Imagine (John Lennon song)



"I remember listening to Imagine, a peace song as performed by English musician John Lennon, and that must've been one of the best-selling single of his entire solo career after the Beatles went on their separate ways, thanks to his wife, Yoko Ono. Well, I bet she and Lennon were, for two, the ones who wrote this beautiful song. I knew people were singing this song for peace."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Brave Defector

"Imagine" is a song co-written and performed by English musician John Lennon. The best-selling single of his solo career, its lyrics encourage the listener to imagine a world at peace without the barriers of borders or the divisions of religion and nationality and to consider the possibility that the whole of humanity would live unattached to material possessions. Shortly before his death, Lennon said that much of the song's "lyric and content" came from his wife Yoko Ono, and in 2017, she received a co-writing credit.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it becomes one of these popular songs of choice for pro-peace/anti-war protesters from around the world, even if it's being surpassed by The Journey Home.
