John Lennon Anthology

When you think about what Lennon said it makes you wonder, “Did he somehow know that he could not make it alone?” That he needed more people to share the dream with. John met Paul McCartney in 1957 at a church function, where Paul impressed John by playing Eddie Cochran’s Twenty Flight Rock. John asked Paul to join the band, which at the time was not called The Beatles but The Quarrymen. Then Paul met George Harrison at an acclaimed grammar school. Paul was impressed with George’s talents and…

Over There I have always been a fan of musicals and the great songs sung on the musical stage or in the Hollywood movies. My one all time favorite musical was about the life of songwriter and composer George M. Cohen who wrote a lot of patriotic song in his time. One of most inspiring and wonderful songs which he wrote during WWI was “Over There”. It was equally inspirational to the young men marching off to war and fighting overseas as it was to everyone who remained on the home-front. On April…

conspiracy suggesting that paul is dead would be found at the end of their song “Strawberry fields forever.” On the left channel of recording, if you listen closely it sounds like John Lennon mumbles “I buried Paul,” but it could also be interpreted as “I am very bored.” Paul McCartney or his look alike, claims that John was saying “cranberry sauce” at that time. Could Paul be trying to hide his true identity? A few more clues people have looked into are, number one: The “Crossing Abbey Road”…

In particular, Paul McCartney and John Lennon were a musical writing dream team that was able to come up with some of the most iconic and timeless songs ever written. The fact that by their late career they were writing all their songs is one detail that not only separated them from other artists…

1969, when a college student claimed that The Beatles had been inserting clues about member Paul McCartney’s death in their last couple albums. One clue the student mentions includes, the cover of Abbey Road which some interpret as a funeral scene. Lennon all in white represents the preacher, Starr’s black clothing represents the mourner McCartney’s bare feet and simple clothing identify him as the corpse, and Harrison, dressed in denim, depicts the grave-digger.…

The song “Yesterday written by Paul McCartney and released by the iconic band The Beatles in 1965 is one of my favorites. It is a slow melodic song, McCartney provides the main vocals. He talks about losing his love not fully understanding why and the aftermath of losing her and how hard love is.. While it’s a fairly short and simple song it has such powerful emotion and beauty. There are some music elements or principles that i noticed in this song. First there is sound the beautiful dynamics…

Heroism within Peace “Imagine all the people living life in peace...” John Lennon portrays a hero due to his powerful voice on peace-activism, being an inspiration to society in regards with his role model-like personality, and having a positive influence on the music industry as whole. John wanted one thing in this world, he wanted the world to live in peace. Considering John’s desire for peace, he became a peace-activist to spread his positive beliefs. He used his iconic music to help…

atheists would hide it, because most people believed in God, but the Beatles did not get that memo. They could not believe how Americans were so fixated about God. In an interview with Maureen Cleave, she asked John a much unexpected question. Her question was about his thoughts on religion. John thought about the question for a few seconds, then came back and answered with “We’re more popular than Jesus now”. This remark did not get noticed much in England, but when the Beatles were about…

The Beatles The Beatles are one of the best artists of all time. Nobody in history of music was as popular as the Beatles. Everyone knows the Beatles. You don 't have to love them, but you do have to respect them. Michael Stipe from REM once said “The Beatles are elevator music.” To which Ringo Starr responded “If it weren 't for the Beatles, REM would still be taking the stairs.” The Beatles are one of the most iconic cultural legacies of the 20th Century and their influence shows itself in…
