JOHN LENNON

Ok guys, siapa sih yang enggak tahu John Lenon. Dia adalah salah satu tokoh kesukaan gue. Selain lagu-lagunya yang asik-asik and keren abis, dia juga pribadi yang keren. Gue akan bahas sedikit soal John Lennon. Ok lets read...

John Winston Ono Lennon (lahir di Liverpool, Inggris, 9 Oktober 1940 – meninggal di New York City, Amerika Serikat, 8 Desember 1980 pada umur 40 tahun) paling dikenal sebagai penyanyi, pencipta lagu, instrumentalis, penulis, dan aktivis politik yang terkenal di seluruh dunia sebagai pemimpin dari The Beatles. Lennon dan Paul McCartney membentuk partnership pencipta lagu yang paling sukses dan berhasil hingga saat ini. Lennon dengan sinismenya dan McCartney dengan optimismenya melengkapi satu sama lain dengan sangat baik. Setelah bubarnya The Beatles pada tahun 1970, ia juga sukses dengan karier solonya. Salah satu hitsnya yang hingga kini masih sangat terkenal adalah Imagine, lagu yang kemudian menjadi salh satu himne perdamaian dunia.

Lennon juga menunjukkan sifatnya yang pemberontak dan selera humornya yang sinis dalam film-film seperti A Hard Day's Night (1964), dalam buku yang ditulisnya seperti In His Own Write, konferensi pers dan wawancara. Ia menggunakan kepopulerannya untuk kegiatannya sebagai aktivis perdamaian, seniman dan penulis.

Lennon dua kali menikah, yaitu dengan Cynthia Powell pada tahun 1962 dan seniman Jepang, Yoko Ono pada tahun 1969. Ia memiliki dua orang anak, Julian Lennon (lahir tahun 1963) dan Sean Taro Ono Lennon (lahir tahun 1975). Ia meninggal di New York pada usia 40 tahun, ditembak oleh Mark Chapman, penggemarnya yang gila.

Dan ini adalah beberapa lirik lagu dari John Lennon yang keren buat gue...

 "Imagine"

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one 

STARTING OVER

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Everyday we used to make it love
Why can't we be making love nice and easy
It's time to spread our wings and fly
Don't let another day go by my love
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Why don't we take off alone
Take a trip somewhere far, far away
We'll be together all alone again
Like we used to in the early days
Well, well, well darling

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere
Starting over 

JEALOUS GUY
(John Lennon)

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy, watch out
I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe
I'm just a jealous guy 


MOTHER
(John Lennon)
Mother, you had me, but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Father, you left me, but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye

Mama don't go
Daddy come home
(repeat) 

 Hey jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

And anytime you feel the pain, hey jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.

Hey jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

So let it out and let it in, hey jude, begin,
Youre waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.

Hey jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.

Na na na na na ,na na na, hey jude...

Ok, segitu aja ya liriknya.... semoga bermanfaat
