The most common interpretation of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” is that the lyrics of the song follow the journey that one would embark on after taking the drug LSD which would project wild imaginings. Other interpretations of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” are that Lennon had a girlfriend named Lucy and that the song is primarily about her.. During “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”, the imaginative journey emanates throughout in which adds to the song’s complexity.…

    Ultimately, the Beatles withdrew their participation in live performances and henceforth, “they were no longer able to rely on their participation in a demanding touring schedule to bind them together as colleagues; instead they became competitors” (Cantrell, Ingles, 118). In addition, the Beatles increased success during the course of the years and with that success, fans had developed favorites. This preferentialism led to an “increasing number of invitations and opportunities to engage in solo projects” (Ingles, 118). This individualism seeped into the music and momentarily the Beatles were unable to cooperate amongst another and their music started to individualize. This individualization was present due to “musical differences and rivalries” that were only amplified due to “the constant presence of Yoko Ono during the recording sessions” (Ingles,…

    In this essay, I will be focusing on how music was revolutionized because of The Beatles. The Beatles became so successful through their style of music. The band never copied a style of music from previous bands or artists. The music that the Beatles played made the recognisable and distinct to their listeners. Their songs never focused on one topic, usually being about love, they wrote their songs with a wide variety of topics (1).…

    The Beatles

    In the article entitled The Beatles written by Kurt Loder it expresses the ordeals the members went through to get to fame, and how fame slowly wilted each man away. “the Beatles were then, and remain to this day, the world’s most astonishing rock-‘n’-roll band” (Loder). When the Beatles fame grew to the American soil their first single was I want to Hold Your Hand, and She loves you followed in its footsteps. Within months the Beatles had five singles that were the top five singles in the country. From coming from just wanting to enjoy music, to having fans that adore you and your lyrics was a great accomplishment for them. To this day, no one can really ever replace “The Beatles” there has been some tries at it like for instance, Oasis but that band never showed heart like the Beatles did. The group consisted of four men: John Lennon who was born in 1940, Paul McCartney born in 1942 turned out to be Lennon’s writing soul mate. George Harrison was the third member of the group who met McCartney during school. The last member of the beatle clan was Ringo Starr. Before the Beatles, America believed that rock-‘n’-roll music was just a forgotten moment in time, but the Beatles helped the Americans remember those forgotten times, and after 1963, no one could stop the Beatles, except each other. Even though McCartney, and Lennon were inseparable when it came down to writing lyrics, underneath the surface they were growing apart. Both had gotten married; Lennon married a Japanese artist Yoko Ono, and McCartney married a rock photographer Linda Eastman. “By 1969 Lennon was ready to quit the group. McCartney is said to have talked him out of going public with this desire; but then in April 1970 McCartney himself announced that the group was disbanding” (Loder). Everyone seemed to move on: McCartney went on to record some music with another band, Harrison did his Indo-mystical inclinations, Ringo did some records, movies, television, and some…

    For as long as most anyone can remember The Beatles have been known as one of the greatest bands in history. Though the British band has its roots in a land far from the United States, they too crossed the pond during the so called British Invasion in the 1960s prior to the official start of American involvement in the infamous Vietnam War. It came as no surprise that all those Brits influenced the music here in the states, but soon enough our culture influenced them as well. From his songs in Meet the Beatles to SGT. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and eventually into his solo career, John Lennon grew to express not only his emotion and feel good rhythms through his music but his political as well as philosophical beliefs.…

    Right away The Beatles were a huge hit. Immediately they acquired large crowds and unforgettable performances. They had no idea why women cried at their concerts, or why so many people liked them. There was one thing for sure, they weren’t there for the fortune and fame, they were strictly there to create and play the inspirational music that they enjoyed playing. What started with a bang, also left with a bang. The band broke up in 1970, leaving three of the four Beatle on their own to create singles. Two of the four Beatle are still alive and making music today. Ringo and Paul do not coordinate in music anymore, but Paul has made many new and modern songs with other popular artists, such as Kanye West and Rihanna. The fame and influence of The Beatles will never die out, even through the changing music styles of today.…

    John Winston Lennon was an extremely talented and very well known songwriter, composer, and recording artist in the 1960’s. Many people today still look at Lennon as an inspirational singer that put meaning into the songs he wrote. Lennon demonstrates his powerful thought in his best-selling single of his solo career “Imagine”. This song encourages listeners to imagine a world at peace and to not live a life focused on material possessions. He started off small, just like any other, and had plenty of shares of hardships along the way. Despite all of this, through the lyrics of his music, he was able to have a big impact not only on me, but on society as well.…

    In Warhol’s portrait of Lennon, he uses value not only to depict his depressed mood, but also to shed some light on how inspiring Lennon’s life was. Warhol draws attention by highlighting the left side of Lennon’s face. He brightens one side to symbolize “the light” one might encounter when going to heaven. In the song “Imagine”, Lennon sings of “living life in peace”. Warhol wanted to depict how he now believes Lennon’s life is at peace. He also illuminates half of Lennon’s face to demonstrate the purity and kindness of Lennon’s soul. Lennon dreams of the “brotherhood of man”, which is ironic considering he was assassinated by a fellow human being with whom he wanted to “live as one”. This irony is interpreted through the shadowed, right side of Lennon’s face. Warhol was devastated by the death of John Lennon, as were millions of other people around the world. Warhol depicts his devastation through the dark rings…
