Imagine there's no Heaven

I just listened to it for the 1000th time, and today I thought that I share one of the best song lyrics ever with you. It`s from the song Imagine by John Lennon. Don`t think about the song, don`t think about the music, don`t compare it, just don`t think about anything at all... just read the text.

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 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 live as one

But think about how many songs are written, and how few you really get to read or hear. Sometimes it doesn`t matter how beautiful the songs are, sometimes it`s all about marketing. Think about all the crap you hear on a daily basis, why do they get played, because people love them or because of smart marketers? Anyway, John Lennon was probably both... a musical genius and a smart marketer. The Beatles ruled the musical world and in some ways I guess they still do.
