Yes!

One reason John Lennon is so missed is that there is no voice today that is saying quite these same things. "Love is the answer," "faith in the future," "raising the spirit of peace and love" - where is that kind of hope and leadership in pop culture today? Whether from a musician, movie star, TV personality, or internet influencer, you just don't hear these sentiments anymore.

Lennon and Gary Glitter fans are very similar. thank goodness instant karma put down that cowardly dog in the street .lol

It’s time for more people to hear No. 9 Dream - an under appreciated gem from John Lennon.

Mother, is a song that you can fill his pain of growing up without parents. I think he wrote it for closure. Must listen.

The Beatles were the most influential artists of all time. The fact that their message was LOVE is phenomenal. They could have told the young people of the world that anything ..standing on your head... was the answer. But John Lennon chose to say LOVE is all you need. They didn't waste their time and their fame on trivial things. They didn't sell seats on BOAC airlines. They didn't sell Coka-Cola or Ford Mustangs like Namcy Sinatra. They stayed positive and sold PEACE in a time of WAR. As the song fades, John sings "I want you to make love, not war. I know you've heard it before." Throughout the song he keep reminding us that we already know this stuff and it's not hard, in fact it's surrender "You gotta let it go"

Lennon was such a unique talent. The prototypical pop song structure is verse, chorus, verse, chorus, (maybe bridge), chorus. This song has none of that. Pure genius.

John Lennon at 8 or 9 was asked by his teacher -------what do you want to be when you are older? The teacher brought in his mom and said he completely did not understand the question. His mom asked how he answered. His answer..... HAPPY.

Amber not just an empath, a time traveler, but a thoughtful one. She gets things that happened way before her time, of which music seems to be the ultimate conduit.

"Shaping the future out of the now." What an insightful lyric! This is true for everyone.

The shot of the ladder in the video represents the first time John met Yoko. It was at the Indica gallery, where she was having an art exhibition. At the top of the ladder there was tiny writing on the ceiling that you needed the hanging magnifying glass to read. It said one word, Yes. John saw this, was intrigued, sought out the artist, Yoko, and the rest is history…☮️❤️

And as I recall, he said if it said “no” he might not have been interested in her, or at least her art. There was a lot of pessimism in the creative world as we steamed toward the ‘70s. I’m glad someone else recalled that story and that exhibit.

Yes! I know everyone goes crazy for Imagine but I love this one so much. This, Number 9 Dream and Instant Karma. I heard a really great quote from John years ago that I don’t have the context for now but here is what I found: The complete quote from John Lennon is: "I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you." It's a powerful message about self-awareness and personal responsibility.

Another beautiful song from Lennon. 😊 playin’ those mind games…

Being almost 70 (June) and growing up with the Beatles and loving their solo careers too, I have to say John Lennon's songs are the ones that really tear at my heart. No 9 Dreams, Working Class Hero, Stand By Me, Jealous Guy, MInd Games etc. Maybe because the Beatles songs where he was lead singer also left such a mark...Norwegian Wood It's Only Love, You;ve Got to Hide Your Love Away. His voice is part of the soundtrack of my entire life.

I love John forever! 1.He said he was born to be a New Yorker. 2.A teacher gave him an assignment as a young boy. She said to write what you what to be when you grow up. John Lennon wrote Happy. She told him he didn't understand the assignment. ( I think he did!) He always wanted Peace and Happiness.3. Check out his son Sean Lennon doing his Dad's song Isolation on you tube,I love it, John would be proud of his Beautiful Boy!!!❤

Walls and Bridges a great album with John's art on cover done when he was eleven 🌈

John Lennon : a true apostle for peace. RIP your message lives on.

John was by far the greatest and most talented Beatle. He stood for more than just his music❤

John Lennon has some great insightful songs . George Harrison as well had some great solo songs.

Mind Games is a timeless song, like many of John's sublime works. Imagine maybe it's the top of the mountain and represents all generations of fans not only of him, but of the Beatles as well. I love Mind Games. It really seems like a mantra coming from another magical Galaxy. Great and special John Lennon. A genius who only preached Peace 🕊️ 🌹✨🌟

John was invited to an art showing so he decided to have a look. When he got there all he saw in the art pieces was negativity. He was on his way out when he saw a step ladder. At the top of the ladder was a magnifying glass and a tiny word written on the ceiling. He climbed and looked at the word and it simply said "Yes". He said that was the only positive statement he had seen there. It was Yoko's art piece and that is how they met. Yes is the answer, and you know that for sure.

Listen to Watching The Wheels. Written just before he passes. Tugs at my heart. He was in such a peaceful place in life when he was taken from us 😢

Lennon was a very special person, not only because he obviously had huge success with The Beatles and wrote some great songs. But he was uniquely intelligent, honest and brave. Watch interviews with him, you´ll see he´s very sharp and very raw. He had alot of darkness in him from his upbringing, but he tried to make it into beautiful art, he tried to use it to change himself and the world for the better. If you look at what he proposed all those years ago, that he got SO MUCH hate for, most of it is normal today. He was ahead of his time, which of course is very dangerous.

Nice reaction to one of the greatest Lennon songs.

He was a deeply complicated human being. And just brilliant. We still miss you John. Your music is just as meaningful today as it was when you released that song. Thanks Guys! ❤

The major theme running through John and the Beatles is Love… and that is part of why they resonate with so many

this one usually brings me to tears, miss john

One of his best for sure. Give Oh My Love a listen. So beautiful.

John Lennon, “I’m Losing You” - the version with Cheap Trick, not the album version. You won’t regret it. ✌️

R.I.P To A Great Singer Songwriter John Lennon, Still Miss You Always 😢

"We're playing those mind games forever" The mind games being life. Everything is mind.

"Mother" is a disturbing but important part of his catalog. His voice haunts me. I can't forget hearing of his assassination I lived on the UWS, In the City he adopted and loved so much.

Chilling to hear John's wonderful voice.... lump in throat

When he was singing about the word and positive power of “Yes,” if you notice, you see the top of a fold out ladder near a ceiling, and on the ceiling you see a piece of paper with the word “Yes” on it. That was in reference to the day he met Yoko at her art showing at a gallery. The ladder and note was one of her installations. John climbed the ladder and saw the word “Yes” written on it and it changed his life. A few minutes after that he met Yoko in the gallery and was so taken by her. The rest is match made in heaven history.

John had the best voice.

And that is what music is about. I never understood people who restrict themselves to ine genre of music. There is a mood of songs for me every day whether it be Jazz, Reggae, old skool house or a classic Music is for dancing to somedays and somedays reflecting with. Lennon does have a magical mystifying look at life which mesmerises

Give these Lennon classics a spin: Whatever Gets You Through the Night; Jealous Guy; Steel and Glass; You Are Here; Watchin' the Wheels; Starting Over; Woman; Beautiful Boy.

That slide guitar in the intro still gives me goosebumps and nostalgia. So beautiful how Amber immersed herself into the lyrics.

My favorite Beatle and all time favorite artist ❤

YES ! Whole album great!

"Mind Games" and "Instant Karma" are my favorite John Lennon songs. Both songs are intense, powerful, touch on contemporary issues, yet remain very positive. And as Amber noted, full of hope. If you really listen, these songs are meant to inspire people. They still inspire me. Peace! 🕊

A phenominal talent who wrote some of the most iconic Beatles songs. "Imagine" if the Beatles had stayed together. I believe "Mind Games" was the title track of his second solo album after the Beatles.

Just gotta love this anthem from John Lennon. "Love IS the answer" You got it Amber.

This song always brings me to tears, as it's the first song I heard played on the radio after they announced John Lennon's death. It was the morning of the 9th December 1980 in London, a few hours ahead of New York time.

Please react to the official video of "Mother" by John Lennon with the Plastic Ono Band. It's soo emotional and gives you an insight into John's childhood, it's heartbreaking. He was taken from us way too soon but it's comforting that we'll have his music, art and his words forever.

Next John Lennon song, Mother. There's a lot to discuss within that song!

Such a a simple profound song- pure genius.

I've been saying it since I first became a Beatles fan, they're all great songwriters, but John Lennon's music is so personal that it makes you feel like this song is about my life and that's why his music stands out more.

Haven't heard this in like forever! Lol! Great song.

John was an avid reader, he wrote this after reading the book "Mind Games: The Guide to Inner Peace." Another great track from this album is "Aisumasen" and another is "Old Dirt Road" from the "Walls and Bridges" LP will also make you feel what he's feeling.

I had forgotten about this beautiful song. Thank you. Your reactions to songs often give me a bee perspective and appreciation for many songs.

I see you guys are yet to do "Let it be" by the Beatles - it is a must! Their best song ever imo.

As a lifelong Lennon fan who had every record he ever recorded and this is one of my maybe 10 favourite tracks.

I know Amber loves John Lennon's voice so I was excited to watch her reaction(and her beautiful face during it)😊

Oh my! I haven't heard this song in such a LONG time. It's such a great song. John is my favorite Beatle. He was just so cool and peaceful. He is missed by so many fans.

“Mind Games” is way up on my list of all-time treasures. My brother had the 45, and it became mine after the first spin. “#9 Dream” is equally splendid.

This just took me back to my junior high school days. Music was everywhere. We even had radios on the school buses that played hits on local radio stations. I was listening to songs like this to and from school every trip. What a time to grow up. It helped shape me into what I am today.

What a wonderful song and conceptual idea. Peace is something that seems to consistently elude us.

Boy it touched my soul when Amber touched her heart. That is how I feel every time I hear it, and I believe Love is the Answer! One of my favorites by John. A couple more for you include his duet with Elton John, Whatever Gets You Through the Night and Give Peace a Chance. Also check out his son Julian’s song Valotte. It is beautiful and he is the spitting image of his dad.

One of my favorite Lennon songs is Working Class Hero. Definitely worth a listen.

I had the album Mind Games and played it to death! Thanks so much for the memories!

Great song, underrated album. 😀

Mind Games started in 1969 as Make Love Not War but by 1973 that was according to Lennon such a cliche he rewrote the lyrics but did leave make love not war at the end of the song

Being a child of the 60s, the beatles were everything. Each a genius in their own way.

BTW, the bass player here too, was a fellow countryman of me, German, name was Klaus Vormann, see Imagine, much more of John, also My sweet lord of George or You're so vain by Carly Simon, he was a close friend of The Beatles too and this song mind games of John Lennin was a favorite to me.

John Lennon's "Power To The People"

I think John was a very unique individual in many ways, but he had an ability to put forth his message, regardless of any controversy, and still not alienate fans. He was like a worldly pundit who just happened to play guitar. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

Yes! John is my fav singer/songwriting of all time! "Cold Turkey" next.

ABSOLUTE SUPRB CHOICE JOHN AT HIS VERY BEST !!! ANOTHER GREAT BY HIM IS 9 DREAM PURE CLASS AS WELL !!

What you got. Another banger from John. Thanks for the memories of great music. This one has always been one of my favorites as well as, what you got. Great word. Derailleur...forcing change. RIP John Lennon. 😢❤️👊

John is one of my 4 favorite Beatles too!

No-one could put so much meaning into a simple lyric like John; less is more! An absolute genius lyrically and so sadly missed. Dead now longer than he was alive 😭

Ned from Spain breezin in for this. One of my favorites, a dreamy, beautiful song, great lyrics and makes me miss him that much more. Fantastic bass playing by session master Gordon Edwards, rock solid Jim Keltner on drums and guitarist David Spinozza who played the solo on Dr. John's " Right Place Wrong Time" !

That tune melts you.

Such a beautiful song! It never gets old to me.

Lennon cruised around NYC like a God. And he was.

Amber is one cool mama! Especially for liking the Beatles!
