Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney for the Beatles, is often associated with the drug LSD due to the coincidence of initials, though both composers have denied this connection. Inspired by a drawing made by Johns son, Julian, in nursery school, the song depicts a surreal and fantastical world, reflecting the Beatles imagination and creativity at the time of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album.
