His son called the painting ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’, after one of his classmates, Lucy. Lucy died from Lupus in 2009; Lennon’s son became a patron of the St. Thomas Lupus Trust, which funds research into this disease. Another story about this song is less innocent.

Diamond Heart by Lady Gaga is somewhat of an autobiographical song. It is about chasing the American dream and doing whatever it takes to achieve it.

Diamonds don’t cheat, diamonds don’t leave you and diamonds don’t break your trust. That’s what Bea Miller must have thought.

But the other person is only chasing the value in life and is done with the drama. They want diamonds, not drama: “Save your love and buy me diamonds.”
