the little head nod and smile to the drummer after the mini solo in the middle
umm wasn't it prerecorded?
yeah but the fill was mimed pretty spot on though
Yoko knitting is so punk rock
I'm 64 years old and crying to listen to this song AGAIN. I grew up listening to these GREAT people and they're just not made like this anymore. RIP John Lennon.

TANTAMOUNT : JOHN LENNONS GREATEST SONG 🎵 ♥️ 💯 ********** MARCH 1970
I was in marine Corp boot camp pen . And while.in formation. Drill instructor t9ld
You got that right sir😊
World is a poorer place without John Lennon.
well we all shine on
I'm still alive, you are still alive, maybe he died but not his music. The world isn't poorest is only waiting to an other john lennon born, who could be you or meself
Steven Carter yes sir , that’s true, but lucky for us it is a much better place because he was here even for a little bit.
When and then music dead...times Like theses
Steven Carter damn sure is
JOHN IS truely still SHINING ON! LOVE him forever
John Lennon died today December 8th 1980 today is December 8th 2022. It makes my stomach ache just thinking about it! You are so missed RIP John
🤔🙏💐❤️
❤❤❤❤ he will rise again soon. He will be back. He will shine on, and those who fkd him over.......karma ❤❤❤❤❤
I remember that Monday night very well...............SAD
So missed
@@giuseppe2237 wish he never met his killer mark david chapman
Mind boggling to think of all the great songs John would have created if he were still with us
Yes and the monster that took him is still alive. Lennon was talking
about a tour.Also a Beatles reunion possibly in the future. Miss him
every day.
WAP Remix - Cardi feat. John Lennon, city gurlz, machine gun Kelly, and t swizzle. This could’ve been a reality
....just imagine....❤
@@maxwellk10get ducked
@@IAn0nI omg my bad, I’m so sorry I forgot we need a harry styles feature what was I thinking. Maybe they can cover a true Lennon banger, “my mummys dead” perhaps? Lol
Sobering thought: John Lennon was on this earth for 40 years. This year will be 40 years that he has not.
4 is the number!
40+40 equals 80 (remove zero it's nothin') '8' the symbol of infinity! peace!
☮✝️💜
Imagine that...
So is this a math equation? 80. That was difficult...that was a sarcastic attempt at humour. I miss the man!
@@wizshared5870 Who says 8 is?
Crazy that he was still generating world changing music until the end.
I love how John sends the drummer a sign of approval with his eyes after the drummer nailed a complex part.
My favorite part!
The drummer does a great job
Indeed.
Alan White, of future Yes fame
It's all mimed for Top of the Pops
John's vocals in this song were incredible.
Drum beat is kool
Its also an effect he is using
Yes! His voice was more steely here than ever.
Yeeeep
Yesssssss! My favorite Lennon Song. Miss him
Drums can’t be beat
John said about this song, “I wrote it for breakfast, recorded it for lunch, and released it for dinner.” Genius such as this rarely happens so quickly. The world misses you dearly John Lennon. 🙏🏼😞
Now I'm hungry, thanks Chuckster
Instant Korma's gonna feed you...
It's what we'll all dine on...
Is that why he took only 10 seconds to arrange this phony-as-hell lip synching bullshit video?
@@chriswesterfield2042 I smell a Jealous Guy right here !
@@chriswesterfield2042 Blame the BBC for that - it was Top of the Pops, don't know who was presenting for that night.
John = the greatest musician
Paul= the greatest Beatle.
1970
A great musician.but certainly not the best.
@@DaveJones-g4o which is for you ?
There is no one quite like John Lennon - he should have been 80, and we would have needed his voice today, more than ever. Peace!
AMEN a 1000 times over!!!
Indeed
Yeah - nah. Great musician, one of the greatest. But we already have plenty of celebrities with self inflated egos to tell us what we should do while they do whatever they like.
The world needs him now more than ever, by that I mean his mind and thoughts.. No to be mistaken by the likes of Bob geldof of Bono. John Lennon is in a different league mentally his Intelligence and experience. I could go on and on with different aspects in which he could of made a big difference in the world for the better
We have his voice in his songs. No on like him.
Forever missed, eternally loved.
40 years later still shining on. Like the moon and the stars and the sun ❤️
Is 50 years!
@@matzevalentin 40 years since he was shot
moi de même j'adore et je l'écoute depuis toujours lorsque j'ai un coup de blouse bisous
cos we all shine on, .. and on.. and on... .
Nothing ever commited for not to be beloved, into it own turning edge of cause... Still today's! Love always...!!!
"Life is very short, and there's no time
for fussing and fighting, my friends."
--John Lennon
Very true. Peace and love my friend.
@@matthewblodgett1789 🙌 sending good vibes
Yea but they always make time for fights and wars thats why it never ends
Can't buy me love.
I believe Paul wrote that
This song was a masterpiece,from John.Pure Gold Classic.
“Why in the world are we here? Surely not to live in pain and fear.” And the rest of the lyrics. Amazing.
@ walkhard walkhard “The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.” -----Richard Dawkins
Yeah we don't Shine On" , but that doesn't mean i don't appreciate the genius of artists like Lennon.
My all time favourite Beatle his lyrics are amazing he was not a god just an ordinary man with flaws like the rest of us.
"Better recognize your brothers, everyone you meet." Amazing.
@@elliegonzales8212 Yes, all that is true, but "We all shine on" when we try to make the world a better place.
I would say this is why were here,if you want a "good" reason.......thevenusproject.com
I was obsessed with The Beatles when I first became a fan when I was 12. They helped me through the absolute roughest years of my life. Bullying, no friends, awkward kid who thought they had no one in the world. But The Beatles were my love and brought me so much joy. John was my favourite and I always think about that time in my life. They were such a light to me. I'm a lot older now and much, much happier. I think about them all of the time like old friends. I miss you John and George. John, you should have been able to live and enjoy life with your family and be a very old man. I'll never not be upset about the way you died. Thanks for the music and being there for me when I had no one. I'll always love every member of The Beatles.
drhag awwww sad
drhag how old are you
drhag that's my story too if you weren't alive then you'll never comprehend the im packed these guys had on me and our culture in general. to me Dec 1980 was the worst time of my life
John Barb she's in her sixties Like me .were still rockin. you should be so lucky .
XD I've since I was like 2!
Best Yoko Ono Performance i´ve ever seen.
lol
Certainly her best vocal work.
Is she knitting????? Lol
Maybe she was a sort of "muse" to him and he loved her in his way. So lets people, lets quit on these negative remarks on this subject. John would be sad. He deserves to R.I.P.
Besides girls, aren't we just a bit jealous because we wish we were her? Cause even now when i watch his videos, this 63 yr old woman here just keeps falling in lu u ve.😍
THEJ0KER0815
Would be even better if she was in the next room. Talentless twat.
@@dondraphillips6452 She really was a comedian at heart. I still find myself watching Lennon and Ono videos and giggling at the strange things she did. Those two were quite a funny pair.
I met John lennon when I was 8 years old in nyc....he was living on bank street in the village at the time..he shook my hand and was very gracious...This song should be humanity's anthem, times are darker now but I think there are still millions of other dreamers out there...I know I'm not the only one.
It's emotionally exhausting listening to this. Lennon shreds his vocal chords with such passion when he sings.
Yes, I felt the same way. I like how his voice (and the song) fades to a faint echo ... like we are fighting until the end for our voices and beliefs to be heard ... If you're passionate about a Life that slow fade is kind of how it is. Great Song!
@@dougmedina3635 your words are my words too. Where you're living? I'm in the Carib, but i'm from Europa...
Every Gallagher song sounds the same!………what an insult to Lennon.
If you feel that way about this song, you won’t dare listen to “Well well well” LOL. That one leaves me feeling wrung out like a dishrag, personally. Love the song, but man it kills me...
Knitting John's bed socks. 😁
The drum break mid way through is one of the absolute best in Rock history!!
Sadly Alan passed this morning
JL agreed, with raised eyebrows and a smile after
Alan and Gigi were friends of the local music community here in the Seattle area. He was one of a kind. We miss him dearly.
i find it very ugly. anyyway, cool for you if you like it
@@jean-robinmerlin1694 Do you mean the drum break that you find ugly? What is it about it that you don't like? If you look at Lennon's face after it is done, he smiles very approvingly...
By far the best Lennon song after the Beatles in my humble opinion. Great lyrics, passionate music and voice!
Imagine, woman, Jealous Guy, Power to the people, Give peace a chance are close enough
Watching the wheels
Watching the wheels and no body told me
Better than Imagine.
absolutely!@@YorickWell
One word, "Genius!"
Rest in peace, Alan White. You were the heart pumping the musical blood in Yes and in this and many great songs.
He wasn't a Christian
May Alan White,RIP💐
@Viking Adventurer who gives a fuck, weirdo
Months before he passed a thief broke into his storage.
They stole lots of his gear including this kit. I hate a thief!
@@matimus100 I'm confused.
Is the phrase, rest in peace only applicable to or for Christians?
Not picking a fight, just curious.
Instant Karma one of the best songs ever RIP John your music is your legacy
Two legends who are no longer on this Earth at the very top of their games: John Lennon and Alan White. They are both sorely missed.
Alan was great Lennon loved his drumming.I just read that someone broke
into his home and storage just months before his passing.They stole his kit
that he used in these sessions! Alan was in poor health I hate thief's!!!!!
John.. with Alan on drums, Klaus on bass, Mal Evans on tambourine... and ono on blindfold knitting. From the sublime to the ridiculous.
So watt you .say about this jam
@@stevemlymek6179 WRITING'S NOT THAT EASY BUT GRAMMARLY CAN HELP
@@stevemlymek6179 It is mimed Lennon is singing over a recorded track.
I'm listening carefully to John Lennon's shouts.I want to live a straight and righteous life and not go down the wrong path.
"Why on earth do you think we're here? Surely not to live in pain and fear." This is a great lyric. I listen to "Revolution," then this. Then I write. Thank you, John. You make every day a little better.
@John lennon ✔ Tnx Sir lenni(messanger of god) for visiting our Planet.
@John lennon ✔ btw now at the point we have no one like you. 🙁🙁🙁
We have some messanger of devil like Cardi B and lil punk .
a LOT better
Such a simple line, but so true. Bob Marley sang the line 'a hungry man is an angry man', so simple, but so true and both Bob and John died within months of each other. Hope both of them are having a great time up in rock and roll heaven.
Ad belieber what’s a cardi b
Liam sounds and looks great in this video
Xd
Who's that?
We will always miss you John every single day but especially today as you would have been 81. Shine on, John.

Exactly. 🎸😢
Shame he was such a terrible father.
He is simply "The rockstar"
JL Still shining on 2009. th-cam.com/video/zaKjDSj5exo/w-d-xo.html
Johns performance there was on a level that most musicians can only dream about. Just amazing
Astonishing raw vocal performance
Hate to break it to you but he is lip syncing
@@Well_This_Guy_Says What do you mean man ??? Of course he is for the video !
But remember there was no autotune back then !!!!!!
@@LivFC Steve Innes called it a performance, and I had to point out the fact that he is lip syncing, so it's not a true performance... Today's generation will never understand what it's like to actually have to sing without a crutch...autotune is for the posers
@@Well_This_Guy_Says He's talking about the performance on the recording.
John was well beyond his time.
Rock on John...gone but never forgotten.
John Lennon still shines on to this day ........
at least there's good music in the afterlife now
we all shine on
The passion in his voice. :)
@@livr8487 he didn't believe in an afterlife, I don't, and you shouldn't.
I So Agree!!!! Still makes me want to dance!
He gave us his best, May he always shine on ❤
Lennon was deep. Love the mind. Love his expression and his thoughts. Just pure thought put to music. The beauty of John Lennon. Rip my brother
Well said
Everything we see is the music. The unseen is the musician.
This is perhaps my favorite song of John Lennon's and it is so expensive and powerful and beautiful I just get chills when I hear it
Yeah raw unfiltered.
ALSO GEORGE HARRISON
Johns voice is still unmatched
I AGREE
Of course, He has his place in the non replicated voice. Even in Forrest Gump the movie they couldn't match it, but we all shine on!
ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!!!!
Absolutely
I was lucky enough to see Julian Lennon before I went into the military
You know, I genuinely miss this man. The world was a more interesting place with him in it. We all lost something when he was taken from us.
But he shines on.....
That is why every American must support and demand the enforcement of the death penalty. Otherwise, his life and anybody else's in the street, an unarmed man with his wife, is worthless. The walking evil POS laugh at you. Weak New Yorkers allowed this to happen. When you are weak, you just get more evil, more of the same.
he'd be a Trump supporter - no question.
Staff he was a communist
Kevin Kush , Staff, both of y’all are way off lol
David B John Lennon would have never wanted that. U know nothing about him or his music
This song is uncoverable. He owns it. Incredible.
1:42 Imagine getting John's stamp of approval on your drum fill.
Didn't really pay attention to it till now.
That's what I thought too!! I figured it was a little weird of a fill, but Lennon must have said, "No, it's cool, do it." Hehe
@@nexususer4343 you mean he went from swing to straight.... it’s not called 3 time or 4 time 🤦🏻♂️
@@nexususer4343 its not even a drummers thing, its a music on general thing...
@@coolkg12345 Ok, I've removed the errant comments
Because my teen daughter likes the Beatles I have started listening to them every day. They were all fantastic.

Don't be so rude
@@keepcool319 I'm being realistic and sincere.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212
No, you're being ignorant and irrelevant.
Now stfu twerp
Lennon completed the writing of "Instant Karma!" in an hour. Eager to record the song immediately, he then telephoned his Beatles bandmate George Harrison and American producer Phil Spector. According to Lennon's recollection, he told Spector: "Come over to Apple quick, I've just written a monster."
#HappyBirthdayJohnLennon #johnonolennon
He performed it sober, and live as well. And he was just recovering from Heroin addiction. Awesome passion
@@MARSBELLA1 sober, yeah, okay. I don't know what he took or didn't take. John was very straight forward though, then murdered.
john telephoned george? tell me about it pls
John wrote it to make fun of Harrison's Hare Krishna's beliefs. Your story is bullshit.
@@Gumshrud1assassinated. The enemies of peace meet in boardrooms. The enemies of love claim to be religious.
Even in 2023 we still hear johns music it still captures my imagination of what could have been.😢 john might have died that horrible day but one things for certain his music will last forever. Rest easy lad we got it from here.❤🎶
JL? 2009. Still shining on….th-cam.com/video/zaKjDSj5exo/w-d-xo.html
He puts so much into this song, as it seems he does with all his songs. He seems to be literally pouring his heart out to us. A true artist.
Dude he's coked up guys.
He was a phoney
He is taking to the 1% that always place fiat money first insiramce,bankers, etc
This song represent all he was. a repressed n say what he had to say to the whole world . What a guy !!!!!!!!
Two basses ?
Written, recorded, and released in less than 2 weeks.
Legend.
so they say
Lel K, Amen!😎🎶🎸. God Bless. ☮
Same day even, written in the morning and recorded in the evening.
@@samvs1259 What Genius!😎 God Bless. ☮
Astonishing to say the least.
It’s stunning to think that this performance and song is 50 years old. It’s timeless brilliance is a reminder that there has been nothing as stunning, iconic or just bloody brilliant as this. We all shine on and John Lennon wanted your to know that through his “God given talent”. There’s no one out there that writes anthems of this power and Lord knows we need it now more than ever. Long may you shine on Johnny Boy!!🙏♥️🎼.x
The message remains firm and clear- classic!
What you say is brilliant and complete
@@colinwinterman Superb song from Lennon - why not use the original live audio?
May GOD and many realistic people, who still awakefully gratifull on their lifes, may listen to it...!
I'm just glad that I lived during a time where I shared the world with him.
Lennon's vocals on the chorus are stellar..the combination of raspiness and desperation encompass everything a rock vocal at it's peak should be
It sounds fresh after 50 years. The unique grit and growl voice of John Lennon is present.
Fun fact: This was written, recorded, mixed and released in just 10 days.
Trying doing that today....Beatles recorded 4 songs a day in the early days
John had the habit of recording very fast, he was very impatient in the studio. In fact, Spector told him not to drop the song so fast but John did it anyway.
George plays guitar as well, shame he wasn't there for this...
John lennon was classic A.D.D before they knew about it .....Probably helped him be a genius.....slept alot unfocused anxious a bit lazy. Outburst of temper.. self critical ...All added up to genius
We all shine on like the moon and the stars and the sun.
"We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, where violence is practiced in broad daylight" -John Lennon
Soooo soooo true!
1970
I'm 70 yr. young, John has been my fave since I was 8, Neil became my hero in 1969, I finally got to see Neil at outdoor concert in Dallas a few years back... It was a rock musical, I think it was called greendale rock opera, excellent ❤
2019 and were still rockin out to u brother may ur voice live forever
JT 1200 Same here. I agree 100%
Indeed..a beautiful enlightened soul he was..one of my favorite people.

Was this released? If so, in what album?
@Shawn McCall well, John once said that the Beatles were going to be bigger than Jesus... here's what the Bible says:
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. (Gal 6,7)
"Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true."
- "Jesus" (John 4:37)
"Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear"
Surely.
T. Lammer he ment more popular. And they still are. In this godless country
I love how John smiles, nods his head and acknowledges the drummer's drum fill at 1:46
1970
First song I recognized as a favorite. During a Nike ad; of all things. I was a kid and that was 1991. Im 43 now and Beatles rank #1 in my book. Use to think it said Mrs Karma. I was 11 and didn’t know how she’s was!!
John never fails to deliver a masterpiece for all of us. In my opinion, he is the most imaginative, experimental, lyrical, souful, rockish and very jazzy in his musicality with very deep personal messages that invoke deep feelings in all of us.
You are so right...
Pity his talent career and dick seemed more important than his eldest son. He wasn't perfect folks. Love you Julian who was raised by a great mother Cynthia just a reality check folks
Likewise for George Harrison
No never
Unless you include just about everything on the 'Some Time in New York' album, often referred to as the Stinky Stinker.
One of my all-time favorite John Lennon songs.
Happy 77th birthday John Lennon. You will always live on through all the great music you left us with.
This song has probably the same Melody as all you need is love
KirbyBulborb I agree even today
KirbyBulborb 🌎🌎
This song never gets old
No it doesn't.
AMEN.
I love song, from to Belgium 🇧🇪
Light never dies 🌈🌈🌈💚💚💚💫🙏💫
Es verdad, se van a escuchar dentro de 3000 años si no se extingue la humanidad, esperemos que eso no suceda. Jhon Lennon por siempre.
John Lennon will always shine ✨ on Rest In Peace 🪦
Today, December 8, 2019 I still have sadness and still remember hearing on the news John's death in 1980.
same here
@@mikebowden5465 In the words of the deceased John Lennon "Keep on Keepin on".
Remember it well, seams like yesterday, PEACE.
@@stormytempest3907 PEACE to you my friend
I wasn't old enough remember him dying but it still bothers me...
Such a loss..... He was in NY where he had big numbers behind him then he gets killed.....
He was getting to powerful for some people liking....
The music this guy made is otherworldly.
John is considered one of the greatest songwriters in the world.
Yeah but only because it's true.
QuasarDiamond He is not!
shadrach Yea, he is. Maybe because you don’t like his personality (i read the other comments you left) doesn’t deny that his records have sold millions and that proves he’s one of the better songwriters to ever live the planet. Just stop sharing your useless opinion and go on with your day
Great song! World miss you John!🙏❤️
The thing that always gets me about this video is that nod of appreciation to the drummer with that basic drum kit and the tinny sound which John obviously wanted. The drummer would treasure that forever.
Alan white went on to play on Imagine and then with Yes for decades
Nobody lives forever, but we all shine on! Thanks, JohnLennon!
HOPE
Yep
There goes the greatest musical genius of the 20th century. Ask me again in 100 years if you doubt this...
Stevie Wonder > Lennon. Prince > Lennon. But you're white, so I'd expect you to put one of your own above them.
Patricia Baldwin really pathetic, trying to make it about race, those two weren't in the same league
That voice... instantly recognizable.
Even after 47 years., when he says "why in the world are we here"?? I get chills!!!!
Surely not to live in pain and fear...
Where are you Tessa??
Mitch Harrelson there's probably no reason
it is art, so it is up to anyone who listens to the song to project themselfs and give it meaning. having said that, I think that since the song is about karma and given that John had instruction from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the answer to the question may be "to liberate and burn karma". what do you think?
He’s saying god would not want this for us. John and yoko are Christian’s. Not me saying that yoko said that. God is all about peace and happiness. The beautiful energy that is the god love. Not the vengeful god
I, like millions of others, miss John Lennon. I can only imagine what creativity he would have tapped into from his being, had he had the continued chance. Yeah, we all shine on, John... But, still, I wish you were here.
wish youu were here, shii- wrong song
One thing Yoko said about him is that he’d be totally into the internet and would love the idea of being able to talk to anyone in the world at any time. He certainly would’ve teamed up with Bill Gates and/or Steve Jobs
John looks so happy and fulfilled in this video, you can tell he truly believes in what he is singing.
everyone lies to hate yoko but really they got themselves together after a while they really were much happier, I'm sad this side of John couldn't last long
And what he is feeling
44 years ago today,this was the other day the music died. Legends never die if we remember them forever.
😔quelle perte énorme.
Sounds as crisp as the day he laid it down with the help of Phil Spector. A classic that never ages and sounds as good as the first spin...everytime. Shine on.
John always had a great vocal delivery in his songs, but his vocal performance on this song is off the charts, incredible! On and on, and on and on.....
Jim Coleman Right you are. 😊
What a voice
I think John Lennon is one of the best rock singers until now.
Yes and apparently he didn't like the sound of his voice. Having a distinctive voice is certainly a blessing and makes you stand out. Immediately, you know Lennon and Elvis, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, Paul, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison etc. Most guys even if they have a good powerful voice no matter how well you belt it out-sincerity and all. You still sound like a thousand plus other guys.
Yeah yeah
John Lennon the greatest of all time
My Hero
Nah.was good.and I'm a scouser.
Can you imagine what a 12 year old (me) thought of music of this high mark in early 1970 ? They were like gods to me and my friends: we couldn't figure out how this incredible music was created ! 👍
I WAS 12 TOO , IT WAS A MAJESTIC DREAM☆☆☆☆☆
It's not easy to write something wise about such an intelligent artist and his great songs, just John was the brightest star of the Beatles times!40 years from his death are approaching!
John never died, he teached immortality and yea we have a John and we are Mankind: it's nice ^_^
I Love You and miss YOU John Lennon....
I could NEVER
Imagine
Life
Without
Your
Voice
💕💕
What is amazing about this song, is that John Lennon walked into the studio with nothing but what was in his head. He wrote it, recorded it and it was produced and ready to release in one day all in the studio.
Thank you for setting the record straight
He started off messing around with the melody to Three Blind Mice IIRC
@Johnny Rockett Lennon is the real King of R+R. But this is all mimed.
Great track for sure, but let's be honest, not much to it musically. It's all in the performance.
@@sekos99 You don't think the chords sequence is interesting? I do...
Jotn Lennon is a songwriting genius 🎉🎉. His music 🎶 🎵 is genuine 🎉🎉. He is unapologetically real to his craft and his friends and family 🎉🎉. This song ❤️ 🎵 is a Lennon Masterpiece 🎉🎉
😂
He achieved so much in 40 short years, a bright light gone forever but he left behind words and music that will forever endure
And he Shines on like the moon the stars and the Sun
The drumming on this Lennon classic is what makes it so unique. It's simultaneously offbeat and perfectly synced. Keith Moon'ish'.
Alan White (later Yes)
They drumming was epic! The drummer was?🤔🤔🥁🥁
@@tomscerbo1588 Great question. Who is the drummer?
It's very T rex-ish
Young Alan White is amazing on this track. Bassist Klaus Voormann credits the great drum sound to Phil Spector who "produced" this record. If you look hard enough, you will find interviews with Voormann and his recollections of the recording sessions for this song.
This song makes life worth living.
What a beautiful thought, Andrew! I agree...
“Why in the world are we here…surely not to live in pain and fear. Why are you there, when you’re everywhere?”
This song touches me deeply. RIP John Lennon.
we love you,John ....we're still here sending out your message of peace and love.
Ask me how I know
This great song will still be shining on in a 1,000 years
This will be Played untill the end of time.
I truly hope so
This song is magical as Hell!!👍👍
Ya it is great but it's all mimed.
Amen brother
Genius. Genius. Genius - nothing held back ALL SOUL ...ALL OUT!
This takes me way back!!!!!! Awesome Era!!! Great Music 🎵🎶!!!! The Amazing J L RIP , I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!!
John was super talented. He had one of the best rock voices ever. The beginning of "Mr. Moonlight" is classic. And, if you just wrote down the lines of "Nowhere Man" ,or "Imagine" ,it is poetry
Yes! Some of the best rock singers have been poets first, of course there's Jim Morrison, Patti Smith, Lana Del Rey. What's amazing is when the music is like another lyric element they are working. Have you read Alan Pollack's Beatles analyses? They are brilliant!
Of all the examples you could give, you choose Mr. Moonlight? Maybe the worst Beatles track of all.
Great, now I gotta go listen to it.
Rip John Lennon! One of the greatests. We miss you so much! Your music is forever in peoples hearts. Shine on forever!
One of the greatest spot on.thank you.
This song is a prime example of the ear splitting timing genius of John Lennon.
one of Johns best songs..beautiful raw
2:27 God, I love the knitting on this song so much! Gives me chills every time I listen to it! I've got goosebumps right now!
Lennon knew this song needed a knitting solo...
@@delilasloan8914 Such an integral part of the song. I honestly couldn't "imagine" this song without it! 😂
Though, I suppose it's easy if I try.
She's crocheting, not knitting.
Delila Sloan that was funny
@@borntogazeintonightskies imagine there's no knitting.
Sad to think how many more masterpieces of music John Lennon could have produced.
Thanks for the ones he left behind.
Nov 2024 who’s here with me
Almost 2025 and still loving it
Me ! I Love the times they never come back...
I'm from the future . We time travel now. We forgot what year it is.
December 2024❤
All the way to the dirt nap. Peace 🙏 on earth ❤❤❤❤
John 37 years without you the whole World misses you RIP legend forever love
Bless his soul
John gives that "Good job boi" look to his drummer.
1:43-1:48
Isn't that Alan White of Yes?
@@Armakk Yes lol
i love that bpart its truly spontaneous
And has the drummer up front with the guitars back, opposite from where the drummer usually is.
The GOAT drum break moment,
1:42 John grovin hard to the drum fill . then gives him a nod. AWESOME : )
purified_futurewater Love it!
purified_futurewater
Great!
purified_futurewater well I guess so, but they’re just miming the song I’m pretty sure. Great song nonetheless.
Great song, but lip-synced.
Just heard this for the first time on Stricktly come dancing, an emotional dance by Chris Mccausland from Liverpool, who is blind and his partner Dianne Buswell. Fabulous combination. John, you were gifted.
We all shine on…. Like the moon 🌙 and the stars 🌟 and the sun ☀️
I was going to say who’s here after watching Strictly!
Absolutely wonderful song!! 🎼🎶🎤🎸🥰
Listen to those lyrics … ❤️
Loved John’s talented lyric writing & songs generally ..A genius. taken far too soon …🎼🎶🎤🥰❤️💖💕
