However, this "Imagine" is very simple, from composition to arrangement to lyrics, all reflect minimalism, Lin Xuan just sits quietly in front of the piano and plays, telling people the beautiful world in their hearts without hurry.
So why is this song moving?
Because this song writes what people need in a very clean way, full of genius-like perception and appeal.
The song has a very innocent feel to it, and it is described with a child's brushstroke.
Yes, John Lennon sometimes feels like a dreaming child.
The song begins with a bold depiction of a world without religion and a country, challenging people's preconceived notions.
From a rational point of view, everything seems so unrealistic, but the name of this song already gives the answer, the song is called "Imagine", and it is like fantasy in itself.
Since it's a fantasy, why don't we be bold and vent the sensibilities in our hearts.
……
Lin Xuan opened his eyes, tilted his head slightly, looked at the audience, nodded slightly at them, and sang while playing the piano:
【you may say that I'm a dreamer
You might think I'm dreaming
But I'm not the only one who thinks so
Hopefully, one day, you will join us too
There are no more divided countries and opposing camps in this world]

【imagine no possessions
Imagine that everyone has no property
May I?
There will be no more innumerable greedy and hungry people
Everyone is like brothers and sisters
Imagine that
To be able to peacefully share the resources of this world]
The lyrics describe the ultimate communism in the imagination, which is unrealistic, but everything is so beautiful when you think about it.
