Reviews for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lyrics

Chances are that this song started as a innocent song about Julian's drawing but John and Paul couldn't help but notice the name contained "LSD" and then got very playful from there. That's part of the genius of the song: seemless duality of meaning. The lyrics work perfect from both points of view.

C'mon dudes, if the song really isn't about LSD _at_all_, tell me what's the point with all that acid stuff anyway? Even though name of that song really is a coincidense, video and lyrics definitely aren't.

Whatever, this song still reminds me of my first trip with acid. Luv it. <3

I read an article on AOL today that spoke of Lennon's daughter and her childhood friend Lucy of whom the song was about. It was his daughter who drew the picture of Lucy from school, and she's now sick, so they have reconnected. Something good in the news for a change, except for the fact that she's sick. Maybe not drug-related, just a cool song?

John Lennon said he got inspiration for the song when his son, Jullien (a.k.a Jude. Hey Jude...) came home after nursery, producing a picture of a girl he fancied. John said, whats that> Jude said, "It's Lucy, in the sky, with diamonds."

Who can say if it's true or not.

The Beatles are great. And some of the lyrics make it pretty obvious that it's about LSD ("Kaleidoscope eyes", "Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly"), but who cares? It's a song. And at that, a great song. Lucy in the skyyyyy with diamondddssss.

I don't know the origins of this song any more than the rest of you, but there is one thing I find interesting about the title. (L)ucy in the (S)ky with (D)iamonds? Things that make you go Hmmmm. Fantastic song, though....and isn't that what's important?

Really catchy song. Love the Beatles! Sure you can all agree with me.
OH and the by the way. I love how everyone ACTS like they know the story and then tells a HUNDRED different stories. Who really cares though? LSD? Pretty picture? Either way. Great song. Enjoy it. And besides, whether you're the biggest fan of the Beatles, and even if you are, you don't know everything and all the reasons of why the Beatles wrote their song. So don't even try. You can't compare.

why do you guys care if this song is about a drug or a picture? people are always trying to find a meaning to everything instead of just enjoying the experience... this song is awesome! the music, the lyrics, its a trip to a wonderful land just by itself! love it!

Why does it matter anyway about how it was written.

Great song, great flow, and obviously great people playing it.

And besides don't The Beatles represent a sort of "togetherness" with there music?

This song was inspired by Julian Lennon, John son. When Julian was 5 he drew a picture of him and his friend Lucy and they were in a sky full of stars. John decided that the stars looked more like diamonds cause they were made out of silver glitter. The song was not wrote under the influence of LSD but when they came up for the idea of the video they were infact under the influence of drugs including LSD and I think its great that they were cause I love this video and I love the song. People should get over the fact that The Beatles experimented with drugs! Did they kill anyone? NO! They had a good time and came up with amazing music!!!

the song is not about LSD. Everyone here knows the story. there is no denying that the picture is real. look it up. the song may have been inspired by drugs, but was bot about LSD. CO-IN-CI-DENSE.

Who cares whether this song is about lsd or acid, or about a picture that john's son drew one day at school. It does not matter that they did drugs. Everybody did. In fact the producers of said that The Beatles were ragging stoners when they where huge. We should not judge them because they did something everybody did at that time. All we should care about is that we where blessed with amazing band. That change the face of music forever! Sgt Pepper all the way!

This song is actually about a picture that one of the Beatles daughters drew him. He thought that is was so special that he wrote a song after it. The name of her picture was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds so it stuck and is one of the greatest songs ever.

This song is about LSD and people just need to accept it. It was written in the 1960s when psychadelic rock was massive and hippies ruled the world. Who cares if your against it, accept the facts. Its a beautiful song. Get over it. And its nice to know that most of you believe the excuse of the lucy story

lsd is a drug, and yes it makes you trip. whoopdeedoo
this song is not about lsd and listen to the lyrics some more and maybe you will find some meaning in the lyrics instead of lucy want crystals that come from the sky. come on, how dumb can you be, people say dont judge a book by the cover, dont judge a song by the name.
But i do agree with one point said, even though its obvious it wasnt meant for lsd it cannot be 100% said that it wasnt or was about lsd. none of us are lennon and therefore none of us actually know what he wanted.
