Real Love (John Lennon cover)

This is an amazing cover- when I listen to it, I tear up. It's that good.

However, I must comment that there's a mistake with the above lyrics - she is saying "it's real love", not "it's you I love".

This is one of my favorite John Lennon songs. I don't really acknowledge the “Beatles” version. With all due respect, it was a fascinating and sentimental peculiarity, but not a real Beatles song. This Regina Spektor rendition is the only true and complete version, as John sadly did not have the opportunity to do a finished recording.

This song is about the happiness of finding true love. It's about more than just being in a semi-functional relationship. It's about finding a soulmate. That's why he/she says:

“Thought I'd been in love before but in my heart I wanted more seems like all I really was doing was waiting for you”

They've found the one person that they were always longing to be with. The person they were made for. Of course such a thing may not actually exist, but it's a nice thought for someone to be in such a positive relationship that they feel perfectly compatible together.

I understand what John meant when he wrote:

“From this moment on I know exactly where my life will go seems that all I really was doing was waiting for love...”

It's the security a person would feel from knowing they've found THE ONE. They know their future is going to be planned around the person they love, and they can just imagine being together forever.

I don't generally like most John Lennon covers, but I love this one. I'm glad Regina did such a respectable job on this.

Nice cover...This song is on Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur ..everyone needs to check this cd out.

i cant download this song anywhere. i heard it on triple j's ''like a version" and love it !

these are the correct lyrics:

all my little plans and schemes lost like some forgotten dreams seems that all i really was doing was waiting for you

just like little girls and boys playing with their little toys seems like all they really were doing was waiting for love

don't need to be alone no need to be alone it's real love yes, it's real love oh, it's real love yes, it's real love

from this moment on i know exactly where my life will go seems that all i really was doing was waiting for love...

don't need to be afraid no need to be afraid it's real love yes, it's real love oh, it's real love yes, it's real love

thought i'd been in love before but in my heart i wanted more seems like all i really was doing was waiting for you

don't need to be alone no need to be alone it's real love yes, it's real love oh, it's real love yes, it's real love

oh, it's real love yes, it's real love oh, it's real love yes, it's real love

oh, it's real love yes, it's real love oh, it's real love yes, it's real love...

ah, i love this song. it's a perfect cover, in my opinion:)

I love her cover of this. Its absoloutley beautiful with the piano.

Hey dietcocaine -- you can get it for 89 cents from Rhapsody and it's money for a good cause.

Her voice sounds incredible at the beginning, it gets you so hooked on the song. And then you hear the rest, and you wish you'd found it sooner. One of the best covers Ive ever heard.

I love her cover of this song! Does anyone know her piano sheet music to this, not John Lennon's??? I wanna play it!! :)

lfkgjlsdfkj. this song is real love. :)

i think its about the love in the world. and how people are waiting for a person to make even more love in the world, and peace.
