John Lennon said that his inspiration for the song came when his three-year-old son Julian showed him a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the Sky with Diamonds", [4] depicting his classmate Lucy O'Donnell. [5] Julian later recalled: "I don't know why I called it that or why it stood out from all my other drawings, but I obviously had an affection for Lucy at that age. I used to show Dad everything I'd built or painted at school, and this one sparked off the idea." [5] [6] [7] Ringo Starr witnessed the moment and said that Julian first uttered the song's title on returning home from nursery school. [4] [8] [9] Lennon later said, "I thought that's beautiful. I immediately wrote a song about it." [4]

The Beatles recorded "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in March 1967. Adding to the song's ethereal qualities, the musical arrangement includes a Lowrey organ part heavily treated with studio effects, and a drone provided by an Indian tambura. The song has been recognised as a key work in the psychedelic genre. Among its many cover versions, a 1974 recording by Elton John – with a guest appearance by Lennon – was a number 1 hit in the US and Canada. Kung, Michelle (28 September 2009).

When you write a song and you mean it one way, and someone comes up and says something about it that you didn't think of – you can't deny it. Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," people came up and said, cunningly, "Right, I get it. L-S-D," and it was when [news]papers were talking about LSD, but we never thought about it. [10] The song was played at least once on BBC Radio at the time of the Sgt. Pepper album's release, on the 20 May 1967 broadcast of Where It's At hosted by Kenny Everett and Chris Denning. [34] [35] The song was also played as part of the 1972 BBC Radio documentary The Beatles Story, hosted by Brian Matthew. [36] Reception [ edit ] Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Songfacts".

Retrieved July 2, 2018. Goldstein, Richard (18 June 1967). "We Still Need the Beatles, but ...". The New York Times. p.24D. Discussing the impact of the Sgt. Pepper album, author Nicholas Schaffner cited the song as an example of how the Beatles successfully captured the way "young people were trying to transcend, transform, or escape from straight society" in 1967. He said that just as Harrison's " Within You Without You" represented the exoticism of Herman Hesse's Siddartha, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a "miniature pop version" of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in terms of conveying the sense of wonder the book evoked. [40] According to musicologist Walter Everett, the song's lyrics inspired "derivative texts" throughout the late 1960s, namely John Fred & His Playboy Band's " Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)", the Lemon Pipers' " Jelly Jungle (of Orange Marmalade)", Pink Floyd's " Let There Be More Light", and the Scaffold's "Jelly Covered Cloud".
