From Songfacts: The final chord was produced by all four Beatles and George Martin banging on three pianos simultaneously. As the sound diminished, the engineer boosted to faders. The resulting note lasts 42 seconds; the studio air conditioners can be heard toward the end as the faders were pushed to the limit to record it. This being the last song on the album, The Beatles found an interesting way to close it out. After the final note, Lennon had producer George Martin dub in a high pitched tone, which most humans can't hear, but drives dogs crazy. This was followed by a loop of incomprehensible studio noise, along with Paul McCartney saying, "Never could see any other way," all spliced together. It was put there so vinyl copies would play this continuously in the run-out groove, sounding like something went horribly wrong with the record. Another good reason to own vinyl.

When you play that run-out groove in reverse, you hear "Paul McCartney's daddy, too" (the "too" is almost inaudible). And there was a conspiracy theory going at that time that claimed that Paul had died and been replaced by a look-alike imposter (other "evidence" of this conspiracy is, for example, on the cover of "Abbey Road", where Paul is holding a cigarette in his right hand but he was left-handed, and the VW Beetle --- notice the pun --- has the license plate "28 IF", which allegedly meant that Paul would be 28 at the time IF he were alive...). Believers in that theory claimed that what they really said was "Paul McCartney's DEAD".

In 1967 I was 13 yrs old and had bought this LP raced home to play it on my zenith cabinet record player. After the third or fourth time my father (a violinist) came home heard this playing, came into my room and sat down next to me and we both just sat there and listened. When it finished he said play it again so we sat there and listened to it again. When it ended he stood up and said that was a masterpiece of music, then left. I felt connected with my estranged dad for the first time. After that we were estranged again. RIP Dad

The person who turned John and George onto LSD was their dentist who slipped it into their coffee at a dinner party at his home where he invited the two over with their wives. Actually he spiked all four of them. The person who died in the car accident was a 25 year old heir of the Guinness family who crashed his car and died that John read about in the newspaper, it had nothing to do with him doing drugs in his car. The four thousand holes reference was about a road crew that was sent out to count portholes and in one road they counted 4000 holes in one road. This was another small article that John read in the newspaper. This song and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds were banned by the BBC from being played on the radio because of their drug references. The only one I can find in this song are "I'd love to turn you on" and Mccartney's "found my way upstairs and had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream" a reefer reference. I'm not even sure the BBC caught that one. This nonsense was all started by a radio dj who pointed out in Lucy In The Sky LSD L- Lucy S-Sky D-Diamonds. Get it, LSD. Sgt Pepper's is voted as the greatest Lp in history.

A Day In The Life is not a song about drugs! The lyrics were literally taken from the morning newspaper at the time. Three stories from the newspaper with the middle part contributed by Paul, a song he was working on but had not finished, so they stuck it in the middle. The BBC banned the song because they felt it conveyed a slight against the government over the Albert Hall lyric. By the way, the final chord contains a dog whistle along with it! Also, the jibberish at the end was not on the original album. They are saying, Could not see it any other way. It was put on the 2017 mix of the album. Previously unreleased material.

This is 2 songs. Neither John or Paul were able to finish their song so when they got together they decided to merge the songs. John's was about stuff he was reading in the newspaper one of them being about their friend. The instrument creciendo before the middle and at the end was done by having orchestral musicians increasing the volume of their instruments in a tremendous build up. The song may not be the greatest because how you can decide the greatest in music but it is, as they have others, a very important song because of the instruments used and the structure of the song. It made others to change the way they looked at making music.

It's not just a volume increase, the orchestra were told to start on the lowest note of their particular instrument and play higher and higher notes at their own pace over a set number of bars which was counted out by The Beatles roadie, Mal Evans. Some of them, like the string section, moved more smoothly in unison, others like the trumpets, being more forceful, were pushing ahead a little.

Their friend was Tara Browne ( a young man) who was a Guiness family member & heir. He was only 21 years old & died in a car wreck NOT from a drug overdose. The line "I'd Love to turn you on" is definitely a nod & a wink to getting high. The middle section was a song fragment that Paul had which fit perfectly . Think about the remarkable achievement this song was in early 1967!...There were only 4 track analog tape machines. No digital, no auto-tune. no sampling....just REAL sounds & music. They used a 40 piece Orchestra for the two ascending crescendos & the end of Paul's middle..The last chord were 3 grand pianos hitting the same key at once to a complete fade-out..The ending was geared for the run-out groove on a manual turntable....As far as we can decipher it says something to the effect of "never to be/see any other way"...overlying what sounds like George saying "all fucked up"...over & over again. They also recorded an inaudible ( to humans ) dog whistle near the end...just for fun! (LOL)..Kudos to fantastic drumming by Ringo!

I’m not sure that you can pick the best song of the best band in history (at least I can’t). There are just too many of them, and some of them are personal favorites. Like on the White Album, I know a lot of people (almost everyone) will disagree with me, but one of the songs I really love is Savoy Truffle. I know it’s not an important musical event (I’m sure George would have said the same thing), but if I put on a great set of headphones, it just takes me away. The horns, the guitars, George’s voice, Ringo’s drumming, and Paul’s bass takes me away on a musical journey. Is it one of my favorites? It absolutely is !! I love it ! it. I just love it! Is it their best ? I Not even close. Not even in the same room as other worthy candidates. I’m sure that I’ll just get scorn in return, but it’s hard for me to separate “best” from “favorite.” Naturally, The Beatles have a bit of an advantage over other bands in that anything they considered to be among their worst throwaways would be some band’s best efforts. I don’t know. If there are too many favorites and only one best, I’d be a failure. I just can’t take one song across that finish line and say this is it. This is the one. No, I can’t do it.

The opening verse is about their friend, Tara Browne, who drove his Lotus Elan into the back of a van and killed himself (accidentally). He would have inherited the Guinness fortune, and he was 21 years old at the time. However, this verse was co-written with Paul McCartney, who says that wasn't what he was thinking about at all. Rather, he was thinking about a politician, bombed out on drugs, while John was obviously thinking about Tara Browne, since there was a piece in the paper about him along with the story about "4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire." So, it was and yet it wasn't about Tara Browne. Paul also commented that they both knew the song had drug references in it, but that's not the point of the song at all, of course.

Born in 1965 and The Beatles were on the radio a lot on Chicago airwaves. My parents enjoyed their music, but it spoke to my sister and I on a whole-not her level. We are both lifelong Beatles nuts. As a hobby musician, I recognise the talent and the true art form of their music and why it will all live on for hundreds of years, like the the great Boroch and romantic periods composers. This song, however, is an absolute work of art! Both orchestral crescendos were performed there at Abby Road studio 1, by some of Londons Symphony orchestra members. They were asked to build from the lower note up through the octaves to the higher note of B (I'm unsure if it is B). What challenged the trained orchestra members is they were told to do it free form, however they each climbed, but to all arrive at the fina note, at the same precise time! To facilitate that, there was a quite large digital clock brought into the studio so they could all see the time elapse. They all quite enjoyed the freeness of it because it was something an orchestra should never do. The final crescendo at the end was held until the resonance naturally dissipated, without any other sounds in the studio. Notice the resonance of the piano continues last and the note did not bend or lose pitch. It was perfect, with much thanks to George Martin. Perfection personified! God bless The Beatles, and we get to receive their gifts for us all to enjoy forever.

The ending bit is originally the inner groove of the album which apparently is 'Paul is dead' played backwards. There was a conspiracy that Paul had died and was replaced by a doppelganger. On the cover of Abbey Road, there is a VW beetle with the rego plate IF 28. Which was supposed to mean Paul would be 28 if he was still alive. The personas the four of them portray are, George in blue denim as the gravedigger, Paul the corpse in a grey suit and bare feet, Ringo in black as the undertaker and John in white as the preacher. There are further references too. 'A day in the life' in the life of a 15 yo fan was astounding and 54 years later still is.

What you heard at the end is not not related to the song but was the ending of the album it was Lucy in the sky sped up . The He blew his mind out in a car he didn't noticed that the lights had changed 9s not about drugs but is a reference to the conspiracy theory that Paul Mccartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was disfigured and even decapitated ( he blew his mind in a car ) and was replaced by a look alike called William or Billy Shears.

The reason this song is one of the best ever is because the lyrics are relatively mundane/ everyday / “a day in the life” type shit but the music suggests that it’s all part of some grand picture of life that we don’t know yet.

The Best Beatle song for me depends on which song I am listening to and I how I am feeling emotionally that day. LOL, as a die hard Beatles fan it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to pick ONE Beatles song that I think would be the "best" For me THEY ARE ALL FANTASTIC from 1963 - 1970 I love them all, EVERY PERIOD of their career.

I was a young teenager. First time hearing was the same as expressed by Geoff Emerik the Beatles Sound Engineer. In the control room were Mick Jagger and some Monkees and the producer of the Hollies. Geoff recalls the absolute silence during their first listening - and the silence afterwards. The Hollies producer said he was giving it away, He couldn't do that. Go and check out what Geoff said in his own words. BTW..not about drugs at all. Paul confessed recently they knew they would be controversial by putting that line in. But the song was not about drugs but about the meaningless trivia but also part of a something colossal but you don't know what it is..

The guy who blew his mind out in a car was Tara Browne, socialite and heir to the Guinness fortune, who died when he crashed his Lotus sports car in Chelsea in December 1966, while speeding at 106 mph nd under the influence of drugs.

Don't forget the Beatles wanted the last laugh (as an inside joke) and included A DOG WHISTLE BEING BLOWN IN THE LAST 7 SECONDS

It’s not a drug song, it’s John reading headlines from a newspaper. Lennon's lyrics were mainly inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, including a report on the death of Guinness heir Tara Browne. Tara Browne dies Sunday 18 December 1966 People 13 Comments The 21-year-old socialite Tara Browne, a friend to The Beatles and an heir to the Guinness empire, died on this day in a traffic accident. A report detailing the coroner’s verdict into his death inspired John Lennon when writing ‘A Day In The Life’.

The first verse is about the news of a car crash that Lennon read in the newspaper. “He didn’t notice that the (traffic) lights had changed”

The last note does not end. On vinyl it was continuous. It was a song that never ended.

The chatter at the end was just a joke they threw in for the end of the album. It was made so the groove on the record would play it infinitely and they added a dog whistle in it that we cant hear but your dog in your house can!

Everyone has tried to analyse this song. No one can believe the sounds and lyrics. Paul and John wanted to do more of this type of music. Then they decided to let everyone take this masterpiece in first.They did not want to go to far forward and leave their fans behind. Call this 5he best the Beatles did, that would not be true. 90% of the Beatles work are masterpieces

This song started out about an article in the newspaper about an heir to the Guinness beer estate who died in a traffic accident.
