John Lennon's Imagine
John Lennon’s song “Imagine” is by all means a classic which will endure in the hearts of many, as long as it is still around. With that in mind, I believe that it should live on by being placed in the UTD time capsule. It has many aspects that make it the ideal song for such a project, from its musical quality, to its imperative message of peace. Lennon’s melodic style conveys a poignant innocence, which complements the theme of the song perfectly. The music stays simple and seems to grasp the lyrics without a seam. It is the type of song that will appeal to almost anyone who hears it because of its rythmic, almost hypnotic sound. I don’t know what the music of the “future” will sound like, but I believe a song like this is one that can be enjoyed by all generations to come. It isn’t the music of our generation today; not rock with heavy distortion, or rap with deafening bass, nor is it the synthesised R’n’B many of us choose to listen to. It is the type of song that touches a person’s heart, the kind of music we listen to because we can feel it. This selection is a more instrumental rock that is set apart from all other genres, deserving of the reverance received in the decades past, and for those to come.
