Interview
The version of Imagine included in the album gained attention for adding Yoko Ono into the credit as well as John Lennon. Regarding the release, Yoko said, “I was afraid of renewing this song. Tom (Tomas Bartlet, a producer) was also a little bit afraid, I think. People all over the world know this song. However, I decided to carry out because it matches the theme of the album.” “The world is far too confused. For anyone, things have been so difficult. We are living in the war zone now… I like creation with the new way, because things are changing every day.”[1]
