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.

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 It's a mark of his talent that he could use the same melody and come up with two sets of lyrics, both of which are profound and emotional and evoke very different meanings.

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.
