Document Summary
Dylan"s influence can be heard in the lyrics. More meaningful, less teen-oriented, wider in scope and subject. Songs are less like each other, bolder, more individual. The most recorded song ever (over thousand covers) Bleak lyrics: a song about seemingly pointless lives, told in an emotionally dethatched manner. String group as rock band: for rock this is a completely new instrumentation. Portrays misery musically: long melodic sighs, static harmony, restless string accompaniment, amplifies the mood of the lyric, captures the desperate lives of. George martin probably scored the music, as the beatles didn"t write music. Pepper"s lonely heart"s club band; magical mystery tour. Lsd plays a major role in the music and imagery liberation of the mind, liberation of art. These are recurring themes in lsd art, culture, and discourse. Many references to tripping in music, lyrics and images; subtle references to the unenlightened vs. the enlightened (those who have turned on to lsd)
