Title: John Lennon
Post by Miro on 06.12.2004 at 22:32:31

V sredo, 8. decembra, bo obletnica umora velike glasbenika in borca za mir, člana legendarne skupine The Beatles, Johna Lennona. V New Yorku leta 1980 ga je na ta dan ubil neki krščanski fundamentalistični obsedenec, ki mu ni mogel odpustiti, da je nekoč izjavil, da so Beatli popularnejši od Jezusa (čeprav je bilo to mogoče celo res). Na ta umor se je pripravljal več let in ga žal uspel tudi izvesti.

John Lennon je bil poleg tega, da je bil velik glasbenik in pesnik, tudi velik borec za mir. Čeprav si je s svojim delovanjem nabral velikansko bogastvo, je sanjal o svetu brez lastnine. Zaradi tega in njegovih drugih levičarskih stališč ter ateizma so ga mnogi konservativci imeli za nevarnega revolucionarja in komunista, kar je po svoje tudi bil.

Mnoge njegove pesmi so postale legendarne, med njimi dve mirovni himni "Imagine" in "Give Peace a Chance", ki so jo študentje ameriških univerz prepevali na mirovnih demonstracijah, medtem ko so jih policaji demokracije neusmiljeno pretepali z gumijevkami.

Po 11.09.2001 so bile na mnogih ameriških radijskih postajah njegove pesmi prepovedane, predvsem obe  omenjeni mirovni himni.

Bil je človek, ki mu je sta mu svoboda vseh ljudi in mir na svetu pomenila vse.  Zato ga je ubil nek patološki krščanski fanatik, simbol družbe, ki se je v zadnjih letih predvsem v ZDA  institucionalizirala, žal pa ima tudi pri nas veliko privržencev.



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

Saj je bil dober, samo škoda, ker se je preveč pustil voditi tisti zmešani Yoko Ono, ki je iz njega naredila pokornega sužnja.

"Woman"

Woman I can hardly express,
My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness,
After all I'm forever in your debt,
And woman I will try express,
My inner feelings and thankfullness,
For showing me the meaning of succsess,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman I know you understand
The little child inside the man,
Please remember my life is in your hands,
And woman hold me close to your heart,
However, distant don't keep us apart,
After all it is written in the stars,
oooh well, well,
oooh well, well,

Woman please let me explain,
I never mean(t) to cause you sorrow or pain,
So let me tell you again and again and again,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah) now and forever,
I love you (yeah, yeah)....

Power To The People
John Lennon
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

Say you want a revolution
We better get on right away
Well you get on your feet
And out on the street

Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

A million workers working for nothing
You better give 'em what they really own
We got to put you down
When we come into town

Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on

I gotta ask you comrades and brothers
How do you treat you own woman back home
She got to be herself
So she can free herself

Singing power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people
Power to the people, right on
Now, now, now, now

Utopija je družbeno stanje, katerega mogoče nikoli ne bo.

Toda vseeno se je za nekaj potrbno boriti?


Mir in utopija nista eno in isto: svet brez lastnine je najbrž res utopija, medtem ko je mir stanje brez vojne.



uživajte

GOD
John Lennon


God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain

I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality

The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over

Huh, prvič sem v bistvu brala tole od Lennona.
Poznam pa predelavo od U2 (God part II; plata Rattle & Hum). Bonotovo besedilo mi je bližje. Mal nadgradnje, mal ironije pa to.

Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same without the lies he made up
I don't believe in excess success is to give
I don't believe in riches but you should see where I live
I ... I believe in love

Don't believe in forced entry I don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in deathrow, skidrow or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi it just went of in my hand
I ... I believe in love

Don't believe in cocaine I got a speedball in my head
I could cut and crack you open ... did you hear what I said?
Don't believe them when they tell me there ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy the sick stay poor
I ... I believe in love

I don't believe in Goldman his type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first
I don't believe that rock'n roll can really change the world
As it spins in revolution spirals and turns
I ... I believe in love
