This man, he gave his life in support of PEACE. And he’s still loved today. Rest in peace John Lennon.❤

Yes, imagine a world where we all took care of one another, and simply loved each other. Imagination is real. ❤

I've always believed that THIS song, along with the song "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye, should be played for EVERY member of Congress and the Senate and EVERY world leader of EVERY country or group in the world and it should be continuously played until they comprehend and understand to LIVE by the lyrics of THOSE songs!!!! I believe that humanity has it within themselves to make John's dream come true!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

That was a message song. John Lennon was a unique individual when it came to his music especially after he left the Beatles.

One of the greatest music legends there ever was. We will always love you,John.

I'll never forget the morning when I was getting ready to go to school and my Mom told me John Lennon had been shot and killed during the night. I was just a kid, but it was a very dark day.

I had to pass right near The Dakota that Tuesday morning on the way to high school. A tragedy that I will never ever forget.

I've heard this song 3,000 times and it still moves me....and to think people during this time period just thought he was hippie freak...wonderful song for the ages...

Some people. Many of us knew he was gifted.

Beautiful song. Great lyrics. People get all bent out of shape over the "No Religion" line, but he's talking about all the religious strife in the world. RIP John

He was right. Religion is full of rules and regulations. The relationship we have with Jesus is what’s important.

You've got 'the message' John Lennon intended to spread, Ashley. Good for you!

This song always gives me comfort.✌️ Thanks.

Ashley is a beautiful person.

Still the greatest song ever written about achieving peace on Earth. A classic track that will never fade. Also, in a longer version of the video, he and the woman next to him at the piano (his wife) kiss at the very end.

I think she cut it off before they kissed, some reactors do.

John Lennon's "Imagine" was release when the Vietnam war was kind of winding down, but it was still almost 200,000 souls over there whit that said, here's three Beatles song you might like😁 "All You Need Is Love" (1967) and "The Long and Winding Road" (1971) "A Day in The Life" (1967)

The long and winding road is from 1970

You got to the heart of the song right away, Ashley. Those are enduring themes that will always hold a powerful allure for people. Now we've just got to get ourselves there. ❤

This song always gives me chills from head to toe 🥹

Maybe we could start with "nothing to kill or die for". Just a thought

get rid of fictitious RELIGION too. C

Also I think your audience is more fans of old school R&B. We love to see your "old soul" come out

This made me cry and gave goosebumbs

I like the fact that you're common cold and you don't keep stopping the video and you're very beautiful 💯❤️😉 you're blessed

Keep up the good work young lady. So glad that you are listening to the music I grew up with. I was born in 1965 and am compelled to offer you an other beautiful avenue to go down. The band is Yes. The song is, And You and I. Their music is complex and beautiful. Give a listen, know that you will very much enjoy. 😊

You missed the sweet kiss at the very end.

you are a smart girl who listen, best wishes from a Norwegian .......

Imagine there's no heaven... and then describes Heaven...

Will always be a beautiful song 💜

Oh you are so pretty too 😍

In the1980's I was working in schools and one day they played this throughout the United States across the country at the same time. Anyone could tune in and listen. I remember it playing throughout the school.

The sentiment of this song is powerful. There can never be unlimited freedom. While some people get their adrenaline rush from base jumping or racing cars, there are those who get their kicks from harming others, so we can't allow them the freedom to do what they want. Freedom is a concept that has to have limits. As we see on the streets around the world right now we have a religious group who want to annihilate an entire race and force their idiology upon the world. Religion has always been a major contributor of war and unrest throughout history and John is basically saying that we'd be better off without it. I have to agree with his philosophy. ✌️❤️🇬🇧

I remember the tears in my mother's eyes when I told her of the death of Mr. Lennon. Although she knew very little of him or the Beatles, she knew the importance of this great man.

John Lennon from the Beatles was a master writer of songs. Gone to soon. He was only 40 years old when he was gunned down. The world cried!

Forrest Gump gave John the inspiration to some of the lyrics during the interview. 😂😂😂 Great song

i really enjoyed your take on this.

Yeah a beautiful soul and then a jerk murders him! My favorite solo song of his is "Watching the Wheels". The Beatles! British invasion!

Always liked the message of the song. My favorite version to listen to, was done by Tracie Spencer.

He was always my favorite Beatle

I was in bed while my father was watching MNF. They announced it, and my mother was crying loudly. I was like John Lennon, who was he. Then, later, of course, I became a huge Beatle fan.

Love your reaction, listen to Queens one vision ! Ty

The World needs Peace.

The Scorpions song "Winds of Change" is from the late 80s and specifically addresses the end of the cold war. This was 1970 and embodied the values of the counterculture movement of the 60s and early 70s.

HAPPY ( the Theme song from LADY SINGS THE BLUES ) by Micheal Jackson from 1973 is a beautiful song to check out ❤️❤️❤️

Hello ashlley

If this spoke to you, listen now to the Pentatonix cover. They elevate it to a higher level.

Eterno Jhon Lenon um gênio da música morto por um fã maluco

theme ur talking about is the anti-war movement .. there was cold war... vietnam.. etc .. people stood up society was againsti it all :D.. its how woodstock was made ..

If you haven't heard it, you should listen to Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire.

You missed the kiss at the end. 💋 😊

Rock songs used to be short because the advertisers would not allow more than 3 minutes between commercials. Songs had to be short enough to fit into the radio stations format.

@mikefetterman6782

Ай бұрын

The Beatles stretched that by the end of the 60s into 6-8 minutes. In the 70s, whole albums would be played by certain stations with minimal commercials. In the 90s, radio stations nationwide were failing commercially with the advent of the internet.

🤝👍🙏👏👏👏

Now listen to Don't look back in anger by Oasis 😱🤯

Reaction please: war is over by John Lennon

Nice song, a classic. Now listen to Steely Dan's rebuttal to that song "Only a Fool Would Say That". I guess they didn't get along.

You missed John and Yoko's kiss at the end

That was YOKO ONO his wife

I like God (the song)

I remember when this first came out and how beautiful it seemed. Looking back however, I see it as just a dream, absolute fantasy. It's kind of like communism, beautiful dream but it denies reality. There unfortunately is evil in the world, and although it's not what we want, it is what we have. Imagine this, what if we lived like there was a heaven and there was a hell, and you couldn't just live hedonistically for today. But, what you did today mattered for eternity. How much more loving would the world be? How much more peace would we seek? That was always the trouble with John, I hope he at peace now.

You still haven’t reached the level he did. And no, I will not live “as if” there was a “heaven” or “hell”. That would be actual active delusion. I will live as what is actually is. That is not “hedonism”, that is the truth, as hard or damned near impossible as it may be to do. You may say that he’s a dreamer, but he’s not the only one.

Beautiful song. Reflects mans yearning for God's promised world wide kingdom that will rule over the whole earth. Daniel 2:44. Revelation 21:3-5.

Please react some George Michael

Does she know which band John Lennon was a member of?

I am sorry but I could not believe this could be a first time hearing, I guess than everybody knows this song

He’s more thinking about what causes conflict; nationality, religions, possessions. Get rid of those and there would be peace. Difficult to do though; being in a family, then a neighbourhood, town, country; it’s sort of who you are. The obvious one to go would be religions and gods. Such a problem in the world, it a thing babies don’t know of, all ‘taught’ by adults. If you could get a generation without religion; but then, religion is a power base, a way to manipulate, so someone will always create new ones

This is the song that got John killed

And no religion too...

Would you believe this is Trumps favorite song?

you should be my girlfriend.

. . . And then "they" killed him. . . . .

I hope to imagine a world where I never have to listen to this song again. Love Lennon but this song borders on just silly.
