I know this is kind of an old topic but I know of a couple other tribute songs to John Lennon. "Dear John" by Styx"John Lennon is Watching Me and You" by The Back PackThe "Dear John" is a video on YouTube. It's a great song and video. It's like a cartoon. First it's of Paul, then Ringo, then George. It's great. "John Lennon is Watching Me and You" is a very up-beat and not a sad song. The Back Pack incorporate a lot of John Lennon songs in the lyrics. If you don't like sad songs about John, this one is really good. The song is on their Grey Album. A little spoof of The Beatles' White Album

Thanks Aurora. I had never heard those before.
There's also the "Crying For John Lennon" song by Hargo that you used in the tribute video you made.

I found the lyrics here. But you can't copy and paste them so I typed them. Sorry it's so long... In the night Between the screams And gunfights I hear a sound I hear a word It feels right Speaks of joy And of love As mans right With this hate All around It seems so out of sight I'm crying for John Lennon I'm crying for his dream I'm crying for John Lennon And for what might have been I'm crying for John Lennon And for this world I see I'm crying for John Lennon For we've forgotten peace So we tried We say we've tried In vain it seems To change the world And everyone But ourselves you see Tell me why Are we surprised At the state of things When it's time to do it We just shut out the light I'm trying for John Lennon I'm crying for his dream I'm crying for John Lennon And for what might have been I'm crying for John Lennon And for this world I see I'm crying for John Lennon For we've forgotten peace How are we gonna see The way out When it seems that we Don't believe There's a way out Gotta try something Try anything To get there somehow It's not a dream It's not a dream Take a walk On this road With me now All your things And your pride Set em' down Where we'll go Don't you know It doesn't matter now Now let's Come together Come on, give peace a chance I'm trying for John Lennon I'm trying for his dream I'm crying for John Lennon And for what should have been I'm trying for John Lennon And for this world I see I'm trying for John Lennon To give this world some peace Crying for John Lennon - Hargo

Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny) – Elton John and Here Today – Paul always make me cry. There’s a Cuban singer, name Silvio Rodriguez who mention him in one oh his songs. The song name is "Cita con Angeles" (Date with Angels) and is a song about how the guardian angels of some great persons in history tried to get to save them from death but couldn't get there on time. He mentioned Martin Luther King, The victims of Hiroshima and other humanitarians and human rights fighters. One strophe of the song is dedicated to John and it says something like this: "El ángel pasa bajo un puente, después rodea un rascacielos. Parque Central, lleno de gente, no se da cuenta de su vuelo. Cuánta utopía será rota y cuánto de imaginación cuando a la puerta del Dakota las balas derriben a John.” ” The angel goes under a bridge. Then he surrounds a skyscraper. Central park, is full of the people, But, they don’t realize his flight. How many utopia will be broken and how much of imagination when at the door of the Dakota the bullets knock down John.” At the end of the strophe a chorus of people sing in the background “She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah” like a whisper. This is the video link for those of you who speak Spanish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtKDxQPCG1s

I had tried to find the lyrics but couldn't find them anywhere. No problem. ;D I never understood some words before I read the lyrics. It's a pretty "deep" song. I love it.
