There is a way to see that listeners from all over the world feel the same emotions when listening to Imagine (same thing we can do with other songs like Only People and Mind Games)
I found the following research on the music-emotion-color connection:
"EMOTIONS GIVE COLOR TO MUSIC
Scientists have made sure that the perception of music in humans is connected with the feeling of color, and this connection is provided by emotions common to music and color.There is a definite connection between the perception of music and the feeling of color, researchers from the University of California at Berkeley (USA) assure us, who published an article on this topic in PNAS."

Unlike the study above, I decided to use not a 37-color palette with a choice of one color, but an eight-color model of the Max Luscher test. You can find its online version here, but it does not work correctly. In addition, the colors differ slightly from the original ones - I attached the original picture to this message
https://onlinetestpad.com/en/testview/987-the-luscher-color-test (or you can find another version of the test. But this version is convenient because it forms a link to the sequence of colors that you have chosen and it is convenient to share it to compare the results )
The test is based on the fact that people like different colors in different moods. Therefore, the opposite is also true - the mood can be determined by the preferred colors
I deliberately do not write the results so as not to deprive you of the pleasure of choosing colors while listening to Imagine on your own and independently.
After passing the test, you can copy the link to your result (the copy icon with two sheets) and send the answer in this topic. Then you can compare your results with others.
I note that it is best to listen to music with headphones, not through speakers

"Composer Adam Gerow (Adam Gerow) says that music has a special meaning for him: “The feeling that someone feels the same feelings as you, while listening to the same song, cannot be described in words. At such moments a special connection arises between the musician and the listener.” ( https://sudonull.com/post/24932-How-music-affects-our-emotional-state )
