It’s probably a generational thing. He gets mentions from Bowie too. That generation’s mission was to overthrow the previous one, of which Churchill was talismanic. Also, John’s middle name was Winston, perhaps it sat uncomfortably with him?

The more we suffer, the more we believe in a god. John Lennon such a brilliant man!

Never understood Lennon’s issue with Churchill. The guy is considered a historical icon and one of the most influential people in British history. Did he molest Lennon at a young age or something?

An absolute masterpiece! One of the most moving piece of music I ever heard! Lennon could have continued the enumeration for several days!! and get the tension, and the following resolve, even stronger!!!
With my respect for Ringo — my favourite drummer– are the drums needed?

Nevermiiiiimd (Gilda R.) The Beatles used lyrics “God and heaven” and John L walked the path of this life gracefully; with peace, love, serenity and musical talent better than most of us. I shall continue listening to Beatle music during my recovery. May the Great Love Spirit pour Love, peace and serenity on all his love children this Holliday season! Ancient Serene Choctaw Hippie signing off. People who hate people will never know the Creator, cuz the Creator is Love. All we need is Love. Rock on

So did John the musical genius embrace the belief that the there is a Holy Great Spirit of Love that exists in a place not accessible by mortal means ????

As a big John fan, I find myself feeling somewhat uncomfortable with this song, which comes as a surprise to me. I like the overall sentiment but it becomes too gratuitously sentimental at the end I feel, with the lines about him now being John and repeatedly saying the dream is over. I hope I haven’t committed blasphemy in saying that, it’s just a personal feeling, but I’ve yet to see it reiterated elsewhere online so perhaps that’s just me. Yes the Beatles broke up, but I don’t feel it needed to become some narrative. If anything, this song feeds into that myth.

Lennon for me by writing this (and Anyway) was Close(r) to GOD,
God within US all Speaks the Truth,
Lennon also wrote All I want is the Truth…
For me he was Part of Our Journey Surching our way Out of here, Planet Pain… etc
He invites us to go Home , Remember us Going home , 2 of us also and All You Need is Love ALLL Inspired by Holy Spirit
or God, But in the True way God Loves us to Hear, and Remember our True Home… THANXX SO MUCH Brother JOHN
I Never forget You and See You in Heaven!!

A John Lennon masterpiece off his greatest album. Wonderful how this song builds and builds. Lennons great singing with fine piano work by Billy Preston. The message on it obviously shocked a lot of people at the time.

Beautiful song, one of Lennon’s best both lyrically and vocally.
