Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - The Beatles Karaoke

[music4evr80s]

Your video is beautiful<33 is that you in the clip??

[Marc911UK]

Its about Julian's drawing, but in an interview with Paul McCartney years later, he said that it was a fun one to include. He didn't rule out their use of the drug, and just kept saying that everyone was doing it then.

[mrrossjonathan]

John probably realised "LSD" when he saw Julian's painting and decided to make a song out of it.

[alienrobotmonkey]

it's not about LSD, it's about Lucifer. =D

[JamieMatthewsAtWars]

its all in the mind y'know

[thevaleriealvarez]

this karaoke is way off beat but nice instrumental

[ShinyAlbia]

Karaoke version of original song is very good in my opinion. And I'm sick of that LSD theory.

[NeededProof]

*picture drawn

[NeededProof]

The song was wrote about a julian drawn by Julian Lennon

When he was at school he drew a picture of a girl he liked and he said it was Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

Paul and John then decided to write a song from what they could see on the picture. He had zero to do with LSD,

[BlackSabbathRockR19]

The song isn't about drugs.

I read that it was inspired by a drawing his son did.

However, it really isn't that big of a deal.

[odiug95]

liked the video :)

[SmileySJG]

this version is disturbing!!!!!

[skye9platypus9]

this viedo is depressing

[imblonde007]

so what if its about drugs .. or his son or w.e .....

the song isnt ment to be all LSD's are good try then ... get high

thats not the point not once in the song does it say to do drugs ..

its meant to be a song a bout the girl Lucy

so i dont see why u guys are jumping to conclusions

drugs are bad ..

[sktrhippie]

fuck all of your bitch asses its just a song.live it.love it.learn it!

[czoduqa]

your all wrong

its about me

[1995Sian]

the songs not about LSD, its actually about a drawing by julian when he was little. when john asked what it was, julian said its Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[wicatar1]

and was highly inspired by johns favorite book as a kid: alice in wonderland

[mwnciful]

Try typing lucy in the sky with diamonds into wikipedia...it is about LSD..also read anthology where the other band members express the very same!

[NyriaMarbeu]

1 of all wikipedia sucks never trust it and 2nd yea ur right it is bout the experience they had while on lsd it talks about in the new Beatles collection that recently came out

[thecoolestdah]

thiz iznt bout lsd?!? it waz bout a painting john's son painted?!?

[wingdairu]

Not even a painting. it was a crayon drawing of Julian Lennon's classmate, Lucy, against a starry sky. It had the words "Lucy in the sky with diamonds on it. John was so inspired by the drawing that when Paul McCartney came over for a recording session, he was shown the drawing and the two started writing immediately.

[ashlovesyouu094]

what the hell does it matter, drugs or no frugs lets just enjoy the song

[zombiehorde99]

i know? who cares about frugs anyway

[buzz88270]

Sorry I don't speak english very well...

It's about LSD. When a journalist asked to him if it was really about lsd, he explains the story of the drawing.

But if you wanna make sure, see the extract of the movie "yellow submarine"

[kimberdancer96]

this song is actually about a drawing!

[squishy6309]

acctulally this song is not about LSD...smart people! its about a picture that John's son drew at school and when John asked him what it was he said..."its lucy in the sky with diamonds!" thus came this song. it would be later found out that John's son had a crush on a girl named Lucy. think people!! not all songs are about drugs...sheesh!

[xNjaMx]

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds = LSD

[aizcreamstudios]

Yes, this song is not about LSD, it was Julian's drawing mixed in John's head with some Alice In Wonderland -type imaginery. And John has told openly about other songs of his that actually ARE connected with drugs ("She Said She Said" on Revolver, for example), so why would he have denied it with this one?

[Greig1424]

he was obviously on lsd

[number1covers]

Krug1424 is right. Everyone know this song is about LSD.

The Beatles wrote some ok songs but they weren't very good on their instruments and had studio musicians play the hard parts. That's why my band did a new and improved version of their song "Lucy In the Sky". Check out our video and you'll see why most folks say our version is better then the original.

[aizcreamstudios]

number1covers, I don't agree with that "not very good on their instruments". I'm not a musical expert or anything, but I think at least Macca was (well, still is!) a very talented musician and could play many instruments really well. All of them were at least good enough, and John Paul and George were great songwriters. And they didn't get other musicians do the "hard parts", they got them to play the instruments they couldn't (It's hard to make a string orchestra out of four men, for example..)

[number1covers]

Hey jizcreamstudios, I guess you might be right that they could their instruments. At least we can agree with my main point though - that my band is much better at arranging and live performance.

[miluko3]

Paul was beast on his bass, George has been playing since he was 12... and I highly doubt yours is bettr than theirs....

[miluko3]

They didn't get others to play the "hard parts." That just sounds quite idiotic. It's kinda hard to sound like an orchestra of at least 7 cellos, violins, and stringed basses with four guys.

[miluko3]

Noo... He wasn't :]

[mjZstargirl]

i like the julian-lucy story more than the LSD one.

[miluko3]

Very True.

[Lab3920]

Dude.... that chick's hot.

[pinkertoy]

Its about Julian's drawing

[ziccardi1]

youngbeatlesfan they could just be saying they didnt notice it till after the song. but it dosnt matter cause its a great song anyhow

[CharleyMcLemon]

sorry u have ruin the song by puting a cheap casio ketboard sound over it >trust me

[YoungBeatlesFan4Life]

This is song is not about LSD, The Beatles only noticed after they wrote the song. So how can it be about LSD?

[TheRealWackyZack]

this is not about drugs at all

kaleidoscope eyes is said because the girl in the picture was drawn with big eyes...

gawd ppl r so dumb

[joymaker]

lucy in the sky with diamonds heh?

maybe try to read the first letter of each word.yeap!!!lsd!!!

[NieshItUp]

accturally they wrote this song about a picture his son drew about a girl he liked in school.

[Treemeadow]

@NieshItUp no, thats what he SAID it was about.

Paul McCarteny later confirmed that it was drugs.

[trimphbsa]

I dropped acid when this song came out. Lucy In The Sky brings out great imagery that was prevalent in the psychedelic era. The Beatles always had toungue in cheek humour.

[PinkLadyDeluxe]

MademoiselleElcair, please don't believe everything you read!

have you ever heard of something having 2 meanings...

do you really think that the beatles at that time would have said "yes, that song is about drugs. we love lsd, and that's why we wrote the song..."?!

[TheCureObsessive]

they did take LSD...

'LUCY' in the 'SKY' with 'DIAMONDS'

pure coincidence?

tangerine trees, marmalade skies, girl with kaleidoscope eyes, cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head, rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies, newspaper taxis, plasticine porters with looking glass ties...

that's why i personally believe that this song IS about LSD...

all those are sort of hallucinations, but feel free to believe what you want :)

[DreamApnea]

Didn't you ever draw things like that as a child? I think it is coincidence really and they only noticed after. Maybe they even meant it as both? That's the thing about good music. :3 It's open to interpretation between individuals.

No doubt they took drugs, but now that there is more knowledge about their dangers I'm almost positive they would be against young people (or anyone probably) them. :-)

[lizziedance2010]

@TheCureObsessive the beatles said themselve that it wasnt. they said that everytime they tried to write a song while on lsd, it turned out complete shit. so they never did.

[MademoiselleElcair]

hey i wanna make something very clear: this song is not about lsd. it just simply isn't. one of th beatles' nephews was drawing a random picture with a lady in the sky (because he was a toddler and toddlers draw the most random things). So they made a song about it.

[TheCureObsessive]

girl with kaleidoscope eyes?

listen to the lyrics and tell me they arent fuelled by drugs

the beatles took drugs, sad but true

[MademoiselleElcair]

I'm not trying to defend them or anything. I know the Beatles took drugs. No duh. I'm just trying to make sure that eveyrone knows the truth and not that stupid myth that's always going around. The little kid was drawing a picture and they asked him what it was of, and he said "its lucy, this girl from school." and she was in the sky with stars. so they made a song about it, but its kinda poetic, dont you think?

[SkellingtonSkullz]

Yeah, I heard that story to, Ringo Starr has the picture now. I think Julian's Ma gave it him. To be honest, so much rubbish is said about the 'real' meanings of Beatles songs, that I don't suppose we'll ever know for sure, but I believe the picture story for this one.

[TheCureObsessive]

fair enough

the lyrics can only be thought of by an overly vivid imagination which is only usually prsent in children or by a drug taker lol

[theriseofJ]

@TheCureObsessive either that or a person with a childlike mind who is able to see things through a childs perspective

[sugarhigh941]

actually, it was john's sun, julian. he drew a picture at preschool, and when john asked him what it was,he replied, "it's lucy (one of julian's classmates) in the sky with diamonds."

[seba4]

appearently Julian took LSD.

[charcoleroses]

how duz a preeschooler no what lucy in the sky with diamond iss?!? like wtf r his parents teaching him?

[TheCureObsessive]

lol i was thinking that...

this song is either a major coincidence

or it's just about drugs....

x

[MagicalMystery12378]

@TheCureObsessive the song is about johns son Jude making a painting in school and he named it Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds so john made a song about the painting!

[thevaleriealvarez]

@MagicalMystery12378 his name is jullian, not jude. they shortened it to "hey jules" but later decided "hey jude"

[livibusiness]

exactly. they did experiment with LSD, but this song isn't about that. lennon said so himself in an interview. stupid people just made that up so they could have an excuse to correlate drugs into the beatles' songs.

[ilymorgantaylor]

omg BORING jk i didnt even watch it

[TheCureObsessive]

gawwd

[gensuicida]

sucks

[TheCureObsessive]

uhh
