"%22A Day in the Life%22 is the final song on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. Credited to Lennon\u2013McCartney, 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.The supposed drug reference in the line %22I'd love to turn you on%22 resulted in the song initially being banned from broadcast by the BBC. Since its original album release, %22A Day in the Life%22 has been released as a B-side, and also on various compilation albums. It has been covered by other artists, and since 2008, by McCartney in his live performances. It was ranked the 28th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. On a different list, the magazine ranked it as the greatest Beatles song." . "Psychedelic rock songs" . "english" . . . "Songs inspired by deaths" . . "RSO Records singles" . "638670"^^ . . .
