Tribal People React to John Lennon's IMAGINE For The First Time

Points left out after editing these sessions: They know what John meant by those lines about religion, I shared what I learnt from one of John's interviews in which he said he means Imagine no such things that divide us all based on religion. I didn't mean to tell them what the song is about but rather what they think of the lyrics themselves. Muharam has come a long way, we all can agree on what he said about Yoko putting out those blinds. I'm so glad I didn't only told them how to paint but also how to think as an artist. As Ustad Bob Ross would say, this is your own world and you can chose what goes into it, IMAGINE. Peace ya'll 🙂

Thank you for your video. I think it´s important to know Lennon was not against religion, he himself was a spiritual person and explored religions such as Buddhism. In this song I believe he´s expressing frustration with things that divides human beings (money, nationalism, religion), and all the violence it causes. So he´s saying imagine if non of that existed, could we live in peace then? Of course he understood there actually can´t be a world without money, nations and religion, but if we only imagine it for a few minutes, then maybe we can focus on what unites us human beings instead of what divides us. It´s a song for peace. That´s my interpretation of what he´s saying.

“There was a band from England that lasted a long time and had four members in it” must be the most understated description of the Beatles ever 😂😂😂

This is such a thoughtful and respectful discussion. I wish the internet could be like this, where we can disagree with each other respectfully, while still recognizing we are all human and deserve basic respect and love as human beings, and that we are all entitled to what works best for us without bothering anyone else.

What a lovely discussion about this song! Even if they didn’t agree with every line, they were so polite and respectful about the things they disagreed with. And everyone got on board with the main message of peace and unity. I’m sure John Lennon would be so happy to see this happen! 🤍

Imagine is about constructs that divide us. People have killed because of country, people have killed because of religion. If the things dividing us are removed we have peace, a beautiful thing. I appreciate the thoughtful discussion in the video.

Salam to our Brothers in Pakistan. Thank you for being tolerant and open minded. If half the world had your integrity and common sense we would all be much better off.

John Lennon was 5 years old when the Second World War ended, he seen the devastation of bombs dropping from the sky seen soldiers returning crippled physically and mentally. As did most rock groups from the 1960s

I think it’s wonderful that a John Lennon song generates such dialogue amongst people that stay calm and thoughtful

My Dad remembers exactly where he was when he had heard John Lennon passed away. He was 19, almost twenty working in a hardware store. When he heard the news he started crying and his boss was making fun of him for it. Even though we aren't close, music is something that can help us have a pleasant conversation. I think they hit the nail on the head there, we shouldn't take someone's thoughts to personally. Granted if they are saying actual mean cruel things but if their words don't speak about cruelty and hurt, we shouls just listen and then decide for ourselves what we want to do with what we learn.

IMAGINE is an amazing song. John Lennon was ahead of his time. Thank you for playing this song and for sharing your reaction/discussion with all of us. Words of wisdom translate to all languages. #NotMeUs I love each and every one of you! ✌🏽☮💗

These men are amazing! I love watching them. They are so inquisitive and genuinely honest. Thank you for doing this.

the world is my country, all mankind r my bredrin and to do good is my religion. love this quote

You think john didn't die at a young age until you reach 40 yourself

He says no religion, because religion divides, as it was designed to do. The Heart requires no church, no one else's standards...the heart and soul require the Divine WITHIN.... That doesn't require anyone elses words, or buildings...Divine Source is within, and if all lived that way, there'd be no separation, and no division. That's what he meant by that verse.

"The most beautiful thing in the world is simplicity and it is very much appreciated almost everywhere" Wow. Love that line. Lennon never says there is no God. He says Imagine there isn't. part of understanding someone else's view is to stand in their shoes - to "imagine" what it's like to be them with their views. You don't have to have their views - just understand them and accept them. "Imagine no religion" can also mean imagine there is only one religion so people have no reason to fight over their beliefs. Same result. Most of the imagining in this song is imagining there is no reason to fight and only reason to love ALL your brothers and sisters. No country, no possessions, no religion, no hunger. Most beautiful lyrics ever for me. Love you guys. Especially the oldest gentleman, sorry don't know his name. God, I would like to meet him.

I really love the gentleman with the glasses. I love the way he tend to think ''outside the box''.

May these Gentlemen's God bless them all & keep them safe, they perfectly understand Johns peaceful message even though not fully agreeing with some of it. If only our leaders and politicians watched and learned from these individuals.

I love how the men understand the gist of the Imagine video (Yoko letting light into the room and into John's heart) without understanding the lyrics ❤ John's key message in this song was that it's wrong for ppl to kill in the name of religion, and how much better the world would be if we lived in harmony 😊

Thank you for sharing this song. This is my favourite song and I wish every human could hear it. This was a great video and I appreciate everyone's opinion on it. ❤
