I am a dreamer...

As some of you know, I usually don't care much for lyrics. Not sure why. Maybe it is because I have never really liked(or understood) poetry. Or because the music is usually so amazing, that I don't really bother to look into the lyrics. And I am terrible at understanding what the singers are saying usually, no matter who the band is. But there is one song, whose lyrics are so awesome, that I couldn't help but notice. Not just the song, but the lyrics as well. Actually, especially the lyrics. 


Imagine by John Lennon


Imagine there's no Heaven 
It's easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today 

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 

You may say that I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one 
I hope someday you'll join us 
And the world will be as one 

Imagine no possessions 
I wonder if you can 
No need for greed or hunger 
A brotherhood of man 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world

I especially love the way A Perfect Circle plays it. I think has a much darker tone, which unfortunately, is more in tune with what reality is. 

Here is a link to it on YouTube...you'll have to put up with the ad if you want to see the official video. Else, just YouTube it, and there are tons of others that haven't been taken down by the record label(yet). 

APC - Imagine

These lyrics represent a large part of my views. I like that :) And yes, I'm a dreamer...But I'm not the only one.
