What song/s really resonate with you AND why? For me... John Lennon - Imagine!

Greetings peeps,

Having recently joined Steemit, I thought I would open the floor with this specific post for a few reasons:

  • There is such an abundance of bands/songs out there these days and finding real quality music is difficult so hopefully your responses will broaden our musical horizons.

  • I am sure there may be stories that come along with the songs which are always entertaining to hear and allows us to share and express.

  • Seeing the various songs and from which era they stem could be fascinating!

I have recently started teaching myself the guitar (mostly because I love to hear my exceptionally average voice and can now just have a jam) and after taking the time to read the lyrics John Lennon's "Imagine", all I can say is WOW!

I understand that many people may not share his views, but hopefully you can appreciate the visionary that he was nonetheless. Blockchain and its application to crypto currencies is a huge step towards John's vision of "sharing all the world"!

Have a read at this short article as this guy nails it: https://hubpages.com/entertainment/Imagine_John_Lennon

Then listen to this unique acoustic version and take a moment to celebrate the magic he brought to our world in all his musical influences:

This song will transcend throughout time and is all the more relevant now what with our glorious planet being stripped of its essence thanks to greed, myopia and a lack of compassion and empathy.

But all is not lost; I have faith that endeavours like Steemit with people behind it driving positive energy and growth in real and practical ways will triumph!

Peaceout!

That is such an amazing song, although I prefer A Perfect Circle's cover of the song. Personal preference, but same message. A song that never fails to resonate with me is Lateralus by Tool. The song may not have such a profound worldly meaning like Imagine, but it has spiritual significance that I adore. There is no other song that has come close to this one for me. This song has a passion for spiritual evolution. I'll include a link to a YouTube video for you. Enjoy if you choose to listen! <3

Good choice! I have not listened to Tool in ages, they're back on my playlist, thanks! And yeah that Perfect Circle's version is awesomely dark! :)

Nice to see another APC/Tool fan! <3 Haha. You're very welcome! Thank you for posting. ^_^
