John Lennon’s legacy through the eyes of 4 local music artists

“I was introduced to The Beatles by my father, and I believe the first few songs that caught my attention was ‘We Can Work It’ and ‘In My Life,’” said Karl Ramirez, singer-composer and music producer for Pordalab band, whose songs seek to inspire people to love and care more for others.

Novales described “Imagine” as a Lennon masterpiece which had every kind of follower pinned on requesting it. “Today, we see too many wars in different parts of the globe, and the dream of realizing this is far from fruition, but we are always reminded that war only brings destruction and will bear more conflicts. In war, there are no winners. This song encouraged me to write my own song about peace,” he said.

In one of his last interviews for Rolling Stone magazine, Lennon said: “‘Woman’ came about because, one sunny afternoon in Bermuda, it suddenly hit me what women do for us. Not just what my Yoko does for me, although I was thinking in those personal terms … but any truth is universal.” Ramirez added that Lennon has shown us that music can be a tool for unity and for getting the message across. “Lennon has also pushed for musicians to speak up for women. We have a song dedicated to upholding women’s rights, titled ‘Kalahati ng Mundo’ .”

Reminder Sony wanted Michael Jackson dead or ruined because he owned the Beatles catalogue.
