Geatest Song Ever Wrote...in Your Opinion


Recommended Posts

 

 

Imagin,,,John Lennon.

 

Or maybe bohemian rhapsody ,,,queen

Don't know if anyone's flagged this up but Imagine is the most hypocritical song ever written :D :D Best song? What a crock of crap.

 

"Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try" - At no point did he say "You lot go study Hindu under Maharishi Lads, I think it's all balls".

 

"Nothing to kill or die for" - He openly donated money and publicity to the political underworld of the Black Panthers.

 

"Imagine no possessions" - He had some really nice houses didn't he? What about that lovely painted rolls Royce? What about living in a high price hotel for years on end?

 

The more you read about the wife-beating, hypocritical, lying arse heroin addict the less you'll think he was some kind of "genius" and more of a down right plain and simple wankre.

It's all good and well being a hippie but we'd get nothing f***ing done if we lived like that, give piece a chance?? Load of bollocks, humans are not programmed that way as nice as it all seems. The only way to rule is with the Iron Fist!

I agree with you .. its Cashes performence for me piano lid at the end gets me every time :thumbs:

 

if you listen to the very first few lines i think its about the insulin injections he was diabetic , the needle ,the sting , just my take on it :hmm:

 

Its a cover of a Nine inch Nails song...its about a smackhead...Cash does the song with a ton more class than the original...in my opinion

I remember reading somewhere that Cash,s version was meant more in terms of getting old/watching your friends die etc......hence " everyone i know go,s away in the end ".....plus he,s sitting on a throne in the Johnny Cash museum,pictures of him with Elvis......seemed like a retrospective memory of his life before the accepted innevitable end he knew was coming..... i forget the guys name who wrote the song but that was the idea behind Cash,s version apparently.

Never seen the nine inch nails one not sure i want to either.
