他在中槍之前曾經說過他已經體驗過他的人生，在踏入四十歲的時候，他會為那些曾經瘋狂過但後來安定下來的人創作歌曲。他創作了很多發人深醒的歌曲，包括 “Woman”, “Stand by me”, “Starting over” 和 “beautiful boy”。
記錄片“LennonNYC”在2010年上映，它記錄了約翰連儂與他的一生最愛小野洋子走過的人生路。
John Lennon- a legend
He once said before he was shot that he had lived his time and on turning into 40, he would like to make music for those who had lived through the days of wildness and had come to terms of settling down. He sang those songs for their listening. His great self wakening pieces included woman, stand by me, starting over and beautiful boy. He also produced the famously known song, “imagine” which is included in many of the most influential and greatest-songs-of-all-time lists.
The documentary by the name of “LennoNYC” produced in 2010 was a full recount of the path he walked in life along with the woman he endeared the most, Yoko Ono.
