Hive Open Mic 123 / Imagine Cover

▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hey there @hiveopenmic and Hive music lovers! I hope everyone’s well and has had a wonderful day.

I immediately thought of John Lennon's song "Imagine" when I saw this week's topic, 'A better world for all,' chosen by the most recent Spotlight Artist @daniky. I've previously played this song on my guitar, but with very simple chords and strumming of course. As I always say, I am not a guitar expert or a singer in the traditional sense, but that does not stop me from doing so as I adore music so much.😊

"Imagine," the song's title, invites us, listeners to think imaginatively. John Lennon creates a broad but clear picture of what he wants us to see with this song. It was also set in an imaginary world where many of the restrictions that determine social reality don't really exist. For example, in the second verse of the song, John Lennon sees a society where people are not separated based on their religious beliefs. Furthermore, material riches are almost non-existent.

My favourite part of the song, and the one with the most important message for me was its call for humanity, to put aside all differences and come united. I strongly believe that if there is unity, there will be absolute peace. And where there is peace, there is unquestionably Love. And when there is Love, the world becomes a better world for all of us.

Lyrics

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
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
Livin' life in peace
You
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
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

Thank you so much, and I hope you liked my cover.
