__ - John Lennon: “Imagine”. - __ __ **Introduction:** __ “Imagine” is a song who was composed in 1971 by John Lennon. John Lennon was born in 1940 in Liverpool. In his twenties he belonged to “The Beatles”, one of the most famous pop groups in the music history. He played the piano, harmonic and the rhythmic guitar and sang too. He was one of the most important members of the group, for several reasons: - he was the person who invented the name “The Beatles” mixing the word “beetles” with the word “beat”, which remembers the style of music that the group played: “beat music”. - John and Paul were the main composers. On 11th December 1968, Lennon performed alone during the special “The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.”, but it was in 1969 when “The Beatles” finished their career and John Lennon went on alone. John Lennon’s career finished when he was murdered by a fan on 8th December 1980.

// 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 that 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
