Anyone else think of the movie "Yellow Submarine"?
This song in one of my top 20 songs by the Beatles
@tigress98 - his first son is named Julian and he looks and sounds alot like John. His drawing of his preschool classmate inspired the song. When John asked him what the drawing was, Julian said it's Lucy in the sky, with diamonds. Yes John was taking LSD at the time and now that is a known fact. I am sure the lyrics were helped along by that. :)
New favorite song right here.

I love Lucy ;) such a classic

"Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
I hate it when someone says this song was created by a LSD trip
Um some of u guys are really stupid john lennons "daughter" is #1 a boy and#2 named JULIEN
Will anyone take LSD while listening to it
While the song might have been about LSD, there was only one time that one of them was high while in the studio. That's where this song came from. John was high and George Martin didn't know what was wrong with him because he wasn't aware that they were taking LSD. He took him upstairs to the roof of the building and John was entranced by the stars.

I also heard the clip about them not being inspired by LSD to write this song. But I don't buy it. Just read the lyrics and check out when it was written.
sb_batra
how high do u have to be to write this?
@rakutz: sure the SAID they didn't use LSD. They were the Beatles and had to maintain a public image. I'd say Revolver was under some influence as well, specifically Tomorrow Never Knows (Inspired by a Lennon acid trip).
nitrous go's good with song,try it
tigeress98
@micheal schuver: john lennon's sons name is SHAUN, (maybe its spelled "sean") he's like the ultimate hipster. him and his girlfriend have their own band (just the 2 of them) and they turned down all the record deals to make their own label, own cover art, and publish it THEMSELVES. it also seemed like all the john and yuko comparisons really peeved him off even though he didn't say it.
this came up on my my chemical romance channel XD
but they're fantastic, so it's okay.
the beatles are the most influential band...EVER they influenced music, period
fgk96
Ah Sgt. Pepper. My first and at the moment only Beatles LP. It's terrific. Amazing that there are actually teenagers out there today that know this entire song.
Maybe is a dream. I sometimes dream in crazy colors and I am not under no drug influence.
I like the Shatner version better, but it makes no sense no matter who does it.
My first favorite rock band. I always love this song.
Ok, it wasn't a daughter, it was John's son Jullian
the_seropian
what triggered the thought to write this song was the daughter of one of the band members arrived home from school with a picture she drew of a girl she named "Lucy" who had diamonds for eyes and was floating in air. I heard this on "Breakfast w/ The Beatles" years ago.

This song is NOT about LSD. The Beatles admitted that they didn't experiment with LSD until well after the release of this song.

RIP Lucy
Acid trips vary based upon many things... if you ate a load of actual LSD and not the strichnine crap they make now...believ e you me you'll end up in some VERY STRANGE PLACES.

Not that your mother would know...

Classic Beatle's awsomeness
GO BEATLES!

This song is awesome, and whether it's about LSD or Julian's doodle (I think the latter) whatever you want to think is fine... it's not like they didn't ever get high.
My freshmen year of college we had to read the book "Lucy" the first thing I thought of was Elton John's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". It was an 800 page book about finding the oldest known human remains. It turns out that after they found the remains they did a little celebrating and the Beatles version of the song was playing, so they named their find Lucy. Funny that the title on the cover of the book made me think of the title of a cover song used to name the book.
LSD aint like this
