Paul McCartney Shared a Secret with Taylor Swift Regarding "Lucy in the Sky"

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles is among the most enigmatic songs in rock history. One of its secrets was revealed to Taylor Swift by Paul McCartney. Interestingly, Paul wrote the song in a manner that was not all that dissimilar from how Swift writes parts of her songs. John Lennon dispelled a rumour regarding the song.

Paul and Swift had a joint interview for a 2020 issue of Rolling Stone. Swift said she chose to incorporate her favourite phrases into her songs even though they weren't suitable for radio play. "Marzipan," "divorcée," "elegies," and "epiphany" were a few of these terms. She claimed to have numerous lists with her favourite words. She talked about seeking up words in books that she could use into her songs.

Paul claimed that he enjoyed The Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" so much that he added the word "kaleidoscope." That's the reason the song refers to enigmatic "kaleidoscope eyes!" "My favourite word is kaleidoscope!" Quickly answered. "I just added the word 'kaleidoscope' because I'm obsessed with it to a song on the album 1989 called 'Welcome to New York.'"

Smith and the vocalist of "Hey Jude" talked about the singer's attitude towards wordsmithing. "I believe having a passion for words is fantastic, especially when writing lyrics. For me, it's all about figuring out what I want to say to the audience," he remarked.

He continued, "I often feel like I'm writing to someone who is not doing so well." "So I'm attempting to compose music that could be beneficial. Not in a preachy, idealistic sense, but simply reflecting on how many occasions in my life I've felt so much better after listening to a song. That motivating aspect seems to be the viewpoint I'm going for.
An 1980 interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono may be found in the book All We Are Saying: The Last Major Interview. John talked about "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and its beginnings in it. Similar to Swift, John sought inspiration from books. The scene where Alice takes a boat ride in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, the follow-up to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, served as the inspiration for the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
