Imagine (Evolution Documentary)

"Imagine" was inspired by Yoko's input

There's a lot of pieces in it saying

I can imagine this, or imagine that

If you look, if you get a copy and you look through it and you see

Where the lyrics were by her

And I know she helped on a lot of the lyrics

But I wasn't "man enough" to let her have credit for it

So that song was actually written by John and Yoko

But I was still selfish enough

Un, unaware to

Just sort of take her contribution without acknowledging it

Because I was still full of wanting my own space

After being in the room with four guys

Always having to share everything

Y'know share shirts, share the same dry cleaner, the same everything

And the song itself, expresses um

What I'd learned from being with Yoko and my own feelings on it

I've just seen the words of "Imagine" which are very, very good

Oh good, I'm glad you liked it

Very, very good (You should see all the other lyrics, too)

Well I'll play them all in about an hour (Just lovely)

Just goes "Imagine there's no heaven..."

Do do do do

It's easy if you try

Do do

No hell below us

Do do

No one in the sky, imagine all the people

Living for today, yeah

You'll hear the record (Lovely)

I'm on piano for this, so someone should be on another keyboard

Yeah, what's the one, a ballad?

Yeah, come on, I'll teach you

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world, yoo hoo

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

That's a nice one

Yeah, that's the one I like best

I hope there's another piano, because if he can, the same kind of piano

An octave higher or something, it'd be beautiful

Well, we can always use this

(Instead of electric) We could do it on one

It's a delicate song

You can do it on the top half of the piano, maybe

Yeah

That's it (Yeah)

Well I'll go on the white one, 'cause that's what I wanted to do, use that one

Yeah, heh heh heh

That's the best I think

So

Imagine there is no heaven

Yoko, why don't you go in there and listen for a bit?

Yeah, right right

Okay, let's go then

Wish they'd told us before

(John, there's someone on the phone for ya)

Who?

I don't talk to somebody, heh heh

Might be somebody

(There's some wine in the kitchen)

Can you put something through on the earphones?

What?

Some of the electric piano in the earphones

Yeah, there's none

That's better

How's that?

Imagine all the people

Living for today, ah ha, aah

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Yoo hoo, ooh

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

(John, you think you can draw out that ending?)

(And the world, it really gets lost)

If you could what?

Do what?

(If you could just slow it down somewhat)

I hope someday, you'll join us

And the world will live as one

(Yeah, right there)

Well, what's together?

(Y'know, like the drum and bass)

We'll just do it this...

Just do it the same and just

What?

Just do it the same, and like, just feel it like

Maybe we can figure it out

I hope someday, you'll join us

And the world will live as one
