Since John Lennon composed Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in early
1967, fans and music critics alike have argued over the meaning of
the song. Is it about drugs? Is it just a lyrical response to a
drawing given Lennon by his 4-year-old son Julian? Is there some
deeper meaning? Professor Tim Kasser goes beyond speculative
explanations by applying innovative psychological methods to the
song's lyrics and music. He deeply analyzes the song's linguistic
structure, its basic theme, and the way its words and music had
been used by Lennon in earlier songs. As the findings accumulate,
Kasser weaves them together with the facts of Lennon's life and
established psychological theories to provide an integrative (and
sometimes surprising) perspective on the psychological processes
that led Lennon to write Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Kasser goes
on to follow the unfolding of these personal dynamics in later
Lennon songs like I am the Walrus, Yer Blues, and Working Class
Hero.
No other book has so closely examined this period of Lennon's life
with such a sophisticated psychological approach. Kasser's methods
and perspective point to the usefulness of scientific psychology
for understanding why a particular person does a particular thing
at a particular time, at the same time that they shed new light on
this fascinating and controversial man.
