Inspired in part by the same real-life girl who was famously \u201cin the sky with diamonds\u201d in a little ditty penned by Lennon\u2019s dad, the song is short on story and long on wordless choruses. Yet when the 46-year-old Lennon claims to still love his childhood playmate (who passed away last year), you don\u2019t doubt there\u2019s pure truth to it. As for the inevitable Beatles comparison, the acoustic version of the song included here might as well be from 1950s Liverpool. With Lennon and Cook strumming away, blending a slightly nasal voice with a higher, clearer one, it\u2019s tough not to imagine a teenage John and Paul crafting an early tune in the McCartneys\u2019 front room. \u2013DS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JULIAN LENNON AND JAMES SCOTT COOK Lucy [theRevolution] We all recall blushing at the sight of our first innocent childhood crush.
