Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Interpretation

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
During the era of the 1960’s, the Beatles provided some of the greatest music the world has ever seen, and still to this day the Beatles not only influence their audience, but new artists and music as well. The Beatles constructed many different songs throughout their time, starting with a simple “I Want to Hold your Hand” from the album Meet the Beatles! to a very deep and complex “A Day in the Life” from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Which definitely stood out as one of their more complicated albums; with many possible meanings behind each separate song. The album contains thirteen songs, all of them being individually creative. The lyrics, music, and relation of the songs to the album as a
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” is the perfect commencement for the album. It can be implied that the song represents an opening act in a carnival or circus type of setting. The significance of this being the first song is to introduce and foreshadow the album all together. The first verse of the song is introducing the album, the second verse is speaking to their audience to enjoy the album, and the last verse is the last introduction of the song and album. Although “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” is the first song in the album, the reprise of the song is also towards the end of the album to help wrap it up or “end the show”.
Much like the last song, the song “With a Little Help from My Friends” is very upbeat and positive. The songs overall message is all you really need in life is good friends to help you get by in life. The first verse is stating how friends will still be there when you mess up and when your significant other is not. The lyrics “Mm I get high with a little help from my friends” can be taken as an emotional high, or a drug high. The lyrics are very repetitive in this song which is not as common in this
This song seems to be one of the deeper songs in life and can relate to “A Day in the Life” with the message, the universe is within you, but will go on without you. Even though you’re a part of the universe, once you’re gone the world keeps going on. The main theme of this song is peace and love with a religious message on how the world we think we see is an illusion. Humanity tends to focus on materialistic things when we should be concerned on love and peace in the world instead. The world would be a much better place that way. The lyrics imply that people that never really see the world for what it is, never know the truth about the world until it’s too late. The Lyrics in this song have a very deep and straight forward meaning. If people would love more instead of fight then we could save the world, but in order to do so, people have to realize that first the change is within themselves. “We are talking about a love that’s gone so cold and people who gain the world and lose their soul.” These lyrics stand out because so much of humanity prefer materialistic things over relationships and when in the process of gaining so much, people can lose themselves and their goodwill. The last half of the song explains how humanity is all one whether you realize it or not and that life flows within you, but also flows without
