Before now, never heard anyone call him any of these things.

I wonder if that will ever make it DVD... It was a pretty good documentary. I like the way it was narrated by John himself.

RIP, John.

Extremely bad transition

Martin Luther King Jr.: profound
John Lennon: fatuous

This song just makes you feel hopeful, even when things look bleak.

This album was recorded during John's "lost weekend" in LA. May Pang was with him and it is she who is whispering "John".

Just caught the documentary "Imagine" on cable by accident the other night. Great film, but I always cry at the end. I really miss John too.

A few months ago this song was stuck in my head for like 2 weeks!

ahhhh bowakowwa

So long ago, was it in a dream?
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes, I know,
It seemed so very real,
It seemed so real to me.

Took a walk down the street,
To the heat whispered trees,
I thought I could hear, hear, hear, hear,
Somebody call out my name, (john)
As it started to rain, (john)
Two spirits dancing so strange.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.

Dream, dream away, magic in the air,
Was magic in the air.
I believe, yes, I believe,
More I cannot say,
What more can I say?

On the river of sound,
Thru the merry go round, round,
I thought I could feel, feel, feel, feel,
Music touching my soul,
Something warm, sudden cold,
The spirit dance was unfolding.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse.

Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa pousse, pousse,
Ah! böwakawa.

Is that "George" being whispered? I've always thought it was supposed to be, though it's obviously a backwards soundbite.

Wow it's been a dog's age since I heard this one. Takes me back to middle school....
Thanks Bill!

Havent' heard this in a long time. It's from the Walls and Bridges album from around 1974. Good song, good album.

such a favorite of mine.

Who's on bass? I should know this, but is it Klaus Voorman? Adds a nice counterpoint to an otherwise simple song.

man, I really f***in' miss John. :(

10... only a 10? Can't we create a new rating # just for John? Maybe label it: "Transcendent of any God-Image"

Leave it to John to make even gibberish spiritual and profound!

He says "Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé"
What does it mean? here is what i have found..

John sings the foreign-sounding phrase "Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé" in his song "#9 Dream." According to John, it doesn't mean anything...it is just a phrase that came to him in a dream and he decided to base a song around it. Artists are funny that way. (click here)

hey i like this song but can someone tell me what hes saying? :D

This song just makes me feel good. And a great segue from Moodswings Spiritual High (part III) with the Martin luther King I Have a Dream speech. Gee, I miss John.

He SO should have stayed with May Pang instead of Yoko. She was so much cuter and so much less... Yoko.

One of John's best songs from his solo career......

its been over two years since this song was last played. Why such a long wait?
