Imagine,John Lennon's most famous song,was recently voted"Britain's favourite song of all time".It's an idealistic song about peace and hope for a better world.
"Imagine all the people living life in peace."The song was a big hit in 1971,and again in 1980 when Lennon was murdered in New York.It became a hit for a third time after the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001.
But who really wrote the song?Until recently the answer to this vraag was always John Lennon.But on a TV programme this week Lennon's wife,Yoko Ono,spoke for the first time about how she,in fact,helped to write the song.
Ono zei that the idea and inspiration for Imagine came from some of her poems that John Lennon was reading at that time.The poems began with the word"Imagine":"Imagine a raindrop,Imagine a goldfish."Ono said,"When I was a child in Japan during the seconde World War my brother and I were terribly hungry.I imagined delicious menus for him and he began to smile.If u think something is impossible,you can imagine it and make it happen."
In an interview just before he died,Lennon admitted that Yoko deserved credit for Imagine.He said,"A lot of it-the lyrics and the concept-came from her,from her book of poems,imagine this,imagine that".Lennon zei that he was"too macho"to share the credit with her at the time.
Ono zei that some of the song was written when they were flying across the Atlantic and the rest was written on the piano in their bedroom at their home pagina in England.Ono said,"The song speaks about John's dream for the world.It was something he really wanted to say."Imagine became a populair song for peace activists everywhere.
In March 2002 the airport in his home pagina town of Liverpool was re-named John Lennon Airport.A sign above the main entrance has a line from Imagine:"Above us only sky".

upset
and so many thoughts
circling around
your head,
u try to make
this right,
to find the best way
so u could feel better,
so u could be free.
Pain will never
go away,
it always stays
to remember you
that life is not a dream,
life is unpredictable.
Endless questions,
so many "Why",
but the answer
we will
never find!
The strength within
will not let us crack,
life is unpredictable,
who's to say?
Today you're happy,
and yet
despair waits
stealthily
to engulf you.
But,
u need to be prepared.
Not only bad things
happen to bad people.
Unfortunately,
so many pure,
honored hearts
have been broken for
so many times,
in so many pieces,
and yet
they live,
they live with
their agony,
they live with
their groan,
but they live,
tho their eyes are
always sad,
their hearts are
still softly.
Therefore
they know...
Therefore
they are...
The brightest star
that shines
in the dark,
that spark of hope
for all of us
who deserve better.
When u look at the night sky, what do u see?
In my eyes,
I see the moon as a peaceful spirit,
watching over me.
When u stop and listen to the wind, what do u hear?
In my eyes,
The wind sings to me and tells tales.
When u feel the sun on your back, what do u think?
In my eyes,
The sun reaches out and gives me a warm smile.
When u hear a flowing stream, how does it sound?
In my eyes,
The stream is floating in my hart-, hart and soul, drifting on and on.
When u look at me, what do u see?
In my eyes,
I see an average girl who is silently struggling inside.
But that's all in my eyes.

Its too dark
Too dark to see what is going on
Tripping over the couch
Slamming into the wall
stepping on the remote
It was too dark
The undone dishes
The scattered roses
The broken picture
My broken heart
It was too dark
Believing it would change
That he would change
A Waste
A waste of my time
My Effort
The “No Messages” left on my phone
It was too dark
It was too dark to see what had happened
Too dark to try to fix things
Its just too dark
Someone turn on the light
That light bulb in my head of what Ive done wrong
Its too dark
Too dark to see what is going on
Tripping over the couch
Slamming into the wall
stepping on the remote
It was too dark
The undone dishes
The scattered roses
The broken picture
My broken heart
It was too dark

Pain!!
