Hoy, se cumplen ya 30 años de la pérdida del hombre que creía en la paz y en el amor como la salida de todos nuestros problemas, del hombre que con su música inspiró a muchos, y hasta nuestros días lo sigue haciendo, John Lennon.
¿Cabe destacar que amo a Lennon? Bueno, para las personas que me conocen saben que es mi ídolo, sí, no le tengo un altar en mi cuarto porque luego mami me regaña (?) pero para mi es la mejor persona que ha podido existir, no hablaré de su vida ya que en cualquier sitio lo van a conseguir, un niño que creció sin un padre, en lo que dejó la segunda guerra mundial, en lo que era desolación, el hombre que crearía el cambio, miembro de la mayor banda de la historia y que un 8 de diciembre de mi 1980 sería asesinado por David Chapman frente a su edificio en Nueva York, el hombre que fue la morsa.
30 años de los cuales nunca sabremos que más nos iba a dar John, 30 años en los que seguimos llorando su ida de este mundo, quién sabe dónde estará ahora, quién sabe a dónde habrá ido, pero dondequiera que esté, él sabe que su legado nunca morirá, él sabe que sus canciones no dejarán de sonar, él sabe que lo extrañamos.
Tanto con los Beatles como en solitario nos podemos dar cuenta del gran artista que fue, cuando oímos sus melodías, cuando cantamos "Imagine" o "Mind Games", en ese momento deseamos que Lennon siga con vida. Sólo nos queda recordarlo como lo que fue, el artista de la paz, el héroe del amor, "war is over, if you want it", "all you need is love".
Y acá la letra de mis dos canciones favoritas :P
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake,
waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman,
they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard,
Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
Yellow matter custard,
dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman,
they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman,
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman,
they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus,
I am the walrus,
goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.
Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.

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
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 that 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
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
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 that 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
