A Day In The Life Paul Mccartney

A Day in the Life is the final song on the Beatles Sgt. Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Credited to LennonMcCartney, the song comprises distinct sections written independently by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, with orchestral additions. While Lennon s lyrics were inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, McCartney s were reminiscent of his youth. The decisions to link sections of the song with orchestral glissandos and to end the song with a sustained piano chord were made only after the rest of the song had been recorded.
