The dreamer



Imagine - John Lennon

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 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 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

George, we miss you

Per festeggiare il compleanno di George Harrison, il più giovane, il più introverso e il più mistico dei Fab Four, ho deciso di lasciarvi una delle sue canzoni migliori e forse la più conosciuta. Something dice tutto sul talento musicale e compositivo di Harrison, spesso passato in secondo piano a causa del grande successo della coppia Lennon/McCartney. Sebbene sia stato stroncato nel 2001 da un tumore al cervello (le sue ceneri sono state sparse nelle acque del Gange, fiume sacro indiano, secondo le sue volontà) la musica di Harrison non verrà mai dimenticata.
«When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.» George Harrison



Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
You know I believe her now
