Скачать или смотреть John Lennon’s Soulful “Imagine” – Kirk Schmidt at the Piano with some ‘String” along friends to help

John Lennon’s simple tune and his best selling creation was first heard on his 1971 eponymous album. The lyrics are are simple (and controversial to many) and the melody/chord structure too but together they struck at the hearts of his fans, having sold nearly 2 million copies worldwide. Over the years it has been performed by hundreds of artists.

My father Al, a professional pianist, never praised nor was he enamored of the Rock (Pop) Music revolution until the Beatles came along. He was particularly fascinated by their disregard for standard chord progressions. He used to tell me their melodies came first and the supporting chords were second nature, wherever they led. I never liked this tune, but found myself humming the song for some unknown reason lately. As an homage to my dad’s unique perspective on the Beatles, I decided to see what my creative juices could muster and the more I delved, the more I enjoyed myself. I hope you like it too.
