"Imagine" by John Lennon
After listening to "Imagine" by John Lennon, I think the lyrics were very anti-war. It was basically saying that he wanted peace and the world to be one. He wants us to imagine the world with nothing dividing us. The audience is getting the idea to go against the war. As well as spread peace. The emotions you get from this song is sad, hopeful, and wanting peace. Other meanings can be taken from the lyrics of this song. They are not just specifically talking about Vietnam. There are connections to counterculture in this song. One being that he said "They say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one". Meaning that he wasn't the only dreamer like in the counterculture he was going his own way in his own type of society. He also seemed like a "Hippie".
