“Imagine” by John Lennon, is a musical masterpiece. But also a song of absolute existential despair! The atheist hymn. It offers no HOPE (hence “Imagine”)! So we counter with a song dedicated to the soon despairing Godless existentialists out there. You know who you are!
The least damning thing I could say about it, is it is incredibly naïve.
omg “Imagine” is a rather dreary tome music-wise and just a step above his dreadful Christmas song and one of my least favorite Lennon solo singles. OTOH “Instant Karma” was truly one of my favorites, that slap-back echo, slick production and gutsy vocal with a lot of punch. Sonic Heaven.
I think I might have been in the Fifth grade when I bought the “Karma” 45rpm it was hot on the radio at the time. That line “Who the hell do you think you are...” made it especially forbidden and desirable to acquire!
