    Many people think this song is actually about the death of the ‘real’ Paul McCartney before he was replaced with a body double… all explained in my video here if you fancy going down that hole…

      That hole includes Beatles fans and the general public blatantly ignoring a simple fact.
      A Beatle cannot "disappear" from the public eye for two months in 1966.
      Ringo Starr cannot holiday in Spain with his wife without the press knowing about it in 1966.
      John Lennon cannot film on location in Spain without the press knowing about it in 1966.
      George Harrison cannot go to India without the press knowing about it in 1966.
      Ringo Starr cannot join John Lennon on film location in Spain without the press knowing about it in 1966.
      John Lennon cannot return from Spain to England by plane without the press knowing about it in 1966.
      But somehow, Paul McCartney, smackdab in the centre of London, at an address fan and press alike know, is not seen on television, in newspaper, in photograph or public appearance for TWO MONTHS.
      This is impossible. Everyone needs to see that elephant in the room.
      In November 1966, Allen Klein announced to the British press that he had obtained TWO BEATLES as clients. They had not yet renegotiated their contract with Brian Epstein, which was overdue by this stage. When this made the papers, a "third man" was rumoured to be part of this deal. Klein stated it was the truth.
      Brian Epstein, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr all DENIED there was any truth to this newspaper article. They were happy with Epstein's management, and there was no problems in Pepperland.
      Who couldn't be reached for comment? McCartney. Why? Because he can't be reached for comment, because after two months of completely avoiding any person on Earth, he manages to leave England for Africa undetected. (Please see Mal Evans dates for this trip. They are correct. McCartney's are not. Or whether Jane Asher was on this trip or not.) He manages to leave England the same day the press are snapping photos of John Lennon coming back from Spain.
      Who wasn't happy with Epstein's management. Guess who.

    I was 13 in the 1980s. I only vaguely knew about the Beatles and mostly their mop-top thing. My parents were mad at me, my brother hated me and I had no friends. It was dark. In my room I put on my headphones and turned on the radio. This song came on. I knew it was the Beatles but it was like nothing I had ever heard before. My eyes closed, I could see waves of color emanating from a beautiful Sun. I was transported, changed. Life was beautiful again. I had never done drugs or even had a beer, but I was high in the best way possible. For six years, I would describe this song to people and they could not tell me what the name was. I lived in a small town. The name of the song, as I would come to find out was A Day in the Life.

    Before I found out the reason for this part of the song. I wondered if it was about Singer Jan Berry of Jan & Dean. As it fit Jan's accident up to the point of Noticing the lights changing. A Lucky man Jan was born to well to do Parents his father William Sr had worked for Howard Huge and flew on the Spruce Gooses only flight. The Reel to Reel Jan used to record Jennie Lee came from Howard. Made the Grade Jan was a Genius who did Music on nights and weekends as he was going to UCLA and Ca School of Medicine. Blew his Mind out in a Car. Jan suffered serious Brain Damage. People stood and stared , they'd seen his face before. In the News paper Photo floating around at the time and since. Two Los Angles Police Officers are looking at the car with a Photo of Jan & Dean laying on the mangled wreck. Jan's accident happened April 12 1966.

      Lennon told Martin he wanted a sound, "Like the beginning of the world to the end," or something like that. Listen to the first few measures of this song: it's genius, all by itself. Then think of the additional brilliance it took to add the perfect middle-8, production and orchestration. Sad that Lennon restricted himself to non-Beatlesque, basic rock songs after 1970. There was some great stuff, but the team that helped him channel his cosmic visions was dissipated in the wind.

    I read somewhere that The Beatles had whimsically stated that wouldn't it be great if that last piano chord at be very end of the song could last forever. Apparently this was ingeniously enabled by having the last fading sound of the chord etched into the innermost groove of the record. So as the song finishes on a spinning turntable, the needle of record players of the day would need to be lifted up manually or, in this case, could be left to stay in that final groove and therefore the chord would keep playing indefinitely. Amazing! The level that some people's mind work!

    You say he "died instantly" but there are multiple reports that he survived the accident for at least 2 hours. Two witnesses wrapped a blanket around him, which means there was access to him in the car to do so. As it was winter, this is why they wrapped him.
    It's Marianne Faithfull telling the press he was on LSD, which conflicts with the coroner's report that say he had no drugs or alcohol in his system.

    writers seem to often state what their songs mean but to me its a lie. the truth is when we create anything we are dreaming and like dreams while we are asleep we often dont know what they mean. only someone with second sight can usually comprehend what the dream really means. So the universe speaks in code to them from everywhere and everyone else is none the wiser. Music is far more enjoyable when you understand what it really means though it does seem to resemble some kind of madness. most of the most famous songs seem to be pointing at one thing.
