This song came out in 1980 on the Double Fantasy album. It was out for maybe a month or two when John was taken from us. The radio couldn't get enough of the song back then. And neither could John's fans. Even those that didn't like John's music wanted to hear this all the time. I was 17 then. Now, I'm 60 and after 43 years, I find the song still has meaning. You're still missed John. RIP.

As I grow older (41 at the moment), this song takes on deeper meaning. I see many people struggling and fighting so hard for the things they think they need, the things they believe will define and complete them, and yet I feel no need to struggle so hard for things that ultimately mean so little.
My hope is that with time, others will see that all we really need to pursue is inner happiness.

John was, is and will always be one of the reasons why I cry. A deep love for him that I can't explain. I don't care about this or that or what people thought of him and what made him happy. All I care is that he existed. What an absolute loss, it still hurts so much. Rest easy, John. We will never forget you and your creations.

Incredible that this man composed “Imagine” & “Jealous Guy” in 1971 and almost ten years later after 5 years of house-husbandry retirement, he gave us this masterpiece statement on enjoying the simple things in life without caring what the outside world thinks. He was a free man. And he shared his newfound freedom with his fans. And then he was gone having left us this beautiful message

A song written by a man who was finally at peace with himself. Imagine what he could have produced had he lived.
