The story behind the song

This song was inspired by a drawing John Lennon's son, Julian, made in nursery school, which he titled "Lucy – in the Sky with Diamonds." Lennon was also reading Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books at the time, and the lyrics draw heavily from Carroll's fantastical literary style, imagining Alice in a boat with various surreal encounters. The musical arrangement, with its Lowrey organ and Indian tambura, creates an ethereal quality that places it firmly in the psychedelic genre. Playing this song is like stepping into a vivid, dreamlike landscape.
