Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Beatles

[SuperLiftRick]

Far beyond their time they were......God rest those fallen band members and God rest them ALL when they part this life. Thank you for creating and leaving this beautiful music....YOU FOUR ARE ALL MUSICAL ICONS WITH OUT A DOUBT.

[drubesrubio]

I like how they wrote this song based from an art picture, it's just very creative taking visual art and putting into musical form

[oldiferente]

Definitely "L"ucy in the "S"ky with "D"iamonds

[Renindoor]

Lucy

Sky

Diamonds

LSD hmmm...

[antstep1030]

[kenzieman12]

[prophetoftruthful]

[miketheunreg]

hahaha wow im pretty sure you give some one acid and tell them to say what there seeing that they can make a song just like this.

[reaney1977]

picture yourself in a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skys

[Anubiarack]

Lucy in Sky with diamonds = something that johns kid said and then he whrot this song . and it's random that it's said to mean lsd and they found out of that after he whrot the song xD

[wolf1234link]

@Anubiarack also true it was based on a drawing his son drew of a girl in his class named lucy O'donnel might i add may she RIP along with the beatles but frankly the dude who shot one of the beatles should like RIH because hes a MFCSPOS message me if u want to know meaning

[chucrazy213]

[JeffreyGarrison]

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds = LSD (:

[hendog213]

Lucy O'Donnell Vodden (1963 - 22 September 2009) was the inspiration for the song. She was born in Weybridge, Surrey, in 1963. She was a classmate of Julian Lennon, son of John Lennon, at Heath House School. Julian Lennon drew a picture of O'Donnell in 1966 and took it to his father, explaining to him that the picture he drew was, "Thats Lucy in the sky with diamonds."] The quote became the legend for the origin of the song.

[Jay500500500]

rockinghorse people eat marshmellow pies. lmao

[GIButmag]

around 1:40 it sounds like he says "Newspaper taxis and beer on the shore, waiting to take you away..."

[Sualluas]

i think thats wat they actually say

[kinloprules]

yup lol

[ruddyy123]

it does dont it ??/lol

[Yurividal]

@GIButmag i can hear it too, and the part that says "that grow so incredbly high" i understand "that girl is so incredibly high"

[AngelBunny2133]

jhon's son brought home a drawing of a girl in his class her name was lucy and she was in the sky with diamonds, so jhn took that picture got high and made a song

[shadowassassen]

@angelbunny2133 thank you that is the real reason they made this song so there you have it

[CHAMPprods]

Lucy Sky Diamonds.... LSD

[shanked808]

thank you Captain Obvious....

[DJDROPBASS]

look the beatles were very very psychedelic before they did acid aswell listen to rubber soul they didnt do acid till l8r tht year plus they made 20 + full albums and they only did acid every once in a while so obviously its not all about drugs partially agreed but they were about music ,love, and peace thts what they want to be remembered for

[playdo]

strange that this song is apparently NOT about acid, cos the video sure reminds me of trippin!

[GingaPlayer2]

what's the issue if it is about drugs or not.. just enjoy the music

[GingaPlayer2]

plus John always said he disliked how people were always into the lyrics and trying to search for a meaning in every word instead of just listening and enjoying. that's why he says most of his lyrics are very confusing so that he can just make fun of those who argue like you

[justkidding72]

@GingaPlayer2 THANK YOU! lol

[dullsvillain]

Legalize Spiritual Discovery

[tickcowtock]

@johnnyshroom221

the beatles ARE the best band ever.

[PraiseDivineMercy]

To the folks who are arguing: The most likely explanation is that it was indeed inspired by the picture--and the fact that he was high when he first saw it.

[johnnyshroom221]

the beatles were the best band ever.

[GingaPlayer2]

ARE the best band ever

[isycatboy]

Originally it was about a little girl. But who says it can't be about LSD, if we believe it, we make it. Just don't trash such a distinct song/video with a drug that nowadays is used by douches to pass the time, instead of mature people exploring different perspectives of reality...

[TheSupersin]

thoses guys must smoke alot of weed to make theses kind of songs xD i love it anyways the beatles make great songs

[eman986]

how is this not about drugs

[legolaray]

or it could be LSD

[Hockeyguy519]

yeah it is LSD...thin kbotu it Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD)

[legolaray]

the inspiration is one of the members' son said that he was in love with a girl from his school who he called lucy in the sky with diamonds

[TheSpartanProject]

It is LSD L-Lucy S-sky D-diamonds

[Wezzipooh]

Holy shit NO! you must be joking!?!?!?!?!?!?

[TheSpartanProject]

i am only thirteen. give me a break. sorry.

[Wezzipooh]

aww you sweet thing!

[TheSpartanProject]

@Wezzipooh me?

[atticusallstars]

Don't worry about it. We were all lead to believe that. Just enjoy it as a poetic trip into the imagination. The whole LSD thing is overstated anyway. Only around5% of their output is about or influenced by it.

[dullsvillain]

@TheSpartanProject

I like that you like Beatles and your 13.

[playmymusicNOW]

my brother is 8 & me nd my mum introduced him. he's now a member of the cult :D

[TheSpartanProject]

I am sorry to the people who thumbs downed me. I am only thirteen and did my reasearch and discovered it IS about jullians picture.

[McWhanAcount]

For the love of God stop arguing about what was the inpiration of the song. Not all of the rich lyrical content could have been taken from a drawing by a child. Sure, it may have inspired the theme but it was most likely LSD also had an influence. Who knows but it is a legendary song and that is all we need to know.

[bobbyony]

john lennons son braut him a pictcher or a girl in a airplane with beuteful eyes its not LSD

[shkdbsahbdlabf1]

LSD

[adaquin95]

thank god the Beatles took acid some of their best years

[zebilon123]

i likes me some good acid trips

[BriBri897]

i think the video ruins it. it has nothing to do with the song, which is rich in images. AND the song is way more trippy.

[iDubFilthy]

you know what, maybe it's about both? fucking stop arguing about what it means. Only he knows what his song is about. All I know, is that the video was well done, and the song was well written and played. I love this.

[boberino15]

This song isnt about LSD, its about a girl John Lennons son knew. His son drew a picture of her and put stars around it and john asked "what is that?" his son replied "its lucy in the sky with diamonds

[Kelhibbert]

IT DOESN'T MATTERRRR. Like iDubFilthy said, stop arguing about it. I heard John say that in an interview too but he could have been just saying it because of the crap Paul got for admitting they did LSD. It's a great song, just leave it at that.

[mysteryIndeed]

i wish LSD was as easy as getting weed,, I CANT FIND IT! :(

[Kelhibbert]

It took me like a year to get it! Keep trying, it's worth the wait ;)

[mysteryIndeed]

haha aight 4 sure

[lennonator2k8]

[superwhitings23]

[chodeyhawk]

[f3nd3rjg528]

False. It's about a drawing that Julian Lennon drew.

[Elisabetta1971]
