Imagine (song)

Imagine is a utopian song, with elements of atheism and socialism, written and performed by John Lennon.

Some writers see this beautiful song as unintentionally self-satirical, as the multimillionaire songwriter is depicted in a film of the song playing a white grand piano in an enormous country house, while inviting us to "Imagine no possessions".

When the Liverpool airport was named after Lennon, a phrase from the song, "above us only sky", was painted on the ceiling of the terminal.
