Which of the Beatles song's were from acid trips?

Question

I've heard many different stories about different songs inc. Hey Jude, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and I Am the Walrus.

Are any untrue? And are there additional songs induced by drugs?

Much appreciated.

Answer 1

well i know for sure lucy in the sky with diamonds is look at the abbreviation LSD not sure about the others i am the walrus is a pretty goofy song i wouldnt put it past that but i dont know about hey jude

Answer 2

Sargeant Peppers, The White Album maybe more.

The song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is not about LSD thats a complete myth.

Answer 3

They never wrote while on acid, they just wrote about their experiences with acid. And "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" isn't about LSD, it's based on a painting that John's son Julian drew. They had no idea it spelled out LSD.  

Answer 4

A Day In The Life is generally rergarded as being one of the better known acid songs from the Beatles. They had a number of albums that contained  what some people would call , music from an "altered state". Some of those albums were "Rubber Soul", the "Beatles" White Album, "Seargent Peppers", "Revolver" and "Magical Mystery Tour". Not all recordings were the result of altered states of minds, but it is not difficult to imagine which ones may have been. Both Lennon and Harrison wryly denied any such behaviour but it is known that most of the foursome if not all of them, participated in recreational use and spiritual use of substances. One of them was arrested in Japan for possession. I think if you listen to these albums, the songs that may have been recorded or produced with the aid of substances, may be apparent.

Answer 5

Definately Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

also "a day in the life" - infact most of Sergeant Pepper 1

Answer 6

Actually Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was not intentionally LSD. It was not John who named it, it was his son, Julian. Julian Lennon drew a picture of his friend Lucy from school. When John asked him what it was, Julian said "Lucy in the sky with diamonds." John just thought that was beautiful and wrote the song. http://au.geocities.com/maljam2002/lucyi... - the picture that Julian Lennon drew

And Hey Jude was by Paul, written for John Lennon's son, Julian. It was during John's divorce with Cynthia, and at that time, Julian felt as if Paul was being a better dad to him than John, who sort of just left Julian when he met Yoko. The song was originally titled "Hey Jules."
