Because of the weird images in the song, and the coincidence of the intials in the song title, it's widely believed that the song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is about the drug LSD. In fact, the Beatles have maintained all these years that the song is not about drugs at all. The title was inspired by then four-year-old Julian Lennon. He brought home a picture he drew in nursery school, and told John it was his freind, Lucy, in the sky, with diamonds. John has said in interviews that the lyrics of the song were inspired by the 'Wool and Water' chapter in Lewis Carol's Through The Looking Glass, where Alice is taken down a river in a row boat by the Queen, who has suddenly changed into a sheep. Additional images came from things like the plastic ties they wore on The Goon Show, one of John's favorite programs.

Come on guys | Reviewer: Sun Warrior | 3/20/09 In my opinion, it is obvious that this song talks about LSD. forget that his daughter was called lucy, and even if you do not want to do it, then explain me this? what the hell is lucy in the sky with diamonds??? for me is LSD in two ways : the first one, the words lucy, sky and diamonds forms beautiful sigla called LSD. the second one: what happens if you try some LSD??? YOU reach the sky , then, lucy reach the sky with diamonds, the word diamond is a metaphor for crystals = LSD. This means : Lucy reach the sky wih LSD!!! it's reasonable... isn't it? Oh, by the way, I already tried LSD, and that kaleidoscope eyes are soooo beautiful... hihi Cumps This songs real meaning. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/18/09 To stop the arguing, i qoute. "Lucy was a few years older than Julian Lennon when he enrolled at the private Heath House School, in Weybridge, Surrey. But because John Lennon and the other Beatles used to visit the Richardson family's antique and jewelry shop, she knew the little boy. So when he became homesick and unsettled she would be called out of class to sit with him while he drew pictures. One of these pictures was of Lucy. Lucy's sister, Mary remembers 'One day John Lennon came into the shop and said, "Hello, Lucy in the sky with diamonds." We thought it was just John being John.' When a song with that name appeared on Sgt. Pepper, the Richardson family began to wonder. And when Lennon announced he had been inspired by his son's picture of a girl called Lucy, the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle came together. Wow, ily. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/12/09 Look man, who cares if this song is about LSD? LSD was a popular drug in the 1960's and has one of the lowest toxicity levels of any drug out there. Check this yourself, I personally guarantee that fact. Why do you think people have survived taking 400 hits of acid at once before? Sure, it'll make you trip for a week and you probably will awaken with a different perspective, but that is a consequence of a person's individual choice. At any rate, the song is not entirely about the drug, if at all. No one can say with 100% certainty that it is or isn't. Taking into account what we do know about the 1960's, it was most likely a social statement. We need more groups like the Beatles today, as our government is slowly advancing into areas it should not. We need young people to stand up and fight, much like college students in the 60's. If we do not stand up for ourselves, we will be systematically induced into a socialist coma and be trapped by the ropes of tyranny not so different from the USSR. So instead of critiqing the song for it's subtle drug references, let's focus on how to carry the message of the Beatles to a genreation who needs it more than they did. Long live the 60's PEACE Cody McGill, Humboldt County, California i love you. diamond kites | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/10/09 My 2 year old tells me this song is about kites. Kites are traditionally diamond shaped and are typically in the sky. It's the best explanation I've heard yet. The innocence and purity of a child's mind is so beautiful. Bill Hicks on the Beatles | Reviewer: Frank | 3/11/09 Y'know, Bill Hicks (RIP) had something to say about all this. "If you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, then go home and burn all your records, all your tapes, and all your CDs because every one of those artists who have made brilliant music and enhanced your lives? RrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrEAL fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they even let Ringo sing a few songs". Thats my point. LSD makes people come up with profound stuff, so what? Its their life, so stay the hell out of it. YAY BEATLES! | Reviewer: Nebraska G | 3/3/09 I got to say this is a really awesome song! But seriously don't ruin it for the rest of us by picking it to hell! So what if it's about LCD or just getting high in general. Its a good song and for what it's worth, have you ever stopped to think that maybe it may have different meaning to different people? And why the hell did the guy that wrote "You Fuc*ing Socialist" call people socialist so far in the threads i haven't been able to find anything that could hint at socialism? WTF?

Long live the 60's PEACE Cody McGill, Humboldt County, California Reality | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/26/09 Come on guys. Its obviously about LSD. And maybe the names came from his son or whatever. The ENTIRE song is about it. Hallucinations galore. Seeing kaleidoscopes figures is with hallucinogenic drugs such as acid. Not much of it makes sense unless you look at it from being on the drug. These are all or could all be "realities" when you are on the drug. Anybody that knows anything about the Beatles would know they were introduced to these drugs prior and were using them during the album. Britney Roberts | Reviewer: britney roberts | 2/23/09 it doesnt really matter what the meaning of the song is, so everyone quit trying to persuade this meaning, have it for yourself, either way you're killing the song in general instead of just talking about what a great song this was, which...it IS, of course the beatles are one of the sweetest bands out there, am i not right?? im right....
