Lyrics

[ john ]

john, your words where sweet
today none knows what they mean
john, you're still with me
in my dreams i feel free
john, let's walk together
let's give piece a chance
let's walk on the wild side
don't let them put us down

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

let's get together man
let's give piece a chance

john, I imagine there's no heaven
it's easy when I try
john, I know you're here with me
none really dies
john, let's walk together
let's walk towards that light
let's walk on the wild side
don't let them put us down

© MKN with some words from "The Yellow Submarine" and "Imagine" by the Beatles and John Lennon.

Great tribute to a great man
I enjoyed this. Thoughts that more people should entertain
these days.

I like in the two "John,..." verses how you do the pausing but I
was expecting and would like to hear after the first four lines
of line/pause/line/pause/etc to hear the last four lines
delivered in a continuous stream of music and vocals. I hope
that makes sense to you, what I'm trying to say.

Check out my latest song called From Nothing

	Intoxicating At first I didn't like the stop and go nature of the first verse. But then, with the two different rhythmic shifts it started to all fit together. Cool song, Mikki. Great message and tribute to Mr. Lennon. Very warm sound on this... acoustic guitar was perfect and very rich. Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Timeless message but, of course, you are right, nobody knows, or seems to care too much these days for words of peace. Awesome song. Awsome sentiment. Reeled me in from the beginning. Thanks. Check out my latest song called Bourbon Street Dawn

	offbeat Great song, great message... I really like the way you have put this together. The stop/start verse really grabs you from the beginning. Your unique voice is a curiosity (I mean that as a compliment). It reminds me of the quirky singers fronting Modest Mouse and Pere Ubu... I think I have already said that before, haven't I? Check out my latest song called Gossamer dissected

	Lovely song... This is really clever; I really like the stop start sections with the acoustic guitars. I love the vamping piano I can hear in the background occasionally which sounds very Lennon-ish. Great piece of work. Course, I was always a McCartney man meself... Am I allowed to say that I never liked "Imagine"? Check out my latest song called Had We But World Enough

peace...
is something we should always strive for i believe. Love
the idea behind the delivery of this message.

The background vocals have a wonderful subtle haunting
vibe to them. I agree with pgreenstone regarding the
stop/start thing stopping after the first 4 stanzas.

also like how you pick things up at the end, the handclaps
were a nice touch. this has a very live feel to it. nice job.
Lennon's one of my favorite songwriters - and as long as
we're talkin' 'bout peace, here's more Lennon lyrics i'll
leave you with -
"hold on John, John hold on, it's gonna be all right. you're
gonna win the fight.
Hold on world, world hold on, It's gonna be alright, you're
gonna see the light
When you're one Really one Well, you get things done
Like they've never been done So hold on"
