Imagine by John Lennon

@maxx May be it is well written in the sents of it sounding good and rolling a round with the tune well then yes it totally works. But the lyric content it self is a load of randomly put together peaces of crap by a writer who was 2 parts stoned at the time. When Rolling Stone asked him what all the words meant he said they meant that he didnt have to worry about paying his bills any more.

it tells a complete story; and it is much better written than rap, or any of todays songs, which are nothing more than computer generated sounds; i highly doubt many of todays artists know how to actually play a real musical instrument.  Also in case you did not know, the song was written as a tribute to the various artists who died in a plane crash, destroying an era and legends of music; a generation lost. @Barnardot

So some people say. But the person who wrote the song says completely other wise.

People did that with Bob Dylan songs way back when and analized the lyrics to the extent of writing books and thesises. But Dylan admitted that he was all ways off his brain when he wrote and he simply wrote down what ever came to his head. Charles Manson made a big deal out of a Beatles song and Paul McCartney was gob smacked about what people made of the song and that because he had beer feet walking a cross Abbey Road it meant he was dead. 

And then there was all the care fully crafted and hidden occult references in Led Zeppelin songs. Jimmy Page made a speech at Oxford Uni and laughed saying that it was hard enough for them to write any lyrics let alone hidden occult stuff.
