More To Know About John Lennon: How His Peaceful Songs Were Made.
3214 Kippei Sakiyama
John Lennon was a famous musician and a peace activist. Of course I have known his name and some of his songs, but now, I will get myself to know more about him.
As you know, John Lennon was known as a singer and songwriter of the British rock band The Beatles. He created many songs that insist on peace. Almost every people all over the world knows and has heard his songs about peace, such as “Imagine” and “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)”. But, do you know which part of him does these songs come from?
Where does these songs come from? The answer can be written in a simple way. That comes from one part of him; he had received ‘Primal Therapy’, which is defined as ‘a form of psychotherapy in which the patient is encouraged to relive traumatic events, often screaming or crying, in order to achieve catharsis and a breakdown of psychological defenses. Then, what kind of events did he relive?
He was born in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, and on October 09, 1940. His birth was naturally welcomed. But when he became a teenager, he had already experienced a child neglect. His father was a sailor and seldom came back to home, while his mother did only what she wanted to do. He had no parent that took care of him. That was a big suffering for him.
When John just remembered this experience with Primal Therapy, he suddenly began shouting, rather than crying. That was a sunny day, in 1970.
Judging from his songs in 1960s, he did make many songs that is surely a kind of arts, but looks so crazy; “I Am The Walrus”(1967) is one of the most unmeaningful songs in the world. These songs are often regarded as ‘heroin songs’
But after the therapy, the genius musician began to think many deep difficult things, as we ordinary people cannot understand. He thought mainly about how his experiences could make the world better, or how to insist on peace in a simple way. His thinking made a great difference. We know that his peaceful songs claim “There is no meaningful argue caused by countries, religion, reputation and so on,” “There is no difference between us: rich or poor, black or white,” Surprisingly, actually both “Imagine” and “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)” were released just after the therapy, in 1971.
John Lennon, one of the most famous and greatest musicians on the history of the world, by having remembered his painful experiences and tried to take the little advantage, sang for peace.
