Imagine is overrated - a single little word spoiled it for me - the little word - you - I wonder if you can...he sang. Never giving away his riches...!

Sorry but all these songs were great but knowing the history behind it, "Mother" is the most moving since his Beatles days with "In my life". That's my opinion but I always get tears in my eyes hearing "Mother" as the pain he felt was so obvious.
I can't just select one favorite, for I've loved many of his songs for so many years now....but 2 that have not been mentioned, but I feel are very special, are "Beautiful Boy" and "Julia," one for his son and the other for his mother.

There are so many to choose from but, for me, it HAS to be.....
WOMAN!!
If that truly is an insight into the deeper, more sensitive elements of a man's feelings (those that he doesn't normally dare to express?) when he really does love a woman....
Let me at him....!!
I asked my fella to send me a music video, one that I would find the ultimate love song and, yep.... HE GOT IT RIGHT!

Please listen and hear the pain inside him if you know his history it will move you, it does me.

Ah well then I will add I am only dreaming, then as that was a song most underrated but although a cover, Lennon Stand By Me still gives me a chill.

Hello ladyphoenix.
Yes he did write Beautiful Boy.
He composed it for his son sean and included it on his last album Double Fantasy just before he was so cruely assasinated in New York in December 1980.
Hope alls well with you.
Warm wishes n blessings for your happiness n good health now n always.

Kittykins: Thanks Deano
Was rained in. . . . so had a quiet relaxing day.
I think by that stage of the Beatles career it was obvious who was writing what.
Gee. . . . listen to the expert! I wasn't even born when they broke up!
Very true it was evident who was writing what but amazes me how Macca still tries to claim stuff that was not his with nobody around to challenge this. I grew up 2 miles from Lennons house and occasionally go past his house and you would not believe the amount of people taking photos on every occasion I pass it.

Hi Kitty.
You had rain too,its been pourin here all day and very dull.
Yes your absolutely right,it was..and i think its such a shame that George didnt get more of a chance to show his talent as a songwriter at the start of their carear because he composed some real good material that i"m sure wouldve been a hit.
I"ve been a beatles and john lennon fan for many years now,i"ve looked into their carears both as part of the band and as seperate artistes,done studies on their music and lives.
Just in case your shiverin in all this cold weather i send you a nice huge warm hug to help keep you warm.
