Even the initials of the song are LSD.

Lennon denied that his entire life.

Don’t get me wrong. I have always loved the Beatles. But John Lennon could deny it all he wanted to. It is just too coincidental that the whole song sounds like an LSD trip (so I’ve been told, not from 1st hand experience) and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has the initials LSD.

There were other songs that Lennon freely admited were about drugs. Why just deny that one?

Her namesake, Lucy the Australopithecus, died 3.2 million years ago.
The Far Side had a cartoon once of a new "Lucy" discovery--a fossil looking like Lucy from Peanuts.

Yah,”Lucy” was a song about a girl.I don’t doubt it for a moment!

Kudos to Julian for trying to help her out but if he really wanted to make a difference, he could have sent her to a country that still - at least for now - has a world class medical system.

Cool to know this trivia.
And for all us poo pooers who say it’s about LSD and not Julian’s schoolmate, I propose it’s about both. Julian gave his dad the idea of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and while dropping acid he expounded on the idea.
Makes since to me. In the late 60s I saw Lucy in the sky a few times myself.

‘Don’t know. Just drop a tab of acid and listen to the song and you will know the truth.’
Do that and the ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’ would be a mind blowing experience.
BTW I have no dog in this fight.
Sorry to hear about the Lucy’s passing.

Maybe because he didn’t want to be seen as a simpleton songwriter.
