I thought a lot about this prompt as there are so many songs that I would like to post: Il Mondo, I'll Never Find Another You, Isa Lei, I'll Meet You Halfway and many others.
In the end I chose ....
Imagine - John Lennon
I'm actually recycling a post I did nearly a year ago.
"Imagine" was written and sung by John Lennon himself and released in 1971.
In 2004 "Rolling Stone" ranked it 3rd in it's list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time"
The main theme of the song was Lennon's message of giving peace a chance - imagining a world that lives in peace.
I didn't quite understand or appreciate it as a child, but now it definitely features on my top 20.
I think it's a very spiritual song.
Youtube - Imagine
My Bollywood choice this week is ...
It's The Time To Disco - from the movie Kal Ho Na Ho (2003)
starring Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan, and Shahrukh Khan
The music is conducted by Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa. The lyrics are by Javed Akhtar. The soundtrack became one of the most successful music albums of the year.
Youtube - It's the time to disco
Check out some other entries at ABC Wednesday.
Wishing you a day when imagination runs wild or maybe it's the time to disco! In other words, enjoy your day and have a blast.
Warm Regards
Imagine is always a favourite. It encapsulates everything that the world needs to be a better place.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzy for bring this song to my mind today. The song fills me with a lot of hope.

Thanks Kathy. John Lennon wrote and sang some awesome songs.
DeleteImagine is such a powerful word. I ask my kids to imagine and sometimes to shut their eyes before I start a topic.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, it sure is. Einstein's legendary words were "Imagination is more important than knowledge".
Delete"Imagine" is truly one of the best songs of all time. I featured a comic based on it this past week on my blog - check it out if you want to. I really love Lennon and that song in particular. Very nice post!
