It was at a Methodist Church in Atlanta and people thought the song was an odd choice, mostly because of the opening lyric: “Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us, only sky.”
But it is one of the couple’s favourite songs.
There is a video from 2017 of Georgia Tech students singing it to the Carters when they were given the Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Change.
We also came across this quote from Jimmy. “In many countries around the world . . . my wife and I have visited about 125 countries . . . you hear John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’ used almost equally with national anthems.”
It’s fair to think that Jimmy or a family member requested the song . . . or that Trisha and Garth knew it was special to them. They’re longtime friends.
