Bonsoir. Pouvez-vous s'il vous plait me dire s'il y a des fautes ?


When the Beatles released their album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in the late spring of 1967, fans and critics alike were quick to find references to drugs throughout the LP. The album's deliriously decorated jacket featured marijuana plants in the garden behind which the Beatles Stood.
With Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and particulary its dreamlike imagery, it's easily to connect the feelings, sensations and visions of people who experiment hallucinogenic drugs.
Despite these public proclamations about his drug use, John Lennon steadfastly denied that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was about drugs. Lennon instead consistently claimed that the song was a response to a picture painted by his almost four-year-old son Julian. The oft-repeated story goes that Julian had brought the picture home from school and told his father that it was of his friend, Lucy, who was up in the sky with diamonds. Lennon’s mind had then wandered toward the Lewis Carroll books Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass that he had long admired and recently been re-reading. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was born when Lennon took images from Julian’s picture and combined them with elements of Carroll’s stories and poems
However, interviewed about the song, Paul add, three decade later, it's pretty obvious that this song was inspired by LSD.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a song to the style typically psychedelic, both by his colourful text - which helps to substantiate the rumors about the references to drugs - and by its soundscape. The song is built like a narrated dream, where the author, John Lennon, invites the listener to imagine the situations that he describes. To begin with, it is to imagine being in a boat, with a "Tangerine" ("tangerine trees") and the "marmalade skies" ("marmalade skies"), until the birth of a certain character: a girl with eyes kaleidoscopes. But while yellow and green cellophane flowers stand on your head, the girl disappears. The song then describes the pursuit of this girl, through scenes filled with psychedelic images. In a universe where flowers climb particularly high and anyone smiling, we eventually get to a bridge where "people on rocking horses" ("rocking horse people") eat Marshmallowpies, and where 'newspaper taxis' ("newspaper taxis") appear for embark you, head in the clouds. The last verse starts again with an invitation, but this time to imagine in a train in a station where porters, who are in plasticine, are trimmed of "ties in mirror" ("looking glass ties"). It is at this point that the girl eyed kaleidoscopes reappears.
