Will you still love me when I'm an incredibly humungoid giant star?
Will you still love me when I'm in my hanging-out-with-Ravi-shankar phase?
Will you still love me when I'm in my carbohydrate, sequined-jumpsuit, young-girls-in-white-cotton-panties, waking-up-in-a-pool-of-your-own-vomit, bloated-purple-dead-on-a-toilet phase?

It's fine. You'll hate his voice on the opening verse. He settles into it, though by the end. Breathy as expected. The star is the audience singing along. I know it's Imagine. But I was actually more moved than I expected to be.

Despite the multitude of reasons that releasing this in this fashion makes practically zero sense, I really enjoyed that.
One of the better solo Ed moments that I can remember (granted, i don't remember that many).
This will certainly get multiple listens from me.

I'll put the over/under on the percentage of fan club members who buy it anyways at 45. There's gotta be multiple threads over there titled "Who will join me in supporting this great cause by purchasing Imagine on iTunes at midnight on Monday?"
