제가 바로 전에 올린 posting이 의도한바는 아니지만 결국 ‘종교’문제로 흘러버렸네요.

1970년 John Lennon에 의해 이 앨범이 release되고 나서 10번 track에 있는 ‘God’으로인해 많은 사회적이슈를 만들었다고 하더군요. 대중음악에서 그것도 가장 영향력이 있었던 musician이 atheism을 지지해서였을 겁니다. 이 노래에서 John나름대로 God에 대해서 정의를 내리지만 어떤 인터뷰에서는 “If there is a God we all it”이라는 말도 했던걸로 기억합니다.

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
