The Dreamer "John Lennon"


John Lennon is a person who I would like to meet most if he was still alive . I know him by "The Beatles " which is the greatest rock band in the 60~70 century . When I first knew him by his song is called "imagine". It is a song about the no war, peace and cosmopolitism world . He liked to express his thinking and put words into the songs . He used to write very simple words but it touches my heart deeply.

John Lennon was an English songwriter, singer, musician, graphicartist, author and peace activist who gained worldwide fame as one of the founders of The Beatles. He had two sons, Julian, with his first wife Cynthia, and Sean, with his second wife, artist Yoko Ono. Lennon was murdered by his fan in New York City on 8 December 1980 . He was just 40 . Until now every year on 8 December, there is a memorial ceremony in Hollywood . There will be a lot of his fans come from different countries and memorize him . It includes speakers discussing Lennon, and musical tributes.

Most of the songs he wrote I was not born yet . But, everytime when I listen to those songs and they touches my heart even encourage me when I feel down . Sometimes I feel we have a lot of the same ideas for life style , love or the view of this world . He was a peace activist . Many songs he wrote that wished our world could be more peaceful . Sometimes I wonder , if he was alive , what would he think about the world nowadays ? Would he still insist and believe the cosmopolitism world someday ? However , we could never know this answer . But, I believe he would still forward to it by his songs , influence and inspire people from his music .
