I greatly admire this unique and varied arrangement of “Imagine” performed by Nobuyuki Mizuoka on a Kawai upright piano at Minatomirai Cross Patio in Yokohama, Japan on 7 January 2014.

“Imagine” — Words and music by John Lennon
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy, if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one.
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one…
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one.
