Question

1.Listening to Imagine by John Lennon and reading through the lyrics, write a paragraph about what you think the intention of this piece of music is. (What is the point of is? Why was it written?)

2.What is one thing you like about this song that you think you could bring into your own playing / performances?

Answer 1

It was written to call for peace during the Vietnam War, and urged people around the world to live in unity. One thing I like about this song is how it can bring different people together as one, as it is a very unifying piece. (hope this helps :)

Explanation: Lennon was asking us to imagine a place where the things that divide us, like religion and possessions, did not exist. He felt that would be a much better place. This song is a strong political message sugarcoated in a beautiful melody.
