My father’s favorite song. RIP 🕊️ I often find stones with “Imagine” written on them and I put them on his gravesite every couple of years because they disappear.
One of my favorite songs. A song of peace for a world full of fear and hate. Always contemporary. Always relevant. If you like stuff like this check out Coven - One Tin Soldier.
Good stuff Polo. I was 16 when he died and it gutted me. The opposite of the simplicity of this song is the very upbeat song he does called ‘Whatever Gets You Through The Night.’ I have a feeling you’ll love it too. Peace ☮️
I was working at the mall when the news came through! I wanted to run outta that store so bacly, and I couldn't even cry bc I was working the holiday season
Polo, I was walking through Georgetown in Washington DC. I was 19 at the time. As I approached a record store I heard the piano intro. I stopped in my tracks, then walked into the store as the song roared from the speakers. Within a minute the store was jam packed as everyone was mesmerized. The song ended and there was dead silence as we all processed what we all just heard. The store sold every copy of the LP. I will never forget that day and the impact it had on hundreds of strangers and a unique shared experience that only a member of the Beatles could create.
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever created. It means so much to so many people. The world would be a better place if everyone really listened to this song.
I will always say - if there had never been a Yoko in the scene, there would have been no Beatles breaking up sooo soon. I've been a fan since Jan 1964, still have all my 1960's scrapbooks. I lived and breathed these young guys. I'm not afraid to dislike Yoko. I don't defend her. She was a brilliant strategist. Grand manipulator. She ruined generations of songs we never got to hear. 😊
There are videos on youtube of the late, great Howard Cosell announcing the shocking death of John Lennon during the Monday Night Football broadcast of a game between the Patriots and the Dolphins. If you've never seen that video, you should. It is very emotional and Howard Cosell handled the situation professionally and emotionally.
Im italian and my mother used to play this music when I was young. She was an hippy 'flower child', 'figlia dei fiori' in italian. I remember the first time I heard 'Imagine' by John Lennon, I was captivated. I was really young, but I remember it. The sweet melody and meaningful lyrics of 'Imagine' have the power to touch the deepest chords of the heart. It's extraordinary how his art can connect with emotions and convey such a universal message of peace and hope. Every note feels like a journey through the ages, carrying with it an eternal call to understanding and unity. John Lennon has left an indelible mark on the history of music and the collective consciousness, inspiring generations to seek a better world. His musical legacy is a shining beacon that continues to guide those in search of beauty and meaning in the vastness of music.
I can’t believe this is the first time you’ve heard this. John Lennon is one of the best song writers in history! The greatest Beatle as well! He was taken way to soon.
I can easily believe he hadn't heard it. He's 40 years younger than Lennon and had a chaotic childhood in addition to coming from a different culture and as a young adult his interest in music was focused elsewhere. Way too many whitey boomers seem to assume that the last several decades were the same for everyone.
I literally shed a tear that I was able to witness you watching this incredible song for the first time. It's almost inconceivable to me that you haven't heard this as it's one of the most famous, most played songs across the entire world. But there it is, and here we are.
Greatest song ever written! The message it delivers literally is the answer to the vast majority of the issues we as humanity face all over this world we share!!!
Yea ain't it great no God, no hell, only this life then you become worm food. Lennon even said all he did was put the communist manifesto to a lullaby type song. When he died I thought 1 less commie, that's a good thing. According to your post communism is the answer for the world's ill's. Ask somebody in China how they like communist rule.
_WOW!_ What an insult. It's the communist manifesto - it was communism that bought about all the murder and misery in Cambodia that _The Killing Fields_ is all about.
I remember Dec 8, 1980 - hearing his murder announced on the radio - I was in my kitchen, in complete disbelief. I was 8 years old when I first heard the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show - my life changed that day and it changed again on Dec 8, 1980.
Grew up with the Beatles. A young black teenager living in Texas, and my friends and family could not believe me and my best friend - we were crazzzy about the Beatles! Paul was my favorite, and at 73 yrs old, I still love them. John’s passing was devastating to me as young woman with my own family at the time of his death. My children to this day listen to all genres of music, and they thank me for that. I , still play their music….great song writers!
Can’t believe you never heard this song. It’s one of the most played songs. It’s an iconic song and one of the most beautiful songs ever written. John Lennon is a great song writer
I remember when John died. I was in a movie theater, watching a movie. They stopped the movie and came out to announce that he had been shot. People got up and left and started crying. We were all in shock.
This song completely changed the way I thought about everything. Truly changed my life. I'm 62 years old and am still trying to live my life by the simple tenants John sang about.
This is an amazing song and I’m shocked that you’ve never heard this one. Surely once it starts you will remember some little detail?! It’s a classic, and the words are extremely heartfelt. Looking forward to your reaction.
This song has been an inspiration for my life from the first time I heard it a long time ago. Not only is it beautiful musically, the lyrics are truly inspirational.
I grew up with the Beatles.... Imagine was around my senior year of high school, so much going on, Viet Nam, etc. He was encouraging folks to see beyond......to imagine a better way of getting along. Another song (Beatle era) Across the Universe.... lyrics there are brilliant as well. Thanks for taking a listen, Lennon cannot be forgotten, he contributed so much........I appreciate your coverage of this, and it is obvious you LOVE music and what you are doing. Keep it up!
❤ This could be my very favorite song. ❤ I loved watching you hear it the first time. Another song that speaks to your soul and helps to heal your heart.❤ Much Love Polo ❤
I am 68 years old , this has always been my favorite song... he once was an original Beatle ... John Paul George Ringo.... love love love John ... he was murdered, young... gone but not forgotten
It’s very very hard for someone to listen to something and have the same experience of people who lived the song. There are memories attached to some songs that pop up while listening to it. Some songs actually have the ability to take you back in time…, It’s magical …
I'm a dreamer, and i know i am not the only one ! This is as beautiful today as it was back then. Unfortunately the message still hasn't been heeded . Love to see you experience this for the first time , it's purely something else ! Peace n love from Australia 😎✌
ICONIC peace track. John was not only an incredibly talented musician, singer/songwriter, but also a true visionary. He sang about peace & love, which sounds so corny today in our self-indulgent, capitalist world, but he was so sincere. He left the #1 band *in the history of music* (at the time), to try and live a simpler life and make music that suited him, not the record companies. Some of the music was a little out there, but his loyal fans followed him. I remember when he was shot & killed. I was in 10th grade. I cried and cried. It was such an *assault* on humanity. Such a tragedy.
Man, hard to think about someone not having heard this song. It is timeless, and the lyrics are universal. Haven't heard it for many years. Thanks for playing!
This is, without a doubt, the most iconic symbol of peace. His son finally performed it live after stating it would take the end of the world for him to do his father’s song. He cited the war in Ukraine as his reason to do the song. IMHO, his other Iconic song was Give Peace a Chance, done during a “bed in” during the Vietnam war. It was his idea of a sit in, but in a manner that allowed for an inclusive group of people to join him in his room. Thank you for this wonderful expression of your view on Imagine. It was very well said.
This is from the Imagine album. Also, his last album Double Fantasy was released the month before he was murdered. Both albums have great songs on it. It is said that Double Fantasy is one of the most valuable albums out there. I treasure both albums. John wrote, produced and sang many songs about peace. You might want to also give a listen to Starting Over. Thanks for a great reaction. 👏👏💔
There was a postumous album, put together by Yoko, titled "Milk and Honey." The song "Grow Old With Me," a riff on Robert Browning, and a wish for his relationship with Yoko, was on that album.
This is one of the Greatest Songs ever written...by ex Beatle John Lennon.. the others were written by either John Lennon and or Paul McCartney or George Harrison as members of The Beatles......the Greatest Rock Group in History
Hi Mr. Polo, Mr. John is saying if there were no Countries and no Religion there would be no wars and we could live as one.. And I think he is Right.. ♠Mr.G..
This song was so far before it's time. I first heard it at church from our choir director. I was attracted to the melody and the voice. So unique and unusually dreamy. When I listened to the words, I was totally in love with this song and felt it should be a world wide hit song. If the lyrics of this song came true, I'd never want to pass away.
He was one of the Beatles, four of the most famous people of any time on this planet. And the greatest band of all time. They changed music, fashion and culture. Anything you check out from them is pretty awesome. My favorite solo Lennon track is #9 Dream. Hope you react to it some day.
I graduated from High School in the Bible Belt and our class picked this song to play while we came into the auditorium and when we left! I’m sure LOTS of other graduates did the same. ❤ is all you need. ❤❤❤
One of the most enduring pieces of music from Lennon. He and his wife, Yoko Ono (the woman in the video) were most controversial in their time, but his disenchantment with the divisiveness of the world led to jewels like this one.
One of my favourite and sad songs. It is the final song of the beautiful film "The Killing Fields" on Cambodia. You should watch it, based on a real story.
maybe it's just me but thinking back to the late 60's early 70's and the idealistic goals we though we could achieve and looking around today I see very little of that promise being realized. It just makes me sad that I couldn't leave this world a much better place than the one I grew up in. Seems like we're running in place sometimes.
Yes, we were idealists, picketing for peace and love. Flower children just wanting to imagine a safer, better world. You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. ✌️
Try Help sung by John Farnham an Australian but it is a Beatles song originally sung by John Lennon and Paul McCartney but John said the way John Farnham sang it was the best
Danced with my mother at my wedding to this. Her favorite song. And one of my favorites to play on the piano. There will however come a day where it will hurt too much to hear or play....but till then....I'm loving it!!
The words of this song are so powerful and have been relevant throughout time. The simplicity of the song is so completely profound in its accuracy of how completely simple it would be too late to rest the wars, The division, and overall noise that stops us from living harmoniously together. John, you had foresight and wisdom beyond your time. I hope I live to see your dream and mine come to fruition.
In the age of custom recommendations by each streaming platform, it's very easy for younger generations to never have heard of a thing. I've been noticing that after miving to a different country I simply don't get nearly the same new content recommendation than my colleagues at work because even that is affected by stuff your friends send you =)
Imagine is a world peace standard for decades. All Across the Universe is another gorgeous one by John. My favorite. ❤ Also- A Day in the Life- I think the Beatles’ greatest song. Mostly John- a little Paul in the middle. It’s mindblowing to this day.

My father’s favorite song. RIP 🕊️
I often find stones with “Imagine” written on them
and I put them on his gravesite every couple of years
because they disappear.
One of my favorite songs. A song of peace for a world full of fear and hate. Always contemporary. Always relevant. If you like stuff like this check out Coven - One Tin Soldier.
Now do a perfect circle cover of imagine
Good stuff Polo. I was 16 when he died and it gutted me. The opposite of the simplicity of this song is the very upbeat song he does called ‘Whatever Gets You Through The Night.’ I have a feeling you’ll love it too. Peace ☮️
Never heard John Lennon/ Imagine????
The hymn of my generation. I still hold this in my heart.
This is the communist national anthem, no thanks. Sucks.
And this is why we all cried when he died.
I haven’t stopped crying yet
💖
I whole-heartedly agree with that statement.🙏💖🙏
After John Lennon was murdered, all radio stations simultaneously played this song in tribute to Lennon. He was and remains an Icon.
Yoko had it played on his birthday,too.
OH YOKO.... SHE WOULDN'T SHARE WITH HIS OWN BLOOD AFTER HIS DEATH. BLESS YOU JULIAN 💙
I was working at the mall when the news came through! I wanted to run outta that store so bacly, and I couldn't even cry bc I was working the holiday season
@@mindfulyourlife9247shh, working for the mail 🥴
A cry for a secular society, needed today more than ever.
..said every dictator that ever lived.
Mind games! #9 dream, Watching the wheels, ballad of john & yoko!

As a bookend to this song, listen to John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance". Great anthem of a generation.
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever created. It means so much to so many people. The world would be a better place if everyone really listened to this song.
He never got to see the impact it made
“Starting Over” by John Lennon.
If this was the only thing John did, his life would have been fulfilled. Incredible message and delivery.
It became a prayer for many of us who had hoped the 60s was the start of something beautiful- peace and brotherhood. We somehow dropped the ball.
No, we started the ball rolling. All that needs to go will come up for a while, but the seeds were planted.
Drugs was the fallacy...it was the downfall
@@KimberlyBishh the "downfall" was the conservative backlash against liberal human rights and equality, and women's reproductive rights.
I will always say - if there had never been a Yoko in the scene, there would have been no Beatles breaking up sooo soon. I've been a fan since Jan 1964, still have all my 1960's scrapbooks. I lived and breathed these young guys. I'm not afraid to dislike Yoko. I don't defend her. She was a brilliant strategist. Grand manipulator. She ruined generations of songs we never got to hear. 😊
@@MadsganUnfortunately, most great bands, have a Yoko show up, sooner or later.
'I haven't heard this' - how can you live in the western world and not have heard this?
This song always makes me tear up, because it's such a beautiful vision, and so utterly impossible because humans are what they are.
Yes.
Sadly…😢
Not impossible. Humans are more than they remember.
Amazing. When John Lennon was murdered this world lost a beautiful soul. RIParadise 💜
We just passed the 43rd anniversary of his murder. I can't believe how quickly that has gone by.
It still hurts terribly to this day.
There are videos on youtube of the late, great Howard Cosell announcing the shocking death of John Lennon during the Monday Night Football broadcast of a game between the Patriots and the Dolphins. If you've never seen that video, you should. It is very emotional and Howard Cosell handled the situation professionally and emotionally.

Beautiful description
Music still is the greatest communicator of peace, love and harmony. ❤✌
on the same album he wrote How Do You Sleep. What did that communicate? Hate, bitterness, envy.
Music and food, the two greatest human connectors.
So very true. Thanks.
Hm. Ever listened to death metal?
I can’t believe this is the first time you’ve heard this. John Lennon is one of the best song writers in history! The greatest Beatle as well! He was taken way to soon.
My sentiments exactly! ❤☮️
Went to NYC this summer. My 1st full day I went to the Dakota & Strawberry Fields across the street
I was thinking the same thing- it's so iconic!!
Where did he go?
I can easily believe he hadn't heard it. He's 40 years younger than Lennon and had a chaotic childhood in addition to coming from a different culture and as a young adult his interest in music was focused elsewhere. Way too many whitey boomers seem to assume that the last several decades were the same for everyone.

There wouldn’t be 99.9% of most artists we have today without the Beatles! They either started coz of them or sampled part of their music
This song was used at the end of the movie "The Killing Fields" ...was one of only 2 times I ever saw my Father cry openly

Lennon's "Working Class Hero" is a must.
The cover by Green day was very good.
beat me to it.

The modern Communist National Anthem.
It certainly is. It needs to be getting airplay on the radio again, to reach more people! Especially now.
@@DeborahHamilton-q1w I love this!
Exactly.
John’s voice will forever bring me to tears. ❤❤❤
My favorite Lennon track is Beautiful Boy. It reminds me of my eldest grandson. I used to sing this to him as a baby.
Yeah me too. I especially love that steel drum sound. He found peace. And then.....
Breaks my heart to listen to that one. Just sob every time.
I was at a Christmas service when this song was played.
I remember when John died. I was in a movie theater, watching a movie. They stopped the movie and came out to announce that he had been shot. People got up and left and started crying. We were all in shock.
Thanks for the reaction, Polo! I have a feelin' YOU are a DREAMER, TOO! ❤❤❤
You didn’t miss out on it. Old records never die. A great song is still great in any era. Greatness doesn’t go out of style. Keep up the good work.
So, so relevant today. John would be in tears .
One of the most beautiful & meaningful songs ever made! dbl ♥
This song completely changed the way I thought about everything. Truly changed my life. I'm 62 years old and am still trying to live my life by the simple tenants John sang about.
So you're a socialist? Blech!!!

This is one of the all time most famous peace song on earth!
This song has been an inspiration for my life from the first time I heard it a long time ago. Not only is it beautiful musically, the lyrics are truly inspirational.
I love the Beatles. John Lennon was such a a great talent. It still breaks my heart and brings me tears for losing him in such a horrific way. RIP ❤
Watching the wheels is one of my favorites. He was at such a beautiful place in life....
I still get chills when I hear this song! Great choice!
Musical Genius ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up with the Beatles.... Imagine was around my senior year of high school, so much going on, Viet Nam, etc. He was encouraging folks to see beyond......to imagine a better way of getting along.

The late John Winston Lennon . 9/10/40-8/12/80.
Founder of the greatest group in modern music, The Beatles. Enough said
I am 68 years old , this has always been my favorite song... he once was an original Beatle ... John Paul George Ringo.... love love love John ... he was murdered, young... gone but not forgotten
It's hard to believe that this song was released 53 years ago!! It is so current and still so meaningful!
It’s very very hard for someone to listen to something and have the same experience of people who lived the song. There are memories attached to some songs that pop up while listening to it. Some songs actually have the ability to take you back in time…, It’s magical …
you didn't live this, you were just alive when it came out
Well said. Music has the ability to transport you back in time. It can heal, uplift and give you so much joy.
I'm crying again. It's like he was killed yesterday. I'll never get over it. I cried for days when he was murdered. 😢 RIP JOHN🕊🙏✌🌻🌻
This icon has a huge collection to dive into. He was such a beautiful human being and peaceful man.
Peaceful LMAO....he was a commie socialist FFS ..ya we all now how awesome Chyna is and Venezuela...and the rest
For a person who has "lived in a musical cave" a) his life, (joke here) you are doing well to finally hear the Greatest Songs!
Keep it up Polo
I've heard this song thousands of times. It's played constantly all over the world. It's impossible not to have heard it.
THIS SONG IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS JOHN LENNONS SOUL
It's timeless.
I'm a dreamer, and i know i am not the only one !
This is as beautiful today as it was back then.
Unfortunately the message still hasn't been heeded .
Love to see you experience this for the first time , it's purely something else !
Peace n love from Australia 😎✌
This guy is…. A Legend

Universal if your a socialist lmao you will have nothing eat bugs and love it
Not a socialist, and that is funny as hell. Well struck:)@@seanhecht1840
This is 1 of my top 5 favorites of all time.💖💖💖
Ahhhhhh. John and the Beatles. Life made whole again.
Agreed one of the most beautiful songs ever written by the Amazing John Lennon RIP JOHN
Every person alive in 1980 knows exactly where they were when they heard Lennon was shot. The whole world grieved.
Yep. I was 8 months pregnant watching a football game. 😢
In this world at this time we need to play this song on a big speaker above the world and play this song
This is, without a doubt, the most iconic symbol of peace. His son finally performed it live after stating it would take the end of the world for him to do his father’s song. He cited the war in Ukraine as his reason to do the song. IMHO, his other Iconic song was Give Peace a Chance, done during a “bed in” during the Vietnam war. It was his idea of a sit in, but in a manner that allowed for an inclusive group of people to join him in his room. Thank you for this wonderful expression of your view on Imagine. It was very well said.
I lobe her letting th light in as he sings about unity in every human way possible as if maybe the song will let everyone see the light
Imagine someone walking up and looking at this person and taking his life😢
Watching the wheels go around is another must listen by John
Yes and mind games😊
This is from the Imagine album. Also, his last album Double Fantasy was released the month before he was murdered. Both albums have great songs on it. It is said that Double Fantasy is one of the most valuable albums out there. I treasure both albums. John wrote, produced and sang many songs about peace. You might want to also give a listen to Starting Over. Thanks for a great reaction. 👏👏💔
There was a postumous album, put together by Yoko, titled "Milk and Honey." The song "Grow Old With Me," a riff on Robert Browning, and a wish for his relationship with Yoko, was on that album.
The message is what makes this song impactful.
❤❤❤ my favorite from Lennon 😊 So This is Christmas is a beautiful song from him .
Nothing to kill or die for. Imagine that.
This is one of the Greatest Songs ever written...by ex Beatle John Lennon.. the others were written by either John Lennon and or Paul McCartney or George Harrison as members of The Beatles......the Greatest Rock Group in History
John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, and Elvis.
Priceless treasures all.🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Mind games is worth a listen.
Magic
'Mother' , 'God' and 'Working Class Hero' are my favourite songs from John Lennon
I also like Borrowed Time.
And Watching the Wheels, and Instant Karma!
As a colossal Beatles fan I have no idea why anyone would willingly listen to these John Lennon solo songs. They're absolutely miserable.
Merry x-mas byJohn Lennon
As soon as you're
born they make you feel small.
By giving you no time instead of it all.
Hi Mr. Polo, Mr. John is saying if there were no Countries and no Religion there would be no wars and

Revolution turned my world around.
John also wrote or cowrote many of the Beatles songs and sang lead on about half of them. He's more than a legend.
This is a song I want played at my funeral.
He was one of the Beatles, four of the most famous people of any time on this planet. And the greatest band of all time. They changed music, fashion and culture. Anything you check out from them is pretty awesome. My favorite solo Lennon track is #9 Dream. Hope you react to it some day.
Imagine all the people living life in peace…. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ that line.

One of my favourite and sad songs. It is the final song of the beautiful film "The Killing Fields" on Cambodia. You should watch it, based on a real story.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks Polo.
I was about 15. He was shot soon after, within a few years. He was a beatle, the main one. I missed the Beatles, but this was later work. Amazing,
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one" were words that gave me hope decades ago, and which I still trust today.
maybe it's just me but thinking back to the late 60's early 70's and the idealistic goals we though we could achieve and looking around today I see very little of that promise being realized. It just makes me sad that I couldn't leave this world a much better place than the one I grew up in. Seems like we're running in place sometimes.
Yes, we were idealists, picketing for peace and love. Flower children just wanting to imagine a safer, better world. You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one. ✌️
Shout out to the dreamers; the artists of and to the world.
Try Help sung by John Farnham an Australian but it is a Beatles song originally sung by John Lennon and Paul McCartney but John said the way John Farnham sang it was the best
Danced with my mother at my wedding to this. Her favorite song. And one of my favorites to play on the piano. There will however come a day where it will hurt too much to hear or play....but till then....I'm loving it!!
The words of this song are so powerful and have been relevant throughout time. The simplicity of the song is so completely profound in its accuracy of how completely simple it would be too late to rest the wars, The division, and overall noise that stops us from living harmoniously together. John, you had foresight and wisdom beyond your time. I hope I live to see your dream and mine come to fruition.
Check out Lennon's Happy Christmas (War is Over) 1971 video
From 1971 it pre-dates other videos and is entirely original. John is missed so much. 3!😀
I thought everyone knew this song. One of the biggest classics of all time
In the age of custom recommendations by each streaming platform, it's very easy for younger generations to never have heard of a thing.
I've been noticing that after miving to a different country I simply don't get nearly the same new content recommendation than my colleagues at work because even that is affected by stuff your friends send you =)
I think it’s very interesting watching you listen and learn about this beautiful old music
Beautiful reaction Polo ❤
He owned a farm about two hr. drive from where I live in upstate NY. That song became our national anthem back in the day. Happy Holidays.
Imagine is a world peace standard for decades. All Across the Universe is another gorgeous one by John. My favorite. ❤
Also- A Day in the Life- I think the Beatles’ greatest song. Mostly John- a little Paul in the middle. It’s mindblowing to this day.
