,, the rest,, the universe,,,, then it becomes less of a headache,,,cheers
I'm 25 years old and I have realized that my peace of mind is more important that all of my dreams combined (insert peace of mind song of Boston) after suffering from depression. Some people think I'm crazy for giving up my former ambitious self at such a young age but when will they understand, I don't know. As my idol John Lennon once said, "I just like watching the wheels go round and round".
John totally got it!!!!
There are no problems, only solutions
What a beautiful soul!!
Three minutes of pure joy in this video
The solution is simply Letting Go 🙏
@aanii2878 there is duality in everything, let go to much and you are adrift, hold on to tight and you are fighting the tide. The letting go must be in the accepting of the ebb and flow, and wisdom might be in the knowing of both. Peace
IMAGINE ... it's been over 40 years since he left us ...December '80 ...
He was only 40 then...
@@jc-16. That was an awesome comment
His death still haunts me. One of the greatest losses of my 59 years. He was & is the greatest, the GOAT. Thank you John for being.
Yes I agree 💯 John Lennon passing away still haunts me I remember in 1980, when I was 14,miss him,still love his music
Pretty pathetic an idol is one of the greatest losses compared to a family member wow!
@@DannyBZ9 You obviously know nothing of me or the family who kept me locked in a cage as a child & feed me table scraps, while beating me for pleasure. Troll someone else arsehole.
@@scottferguson2278 enjoy your satanic idols my friend
Hey Scott. I was a teenager at the time and it upended my life. A tragic loss .
The fact that he was murdered and robbed of his golden years with his family and legacy is what's most depressing.
Let's not forget how he beat his first wife while addicted to smack
@Planeswalker Maybe I can acknowledge his wrongdoings while still supporting his music
@Planeswalker To quote the philosopher Nicholson, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
@@SirPdog What's your point? That he deserved to die for beating his wife?
RIPTOTHEREALHARAMBE which he did once and apologised for?
My dad and I had an amazing bond over music and this was our song. He passed away last July and today I'm sobbing listening to this. Life's so beautiful and fragile
Sorry for the loss of your father..
Im sorry brother, keep this song
Your dad passed down some brilliant tunes for u to remember him by. He's sounds a very clever man.
R.i.P
Sorry about your Dad , Parker ....
Sending you healing 💚
The older I get the more sense this makes and reflects how I choose to live now. Will always be missed but never forgotten. It has been a pleasure sharing John's music with my kids as they grew up.
probably my favorite Lennon's song. I feel like he's being the most sincere here.
"I just have to let it go."
Between this and Nobody Told Me.
Perfect lyric!!!
It is his best solo, but Yoko made sure Julian was never part of the family. POS.
"Woman"
80 years ago a legend was born. We only had him for 40 of those years, and it still makes no sense why.
He was a sacrifice.
My wife says another legend was born 51 years ago today..😉 thats what brought me here..
Still believe in karma, kids?
.... best not to try make sense of anything .... life unfolds in the most abstract ways sometimes that all can be said is that it's a TRAGIC COMEDY SHOW
My sister & him share the same day. I cried so hard that day. I wish he were still here.
What a legend… his best song.
one of my favorites as well
Here Dec 8 2024 RIP John 🙏🎶🙏🎶
This has to be THE BEST song ever written about personal introspection and life direction and self awareness. It's John Lennon answering his critics and singing you a personal accounting of his life at that stage.
So many great insights on his last 2 records.
-I tell them there's no problems only solutions
-After all's been said and done you can't go pleasing everyone so screw it
-Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

What's a nice singgggggg this is♥️‼️
It's a wonderful response to his critics. How could he be allowed to live.
@@user-ww4bw9qe9h Megan. By 'his critics' it was a reference to those in the music industry and others who criticized him for taking such a long time out of the public eye when he concentrated on bringing up Sean. As for your comment about him not being allowed to live, I take it that you reference his probable assassination when he strated getting musically and politically active again?
@@garryharriman7349 yes.Indeed. After he met Yoko his direction became more purposeful shall we say and in whose interests that didn't bode well. He was so influential. With regard to his taking the time out to be with his son I congratulate him I completely understand despite what the music critics might have said.. I relate to this song so well.
I know Yoko and Sean are grateful to be able to have this video to watch whenever they miss John
What about Julian
I miss my mom. She died at 80. She liked John over Paul ❤
@@Catherine-n5l Julian was much older than Sean when John was killed, he actually has memories with his Father, while Sean on the otherhand only has this.
He did his best work by himself. He never needed a band!!!!!!😊❤
I love Johns solo work but come on nothing can’t match the magic he produced with the Beatles
😉 I wouldn't say that but I suppose he was the walrus.
Yes but it brought out the best of the 2 best songwriters of the 20th century.
You say that, but he's not playing every instrument in this song. So there is a band
Parenthood and fatherhood. A loving precense and collaboration. Unity. So integral. A beautiful message and transmission. Wholeness is holy. Balance is beautiful.
John Lennon deserted his 1st wife and son Julian for a Japanese woman who wasn't even attractive. By all accounts she broke the Beatles up. Ask Ringo and Paul 😊
@deangregg9313 You can call Lennon out for being a horrible husband and father without being racist and misogynistic. Hope this helps!
One of the best songs ever recorded...when you consider the songwriter and his career....a masterpiece
Yes I agree 💯 a master piece, awesome singer and song writer John Lennon
This was Norm MacDonald favorite song, Rest In Glory my friend.
The last song he shared on his Twitter.. RIP to Lennon and Norm.. 😢
:(
We've lost him, and Hartman. Just sad
I so love this song, so many memories. This song illustrates that John was going through all the changes in life that we all go through, but on a much bigger scale. To go from the member of the most famous band ever to being a regular dad must of quite the challenge, but he seemed to adapt to it well and seemed genuinely happy. Sean was so loved by his papa. Blessings to all.
Norm MacDonald brought me here.
December 8, 1980 one of the worst days in my life. RIP John, you are missed.
8TH DECEMBER IS ALSO ONE OF THE WORST DAYS OF MY LIFE, HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT HAPPENED 40 YEARS AGO. BUT WILL NEVER FORGET HOW I FELT ON HEARING THE NEWS OF HIS MURDER. WONDER WHAT HE'D THINK OF TODAYS MUSIC
I recall that horrible day. I was a senior at The University Of Texas and heard the news on the radio. (remember those?) Called my best friend and my girl friend and we all went down to Zilker Park. There must have been a thousand people out there. No one spoke. We all lit candles and walked around in sadness and shock. Imagine if John were alive today... Imagine...
If it makes you feel better, I've been practicing piano and singing "imagine" for a while now and this december im going to play and sing louder than ever
40 years... ok boomers
Yup
How anyone could end such a wonderful person is beyond me. Thank you for your beautiful music and life Mr Lennon.
central bankers killed John Lennon and now the world is more the way they want it and less the way John wanted it.
@@EsterStPaul julion did great, your wrong.
religious fruitcakes when someone points out an objective statistic about the youth starting to prefer art over an outdated barbaric cult called christianity
The more I learn about this Chapman fellow the more I think he's a real jerk.
MK ultra . He spread love and the powers above didn't like it
The man had an open heart and an open mind. He found peace of mind in his musical writing. When a person has peace of mind they're carefree and happy.
If this doesn’t bring a tear to your eyes, somethings wrong. John was loving this second chance of being a father. You can truly tell he just loved being Sean’s dad. It’s beautiful really. Being a father is a special, beautiful blessing.
I could listen to this song a million times and never get sick of it! Wait !!! I have!
The best song that he ever wrote. RIP John Lennon.
Forty years ago today, and he is still missed as much.
Never met the man in person but I surely love John Lennon. Totally inspiring and comforting
I've known and loved this song since I was a teen. Didn't truly understand until just now what John meant by "I just have to let it go"... I love you, John.
Same here!
True and I believe I understand it since I'm a little older and hopefully a little wiser.
significa che tutto scorre, devi lasciare sapere andare
That is the thing about great music. It is great even if you don't understand the words then gets even better when you do. John, Paul and George all seem to have that gift. Might explain why I so loved their music when I was a kid but like it even more now.
Beautiful Baby Sean.
His Mother & Father Loved Each Other.
This Kind Of Love Leave A Crack Of Light Through The World's Darkness.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
His voice connects on a very deep spiritual level....you know when he really means it.
It really does ❤
Child of Nature for example
Perfect song for my recovery. Thank You John Lennon. Rest in peace my Brother.
John Lennon is something else.
The thing that his solo masterpieces and the ones with The Beatles are still been listened is amazing. But thinking that in all these years no one have been able to be even close to the level of composition of John Lennon or The Beatles, just make me appreciate then even more. John, Paul, George and Ringo are really one in humanity existence.
Been a Beatles fan for over 40 years and the more the time pass, the more I admire John songwriting skills.
I first heard this song at the ending period of my reckless life. A new beginning with my son being born and countless of memories to be had and joy to be shared. My favorite Beatle song .
It’s sad to think that his death anniversary is turning 40 this year and he only lived 40 years. We miss you so much John. Gone way to soon.
I hope they figure out this virus crap because I would love to see a big celebration for him. I was born in '85 but I grew up being an obsessive Beatles fan. John Lennon is my favorite of all 4 though I love them all. His music got me through some tough times.
I’m Not The Walrus, Are You? Wow, forty yrs. that is crazy. I was six yrs old, didn’t know who the Beatles were, but knew something major happened. God I get so mad every time I think about it.
@@benringenberg6265 I was 12 years old, and grew up listening to my older brother's Beatles albums. I remember the horror and hurt of his murder. I came home from school and my mum told me he had died. And I remember I said "Was it drugs?" and she said "No, a madman shot him outside his home".
It still makes me feel sick thinking about that news today, the disbelief, pain and anger. And I was a kid who never even met him! But that was the power and charisma of John Lennon, so many felt personally bereft. He was here such a short time, only half his natural life. Yet he touched many millions of people with his vision and his music. I'm just glad he had joy in his personal life with his wife Yoko and their little boy, and his elder son Julian who he was making plans to see more of. It's the cruellest injustice for them that a nobody was able to steal him from them forever.
@@glamdolly30 you pretty much captured exactly my feelings on the tragedy. It still, and will always, hurt. The anger is almost overwhelming sometimes.
@@benringenberg6265 Thanks, it's somehow reassuring to know others feel these powerful emotions about someone they never met. I'm sure like me you sometimes watch these videos and wish by some miracle you could jump into shot and warn him, and stop the tragedy from happening. It's as crazy as watching film of the Kennedy assassination over and over, hoping it will have a different ending if you play it enough times.
We cannot change the past, only the future. John Lennon always looked forward with hope, never back with regret. I'm sure that's how he'd want us to live our lives too. God bless. X
Missing you today 12/8/22 - and every day. Your boys are well and the world still loves you.
Even if the Nixon Administration didn't! 🤣
I wonder how many great songs like this that we'd have today if he wasn't senselessly killed.He was a musical genius.
Me too. I wonder what this world and especially his sons lost.
Sooo true!!! May LOVE BE AroundZ the WORLD!!PEACE✌🙌🙌🙌LOVE ALL BEAUTIFUL!!!
✨⭐FoREVer!!!⭐✨⭐
💚💙 AMO!!! 💚💙
Chapman won't get out...even thought hinkley did?!
John Lennon wrote the songs he was supposed to write and then he was taken. Sad, yes. I miss Mr. Lennon. Saw him on the Dick Cavett show and thought “this is one cool dude”. I was 5 when I thought that. Yes, John Lennon reaches everyone. Rip, Mr. Lennon. Sir John.
@BeatleManiac i hope he gets out. There's no way he will live more than a week after that
I'm a big Beatles & solo John Lennon fan. Rest in Peace, Mr. Lennon. YOUR MAGIC LIVES ON. These last few years, I have lost several family members very dear to me. Wrestling with my grief, I have to often remind myself to be grateful for the times we did have together ❤️
I am 69 yrs old and still shed tears over John Lennon, It will and has never been the same..
you not alone Kate. i miss him, always.
John Lennon is one of my favorite artists, he's so soulful and genuine. He really was apart of setting the standard for what it means to be a quality human being.
He was a women beater
@@ryanthoroman3293 Evidence?
@@bxhrbr4940 just look it up the evidence is everywhere
Still a great man despite that flaw.
I miss John so very much, His music has and will always be a part of my life. This video makes me smile. Seeing all of them together and knowing he was able to be really happy for awhile.
This is such a bittersweet video, if only because John was so happy, deeply in love with Yoko and Sean, and the whole experience of being a father, only to have it all wiped away for nothing, by a nothing - a disturbed person who can never fathom who and what he took away from John’s family and friends, and all of those who appreciated his talents. I really hope that it gives comfort and peace to Yoko and Sean as it’s such a testament to how much they were treasured. For their sake, I’m so glad that they took these home movies of their time together, and I am grateful that Yoko shared a little bit of their lives together. She didn’t have to, but she did, and we, his fans, can see how the lyrics of the song really were John at peace.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round

Why are we always chasing money and success?
Stop, think and smell the roses.
Angus Yates That's because most of us on this planet are so brainwashed to the point where they have actually gone blind.
Love this GUY and this song is PRICELESS 😭😭😭 🇨🇦 🇮🇹 💖🎶
His song "Imagine" says it all so simply and effectively. Yet all those years later in 1980 he gave us this. I know myself along with his millions of other fans would have liked to see what else he had coming but that was stolen from us all when his life was stolen by a crazy person.

Here I am, 41+ years after Lennon was assassinated, listening to a song that was recorded one month before he was assassinated and it has always been one of my favorites. I can relate to it now in my retirement years. It's hard to imagine how many millions of people have never heard or or heard of it. But that's their loss, not mine. I was blessed to be alive throughout the era of the Beatles and their musical accomplishments as solo artist.
☮️
Yes I agree,I'm 56 now and I remember the Beatles in the 70s, and John Lennon in1980, when I was 14,so sad he passed away,may John Lennon RIP 💐
I was 8 when he died, I heard it early morning on the 9th whilst pushing my car's around my floor. His music will never die and as others have said, it makes me sad when I see this guy and think to myself he has been dead 43 years almost, it's another lifetime ago. But he is so very relevent still today.
All over a book huh?
I'm about your age. I was fifteen and had just bought the album and then he was killed. I was too young to have a crush or any of that but I started listening to the Beatles, thanks to my best friend;s brother who was 10 years older than we were, meaning 6 years old. So in my own way I did grow up with the Beatles, but John Lennon always pushed the boundaries. I still have the album and I still remember crying when he was killed. This also is my favorite song from the album. We live in such crazy times; just slow down and enjoy.
Absolutely my favorite song by John Lennon & one of my favorite songs of all time...I cry everytime I listen to this song...I don't know why...but I do!!!
Much love from Mobile Alabama
There are a few songs that cause me to cry.. most from John Lennon or The Beatles. I gave up trying to figure out why. I just know they must be great songs or why else would I continue to listen to them even when they make me cry.
John Lennon is a legend and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know him and about the Beatles but they memorized all kpop groups.I hope someday they hear this kinds of music
A kid in 1964: " Louis Armstrong is a legend and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know him and about the Hot Fives and Sevens but they memorized all British Invasion groups.I hope someday they hear this kind of music."
A kid in 2064: " BTS are legends and I’m devastated when my classmates don’t know them and about kpop but they memorized all Space Robots from the Future groups.I hope someday they hear this kind of music."
@@MathTravels Every generation gets its legends. We had John.

@@jeanpaulconfesor2504 Me either.
@@jeanpaulconfesor2504 Same here! Feel like the Beatles community has gotten a lot smaller in recent years

One of the most poetic artist I think we ever heard in the music industry today .. always will be missed..
Happy Birthday, John. The world misses you. And it needs you now more than ever. ❤️😔
I couldn't agree with you more!!
His music is timeless and beautiful. I so miss the man. I miss hearing his voice.
The most beautiful Voice in Rock Roll History ... Ever ...
The most perfect Lennon song ever.....in my opinion....so many to choose.....
I was 9 years old and watching football with my uncle when Howard Cosell announced John's death. Im 49 years old now but remember that night clearly. Gone too soon!! RIP
You're 13 years older than me.
I remember that moment clearly, i was 10 when it happened
I was with my grandfather watching Monday night football and I remember Howard Cosell interrupted the game with this horrible news . This album reminds me of my youth and all my choice I still had . I just graduated from high school in 1980 and I went to Hollywood to be a musician and photographer while doing the college thing . It was the best years of my life . .Since I grew up 60 miles from Los Angeles . I was forever Grateful that John didn't fold and get the Beatles back together . I admired him for always putting his priorities first and never Selling out ! Thank you John .
Love him,I remember when the world was robbed of this genius like it was yesterday,I was 18 I'm 57 now ,still stunned
One of his absolute best post-Beatles songs.
When I hear this song, I always listen with a twinge of sorrow. What John could and would have done. He had rebuilt his life post Beatles and was happy and in love. Well, I know he and George are playing and partying in the heaven for rockers. He truly deserves to have that freedom, he earned it. Rest in Peace John. You did spread love ~~~ Peace and Tranquility
James Lye As do good common folk.
Thank you Matt. Good to know there are other common folks. I"ll listen to John anytime. He tried to make the world a better place. Oh yeah, he is rockin' with George, that is a n0-brainer. Always with peace and Tranquility to you.......
For the other half of the sky
Woman, I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman, I will try to express,
My inner feelings and thankfulness,
For showing me the meaning of success,
Ooh, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,
Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And, woman, hold me close to your heart,
However distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
Ooh, well, well,
Ooh, well, well,
Woman, please let me explain,
I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah).
Wrong song jeje
Yes he definitly matured and found himself, another remarkable song on the same album
This is one of those songs that I like BECAUSE of the lyrics. Usually the lyrics in songs are secondary for me, but Lennon's lyrics are so real
Lennon was ahead of our time....it takes the right moment in your life for you to undestand this song. You must be at the right place mentally...if tou got it ghen consider your self blessed.
I finally understand this song,jonn Lennon is the Beatles! He left the spotlight to be a family man how beautiful is that,all my respect!
He may have only been on this earth for 40 years but his music and legacy will live forever
This makes me wanna cry I miss John Lennon we love you John
John Lennon died 15 years before I was born. He’s still my favourite singer of all time and he is the biggest musical genius of all time
I think there's a place where someone gets to where this is the best song ever made. I hope it gives a confident reminder that the truth can set you free.
This song is now 41 years old!!
Released 13th March 1981.
God bless you John Winston Lennon 💖🕊️

Rest In Peace John...38 years ago❤️
Es un cantante de otra galaxia
I remember when "Double Fantasy" came out. This was one of the best songs on the album. A few months later, Lennon was gone. Such a tragedy.
"I tell them there's no problems, only solutions."
Say what you will about John but that is transcendent thinking
My husbands motto 🙌
sweet :)
That's what I tell my kids when they come to me with a problem. Then we figured a solution.
He may have taken that from Mother Theresa who said something to the effect, there are no problems, only opportunities. Both make perfect sense.
jjosport that mother wasn’t right. There are problems. All this comment of yours made me think of is created chaos, and ultimately a solution provided by tptb to ingratiate themselves to the population by seemingly having a solution to the problems, when they often created the problems to begin with. Wake Up!
This is the greatest song lyrically, along with the video that accompanies it ever!! John is telling us that life is all about family and making memories- and in the end he found that.
One of my favorite songs of his. It's a nod to simply slow down and enjoy life the way you want to and everyone's course is different. John was at peace with his life and content with where he was at that point in time having Sean
You'd probably like a band called The Doublejumps if you like John Lennon's music
44 years ago. Mercy, how we've missed you. ❤
I've heard this song thousands of times. I've never seen this video. Watching it now that I'm older, through the eyes of a father. I wept. Sure we missed out on more music, but he was robbed of the chance to see his children grow up. That's more tragic than anything.
I love John's haunting, sweet voice!!! The world misses him every day!! Rest in Peace, John and George!!!!
God, how I miss John....Beautiful video and song...left me in tears. John let it all go the last several years of his life and was a loving Dad to Sean and that time must have been the happiest for him, Yoko and Sean. I wished he had that bond with Julian, but unfortunately, circumstances of life prevented that. ...This being the eve of the 37th anniversary of John's passing (December 8th, 1980), is always an emotional time for me...and all who loved John and the Beatles...they were a huge part of my life growing up and will never be forgotten. That Christmas back in 1980, my sister gave me the Double Fantasy album...I had really wanted it for Christmas that year. I still have it in perfect condition and I will treasure it always. God Bless your beautiful soul John. I aspire to do my part so that we all can live together in peace, love and harmony, as one...it would be the greatest tribute we could ever give John

@Debbie Smith ,,,,this sounds like a good book. Did Larry write about John's everyday life,,,,what he was going through at the time....what were John's opinions on his life? Personality rather than the band tour and songs.
Thank you Mr. Lennon for giving the whole world a hug with just your voice!
RIP.John Lennon!!!!
Hard to believe John has been dead for as long as he was alive.
A TRUE SHAME FRIEND BLESS YOU 🙏😑💝🤝🏼🤝
😞
ohhhh .....yeah...........a sad, weird statistic. Never forget that moment in early december 1980 at the age of 22 for me....
He's alive and well somewhere I feel, probably watching over us, His soul hasn't died.
By 7 February 2021, it will be 40 years and 2 months since he died.
He was one of the greatest song writers who ever lived. This is the most transparent lyrics you could ever hear from a recording artist. Just listen to what he's saying.
probably the greatest, more transparent than Bob Dylan and McCartney, only Bob Marley can address a listener as directly as John Lennon did through his music
I would have loved to see John as a 76 year old
Tragic is an understatement. The idea that one man stole so much away from so many, from the WORLD, its discouraging and leaves a sick feeling in my knotted stomach. The beauty and ever so unique ideology or, ideals that were snuffed out at such an early age of a man who had endless talent and devotion, passion...truly breaks my heart. I believe his untimely death was government/CIA sanctioned, personally. But despite my 'conspiracy theory' I'm sure we can all believe and agree that it was an unspeakable sin and crime against humanity, and much more, to take this brilliant and innocent man's life.
He would have a long gray beard and shout "Saruman has nothing on me!!" from the balcony
John would stay the heck away from twitter

Sexy Curvy Girl 1974 nah i doubt u would,he stood for womens rights,but not loony left women men haters and pro abortion (many say is murder )and crazy antifa,plus i know he was %100 a brexiteer who hated the globalists,theres vid of him talking about the crazies leaders who are globalist.All you need is love,like Jesus said.
John Lennon……We miss you So Much!
I didn’t know this Song……I like it!!
GENIUS!!❤
At a certain point one has nothing more to prove and oh so much to give. John got to that point. So many don't. This song is a little gift. Peace in 2021, all.
