Imagine

Sometime last week I came home from school for lunch and flipped on the radio, and the DJ put on a remake of John Lennon's Imagine, done by A Perfect Circle. I listened to it and didn't much care for it, but it's one of those songs that get stuck in the back of your brain, and come back a week later, so I found myself searching for it, pretty easy to find though. Here is a link to the video for APC with about 30 seconds of interview you can skip over at the beginning Imagine - A Perfect Circle

I have actually never heard the version by John Lennon, so I'm seeing what people think of which is better, I havn't heard many good things in comparison, but I like the song, and the video goes along well with it.

Well, you can click that link and hear the APC version of you like, but it would be biased if you havn't heard both, as I havn't, but either way, you can hear one of them.

Waiting for it to load, but I don't see how you could possibly top John Lennon's version. I've yet to hear anyone come close (Neil Young's version blew spectacularly). As to those of you who've never heard John Lennon's version you really need to expand the types of music you listen to.

How can you not have heard Lennons version!

Just no.

Yeah... Just listend to the Lennon version... Very very different, but the APC one is more my style, and I proabably like it because it's the first one I listened to. Both are good, but I like the downbeat style of the APC version more.

Dude, watch the video again, it isn't anti-american, infact, it never says or shows anything saying they do or don't support anything, but with the lyrics such as "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too..." they show scenes of war, of dictators, violence and death. This video is pointed at the human race as a whole, not at America. As he says in the interview at the beginning "That's the beauty of it, this is footage that... it's done on regular T.V." The reason they took images of the Iraq war is because it's also very recent. It all ties together with the song if you try to grasp the link between the two. I think the best thing they put in the video, was run all those little headlines and sports scores on the bottom of the screen, like in most news programs, to show that even though it's going on, we don't really see it as anything big, as long as it's not affecting us directly.
