Πέθανε σε ηλικία 46 ετών στις 28 Σεπτέμβρη 2009 η Lucy O' Donnell, η γυναίκα που ενέπνευσε το John Lennon να γράψει το τραγούδι "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".
Η Lucy ήταν συμμαθήτρια στα νήπια του Julian Lennon, γιού του John. Μια μέρα, ο τετράχρονος τότε Julian επέστρεψε στο σπίτι του κι έδειξε στον πατέρα του μια ζωγραφιά. "Είναι η Lucy στον ουρανό με τα διαμάντια" του είπε.
Ένα χρόνο αργότερα, το 1967 ο John Lennon ηχογραφούσε το κομμάτι για το θρυλικό άλμπουμ "Sgt. Pepper's Loleny Hearts Club Band" των Beatles.
Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds
(John Lennon, Paul Mc Cartney)
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
