It's Real Love
Real Love
John Lennon
Around 1997 shortly before his death, John Lennon recorded a basic demo of this song in his apartment in New York. In 1995 Paul, George and Ringo completed the song and it was included in the Beatles Anthology:
All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real
Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...
( Lyrics from http://www.oldielyrics.com/j/john_lennon.html )
Don’t we all at our deepest level want to find real love? Tonight I was talking with a friend that hosts a chat room in Yahoo chat rooms. He’s been doing it every day since 2000. He’s seen hundreds of people come into his chat room. Some stick around for a few months and get to know everyone and some only visit once. But one thing that my friend discovered is that everyone is looking for something. By his comments about these chatters, it seems that they all have this in common, that they all want real love. They are looking for love. To be loved and accepted is what we’ve been waiting for. And in this chat room, at least for a while, they find someone to talk to.
John Lennon sang, “Don’t have to be alone. No need to be alone.” This is true. With so many billions of people in this world, how could anyone feel alone? Everywhere we turn we are surrounded by people. Yet many people feel alone, like something is missing. I think this is something we can all change. There really is no need to be alone if it’s real love.
