"Imagine the Swan" is a song by the British rock band the Zombies, released as a single in May 1969. It was written by keyboard player Rod Argent and bass player Chris White. It was recorded following the unexpected success of "Time of the Season" and intended for a Zombies album following Odessey and Oracle that went unreleased at the time.
In 1968, Rod Argent and Chris White began working on material for a possible new band when they were approached by CBS to do another Zombies album. "Imagine the Swan" was one of many new songs recorded with a lineup of Argent, Hugh Grundy, Jim Rodford (bass) and Rick Birkett (guitar).
An album's worth of material, tentatively entitled R.I.P. was recorded, but remained unreleased at the time. It was first released in Japan in October 2000 by Imperial Records.
