Hi Quirky. [LRC meows, screeches to a halt to rub head to Quirky's hand in greeting & purrs loudly], I think that mean you are almost famous! Can I sit & rub shoulders with you? Maybe I will become slightly almost famous.

Wolfie, I've heard some things over the years about some of the songs, but it's not like I go deliberately investigating any one of them. I did a little. curious about 'I Am the Eggman' when I heard they were having a go at the critics because they would take the songs so seriously, when, as far as the Beatles were concerned, there was not much in the way of deep & meaningful, nor anything to decrypt about them. So, they wrote a nonsense song, as if to say, so go & pull apart this one, then sit back & have a laugh.
Last night, although I know a bit of the story behind Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I just imagained the stars might look like tiny diamonds suspended up therem spinning, twinkling their prismatic reflected light back to us. So pretty. Maybe that's what little Lucy saw?
I saw the cartoon movie, but, sadly don't remember much now. Same goes for the black & white movies, Help & Hard Day's Nights. I remember a little more of Let It Be, with them on the rooftop of the building.
I have always preferred the slower, quietersongs. However, I like the way they made Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album was made, arranged, like a story. It's one of the 'complete' albums, like Carol King's Tapestry & Joni Mitchell's Paprika Plains. If I imagine any one song not being on these albums, it would not sound complete.
Are you interested in the stories of how songs came about & what prompted them to be written?
What do you think of all this, Quirky?
Hugzies to you both
