"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. It was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
Lennon's son Julian inspired the song with a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the sky with diamonds".
Shortly before the album's release, speculation arose that the first letter of each of the nouns in the title intentionally spelled "LSD". Lennon repeatedly denied that he had intended it as a drug song, and attributed the song's fantastical imagery to his reading of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books.
This song id dedicated to my wonderful and beautiful sister, Ruby Del Rosario, and to her who family. This song also goes to her loving life-partner, Armin, a successful banker, Civil Engineer, and Home Builder.
Happy Birthday, Ruby!!!
Ruby In The Sky With Diamonds!
We love you!!!

A truly wonderful version Rene. This works so good with just your strumming acoustic and vocal. You have a great range. Bravo!
Just watched it on Youtube. Great cover. And a nice Martin too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh8kyd1A91gI love how you altered the melody and made it your own.
gotta admit when this started I never would have guessed Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
For me, my favorite version of this is Elton John's (as with Pinball Wizard). Elton's is just so raucous and lively so for me it is hard to equate this as so melancholic and yet, that is likely exactly what John had in mind when he wrote it.
Cool how you personalized this to your sister. That is special...
awesome stuff man
I just remembered a recent video I saw. Elvis Costello, in his live performances, has a habit of interpolating classic songs into outros of his own songs. Here is the video I was thinking of. Wait for it.
