Written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono

"All we are saying is give peace a chance" - The song was written by John & Yoko during their weeklong 'BED-IN' advertising campaign for Peace, held in Montreal, Canada in 1969. The film features the original 31 May 1969 recording of 'Give Peace A Chance' and includes John & Yoko appearing at the National Peace Rally in Bryant Park, New York on 22 April 1972 plus additional protest footage from the era. It concludes with the hundreds of thousands of shocked fans who, after John's sudden death, gathered for simultaneous vigils in Liverpool, London, New York and all around the world on 14 December 1980, to sing "Give Peace A Chance" and remember John.

[MonadoJoJo]

Oh John, if you could be here now... This song is just as powerful and moving today as it was for you some years ago, even just within the past few hours.

[crystalcomedy]

Don't care if your republican or Democrat you are human, and to harm a human life is wrong, we can't for get that. Peace and love

[TheHumbleLOUD]

John Lennon literally spitting bars and then singing one of the smoothest most powerful hooks ever written

[APissedBird]

If Lennon was here today, he would likely lead a peace movement twice the size of his in Vietnam in the 70's and late 60's. He would be singing his heart out. The world needs a man like Lennon again. It wouldn't be about the music, or the love, or whatever else; it would be for peace. With the world so set on tearing itself apart, I think a man like him trying to keep it all together would sound pretty nice right about now.

[Ahmiseysoh]

Still shouting for world leace in 2024. John Lennon's voice is still strong.

[mitch]

As soon as he sang ‘Give peace a chance’, the writing was on the wall. John was not perfect but he was the most honest artist on the planet when he lived with us. We love you John. We miss you.

[kristina]

Thank you to all the European radio stations who played this song at 8:45 this morning. That gave me hope again for solidarity, empathy and peace for all people on this earth. May we raise our children more relational and loving with respect for the world ☮️💜🌍🕊️

[dorothybarlow]

Let this ring out all over the world 🌎

[IncubusOfDeath]

He was the best. There will never be another John Lennon.

[martinjordan]

An iconic song. War brings nothing, let’s all live in peace

[paulknight]

He is basically taking down every prevailing narrative in society ("ev'rybody's talking about") and replacing it with a narrative about peace – In a single song. Brilliant guy. Very intelligent.

[jensbade]

Eines meiner Lieblingslieder. ❤ Die Botschaft dieses Songs ist aktueller denn je! Nehmt sie mit in die Träume. Damit wir nie vergessen, was wir tun müssen, um das höchste Gut der Menschheit zu erringen und zu bewahren!!! ✊🏻

[barbarasheats]

There will never be another one quite like John Lennon. He was very much ahead of his time. Give Peace A Chance.

[relo]

this song should now be played daily on the radio, let all presidents and ministers hear it

[ricje]

The world in 2023, definitely needs John Lennon again.

[veronikakastrinakis]

The world in 2024, definitely needs John Lennon again.

[jinora]

We listened to this at school and I was about to cry so badly 😅 It's so personal to me, since I escaped the war in Syria and it breaks my heart to see the world not giving peace a chance 💔

[ThePaco]

There is no doubt that today more than ever we desire peace on this earth

[noelk]

Happy Birthday John! Wish you still here to remind the world to give peace a chance. Imagine!

[paulkersey]

If John was here today, he would lead the largest protest and play this to the world.
How we need you and your message today more than ever.
