Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band&#8221; reprise on Side Two \u2013 that explore the background of this revolutionary and beloved record. Today&#8217;s installment tells the story of how a school drawing by a three-year-old Julian Lennon inspired &#8220;Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I swear to God, or swear to Mao, or to anybody you like, I had no idea it spelt LSD,&#8221; John Lennon insisted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/news\/lennon-remembers-part-two-19710204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>Rolling Stone<\/i> in 1970<\/a>\u00a0of the title of &#8220;Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.&#8221; In interview after interview, Lennon begged listeners to accept that the <i>Sgt. Pepper&#8217;s Lonely Hearts Club Band<\/i> standout was &#8220;not an acid song.&#8221; The public, for their part, merely rolled their eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Until the end of his life, Lennon maintained that the song was actually inspired by a painting that his three-year-old son Julian had made of Lucy O&#8217;Donnell, his classmate at Heath House nursery school. &#8220;This is the truth: My son came home with a drawing and showed me this strange-looking woman flying around,&#8221; he explained during an appearance on <i>The Dick Cavett Show<\/i> in 1971. &#8220;I said, &#8216;What is it?&#8217; and he said, &#8216;It&#8217;s Lucy in the sky with diamonds,&#8217; and I thought, &#8216;That&#8217;s beautiful.&#8217; I immediately wrote a song about it. After the album had come out and the album had been published, someone noticed that the letters spelt out LSD and I had no idea about it. &#8230; But nobody believes me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-content\">\n<p>Lennon was very forthright about the role drug use played in his songwriting. He consistently attributed &#8220;She Said, She Said&#8221; and &#8220;Tomorrow Never Knows&#8221; from 1966&#8217;s <i>Revolver<\/i> to his experiences on LSD, and the 1969 Plastic Ono Band track &#8220;Cold Turkey&#8221; is an unvarnished musical self-portrait written in the midst of his own excruciating heroin withdrawal. It seems out of character that Lennon would lie about the true origins of &#8220;Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the number of witnesses is truly astounding. &#8220;I was actually with John when Julian came in with this little kid&#8217;s painting,&#8221; Ringo Starr recalled in the\u00a0<i>Beatles Anthology <\/i>documentary. Lennon&#8217;s wife Cynthia also related a similar story <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=g9YFvAv6GrwC&amp;pg=PT453&amp;lpg=PT453&amp;dq=I+remember+him+coming+home+from+school+with+it+and+showing+it+to+his+dad,+who+was+sitting+down&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=yBpMfNKn35&amp;sig=E-GSzfUatmgu6pRFdpDYAxeeX9A&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwi-3caXjunTAhUD5yYKHebOCUUQ6AEIJzAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in later years<\/a>. &#8220;I remember him coming home from school with it and showing it to his dad, who was sitting down. At the time he didn&#8217;t say, &#8216;Oh, my God! What a great title for a song,&#8217; but it obviously stuck.&#8221; Even Lennon&#8217;s boyhood friend Pete Shotton was present for the song&#8217;s genesis. &#8220;I happened to be there the day Julian came home from school with a pastel drawing of his classmate Lucy&#8217;s face against a backdrop of exploding, multi-colored stars,&#8221; he wrote in 1983&#8217;s <i>The Beatles, Lennon and Me<\/i>. &#8220;Unusually impressed with his son&#8217;s handiwork, John asked what the drawing was called. &#8216;It&#8217;s Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Daddy,&#8217; Julian replied. &#8216;Fantastic,&#8217; John said, and promptly incorporated that memorable phrase into a new song.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginelibrary.org.uk\/10\/ufosinhistory1\/Albums\/Album1\/Source\/24_UFOs_in_history.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">five-by-seven-inch piece of paper<\/a> had a marked effect on all who saw it back in 1967. &#8220;I showed up at John&#8217;s house one day, and he said to me, &#8216;Look at this great drawing Julian&#8217;s just done,'&#8221; Paul McCartney recalled in a 1992 episode of <i>The South Bank Show<\/i>. &#8220;And I remember it very well. It was a kid&#8217;s drawing, and kids always have people floating around like [painter Marc] Chagall does in all his things. I think it&#8217;s something to do with kids not realizing that people have to be put on the ground.&#8221; He and Lennon began swapping surreal suggestions for lyrics, drawing on a shared love of Lewis Carroll and Kenneth Grahame&#8217;s <i>The Wind in the Willows<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Julian himself remains bemused by the pop-cultural debate he inadvertently triggered as a little boy. &#8220;I don&#8217;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,&#8221; he says in Steve Turner&#8217;s book, <i>A Hard Day&#8217;s Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Song<\/i>. &#8220;I used to show dad everything I&#8217;d built or painted at school and this one sparked off the idea for a song.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For all the fuss about what the song is or isn&#8217;t about, perhaps the least-discussed aspect is the identity of its namesake. As a child, O&#8217;Donnell lived near the Lennons&#8217; Kenwood estate in Weybridge, Surrey. &#8220;I can remember Julian at school,&#8221; she told Turner. &#8220;I can remember him very well. I can see his face clearly. We used to sit alongside each other in proper old-fashioned desks.&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell held fond memories of Julian, telling the <i>Daily Mail<\/i> in 2009, &#8220;He was the bravest boy in school whom I recall jumping into a freezing swimming pool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"blockquote-1\"><p>&#8220;I made the mistake of telling a couple of friends at school that I was the Lucy in the song and they said, &#8216;No, it&#8217;s not you, my parents said it&#8217;s about drugs.'&#8221; \u2013Lucy O&#8217;Donnell<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like most children, the pair shared a love for mischief. &#8220;Julian and I were a couple of little menaces from what I&#8217;ve been told,&#8221; she admitted. Apparently they were up to no good on the day Julian painted the famous picture. &#8220;I remember Julian and I both doing pictures on a double-sided easel, throwing paint at each other, much to the horror of the classroom attendant,&#8221; she said in a 2007 BBC radio documentary. &#8220;Julian had painted a picture and on that particular day his father turned up with the chauffeur to pick him up from school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nearly a decade would go by before O&#8217;Donnell learned of her role in the song&#8217;s creation, by which point she had heard the popular rumor that it glorified LSD. &#8220;I don&#8217;t relate to that type of song,&#8221; she told the Associated Press in 2009. &#8220;As a teenager, I made the mistake of telling a couple of friends at school that I was the Lucy in the song and they said, &#8216;No, it&#8217;s not you, my parents said it&#8217;s about drugs.&#8217; And I didn&#8217;t know what LSD was at the time, so I just kept it quiet, to myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The friends lost touch once Julian left school following his parents&#8217; split in 1968. Over the decades they saw each other just once, briefly, at one of Julian&#8217;s concerts in the mid-Eighties. They eventually reconnected in April 2009 under tragic circumstances, after Julian learned that O&#8217;Donnell (then known as Lucy Vodden) was battling an advanced case of Lupus. &#8220;Julian got in touch with me out of the blue, when he heard how ill I was, and he said he wanted to do something for me,&#8221; she told <i>The Guardian<\/i> soon after they rekindled their friendship.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t sure at first how to approach her,&#8221; Julian <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/obituaries\/la-me-lucy-vodden29-2009sep29-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said at the time<\/a>. &#8220;I wanted at least to get a note to her. Then I heard she had a great love of gardening, and I thought I&#8217;d help with something she&#8217;s passionate about, and I love gardening too. I wanted to do something to put a smile on her face.&#8221; He began sending her garden-center gift cards and texting her regularly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/news\/lucy-who-inspired-beatles-lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds-dies-20090928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lucy O&#8217;Donnell Vodden died on September 22nd, 2009<\/a>, after a five-year battle with the disease. The following month, Julian released &#8220;Lucy,&#8221; a duet with James Scott Cook, in her memory, with all proceeds going to Lupus charities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0rollingstone.com<\/p>\n<div id=\"nativeArticleReCirc\" class=\"sfp-unit\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"nativeArticleReCirc2\" class=\"sfp-unit\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beatles&#8216; Sgt.
