He said he'd never sing this publicly unless it was the end of the world - or the world was in strong need of a message of hope. From Julian Lennon (John's son), for the people of Ukraine especially.

Julian Lennon Performs 'IMAGINE' for Global Citizen's Stand Up For Ukraine w/Nuno Bettencourt

“The War on Ukraine is an unimaginable tragedy... As a human, and as an artist, I felt compelled to respond in the most significant way I could.
So today, for the first time ever, I publicly performed my Dad’s song, IMAGINE.
Why now, after all these years? - I had always said, that the only time I would ever consider singing ‘IMAGINE' would be if it was the ‘End of the World’…
But also because his lyrics reflect our collective desire for peace worldwide. Because within this song, we’re transported to a space, where love and togetherness become our reality, if but for a moment in time…
The song reflects the light at the end of the tunnel, that we are all hoping for...
As a result of the ongoing murderous violence, millions of innocent families, have been forced to leave the comfort of their homes, to seek asylum elsewhere.
I’m calling on world leaders and everyone who believes in the sentiment of IMAGINE, to stand up for refugees everywhere! Please advocate and donate from the heart. #StandUpForUkraine
—Julian Lennon

imagine if we gave the same education, and same special attention to those who fall behind, to birds and other animals, as we do for human children.

i think certainly a lot of parots, corvids, dogs, monkeys and some rodents/squirrels/ferrets etc would do well...

ps, was thinking earlier how wonderful it would be to have all manufacturers/designers/makers/builders/etc educated in all the things their creations have effects upon, like human physiology, biology, psychology, etc, for a start. so, maybe even better education, rather than the same, as we have now, or rather as we had... i hear some places no longer even teach children how to write. ... we could all be polymaths in the making, not slaves in training. nor consumer cash cows in de-braining.

#Imagine all the good that the tech industry and venture #capital could do if they just had different shared visions of what the #future looked like. What if, instead of space travel and virtual worlds, our tech billionaires had been raised on exciting stories of a future with fast, efficient mass transit or a living wage for all workers? What would it be like if other social goals were afforded the same leeway and endless #hype cycles we give to #VR?
