Idag är det 27 år sedan John Lennon sköts ihjäl på öppan gata i New York utanför sitt hem. Vill baka hylla denna fantastiska människan med att köra hans mest kända, och kanske vackraste låt:
Fast hans kärlekshyllningar går inte av för hackor de heller:
Imagine
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 that 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 that 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
Fast hans kärlekshyllningar går inte av för hackor de heller:
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
SvaraRaderaWith tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
...
Moonlight Shadow
SvaraRadera"The last that ever she saw him, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
He passed on worried and warning, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night, far away on the other side,
he was caught in the middle of a desperate fight, and she couldn't find how to push through.
The trees that whisper in the evening, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Sing the song of sorrow and grieving, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun, far away on the other side,
He was shot six times by a man on the run, and she couldn't find how to push through.
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away,
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day.
Four a.m. in the morning, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
I watched your vision forming, carried away by a moonlight shadow,
Star was glowin' in a silvery night, far away on the other side,
Will you come to talk to me this night, but she couldn't find how to push through.
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away,
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day."
Jag har för mig att texten faktiskt handlar om mordet på Lennon. Av ett annat geni - Mike Oldfield.
