Lyrics Analysis
By: Claudia A. Martinez
Imagine, by: John Lennon ( The Beatles)
Imagine the world in peace, I've imagined it and a song that connects to the world in that way is, Imagine, by John Lennon (The Beatles). It connects to it because he (John Lennon) hopes that others think of the world in a peaceful way without war.
This song also relates to me because I always imagine that everyone in the world shares the world. This part of the song inspires me to imagine the world sharing even more,"Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brother hood of man Imagine all the people Sharing the world..."
This song has to do with the life of the artist because he wrote in his lyrics, "You may say 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."
I think that the time that this song was written war was going on and so thats why in a part of his lyrics he wrote, "Imagine theres 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..."
The novel Small Steps also relates to this song Imagine because Armpit/Theodore always probably imagines himself with Kaira Deleon. Ginny imagines what it would be like with her dad around in the house. X-ray imagines what it would be like to be rich and famous like Kaira. Kaira imagines herself being eight teen and getting to fire the crazy El Genius. I also think that Kaira wants to fire Aileen and her jealous back up singers. The part of the song that says, "Imagine theres no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today." It means that what ever El Genius does will make him go to hell and maybe Kaira doesn't want that for him. She wants to give him another chance, same as Doofus/Fred.
This song Imagine is talking about the world and how our society in it is not spreading peace with all the war thats going on. John Lennon is trying to convince the people to Imagine every thing peaceful and every body sharing so that the world "will live as one".
Some times I do wonder what the world would be like if John Lennon's song Imagine was/were able to come true. I think that the world would be better because it would not have pollution or Global Warming, without those bombs and war it would be better for the process of humans.
This artist John Lennon and his song Imagine made me think alot. Actually this project made me think alot because I use to listen to the music and not care about what the lyrics meant or said but now I know that if you close attention to a song it will tell information about the artist and what he thinks. Thats all I can say about this song Imagine.

Imagine lyrics
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 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 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
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 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 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
Pop Music Project: The Beatles Biography
The Beatles (John Lennon)
By: Claudia Alexandra Martinez
John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England in the 1940's he was a smart peaceful man who was first in a band called The Quarry Men also known as the Black jacks. John Lennon's career starts in 1957 with the Quarry men.Then Paul McCartney met John in 1957, when John was performing with his other band. There he decided to make a band with Paul. Then they met the other band players and called themselves The Beatles.
The band and John wrote about peace , harmony and there lives. This man lived a hard and sad life because his dad was never home and he was absent during Johns life. His mom was never with him so Johns sister Mimi and her husband decided to take care of him until they died in a car accident. That is why I think he wrote the song called Mother.
Though his life was rough he succeeded and became famous. One of his best songs were Imagine, and there are others like Julia. Imagine became an international peace song. The Beatles sang pop music which turned out okay for them. John Lennon also had an impact in art because in 01/12/1970 he joined an art gallery in London.
The members of The Beatles band are John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey). They had a manager who was named Brian Epstein. At first there drummer was Pete but then they made Ringo the permanent drummer. Then Stuart Sutcliffe left the band and that made Paul have to cange from guitar player to bass player.
The Beatles had a great band until to much pressure came and they made Beatlemania. Beatlemania is a web site that they made that talks about there embarrassing moments and all there lives. Beatlemania also wrote about rumors and lies about them. Check out my link to Beatlemania.They made a couple of other albums but then one day McCartney got tired of dealing with the band and fans and so he announced that The Beatles had broke up. The Beatles broke up on April 10, 1970, after that each member took there own path some became solos and/or band leaders.
John was killed by a fan in 1980. George died of cancer in 2001. Every thing turned kind of sad when they made the dissision to break up. I wonder if they would have lived if they were all still together in the band. Maybe that fan that killed John was mad at the fact that The Beatles had split up.
