• "Across the Universe" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney  --  GuitarTab&0021; - Beatles - (ACROSS THE UNIVERSE TAB) - There's excellent piano-sheet music for this song in The Beatles Best sheet-music book (ISBN 0-88188-598-3, (c) 1987 Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation).
  .......You can learn a lot about keyboard- or piano-music playing from this one song. Like it has a good range of notes on both the treble and bass clefs, so you can begin learning the notes on both fairly easy. And like it's in the key of D which has 2 sharps (2 black keys, F# and C#;  d,  e,f#,  g,a,  b,c#,  d), so you can learn how to play using the black keys.
  .......If you're a real beginner, beginner to music in general and really want to learn, and don't have access to a keyboard, it would most probably be a brilliant idea to not begin learning music on guitar. Perhaps you could get the sheet music for this song. Look over it the best you can. Keep going over and over it. And practice wherever and whenever you come across a keyboard or piano.
  .......And you can begin learning the lyrics inside and out, even if you don't ever plan on reciting or singing them out loud, which will help you more than a lot with the many 16th notes and rhythm.
  .......Remember, if you're going to buy a keyboard -
  (1) It should have at least 61 keys (2 octaves below middle C! and 3 octaves above middle C, with 6 C keys not 5). Most modern pianos have 88 keys. A "Bösendorfer 290 "Imperial" has 97 keys", Wikipedia Encyclopedia.
  (2) The size of the keys matter too, full size usually for adults. "Full size keys usually have an octave of 164-165 mm (like from the bottom of a C note up to the top of a B note, the bottom of a C note up to the top of a C note is nearly 19 cm). Full size or not, on a piano an octave can be somewhat more to much less than this.", Wikipedia Encyclopedia.
  (3) It really should have touch response, which means it can sound like a piano by allowing the keys to sound softer or louder by how hard you press them.
  
  (4) You can buy seperately inexpensive earphones (so you can hear other things), and maybe a headphone adapter (small extra plug that inexpensive earphone plug can plug into).
  (5) To help keep time, you can buy an electronic metronome seperately that runs on batteries (helps with 16th notes).
  (6) You can buy seperately an electronic foot pedal or pedals, like the right foot pedal on a piano (good for "Across the Universe") or all 3 foot pedals. (The right one while depressed has all keys pressed afterwards still sounding after taking your fingers off the keys. The middle foot pedal does the same only for certain keys below middle C. The left pedal dulls all notes pressed.)
• "Imagine" by John Lennon  --  GuitarTab! - Lennon John - (IMAGINE TAB)
• Dark City - is a movie where all the people in a 1940's-like city fall asleep every time the clock strikes 12:00. At that time the city changes dramatically--buildings rising up out of the ground and all.
  .......It's always nighttime, yet the people don't realize this. The city is floating in space, yet the people don't know this. Their minds are being swapped between them for an experiment. If the doctor puts a syringe to the forehead of someone while their asleep, then that body will wake up with the mind more-or-less from someone else in the city.
  .......The people of the city don't remember things. Like everyone doesn't know how to get to Shell Beach. They think they do until asked how to get there. Then they realize they don't really remember exactly how to get there or something. Shell Beach doesn't exist, at least there, except within their minds, or like in paintings on billboards on the sides of the roads.
