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

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

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 a river of sound
Thru the mirror 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 poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

I don’t hate much, but I HATE his murderer (I won’t write his name ever). 
I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news that day — oh, boy!

The world was cheated from all of the amazing contributions and music he would have made…. So utterly devastated that some miserable POS took his life… wtAF? It’s still upsetting to me. 

There simply isn’t punishment severe enough for robbing the world of John Lennon. 
Just watched “Get Back” for the 2nd time. What a bunch of lovely friends they were over all and through it all. They absolutely knew each other and how they were perceived by each other and they all communicated pretty honestly with each other. Not perfect and very human. I wish everyone could have that kind of friendship at least once in their life.
Such a beautiful song.  Still hurts so much that you were taken from us, John.  Your music eases the pain.  Thank you.  
Raised my rating three times during the course of listening to this.
Gotta be one of my favourite Lennon songs, ever.

Although this is somewhat dependent on political/sociological perspectives, I think Lenin's reputation is mixed, at best. Sure, Stalin was a monstrous person, but Lenin was willing to sacrifice many others. As for their status as musicians, I know nothing about them. History can be cruel.

First song ever to say pussy pussy.
 
From Wiki:


"Pang also states that the phrase repeated in the chorus, "Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé", came to Lennon in a dream and has no specific meaning. Pang added that Al Coury of Capitol Records initially protested against the use of the word "pussy" in the chorus, but after Lori Burton, the wife of studio engineer Roy Cicala, suggested that it should be sung as "poussé," as if in a foreign language, the lyrics were kept."


I think that:
1. It's hilarious
2. Ms. Cardi B was listening
the a-ha cover version also rocks especially with Morton Harket’s voice 🤩
I believe. Yes, I believe.

Imagine was released in 1971. The Lennons moved to the Dakota in 1973. When he died in 1980, his net worth was $800 million. He wasn't born with a silver spoon, so your take on him doesn't really land with me. Your take on Ono seems quite judgmental and narrow.

To imagine is just that, to imagine... it doesn't mean he claims he's living his ideals. As a person Lennon has been very heavily idealized in spite of often being a cruel wanker, but the music stands on its own.  Maybe you don't like it, that's fine, but please at least try using some facts when you cut into someone. 
There's a "10" and then there's a "10"...this is the latter.

Despite his fame and fortune (and regardless of who he was married to) Lennon was still on a quest for finding peace, not only for himself, but for all those who loved his music. There's nothing fatuous here. Maybe contradictory for some judgemental folks, but certainly not fatuous. He was, up until he was killed, an artist doing his best to enlighten and to raise consciousness for his generation and those to come.
So missed.  I always feel as though we missed so much by losing his creativity in the world so soon.

It all changes when you consider the possibility that he was talking to himself, doesn't it?  :)

Thank you for saying that. That "gutslamming" record is not an easy listen, but It's brilliant.

It's a favorite game for some to trash the post-Beatles work. It's also easy pickings. They all did some great stuff after but the alchemy of the 4 of them was impossible to top. John and Paul would have needed to find equally strong songwriting partners to push them to achieve the same heights. McCartney came closest when he wrote with Elvis C.

All Things Must Pass is my favorite of post breakup albums but to be fair, a good chunk of it was written in the Beatles years. McCartney's best solo song was also written pre-breakup ("Maybe I'm Amazed", along with "Junk").

I have always thought that "Imagine" was Lennon's reaction to what he has seen in the world not what he has accumulated,
besides who did you want to get the money, his management team? So let's not shoot the piano player.
But I agree about a lot of his solo stuff, I attibute that to him being notoriously lazy

John Lennon is a musical genius. Still don't like his work. Bleagh.
Comment on the music not the person, who cares if he is a hypocritical prick, he's "John Lennon" for christ sake I'm sure he could walk on water...just couldn't dodge bullets...too bad

Not being sarcastic - that's a good critique.
And then, what about the art he produced? The song, "Imagine." 

Impossible to argue that it's not well written and performed and inspiring in its own way.

So the art - amazing
the artist - a dick

This isn't the first time we've seen this problem, but it's pretty easy to point out with Lennon. (How he treated Julian, and then goes on to write "Beautiful Boy" for Sean. Dick move.)

How do we reconcile brilliant art with the unworthy artist?

Drug hallucinations look real in the brain

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20978-drug-hallucinations-look-real-in-the-brain

The visions induced by an Amazonian brew used by shamans may be as real as anything the eyes actually see, according to brain scans of frequent users of the drug.

Draulio de Araujo of the Brain Institute at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Natal, Brazil, and colleagues recruited 10 frequent users of the brew – called ayahuasca. They asked the volunteers to look at images of people or animals while their brains were scanned using functional MRI, then asked the volunteers to close their eyes and imagine they were still viewing the image. Unsurprisingly, the researchers found that neural activity in the primary visual cortex dropped off when volunteers imagined seeing the image rather than actually viewing it.

But when the team then gave the volunteers a dose of ayahuasca and repeated the experiment, they found that the level of activity in the primary visual cortex was virtually indistinguishable when the volunteers were really viewing an image and when they were imagining it. This means visions seen have a real, neurological basis, says de Araujo – they are not made up or imagined.

Michael Brammer, head of the brain imaging unit at King’s College London, says the study’s statistics appear to indicate something relatively robust. However, he says it’s difficult to pin down whether the eyes-closed responses on the drug are quantitatively the same as normal, eyes-open neural activity. “Functional MRI is not a one-to-one mapping of cerebral activity. If it were, things would be easier,” he says.

 
Genius.
Michael Stipe does a wonderful rendition of this song.

What are the odds? This song peaked at number No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Truly a very unique song, evocative of a unique era. I can't forget hearing this as a kid, & it still makes me feel like one every time! One of the mysterious things about it is that each time it fades as if it's ending, it begins again. It has a special Tao mastery of ebb and flow.

From what I've read, John didn't like the sound of his voice and always asked to have it effected in the mix.  Perhaps this is why we can't tell what the heck he's saying.

John Lennon by ~JSaurer

This tribute to John I've started to paint in the evening of the day he died. I was so shocked and couldn't find another way for my sadness... it's one of my last works in oil.

John Lennon was an adult who made his own decisions. It's much easier to blame Yoko, an artist, a woman, and a 'foreigner' for the Beatles' demise. It's ignorant thinking.

Alas, they desparately needed each other to keep that level of artistic expression going, the void never having been filled by Yoko nor Linda (nor could it have been, given how the Fabs were the "four-headed monster", a reference used by the Stones).

 
This is as succinct and IMHO dead on description of the pre- and post-Beatles Lennon and McCartney as I've read—and, bub, I've read almost all of 'em. I prefer John's post-Beatles output over Paul's, but that's a matter of taste. This is one of John's very best. Woulda made it on to a Beatles album, in my estimation the acid test, yes?

Too funny, bub. John Lennon was a far superior talent to Paul. You never heard any "Jet", "Silly Love Songs" or that other drivel from Lennon. He made mistakes, and some of his songs were better than others. But he always was, and always will be, a better songwriter than Paul McCartney.
 

So he made mistakes and some of his songs were better than others but not drivel like Macca's?  I would say that The Ballad of John and Yoko is every bit a piece of throw away drivel as Jet or Silly Love Songs.  But music is in the ear of the belistener.
