En 1970 John Lennon publicaba su primer álbum en solitario tras la separación de los Beatles a finales de 1969. Este primer álbum lleva por título John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band y contiene el tema que encabeza este post, el mítico God. Esta canción es famosa por el estribillo en el que Lennon dice que no cree en una serie de personajes y cosas históricas, entre ellos los propios Beatles o la Biblia. Al final del estribillo acaba diciendo que sólo cree en Yoko y en él. Digamos que Mr. Lennon no tuvo ningún problema en escribir una letra un tanto controvertida, pero eso era algo que le caracterizaba, que no tenía miedo de decir lo que pensaba y así lo hizo.
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over
By which we measure
Our pain
I'll say it again
God is a concept
By which we measure
Our pain
I don't believe in magic
I don't believe in I-ching
I don't believe in Bible
I don't believe in tarot
I don't believe in Hitler
I don't believe in Jesus
I don't believe in Kennedy
I don't believe in Buddha
I don't believe in Mantra
I don't believe in Gita
I don't believe in Yoga
I don't believe in kings
I don't believe in Elvis
I don't believe in Zimmerman
I don't believe in Beatles
I just believe in me
Yoko and me
And that's reality
The dream is over
What can I say?
The dream is over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
And so dear friends
You'll just have to carry on
The dream is over

Este tema es inmenso. Siempre consiguió ponerme los pelos de punta por como expone de forma frontal algo que muchos evitan pensar.
El piano simplemente impresionante.
Totalmente de acuerdo Milhaud, el piano es sublime!
