Offline I don’t want to sound rude or grumpy or whatever but if you are going to derail a thread why don’t you just keep the conversation in the “imposible to derail…” thread with a link pointing to the thread you are about to derail instead of just saying “i don’t want to derail this thread but…” and going on derailing for 6 posts?…it’s kinda annoying …
Besides all this… what a beautiful song this is.

Offline I wish this had been released as Child Of Nature with the Beatles. Would have gone well on The White Album with the likes of Dear Prudence and Blackbird IMO. I also like it as Jealous Guy , though, so I wouldn’t complain with both.
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

You should, it’s really great. But I agree, Jealous Guy is so good with the rest of Imagine .

Right, I’ll let you know if I ever find it. 
Good song, but I prefer Jealous Guy .
Also, if this was on the White Album we wouldn’t have Mother Nature’s Son and that would be a disaster!

I don’t dislike Child Of Nature , but I’m glad John waited and used the Jealous Guy lyrics. Some of his most honest and powerful.

Offline There is a really cool fan creation out there where the vocal from ‘Child Of Nature ‘ has been matched seamlessly to the commercially released backing track. Quite something.
