Experience the magic of music

Experience the magic of music
Imagine/John Lennon

(Liverpool, 1940 - New York, 1980) British singer and musician, founder of the legendary group The Beatles, a quartet that formed in the city of Liverpool with Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr and has become an indisputable reference history of modern music. John Winston Lennon was born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940, while Nazi planes bombed the city. His father, named Alfred, was a sailor who visited little home, until it disappeared completely. Then there was his mother, Julia Stanley, which disappeared, leaving the child in the care of a sister named Mary.

It was she who taught John the first chords on an old banjo grandfather of it. Liverpool was then a port city that was in decline. With a heterogeneous population, life there no great joy in store. However, the constant bustle caused by maritime traffic also had its advantages: in the luggage of seafarers from across the ocean came abundant records of country and rhythm and blues, which is immediately incorporated into the innate fondness of liverpoolianos by music.

John grew up listening to records by Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Buddy Holly, distinguished representatives of the musical currents of the time. For several years he studied at the School of Fine Arts and turned fifteen doubts resolved between painting and music in favor of the latter. In 1956 he met a boy who, like him, was only fully realized with a guitar in his hands: James Paul McCartney. Paul formed his first amateur band, The Quarrymen, ushering in a period of accelerated learning the rhythms of rock and roll.

Letter

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 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 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
