Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds to Mary Poppins

Karl,

Thanks for the comments!

If we all agreed on everything, there would be no points for discussion. Similarly, why would you want to take your valuable time to comment on something if it weren't appreciated?

So good on you.

Hopefully, we can encourage others to comment on stuff and make this forum more lively and therefore more interesting for everyone.

Cheers

While the elements of lyrics did match the mood and theme of the movie, there was weak direct correlation betwixt the two. I give it a "B" because I would expect tighter synchage especially when given the option to cut and paste different portions of the movie to make it fit better.

I do understand that you mean the musician is drawing insiration from the movie and that it does not have to be a direct match of the two. And I do think Andrew and Todd were thinking along the same lines as you. It happens all the time here.

Understood.

I can't (and won't) speak for them but clearly they found a vibe in Mary Poppins that they felt matched the Sgt. Pepper album.

I take it one step further by showing how The Beatles used/sampled various scenes in the film to write the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

So, clearly I'm showing a different viewpoint. I'm definitely not getting into a 'I'm right therefore someone else must be wrong' sort of thing.

Let each think and judge for themselves.

Andrew Wendland and Todd Ellis matched Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to Mary Poppins in 2003. Heres the link:
