The song is from 1971, so now 51 years old. Unfortunately, we haven't come any closer to Lennon's dreams since then. But you shouldn't give up hope and without people who remind us of the good and give hope, the world would probably be even worse.
The long walk symbolizes as we go through life. The room and yoko his wife's dress and the piano are all white symbolizing purity and the room was dark when they went in and Yoko let in the light that dispelled the darkness in the room.
Indeed....a timeless classic. Most people......at least many......feel as John...or you....or I do when it comes wanting.....hoping for peace.....humankind getting its act together......and treating each other as we would like to be treated. Unfortunately there are people and powers who only care about themselves.....immersed in short sighted self centeredness and greed and will think nothing of cheating other people...killing other people....for their own advancement. Sad and weird that it sometimes takes fighting back to preserve peace. A necessary evil without which we wouldn't exist with the little bit of peace and happiness we have today.
Great reaction. (This is my first time to your channel. Hi :) ... This song for me, reminds me of how I wish we (the world) could be ... what I try to strive for in my life at times... The video has a lot of imagery I think. My interpretations are just mine ... but at the beginning, before they enter the house, there's a sign, and it says, "This is not here." I think what Lennon was trying to say was that what he imagines the world can be, is not yet reality, but...imagine if it were ... As Yoko Ono begins opening the windows, its as if saying to open you mind to the possibilities of living in peace .... Again, just my interpretations. Thank you for reacting to this.
IMAGINE by John "Lennon was inspired by several poems from wife Yoko Ono's 1964 book Grapefruit... Lennon later explained that the song "should be credited as a Lennon/Ono song. A lot of it - the lyric and the concept - came from Yoko, but in those days I was a bit more selfish, a bit more macho, and I sort of omitted her contribution, but it was right out of Grapefruit." "Lennon composed the song one morning in early 1971. It was written on a Steinway piano, in a bedroom at his Tittenhurst Park home in Ascot. Yoko Ono watched on as he composed the melody, chords and most of the lyrics, and nearly completed the whole song in one short writing session." Taken from "The Story of... 'Imagine' by John Lennon" by Tom Eames (October 2020).
Be sober minded with this song although it appeals to many of us we already have the contents of this song and it has brought us to ruin. We have people in countries without possessions Pakistan India and others. We have atheists by the Millions Hoover abandoned God and the church and has corrupted morality and decency. And we have our fill of those who hate our country and show contempt for our country and our traditions. The song asks you to ponder or imagine but we don't have to imagine we already have it and we've had it for a long time no religion no possessions and no God and no country and look where has gotten us I'll say that again look carefully the state of our condition things could not be worse because we have abandoned God tradition family honor and Country why because of a song it's bigger than that we have all been led down the path of a false freedom that puts pleasure and Delight ahead of everything else and has glorified man rather than God.
This song means as much today as it did in 1971when it was released. I always get emotional every time I hear this song becuse of it's deep meaning
thank you ! John is a true the greatest legend

Certain things are immutable. No one can reimagine God, Heaven and Hell.
