Sgt. Peppers will go down as one of the greatest albums ever made, and finishing out the landmark album was “A Day In The Life”. The song lyrics are about a man going through a whirlwind of emotions as he reads the newspaper and the song goes through his day.

The song was written by John Lennon, who wrote the first two verses about his friend, Guinness heir Tara Browne, who was killed in a car crash in December 1966. The paper Lennon was reading was the January 17, 1967 edition of the Daily Mail.

One single from Paul McCartney came after a special someone was there for him after the fab four broke up.
