Sgt. Pepper's was the album that re-booted the hype of the Fab Four. Yes, everyone was wrapped up in the craze of Beatlemania, but they needed something better than ever. And so came about the creation of Sgt. Pepper's band. The album consists of a wide collection of songs from up beat to almost depressing. The opening number introduces the band and of course, Billy Shears (a pseudonym for Ringo)Each Brit naturally played some part in the making of this epic album. George Harrison offered his words to "Within You Without You". Despite the clear truth that the Beatles were into drugs during the era, songs such as these can offer pretty darn good advice. George writes about defining yourself as an individual but also seeing one another as a whole. "And the time will come when you see we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you." Along with this song, "A Little Help From My Friends" and "Fixing a Hole" also provide some inspirational lyrics. The titles themselves are pretty self explainatory but just in case; the first talks about having good friends who are always there for you. The latter ironically talks about "shaping up". The thing about this historic album is that every song creates a new story, loopy or not.
