and i'm very happy to see that john helped not only me......"My role is society [...] is to express what we all feel" I think John did a great job of expressing all our feelings and emotions. His words and music mean so much more to me than any other musician (or other famous person).

he admitted having faults and often spoke about them in interviews and in his song lyrics. That's one of the reasons I admire him so much.
I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
I've got a chip on my shoulder that's bigger than my feet, I Can't talk to people that I meetThere are not many songwriters who have as much honesty in their lyrics as John (and i can think of lots of other examples). That's one of the things I love about him too. Excuse me, but in which songs are these phrases?

The first one is from "Getting Better" (on Sgt Pepper) and the second one is "I'll Cry Instead" (on the A Hard Day's Night album).

But, getting better was written by paul, wasn't it?

Yes it was, but I think that cruel part was written by John.

Yes, John wrote the lines "I used to be cruel to my woman I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved; Man, I was mean but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can."

I usually get sad 'cause I don't feel like I fit with most of the people around me, that they don't understand me, etc. Well, when I listen to his songs I feel like I'm not the only one that feels/felt the same way and it actually helps.

John helps me in so many ways. Whatever I'm feeling, I just listen to the Beatles and it makes me feel better. I don't like to think about what happened to John because that was so sad.

You said it. He was so honest in his songs. He laid it all bare. You can connect to this.

John just makes me happy when I'm depressed, it's hard to explain how I feel. If I listen to songs such as Imagine and Happy Christmas(War Is Over), I'll get more depressed. So when I'm already depressed for one reason or the other, I try to listen to his faster songs such as New York City.

Ok, the other night I had a stomach ache for a little while and just thinking about John made me feel better.
