[barricade456]

@SWJarek i can tell that you r gonna be a good parent. Just because you play beatles music shows that. :)

[jbmarianne12]

The Beatles are the best band in the world!!! I'm 14 and they so much better than the shit that's out on the radio today.

[salkkuman]

They played over 10000 hours together before coming famous. That's the secret.

[StudioScript]

penis

[SlinkierFugur]

@StudioScript I have one of those!

[gamopam]

Thanks to this song we all have an ancestor.

[MrRachet101]

Wow... it's amazing how such simpleminded baboons could say such things about The Beatles.. you know.. considering that all that terrible music they listen to now days, was evolved from this..

[123rachyb]

The Beatles were like the best band in history and made millions!! Top song

[MrSimonono]

L = Lennon's S = Son's D = Drawing. Thumbs up

[ChibiSaku1]

Love <3

[vipergtsrvp]

This song is awful. Bunch of no talent druggies

[JoshhLyons]

@vipergtsrvp Not sure if trying to troll. Or just dumb.

[TheCalebdude13]

@vipergtsrvp

So, pretty much your mom?

[MrRocked123]

@vipergtsrvp simple solution for you just dont listen, go listen to lady gaga or whoever you like then

[Feelthefx]

3 people had a bad trip

[tombradyistheman1]

Will never be a singing tandem as good as Lennon, McCartney. NEVER these two were geniuses. 40 years from now when I'm old and have grandchildren I will fill them in on the music wrote about 100 years ago.(at that time), and let them know that this is what started it, and cherish it bcuz there will never be another John, Paul George and Ringo . #bestbandever.

[fillipeano]

What is this trash?

Now that I have your attention, this song kicks ass

[jarrodwhite100]

Now this is music. Forever live the Beatles.

[pikachusnewgroove2]

Why are the top two comments the same?

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

Of COURSE this song is about LSD. What else would it be other than Lennon's Son's Drawing?

[Dearhunter43]

@GeekHippieEndarkened Actually, this song was accidently Psychedelic, John had no thoughts of LSD for the duration of the writing.

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

@Dearhunter43 Thank you, Captain Obvious. Did you even read my entire comment?

[kisstheskyyyy]

yea, age is nothing & hearing 13 yr olds brag & 52 yr olds chastise gets old real quick at 22, but maybe i'm the girl kaleidoscope eyes. i realized love for The Beatles & Shakespeare come with age though, so congrats but shut up & keep on exploring music because it NEVER ends (: (esp with the likes of beatles & radiohead, I have been a radiohead fan for almost a decade & I would be not the least bit surprised with hearing a foreign song of theirs.read history for yourself, these are mad times

[Mr8bitgamer]

I hate kids who say: 'If music's old, it isn't good anymore.' I always say: 'If music the still kicks ass 40 years later, than you know its good music.'

[the13er]

To be honest, the sound and lyrics is VERY LSD.

[Chronicles2030]

LSD +beatles= great music :D



[Chronicles2030]

Who the heck the is fucker who thumbs this down?

Who says we beat the shit outta him?

Jus kiddin...ALL HAIL BEATTLES!!!!!

[buerplaysguitar]

THIS IS OLD PEOPLE'S MUSIC!

...

AND YOUNG PEOPLE MUSIC!

... This is music that could easily become humanity's anthem.

I'm 19 years old and I can't tell you how much Beatles music moves me. That comes from a Pearl Jam fan.

[xXxmodzrangerxXx]

lucy in the sky with diamonds(LDS)

[br0nc096]

@xXxmodzrangerxXx It's only three letters and you still can't arrange them properly?

[SuperKojim]

Ya i'm a generation X-er 37 years old, this album is right up there with nevermind, hysteria, OK computer, master of puppets , PLease please me is a great beatle (second side) album too.

[Seanus32]

If you are so young, you likely haven't 'truly' experienced The Beatles

[jpsmart59]

It is done in a waltz 3/4 count with alternating 4/4 count. An intro, first verse and then a bridge and a refrain. The bridge is in the key of B flat but completes itself

in the key of G. It was not the first time the Beatles used a 3/4 waltz rythmn,

"We Can Work It Out" had one in it. The verse is in the key of A and consists of a chromatic filling (repeated) out of a I chord. Lennon wrote the song about his son

and denies it was about LSD. But Paul today says different.

[ozzybwild]

@jpsmart59 Congratulations, professor. The audience room is empty now, by the way.. ;)

[jpsmart59]

@ozzybwild That's because the class is over....lol None of the Beatles could read or write music. So George Martin would do the arrangements like the trumpets, horns, and strings, etc. for the songs that had them in them. Okay, lecture is over now....lol

[ozzybwild]

@jpsmart59 I'm seriously interested now (despite my cynic comment)!

Is it that he DID the arrangements FOR them, or rather just helped out writing down the notes for the stuff the "famous four" created/thought of without further knowledge of music theory?

[ALean127]

@jpsmart59 You are mistaken. Though John wasn't classically trained, he wrote all of his own music. He would present his songs on acoustic guitar, and he'd tell GM vague descriptions of what he wanted production wise. Paul would come in knowing exactly the sounds and arrangements he wanted. GM would conduct and arrange the orchestras. You should read Here, There, and Everywhere by Geoff Emerick. He was The Beatles' engineer from 1962-1968. It talks all about how the Beatles wrote and recorded

[waycephus623]

@jpsmart59 Yes it is true that the beatles use triple metre in the form of 3/4 time in the verses of this song and in other classics such as Shes leaving home complete song but I must say that paul and john both could read music as they both wrote songs that they wrote the music for such as hey jude and imagine

[theodorehastreiter]

Lucifer in the sky with diamonds

[PeaceSells102]

This song reminds me of the movie "Free to be you and Me" for some reason. Lol

[misslizardking27]

Why should age matter? The fact is, The Beatles made timeless music- so just enjoy it!

[theLazyiestTurtle]

No one gives a shit how old you are kids. Just listen and stop sharing your boring stories.

[100cheese]

@theLazyiestTurtle ok :)

[DalueCommentarys]

@theLazyiestTurtle IM 15 AND I AGREE. IRONY.

[gorillazhead]

@theLazyiestTurtle I'm 18, and I don't give a shit.

[1tuxedoedlobster]

gary pepper/kit

[blueoystercult22]

first heard this on a john peel radio show about drugs in music of the 60's peel spoke about the LSD influence hence the words- Lucy Sky Diamonds he also played the rolling stones Mothers Little Helper- also worth checking out.

[texaswilliam01]

i remember when i first started liking older music (no offens) its when i was 10 my bro had red hot chili peppers and i told my friend about it and he knew them to and asked if i knew the beatles i said not really and he showed me them the first song i heard was this :D (btw im 13)

[theamykee]

Incat026

I'm 13 and thats all i listen to. :d I grew up listening to it so I -3 it

[guzziie]

lsd



[TheBeatlesTrueFan]

John wrote this song from a picture Julian brought home from school.

[theganjafarmer42O]

everyone who says that this song is about John's kid just because they read it on wikipedia must be extremely gullible.... this song is all about tripping balls

[sparksflow]

selaphane flowers of yellow and green.......lsd?

[man7771001]

@sparksflow lol at first i thought he said 17 flowers

[bubbles125312]

Here Lies Paul...

[harrison4691]

1 person? WTF?!?! that person must be Mark Chapman

[marcingrochala1]

Todays musicians take more drugs, including LSD, than The Beatles ever did, and they still make a crap music.

[babidaboopy]

@marcingrochala1 It's never about excess, for things like LSD to have a positive effect on you and your music, you need to take your time.

[mrtall1994]

@marcingrochala1

The beatles didn't need the drugs though..it was just a nice little bonus lol

[tictacs808]

@marcingrochala1 exactly

[JG129]

@marcingrochala1 Not true. Very few musicians now a days take psychedelic drugs. Its mainly pot and Coke now.

[mevnation]

@marcingrochala1 The Beatles were taking it then writing it down but they specifically said don't play the instruments or it will sound crappy

[incat026]

16 and listen to nothing else other than the beatles and classic Rock!

[GBPaddling]

Anyone who has done L.S.D. will realise,it describes it all perfectly,and could be about nothing else!!!! John just said it was about a painting by young Julian,but he was obviously being duplicitous!

[cheiscool1]

who ever disliked is a loser you just cant hate the beatles

[savoytruffle400]

i know people who say the beatles are over rated and they refer to them as old music, i simply respond by saying screw rap and hip hop this is real music.

[osen33]

Why isn´t this can´t be about LSD... is that relly bad? What really matters is that they were, are and will be AMAZING!! FOREVER & EVER!!!!

[loopcnatsirt]

me too im almost 14 and this kicks serious shit

[HVoltage152]

Lucy in the

Sky with

Diamonds

I just dont get how it could possibly have anything to do with a drug..... :P

[MrSantiago485]

SPLHCB is the most kick ass album in the world and the best work from the Beatles

[MrBuc128]

I first got into the Beatles in 1987. Sgt peppers had just been released on CD for the first time and there was a lot of press about the release. After having seen a news story on it I borrowed the cassete [I had not owned a CD player at the time] from a friend smoked a small amount of pot and listened to it at home on headphones. I became a fan Immediately.Damn those were some good times.

[RobbyBlitz]

I'm sorry but if you honestly believe this song isn't about LSD you're seriously kidding yourself.

[TheCamiy11]

@RobbyBlitz its not about LSD :)

[goodmorningpie]

@TheCamiy11 Yes. Yes it is.

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes"

L..ucy in the

S..ky with

D..iomands

[TheCamiy11]

@goodmorningpie no. because John did the song after his son showed him a painting that he made called Lucy in the sky, google it even, Lucy was a girl in John's son's class, and they were friends so he made a drawing and showed it to his dad (John)

[mistyxwyx]

This song is not about drugs (LSD). it's about Julian's drawing of a girl in a sky full of stars made out of diamonds!! i hate when people say "TEACHER!!!" or "MOM!! SHE'S LISTENING TO A DRUG SONG!!!"

[MrBuc128]

@mistyxwyx To me the two are not mutually exclusive.In other words yes maybe there was such a drawing but I also think John saw the title and realized that it could also be a good title for a song about LSD.The song is a psychedelic song. All you have to do is listen to it to realize that it descibes an acid trip. It is no secret that John and the other Beatles had taken LSD. Had someone like Donny Osmond wrote then I would not think it was about acid but were talking about John Lennon.

[TheLuckyBambi]

People in my school always say they hate the Beatles, I just refuse to believe them! lol

[paulthepill]

lol, 1 person is not a real person.

[3megastink]

1 person is an idiot!

[tobigama]

...but why do i have to think of lsd?

[langitang]

[TheCamiy11]

[awesomepossum890]

MORAISITO karina, ametista, luzes  - the best...

[jdrt10]

but people, this aren't the beatles doing, its sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band only record ever, dont get confused with their alter egos. ;)

[artonpaper]

I am 54, and have never enjoyed the Beatles more than now. I actually did not care for them much when they were together..

But really like them now, just shows you the quality of their music.

[mayr1234567890]

Most epic beginning to a song EVER

[scratchknife]

My passion for music started when I was 5, my dad was blasting Beatles on the PC and I listened and it was awesome

[Ventasmentos]

Who cares about age. Either you like it or you don't. I was born when grunge was born. I like that as much as beatles, SRV, D'angelo, David Guetta and [insert a whole decade of music artists].

40 years ago this was pop. 40 years ago, elderly and a minor part of the youth cursed Beatles while listening to Shostakovich.

[bigran2007]

True, I never get tired listening to the Beatles songs. I even tried to sing like the Beatles since I was a teenager and now I am 47, still listening to the their music and singing along. I have requested a song "in my life" to play at my funeral. I grew up with the Beatles songs and will die with the their songs.

[RickyGervaisFreak]

People today don't have any taste in music with all the Disney crap....I am 15, I listen to The Beatles all the time, I basically listen to music from the 60's-90's..but more in the 60's and 70's! The Beatles forever!! R.I.P John Lennon and George Harrison. Keep on rocking Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!

[catholicbhoy]

THE BEATLES ARE THE BEST BAND EVER TO BE

[dwightward]

[ItzGam3rz]

@TheNinjaPagan I don't know why people would even listen to the crap they have now.

[TheNinjaPagan]

They follow the crowd, sad, isn't it?

[ratze829]

@TheNinjaPagan

You`re doing the same by commenting this video the way you do. 

[jovialduke]

@TheNinjaPagan considering that the beatles are the most popular and commercial band in the world the same argument could be made for them.

[asianperson414]

@TheNinjaPagan Most certainly, my son.

[TheJoeLau]

@TheNinjaPagan I think that too!!!

And I'm also 13!

[TheJoeLau]

[EmmyRocker1]

[hnksnw]

@easkateman don't forget the kinks!

[hnksnw]

@TheNinjaPagan It's understandable if you can't stand most of the current mainstream trash they call music. I am 23 musician and I think the beatles are going to stay great for a long time.

[TheGabgirl34]

@TheNinjaPagan u r so right im your age i think this stuff to me is new pop rock !!!

[TheCaluzz]

[SHRED470]

@TheNinjaPagan fuck yeah buddy. beatles are imortal after they released this fucking album. masterpiece is an understatement to describe

[chazzybang]

[andresgarllo]

Nice Chorus!!

[cshargeit]

obviously it was john's song-- not bad reproduction here-- but paul insisted the chorus-"lucy in the sky"... needed his "melodic bass"... it did not. NOT AT ALL.

[Dumas175]

LSD yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hildefan]

Nice!
