Along with heart melting songs like "I Want to Hold Your Hand", the Beatles wrote deep and sometimes controversial tunes. A favorite, "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" was thought to be about getting high because the abbreviations of the song are in fact, "LSD". Not only that, but the song itself has some pretty loopy lyrics. My favorite verse being; "Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away. Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, and you're gone." Lennon defended the words by saying his son Julian had drawn a picture and when he asked him what it was he replied "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" Some doubt the validity of that story...you choose what you believe.
