John Lennon’s message of peace at Christmas
Рет қаралды 1,743
Күн бұрынHe was the first former Beatle to release a Christmas single after the band broke up, and he found a way to make a Christmas song carry a message of peace and unity without being overly saccharine. But then again, he was John Lennon. Get into the story of how his and Yoko Ono’s 1971 single “Happy XMas (War Is Over)” arrived just in time for Christmas in this episode of the Behind The Song podcast.

If John saw what was happening in the world today, he would be sad. Very very sad.

Doing a Christmas song is good business. It is guaranteed play during the festive season.

A wonderful song, and wonderful analysis! (Yes, glad to see the glasses return. And more subtle camera angle differences. Might need a 20-frame fade between shots)

Lovely show. I’ll never forget hearing it constantly after he was gunned down. That was a very sad Christmas indeed.
