![[DRIP] ‘Woke Up In Tokyo (RUKA & ASA)’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QN44lcR_VkI/mqdefault.jpg)
I'll never forget that morning when I was getting ready to go to school and my Mom told be John Lennon had been killed during the night while I slept. It was shocking. It was tragic. It was unbelievable. One of the darkest days of my life.
I was at the Dakota for two nights after and I was at the vigil in Central Park. Still brings the tears after all these years. I was 18.
I was 10 yrs old on holiday in south africa, woke up to my mom crying her eyes out on the balcony. she was unconsolable for days. it took me until i was about 15 to understand.
I woke up to my clock radio and heard one Beatle song after another after another. I switched radio stations and the next one on the dial was a country station that was playing a Beatles song. I went station to station and every one of them was playing Beatles, which really baffled me. So I got up, got dressed, and walked into my living room where my dad had on the morning news. That’s when I finally heard the news.
Imagine is one of John's very best songs, it will live on forever.
Imagine no borders, no possesions, no religion. Sounds like socialism and the tragic way our country is headed.
@@pamelaschweizer337 What's the ugliest part of your body?
Some say your nose
Some say your toes,
I think it's your mind.
@@pamelaschweizer337 Yeah thats whats this shit hippie song is all about.
We already have socialism. What do you think the police and fire department are?
@@Talldude88 ,when l hear this song, l don't why ,l start tearing up.and l wish everyone on this planet can hear the music and maybe just maybe we can have a better planet to live on.
For those of us who lived through the Beatles era, and the assassination of John, I always get a tear in my eye as I sing along to Imagine. John - gone but never forgotten. Very touching and insightful reaction, Sarah ✌️
Me too. Sad sad times 💞
I agree indeed one of if not the most important and beautiful songs ever !
He had a fabulous, distinct, majestic voice.
Just like Yoko Ono 😂😂😂
@@alejandroatoche858 Finger Nails on a chalkboard lol
The Day He was shot , left a scratch in my heart that never will heal. Still today tears fill my eyes ...
WHY???
This makes me cry. I beilive this is the best pop song ever created.
This was not a SONG it was a Belief and an HOPE.
So many haters just refuse to get it. 😢
I hear you brother a great song with meaning- when will the world get it....
The meaning is communism. We get it and we don’t want it. This is straight from the communist manifesto. Almost word for word and in 1971 they were around radical left wingers. John and took
@@cpmf2112 Those with narrow minds!
Amen ❤
Americans especially are so far gone, i dont know if they can ever get it.
I can imagine this world John. And I hope you have found and you’re in that world now. Be At Peace my/ Our friend.
Both in and out of the Beatles the Fab-4 were at a different level!
You're absolutely right. He WAS a genius. And to think that he didn't have any "formal" training in music, makes him even more amazing.
He was just singing about the hope that mankind can finally live in peace and there was no hunger in the world.
Listen to the lyrics, he is talking about socialism and he went that
John Lennon for ever. From Cucuta city Colombia 🇨🇴 South America
An anthem we still need to play sing & believe in. Thanks Sarah.
I get it. Sarah gets it. I'm sure everyone in the comments gets it. And yet there are still so many people in the world whose hearts are filled with prejudice and hatred.
Best song he ever wrote and preformed
The day John Lennon was killed, I was returning home after work. Suddenly, my friend, who was walking next to me, said: "Did you hear that a musician was shot in New York today. John Lennon..."
I still remember how the world around me instantly turned black and the sounds disappeared.
I still can't come to my senses when I remember that moment.
We all miss this man very much. I think this song is one of the strongest in the history of music. Very beautiful and correct. I really want this world to become a better place.
From Russia with love.
Sarah, I sent this to my old friend from junior high school in 1972. We would hang out when we were both 13 years old and after school we would listen to the Imagine album everyday back then. Here is the response he texted me:
Glen, thanks for this. I had a very busy day and just got home. I watched this and the song and watching this person see the video for the first time really struck me! I can say I got a little choked up watching her reactions and thoughts! Sarah has a beautiful heart!
Love you get the message. Some out there dismiss the idea… why? Only a hater of life would think this is stupid. Period.
I love this man...and as a little 6 year old that just lost her dad (he was shot buy a piece of 💩)9 days before john was shot😢😢 I was torn to pieces...and now as a 50 year old..I have a picture of my dad and john on my wall with a little music box that plays this song..they are both in my heart and soul forever ❤
I still adore you! ♥♥
Hopefully we're all dreamers.
Some of the comments are ridiculous. He was thinking of a peaceful world, without all the divisions that allow humans to kill other humans. It was a good message
Seconded...
Wrong, he was promoting Marxism and Communism, Socialism, and Atheism in this song.
@@waynejohanson1083 BULL💩
@@waynejohanson1083 WRONG He wasn’t speaking about politics, just people.
Jeez, talk about misinterpretation@@waynejohanson1083
This was my world view when it was released and I was 13 years old. We still had hope back then for a better world and a better species.
U got that right. All these self-haters need to take responsibility for their "weird" actions! 🤢 Forgive yourself! The hate will disappear!😚
I remember vividly the day that we lost John Lennon. I was in the car driving with my parents and the news came on the radio. I remember my parents reacting and me asking them to repeat what happened 😢My Dad was fighting tears while he repeated the news. I was raised on the Beatles. It seemed impossible to me that such a champion for world peace could be taken from us in such a violent way. He was a gift to the world.
Walking out of the Fog at the beginning . Yoko is seen opening the shades for the windows as to shed light on what John is singing about .
I still dream and believe in/ of peace and wish it upon us all. Still hold hope that one day everyone will get and understand eachothers views beliefs goals. Kindness consideration and willingness gets us there helps the goal we should always be striving for. It’s not to take away from history but to learn very important things about one another. That make us think the way we do. In whatever culture country city village one lives in. Not to say everyone should live exactly like the other but to except one another for our differences. No one thinks there’s a cookie cutter way of life … some think that’s what johns trying to say. Most in the slightest.
Other Lennon peace songs: ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, INSTANT KARMA, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE and HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)
My dad had me and my siblings learn this song in the 80s. In the hopes we might be part of making the world a better place in the future. The dreamers.
It is the future now John, they did not join us, after the 90s it got worse, it got much much worse.
Raise your kids like it's the 70s, it's easy if your try.
Thank you for the great reaction. Certainly this is one of the most important songs bringing out the reality that we are all the same at the root of mankind. We are all humans first. It is fine to be content with our particular culture, but it is a far greater thing to see it as rather superficial compared with human commonality. There are people who clearly see this but not enough to stop what is happening in the world (yet). Perhaps if they join us the world will be as one. Thanks again.
And this man was 1980 killed by a criminal maniac, so sad!
My younger sister was murdered in 1980 before John's murder. He was her favorite Beatle. I hope
Infelizmente, a pesar de ser una GRAN pérdida, estaba escrito. Igual al asesinato de Ghandi, otro GRAN militante pacifista. Los dos librianos, que tienen a Aries como signo de la Tierra
Sad that people dismiss the idea of us living in peace. Breaks my heart. Such a wonderful song,and such a beautiful idea. Close your eyes and IMAGINE.John was a great loss x
This IS the mosr important song ever played. And among the best songs of any genre. I try my best to live this. The world in general doesn't like me. It doesn't matter to me. I refuse to control or hurt others.
Sarah, you have my favorite reaction videos. You have a beautiful spirit, your best is yet to come.
This song came out when i was 4, and there's never been another song that's ever taken that number one spot in my life, this song is so profound i still ha e to stop whatever I'm doing and listen to tge entire song before i can move on.
It's a great message it was also my mother's music I was raised on this music
One of my Favs of his songs 🎹 Thank You for playing it💖
wir sollten die Hoffnung nie aufgeben und uns das Unvorstellbare vorstellen, BITTE
Your reaction and reciting the lyrics... so powerful - Thank You Sarah!
Beautiful song with an important message! Thanks for your reaction, Sarah! ❤
A communist message.
Probably the best written song EVER. If only the world was like that. Thanks John. Btw, this was my high schools senior song 1981.
This song was a timeless statement at a terrible time, the Vietnam War, much like Beethoven’s Ode to Joy at the time of the Napoleonic Wars.
The lyrics are as relevant now as when they were written.
A very special classic that speaks volume. We thank you for this one. I believe you to will enjoy.
We all imagined.
Imagine the people❤️🕊️🙏🏻🤣😂🎶🎶🎶🎸🎻🖐️🙏🏻🙏🏻👻👻☮️☮️☮️x
John Lennon airport in Liverpool.. has a huge placard.. ABOVE US ONLY SKY..
People say Lennon was promoting communism, but he was imagining Heaven on Earth, since when does communism mean no countries?
Global atheist communism. It wouldn’t work, nor is it actually moral, but John’s version is beautiful and convincing. That’s why it’s called “Imagine”
People debate the politics of this song, but people love the song, and love the vision
@@futurereflections4097 the song is nothing to do with communism it's John Lennon imagining what life could be on Earth, because
all the things he sings about are in heaven! If you really want a Revolution song from Lennon then that's "power to the people"
The lyrics were influenced by Yoko's love of Buddhist teachings, the liberation from the ego and attachment,live in the here and now,non violence and peace.
This is the song I live my life by. It is my religion.
It was part of the Olympic opening ceremony with the skater!
Beautiful reaction to the great John Lennon! You might also enjoy his song 'Love' --- another beautiful, and yet simple message of love to his beautiful wife Yoko. Another great song from that time (with a great video of a live performance) is 'Instant Karma (We All Shine On)'. You can't go wrong with John Lennon! Thank you very much, and I am a new subscriber....
I love this song. I also love the scene in the fictional movie Forrest Gump, where when Forrest was on the Dick Cavett Show talking about his experiences on the US Ping Pong team in China during the Ping Pong diplomacy time and John Lennon, Cavett's first guest was still on the stage, when Forrest saying most of the people in China have little or no possessions and no religion. Implying that his story inspired John Lennon to write the song "Imagine".
I lived in California and was lucky enough to get to get close to his star on his Bday thousands of us sang this song I will never forget it
John Lennon was the lead singer of the Beatles just in case you weren’t aware of it.
As was Sir James Paul McCartney, and occasionally Ringo and George.
Great comments, beautiful soul sista
Sarah is simply beautiful!
This and Give Peace A Chance are 2 of my favorites by John, i love all of his music and the rest of the Beatles solo careers but the best was the Beatles all together
Love your reactions Sara ❤
His father passed away when he was only 2 years old & His father would be so proud of him,, Damian (Jr. Gong) Marley "Stand A Chance"...R.I.P. Bob 🙏 ❤
No. He was abandoned by his father and his mother was hit by a by a car by a drunk driver when he was 17.
@@robertmartin1807 You might want to check your facts..And by the way,, His mother is Cindy Breakspeare & She is still quite alive (69)
'Imagine that there was no more religion, no more country, no more politics,' is virtually The Communist Manifesto".. John Lennon to NME 1971. Lennon admitted himself that this was a call for communism.
I was 19 when he was killed. I just couldn't believe it! John Lennon dead! No way! It was the beginning of many unfortunate killings to happen during my 63 years that brought me down. Will we ever wake up!?
of course you heard this song, it is known world wide
❤❤❤
Important oh yeah!
This song was sung at the Olympics this year in Paris
Thanks
John was a fantastic songwriter, sadly he left this earth too young. I’m sure he would have given us so many other important messages. The radio stations play this often during the Christmas season. Probably you’ve heard it there. It usually bring tears when I hear it. Thanks for this.
Thank you beatiful😀
Great reaction❤
If I ever got to meet you I would first cry (joy) and then hug you and hold you as YOU emit pure love!,💗 Keep posting. God Bless you!
It’s a song and lyric that transcends all that we think is important.Some call it communism or anti-religion.It’s about us living in one world together.We can either drag each other down,or bring each other up.The choice is ours in this world.
yep it's all territorial, materialistic, greed, and one upmanship. As a world yes the choice is ours, but as separate countries and religions and individuals....there is no choice. Left to our own devices and poor judgement, we will all end up killing each other, paranoid idiots and all...
This was re-released upon his death in 1980, but its an older song from the album Imagine in 1971.
Hi Sarah 👋 Your telepathy is showing again! You did a reaction to the PENTATONIX version a couple of years ago. 😊
What a perfect song with which to share some great news with you...
The cancer scan came back NEGATIVE, cancer is localized! I will undergo a minor office procedure to trim back a bit of the cancer, then low level radiation therapy with minimal side effects.
Thank you for your sweet reactions that have helped me deal with all this, for your prayers and kind words and encouragement.
Forever your respectful fan, you make the world better. Stay well. 😇🙏🌹😋😊
May you live a happy life and I truly hope you get rid of the cancer for good. My wife had colorectal cancer and has beaten it.
I grew up listening to both the Beatles and John Lennon, and I'm sure I've heard everything both artists have ever produced. Lennon was a once in a lifetime gift. But...
This is John Lennon's self-described anthem to Socialism. As you analyze the lyrics more and more each time you listen, you begin to realize that this anthem leaves nothing much left of the things that make humans happy, both individually and in society: faith, tribe, personal attainment, etc.
Its lyric could easily include "Nothing to Live or Die for..."
You should check out the cover of this song by Pentatonix. I think John Lennon would be very proud of them. It's awesome!
you should listen to the song "Moon and Stars" by AVERE. He wrote it for his 11yo daughter who suffer from depression and anxiety disorders.
It was not the most important song ever written (however you define that?)...but it is a VERY good one!
Remember, this song was written 51 years ago, and still can't understand that war isn't the answer 😢!!!
You should do a react to Steely Dan’s reply: “Only A Fool Would Say That”! ❤❤❤
❤❤
Liverpool John Lennon Airport bears the motto "Above us only sky"
You really should watch the Pentatonix version of this fantastic song. It really shows you what the song is all about!
My mama hated The Beatles but loved this song. Go figure! 😎
Have you done California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas yet?
Blues Traveler does a great cover of this amazing song.
Please play “ Don’t forget to dance” by the Kinks. It is a beautiful song.
Hello, we are the fans of the biggest artist of Iran, Amir Tataloo,he has been arrested and in prison for 8 months, no media has supported him, all his music with English translation is available on his TH-cam, here’s the channel please have a look.
#tataloo #freetataloo #amirtataloo
Utopia literally means “nowhere”
Heard this song a million times over the years. Humanity is in such a bad place as it always has been imo. No better, no worse. Just different. People suck. We are such fools & nothing ever changes.
But this song still gives me a tiny, tiny ounce of hope, even it’s just a dream
🕊️ ☁️
Do Cilla Black, Anyone who had a heart.
John Lennon, what else could this man have given the world?
Hi Sarah, John Lennon "Mother" (the official version) just
emotion, or "The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko"
you have to listen to.
And let's not forget Julia, his love ballad to his mother's memory, one of the most lush and beautiful songs ever, on the White Album.
It's the wef theme song. Bin it.
As relevant today as it was then.
You should do Boots of Spanish leather by Mandolin Orange.
If we could stop mocking cultures & beliefs we don't understand and focus on how we're the same and not different, it could be a beautiful world!
Yes, it is an absolute beautiful song- showing what the world could be! But it,was easy for John Lennon, to sing this iconic song, when he was living in his insulated, ivory tower! I don’t know if he did anything besides sing this song and make incredible profits, or did he use his wealth to help those he sang about?
I don't want to imagine there's no heaven.....
John Lennon's view of the world is just 100% different than mine. That makes it slightly hard to get into.
magical song, sadly will never b realised unless humans actaully evolve............
Imagine having no thought or not caring about anything. No thanks.
Wenn es im guten Sinne egal ist, dann ist Freiheit. Hast Du’s?
The most important song ever is Amazing GRACE .
Yes, Thank you, You get it.
@@waynejohanson1083 Where do you get off telling people what they should cherish and value -- and that religion (and your religion specifically) is all that matters?? What arrogance.
John Lennon was correct. Religion separates people. If there's anything that has caused more war and horror in this world it is mankind's invention of differing religions. If religion had never been invented we would be one step closer to living as one.
@@stevennovakovich2525 EXACTLY !!!!!!!!! time for people to stop this religious shit and live decent lives
@@stevennovakovich2525 The problem is religion was a concept developed thousands of years ago before there was scientific knowledge and understanding, which resulted in fear due to ignorance. It was a way to both reassure and placate people as well as to control and keep them in line. However some people prefer to remain ignorant and believe we should live in the exact same way the masses did when we had far fewer answers and less understanding, and follow everything written in a book under such circumstances literally. Fear and the desire to judge others are two very strong emotions that are hard to shake.
