The Beatles Psychedelic Trilogy - Part 2, Mescaline and LSD

In 1967 the Beatles' developed their undisputed masterpiece, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This is the Beatles' mescaline album. It's a radically different departure from anything at all that had come just before. It developed a globe of its own, a planet of sounds and sonic textures never heard ahead of. Its extremely form was radical as it had no singles, no spaces between the individual songs, sound effects, adequate of an overall theme to be regarded as an early kind of idea record and even a strange run out groove in the end.

The world of Sgt. Pepper's was 1 of vibrant colors and mirrored or lead the planet from a gray suited existence with black and white tv, magazines as well as motion images to 1 of technicolor films, color pictures in magazines, color television plus the acceptability of grown males to pick clothes in colors other than black, gray, brown or Navy Blue.

The songs on Sgt. Pepper's include the metaphor for an acid trip, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, one more surreal sounding song about a carnival (as metaphor for a psychedelic expertise?), Getting For The Benefit Of Mister Kite, along with a song with an instrumental interlude which is the sonic interpretation of astral projection or "tripping out" or entering "into a dream", A Day In His Life.

Once again, as with Love You To on Revolver, George Harrison delved into Indian music and this time did not just rely on the sound to convey a sense of spirituality but had the lyrics to match in Within You Without You.

Paul McCartney got accused of writing a song about hard drug use with Fixing A Hole however the fans did are inclined to get carried away despite the fact that there's no denying that Ringo states that he, "gets high with a little help from my friends."

[http://www.legalsoundz.com The Fool On The Hill]  has been interpreted as being about American politics but clearly the fool is someone basically not focused within the same reality as these observing him. One more tripping metaphor.

The instrumental, Flying, may be the soundtrack for anything at all but it really is titled "Flying" which could refer to traveling via the sky, dreaming or once again, as a synonym for tripping.

George's Blue Jay Way does not have any of his East Indian sounds but just sounds stoned nevertheless.
